Precovid , you could get drink and food delivered. That was December 2019. Hopefully still the same, as we have one rented in August, split between two couples!

We were in YC inside on Meraviglia in January, I would say that the cabin is not any bigger than other inside cabins. The bathrooms are also small compared to YC deluxe suites. You do get all of the conveniences of the YC though!

I would think that they would have 3 and 4 night cruises, as that makes more sense to me than a 2 night cruise. It amazes me at the distance some people travel for a 2 nighter. We live in West Palm and can be at the port in 30 minutes. We did a 2 night MSC from Cape Canaveral in January, that went to their private island just south of Bimini.

We were on MSC Sinfonia for an April 2019 Mediterranean cruise. We really enjoyed the smaller ship, even though it didn’t have all the bells and whistles as the newer ships.

Remember ,if you meet some new besties on the cruise, you can invite them to share your cabana with you! We did this precovid, and still keep in touch!

I’ve been to Ocean Cay 3 times, every time has been starboard side.

We were on Margaritaville in December, one of the bartenders that I have gotten to know over the years (as Grand Classica), told me there could be another ship. He mentioned Port Canaveral as a possibility. I’m pretty sure that a larger ship could not be ported at Palm Beach, limited by size of the port, and the residents of Palm Beach Island.

Shipgeeks, I know I’m late to the party, but thanks for your comments. We will be in Halifax in October, so will now send time on our own visiting to sites!!

I have read that Newport is a tender port.

I believe that there is an option to select the names to include on the card. If a name is not selected, that person registers their card information. Not sure about debit, have only registered the credit card.

Just off Liberty, they have magnetic signs for sleeping in and for out exploring!

30 miles north of the port and received the text.

It seems that Margaritaville at Sea has raised the prices to cover the 2nd passenger. Just did fake booking, $599 for interior room per passenger! This is the pricing for 2 back before 2 for 1. I’ll pass and go on RCL or Norwegian!

Check out MSC, they sail out of Canaveral and Miami. Not that they are “better”, but they are different, since they are an Italian cruise line. Their pricing structure allows for budget cruising up to luxury cruising. We have been on 5 MSC cruises with 2 more this year.

We just came off a 3 night Liberty of the seas, very few people had masks on.

We usually head to the nearest bar for a celebratory drink!

Senor Frogs is only open if another cruise ship is in port. I think it is possible to walk there, but you have a o walk along the service road to get there.

Wife and I were just on Mera for 2 nights in YC interior. Cabin is small compared to the balcony cabins, bathroom is particularly small, but doable. I’m 5’10”, 210 lbs and shower was adequate, tight but small. Not a lot of storage, pack as light as possible. Since the lounge (deck 15 forward) was a short walk up stairs, I would go there while wife showered and dressed. The pool is on deck 19 forward, restaurant on deck 18 forward, there is not deck 17. There was a buffet for breakfast and lunch on pool deck, not sure about supper. Tipping - I usually tip extra even if not expected, add more if I required extra from the butler or room steward. Thermal spa included with YC. Unisex toilet on lounge floor, not sure about deck 18, but cabin is always close by in YC. We are in YC interior again in October. Hope this helps!

Yes, we are on the October 4th cruise. Just hope that the inside cabin will work for us.

That has consistently been an issue when I have a balcony on Carnival!! Can’t enjoy the balcony!

To many cruisers, $600 is a make or break amount of money! Multiply by 2 or 3 passengers, that gets to be a huge difference!!

The room stewards have a job to do in a limited amount of time, having hundreds of people, if all follow your rules, “just” dropping off luggage would hinder the stewards from performing their duties. IMO..

For our December cruise , says “all bookings have already been bought”.

I received the same email, “per night”.

I recently purchased Cruise Cash with an AARP Carnival gift card, applied to my sign and sail. I believe it is non refundable if not used.
