Drat, mine is showing the same in AZ. No appointments after May 22. 
Looks like I better order the home proctored tests. 

50% off on some of those wines is a great deal! Looking at some of the sparkling choices for our next trip. 

You can even see on your boarding pass that you will be gold.

My youngest 2 turn gold on our next cruise and our boarding passes reflect that, so they will be gold the whole time.

This question is perfect timing for me! I have a large family and we are traveling with my mom and brother's family in a few weeks. I linked our bookings but I have been waitlisted for early dining, my brother's room is waitlisted for anytime, and my Mom's room has anytime right now.

I like anytime but thought that since there are 11 of us traveling together it would be a long time for them to find a table(s) for us to eat together. So this eases my mind a bit.

I am still hoping that we somehow end up on early dining (I'll try once on board) so that it'll be easier but this eases my mind that we won't be too bad off with anytime.

We do it yearly. It's mostly about a nice quick cruise. The ports are OK. Nothing super exciting to rave about but a great get-a-way that is economical for us.

Twilight Zone is my first drink every time!

It just says Vacation to me!

So my  husband actually dealt with this and it wasn't a big problem for us.

His birth certificate had his name spelled one way, his social security card another, and his drivers license yet another (things were much more relaxed in the early '80s).

Think Roberto Antonio, Robert Anthony, Robert Anthonio.

We booked under 'Robert' and got hassled on one of our cruises so he applied for a Passport. There was a place to explain name differences and he just explained that while he birth certificate says 'Roberto' he goes by 'Robert' and they issued his passport as Robert Anthony.

I'd really like to see the name discrepancy OPs mom has between what she is known as and what is on her B.C.

Wow!! I just saw that the lido dining area lost the purple octopus things. It looks so much better now!!

I love this old ship and am happy when someone takes the time to do a review from the west coast!

Yes! This a great tip. We learned the hard way last time.

I just bought one and the promotion said something about being for new users only.

Thank you so much for the heads up bought 2!

This doesn't sound good at all.

Depending on how you booked you can switch the kids to one room. They don't have to have one of you in the room if your reservations are linked.

Carnivals policy: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2544/~/minor-guest-policy

Where minor guests can be booked in relation to relative or guardian:

• Guests 12 and younger
  If the relative or guardian insists on booking separate staterooms, minors must either be directly across the hall or next door. Guests 12 and under may not be assigned to a balcony stateroom without a relative or guardian (25 years of age or older).
  
• Guests 13 - 17 years of age
  Can be booked up to 3 staterooms away from a relative or guardian (25 years of age or older).
  
• Guests 18 – 20 years of age
  Do not have any restrictions and may book whatever location they prefer.
  

We do a 4 nt often. I’ve got 13, 10, 5, and 1.5 year old boys.

It’s a great time and we always have a blast.

I think it’ll be a good intro to cruising for them.

I hope someone that has sailed out of Long Beach Recently (since the dome remodel) weighs in here.

I know they were kind of lax on it before but they may be enforcing the times now.

I'm going to have to keep an eye out for Key Lime Pie! It's my all time favorite.

For me it's a Twilight Zone.

The kids grab an ice cream cone first thing then pizza.

I'd double check price with VitalChek for sure.

They are legit.

You can see that your gold by looking at your Boarding Passes.

They'll already say Gold on them!

I am literally on the phone right now and was/am worried about the same thing!

I already have $58 and will be getting another $17 right now and I worry they'll somehow screw it up and I'll lose my original $58.

Well I shouldn't have been nervous! I actually got far more OBC than I was expecting when I did my mock booking. So glad I called and that they update your docs right away.

We are of the more dressy type and yes, my 3 boys and husband wear nice shorts with polos or collared shirts on casual evenings.

Thank you so much for the video! I saw some pics but this was great.

I'm so excited to see it for myself in March.

Hardly ever mentioned but I LOVE the lasagna they serve!

Great review! I've really enjoyed it and it is making me miss New Orleans. I haven't been in years!

1. Muster.
   
2. That Guy's and Blue Iguana aren't open longer.
   
3. Packing on the last night.
   

We use a pill organizer but we always pack extra!

I usually bring my pills +3 days worth in case something were to happen and the ship doesn't get back to port in time. (Remember the Triumph poo cruise)
