Any other activity on this roll call? Looking for good excursions to take while in the ports. Any info?

Me too. Although the anticipation is sometimes just as good as the vacation. Puts into a happy place!

Definitely it should be for adults only. The hot tubs should be adult only. So many times children were in them without an adult. Thank goodness I'm sailing on the Pride in June. Don't get me wrong I love children. But serenity means to be serene- quiet, calm and relaxing above the ocean waves. Paints a pretty picture- it should remain that way- serene!

I called Carnival directly and prepaid our gratuities with Carnival gift cards. Just tell them the 16 or so digits on the back of the card. It makes it so easy. I also read that there are kiosks aboard the ship and you can use the gift cards, but don't hold me to that.

Try the Carnival Hub app- I think you'll like it. You can text your friends, locate different parts of the ship easily, look at your pics, sign and sail card, and find out all of the activities onboard. Not all the ships have it yet but if they do, it's worth the $5 for the entire week.

We just got off the Dream. It's a nice ship and the upgrades were very similar to that of the Sunshine and vista. Guys Burgers are great. Pasta Bella is upstairs over the Lido. Great pasta dishes- add shrimp, chicken, etc.. the BarBQue - delicious but only on sea days. We always enjoy sea days for their MDR brunches and tea. I used the weeks pass to the Spa and was totally relaxed on the heated lounge chairs, steam room and thalassatherapy pool. The comedians were very good. Casino slots were tight but someone did hit for the big jackpot. They are not hooked up to the Hub app. I missed it but as of March 15 th they will have it. It's the best thing for only $5 for the week!

Does the T pool really have medicinal value?

10 days! Yeah! With the snow coming down outside, nothing is better than a Carnival cruise in the near future!

Just booked the week in the spa for $119 - looking forward to a nice relaxing week. Tomorrow we are going to get a foot of snow! Today it's 60 degrees. The northeast is experiencing some crazy weather. What can be a better way to forget about it all than relaxing in a spa?

Thanks for the info. I will definitely look into this.

I just read that it cost $40 for a day pass into the spa area. You have use of the mineral/salt pool, heated lounge chairs, etc. with three days at sea, I might go for the three days. We're not staying in the cloud 9 spa rooms.

Yes, I'd like some feedback about buying a spa pass. I'll be on the Dream in a week- they have that special spa pool.

We loved the promenade room! It was so interesting seeing the people walk the promenade. Then, nightly entertainment was so special. We had a Birdseye view of everything. And, of course, they raised the price!

I was on the Vista last August in Italy - oh how I miss her! We had such a wonderful time aboard the Vista. We met marvelous people, great sites and a spectacular ship. She's very classy! Thanks for the memories!!!! Great cruise director, fun casino, fantastic shows, oh so food. Not everything can be perfect. Maybe it was missing tablecloths?

Clear travel bottles for shampoo, conditioner, makeup, etc. I usually ask the woman at the cosmetic counter for some. They once gave me tiny zip baggies for face cream. Saves space in luggage. A nice new travel bag from Vera Bradley.

We fly from Newark Liberty to mco-orlando. Then I use Travelynx to shuttle to a hotel.we usually stay the night before in Cape Canaveral at a hotel that has free shuttle to the pier. We we disembark, I use travelynx to get us back to the. Airport. Have a great trip! The Liberty is a nice ship. Lots of activities, shows and different types of bars and casinos.

I went to a demonstration/ lecture and the price was excellent- head to toe with hot oil and hot rocks! I believe the price was around 129.

I love wearing Land's End, starfish capris. They are so comfortable and form fitting but not tight. They are light weight. They are great for walking around the ship and exercising.

Another way is to purchase carnival gift cards,some companies like Verizon give a 10 percent discount. Then just call carnival, apply your gift card payment - just give them the number digits on the back of the card. You're also saving $$$.

We were in a balcony room on the Vista- deck 7 and I don't believe that you could open the two balconies. Check it out- curious now. Room 7427

I went to the steakhouse demo on the Vista and recently on the Valor. The vista was a western Meditteranean cruise.

104 until the Dream. Just returned from Aruba on the Valor.

Just got off the Valor and I used the Hub chat app. Worked great! My brother had an older 4s phone and he couldn't use his phone. But it worked well with the other members of our group. Good investment- $5 for the entire cruise. I loved the way it showed you how to get to a different part of the ship very easily.
