This is hysterical. The Ultra price for a Cove Balcony is twice the price of "Perfect Balance" offer.

thanks everyone for the feedback. Unfortunately, I won't be booking NCL. The casino rates I'm getting with Carnival are just too damn good. Someday I'll give NCL a go, probably when we are sans kids so the price is more palatable.

HI all! We are a long time Carnival cruising family. We are trying to find alternatives. We tried Royal Caribbean last year and while some things were nice, it wasn't worth the cost difference vs Carnival. We get pretty great casino deals with Carnival. The biggest issue my family had was that RCCL did not have 24 hour soft serve ice cream. And when the soft serve was open, the lines were extremely long and you were served tiny cones by RCCL staff (if they didn't run out by the time it was your turn). Needless to say, my family has threatened me that if we ever go on another cruise without 24 hour ice cream, they will throw me overboard. So - does NCL have 24 hour, self serve, ice cream cones? Specifically looking at Breakaway for Thanksgiving, I think. Was looking at Joy but the wonky pool deck makes that one a no-go now.

Hi all! My husband and I are currently booked on the Freedom out of Port Canaveral for the last week of April for our 20th anniversary. We also looked at Breeze for the same dates out of Galveston. Had the Breeze been sailing out of a different port, we likely would have booked her instead. I’m getting more nervous about the freedom because of the terrible reviews (which I normally take with a grain of salt). The cruises are very close in price (breeze will be $100 more). Airfare is actually slightly less flying in Hobby. Seems like an easy choice to switch but I’m hesitating because we’ve sailed out of canaveral many times so we’re very familiar with flying into MCO, renting a car and driving to the port. Galveston I have no experience with. We currently have one of those balconies on freedom that is the last one before the aft wrap balcony. So it’s the different shape with the long balcony. We don’t care about the itineraries. We’ve done almost all of them in the Caribbean. Should we switch from freedom to breeze?? Or is the freedom really not as bad as the reviews say it is? Is Galveston easy to navigate? I think I would cancel cheers since we can’t use it the first day out of Galveston and we will have drinks in the casino for both of us (on freedom it would have just been for me which is why we bought cheers).

We have two rooms booked. They are across the hall from each other. My husband is booked in one room with one daughter and I am booked in the other room with our other daughter. On Carnival, first day, we would go to the customer service desk and they would give us a 2nd keycard so that we could all access each other's room. Is that how RCCL does it too? Thanks!
