Thanks for the review.

Did you have to go through the fundy park and trail system to get to the sea caves?

Our up coming cruise visit St. John Oct 12th and they closed oct 9th.!

Here are the current prices for the dream (3/25/2017)

Day / Cruise (7 Days)

Social: $5 / $30

Value: $16 / $72

Premium: $25 / $119

You can upgrade from the lower plan to a higher tier one and just pay the difference.

Just the boarded the dream today.

I can confirm that the hub app is up and running.

Maybe you should upgrade to a more expensive cruise line. You get what you pay for.

Actually gratuity on celebrity is on par with carnival and twice a day is never an issue.

Well actually no, we weren't given that choice. I specifically asked and the steward said no. He then proceeded to show up sometimes in the morning most times in the evening but never both. As I don't recall you sailing in our cabin, I don't believe you are in a position to contradict my experience. But thanks for your input.

Wow what was his name?

We are boarding this Saturday. I have read a few mixed review about the dream post dry dock lately and seems like stewards doing twice a day is hit or miss

Is there a saving if you purchase the entire cruise internet package if you do it on the 2nd day?

Did this twice. Didn't tip as they didn't provide any extra service other then what was indicated.

I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone is wanting hand out from American tourists.

I can see this, but when most people skirt the system as I plan to do next week on Vista by putting an old gift card in there, it defeats the purpose. I will leave the card in when I leave the cabin if I need things to charge. Actually, my old gift card will remain there for the duration of the cruise, so it will be like not having that system in place at all. Now if the wiring weren't tied to the plugs, then that would be different. Hated it on the Solstice and I will hate it on the Vista.

Wait so if no card is in the slot none of the plugs will work?

Oh wait you're talking about tipping the bartenders? Do you not tip at bars on land if you order at the bar?

But bars on land don't automatically include tips in their pricing like cruise lines does?

Crap I wished I saw this thread before I booked my flights for October into LGA.

It's too late to change it now but is it possible to make it to the ship given the flight lands at 10:30am?

You asked the same question last month and the answer is still YES!

 

Never crowded, great service, food & drinks. Nice beach, hot tub and small pool with swim-up bar. No water toys, no music, no crowds -- we love the place!

Did they limit the amount of food you can order ?

Wife likes to try different stuff

I'm not making excuses for carnival but could the delay in passengers getting off which in turn cases a cascading effect on the crew being able to clean where otherwise would be empty?

Twice because our tips & fare paid for twice in the past and suddenly it's once?

Public shaming on a forum for something you did after almost 2 weeks after the fact? Nice

A taxi or Uber would be your bestY bet.

How is the line when being dropped off by uber?

Excellent writing, thank you for bringing a ray of sunshine to my daily drab routine!

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts and comparison. We're greatly enjoying this and living vicariously.

It is a forward , as opposed to mid or aft cabin.

 

I have read slightly conflicting reports regarding the size of the slant balconies -- are some larger than others or are they all much bigger than the standard balcony?

We had a similar cabin this summer.

The balcony was HUGE. I'd highly recommend it.

Wind is not an issue. as soon as you step back from the railing, the wind is gone since it's blocked by the forward partition.

I searched but the last thread was from 2014, does carnival still allow you to bring flowers onboard at embarkation? I understand not taking them off anywhere.

Thanks

They are on the Vista. two. But unless a ship has had then installed during a drydock in the past year, you need to bring your own USB port outlet adaptors.

I wonder if the dream will have them installed during this dry back

We did a romeinlimo private tour and thought it was terrific. You can personalize and go wherever you want.

+1 for this.

Would book rome in Limo, I'd request Laura if she was available.

Then you go and do what you want. Our first stop? a pharmacy because I was sick!.

So much for a productive day.

Can't wait to read more!

My wife has arthritis and as a result 2 replacement knees.

Each time we came on to the ship she was subjected to a pat down search by the same member of staff.

She found this discriminating and humiliating as she is very shy.

While we appreciate the need for security it was patently obvious that she was not a threat to the security of the ship.

Other passengers that we spoke to found the same problem.

As we had a drink package and the cruise in question was the Norwegian fiords there was very little possibility of smuggling contraband onboard .

There needs to be a better way.

 

Better technology and/or better staff procedures could lead to a more sensitive and welcoming approach.

I'd recommend in the future ask for guest relations and perhaps her conditions can be made known in private?

A few months ago on our b2b med, we found security to be a bit rough with the ladies, with one guy repeatedly yelling at my wife instead of asking politely, (name tag was covered by his jacket).

I ended up speaking with the concierge and received an apology. Afterward I noticed security's attitude has much improved.
