  1. I just wrote a detailed review of my time on the Glory last week and when I went to click on submit new thread it said my session had timed out and asked me to sign in again. I did so, but it deleted my review! I just spent the last hour collecting thoughts and typing it. I AM SO ANGRY!!!! :mad:

     

    OMG:eek::eek:

  2. Hi everyone - forgive me if this has been answered before but I'm on my cell and the search feature is not working.

     

    I applied for my first passport today Anna's there clerk asked me if I was going on a trip. When I mentioned yes, but said I was going in a cruise so I didn't really need a passport. Note, I have crossed before both solo and with me husband and kids, and the kids and I have never had passports.

     

    The clerk told me I was lucky I came in when I did because passports were now required for a cruise to a foreign port, even if it returns to the original U.S. port. She told me that this was a new rule, and reiterated that I was lucky I came in when I did as I am sailing mid-January. Needless to say, I was shocked - I was only getting my passport because it seemed like a good idea to finally get one stop I can get in and it if Canada when we visit my in-laws in Detroit!

     

    Looking at Carnival's FAQ's: "Cruises that begin and end in the same U.S port / Cruises that begin and end in a different U.S port

    ALL guests are required to carry proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate OR a valid, unexpired U.S passport OR a WHTI-Compliant Document AND proof of identification (a non-expired government-issued photo ID for all guests 16 years of age or older)."

     

    Has anyone been told this or heard if a "new" rule?

     

    Clerk was wrong.

  3. On Princess we were able to purchase casino credits. When we embarked we would find "tickets" in whatever dollar amounts we had ordered online. These tickets could then

    be taken to the casino and cashed for their face amount.

     

    Although we are 4 star I have never thought to inquire about advance purchases of casino

    credits on HAL.

     

    Comments please

     

    Wouldn't it be easier to bring a bunch of $100 bills?

  4. I agree - should not have any problem. I bring my wine in a carry type bag or even just in a couple plastic bags (doubled). I don't put it through the scanner - just walk in and the security guy/girl just looks at it. Worse that can happen, they ask for id and take away - but I doubt it. Don't forget it's 2 bottles per cabin (750 ml each). Good luck.

     

    It's not two bottles per cabin. It's one bottle per person over the age of 21. Parent and minor in the cabin, one bottle. 4 adults over 21 in a cabin, 4 bottles.

  5. Are you kidding? Do you really think telling ANY staff member to remove a crying baby from its parents is a good idea?

     

    That approach to life is more anti-social than any crying baby.

     

    Not remove them from the parents. Tell the parents to take the baby out of the MDR. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

  6. I agree with Santa Ana or Anaheim. Takes two hours from there to San Diego. The extra you will have to pay for Uber will be made up by the lower fare on the train. Saves an hour also. If you take the train South, sit on the right side of the train for awesome coastal views.
