We are taking a lower Mississippi Cruise in two weeks.  I called American Cruise lines and they said they are not having any problems or cancelations of any ports. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  

Thank you for this info.  I booked my Dad on the Nov 5th sailing. He'll be happy to hear this. 

Thank you so much for sharing.  I'm sailing on the Pride Nov. 11.

Hello, we’re on a cruise ending in Barbados. We’ll be off the ship by 9am, but our flight is at 4:30pm. We certainly don’t want to sit at the airport the entire time! The ship offers an excursion to a resort for the day but not sure if we want to sit on the beach all day. Any suggestions on the best thing to do…we will have our luggage after all. Private tour and guide? But what would be interesting to see and where to go? If we want to stop at a beach for an hour with the guide we’ll need a place where we can use the facilities to clean up. Or get a day room at a hotel if available? Just want to consider all the options! And I guess we’ll need to be at the airport by 2 or 2:30pm. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Can I ask what you ended up doing?  Nov 18th I have a flight at 415pm.  Not sure what to do.  The one-ship excursion sounds a bit lame to me. Nothing else offered.

• I have the same situation.  Nov 18th I disembark at 8:30am and my flight is at 4:15pm.  Any ideas?

Thanks, I did too, but nothing!

The only cabin left in S1 for my, soon-to-book, sailing is cabin 404.  Not midship by any means...how is is?

How much did you pay for this package?

I paid 39.00 PP with the Celebrity July 4th sale.

Can you provide the comp swapping website, please?  I have free offers on carnival also.  I am sailing on the Equinox on July 30th, can't wait to hear how your cruise was.  ENJOY!!!

Understood, but I was more interested in all inclusive drink as well as the lunch. Reason .. not so much that I want to chain drink, but the drinks by the each are quite expensive $16-$20. Also, it isn't clear that the cruise shore excursion includes access to the resort's pools such as the infinity pool on the 5th floor. The resort day pass does, I think. The problem is that I've been searching the resort's website and no where can I find a place that describes the various day pass options. They just say "Check at front desk".

I booked the World Resort package day pass excursion.  It includes 1 drink and access to the beach and pools and lunch. I didn't see any offers for all-inclusive drinks.

I agree with the prior comment, premium waters cost full price with the classic package.

Can we get regular bottled/can water and sodas with the classic drink package?

just got back from Bimini. the water there is stunning.  i highly recommend the resorts world day pass to the bimini beach club. i have been cruising for 20 years and that was one  impressive place.

 

the tram picks you up at the end of the pier and takes you right to the front of the place. there are a ton of beach front chairs and umbrellas and also tons of chairs around 2 pools.  my wife likes the pool and i like the beach. we started at the beach for a couple hours and then went to the pool. i suggest you be one of the first off the ship to get your pick of the chairs.  we were in the first tram over. 

 

also starting at 11 am you can absolutely walk down to the left and go to the vip area and order a sit down lunch and have a clear view of the ocean while you eat. the burger and fries there was $18. 

 

if i could go back tomorrow id do it the exact same way. just go there and spend as long as possible.

 

i can post some pics if you need to see it for yourself. i took quite a few and they are very good.

 

If we book the world resorts excursion, can we eat lunch at the beach club or do we have to eat at the resort restaurant?  Can we go straight to the beach club or we have to stop in the hotel first?  I'm going in July.  Thanks

New to MSC and Ocean Cay. I rented the cheapest cabana for my cruise next month. Now I'm seeing posts about small sharks, jellyfish, itching, etc on the South Beach side. I have no idea where my cabana will be, if I'll be effected or be on a better side. If anybody has more info for me, it would be much appreciated as now I'm wondering if I made the right choice. I haven't run into this on Half Moon or Coco Cay or maybe I have and just didn't know it, lol.

Hi,

How did you pick which cabana you wanted?  Was it worth it?   I'd like to get one next month.

Are they near a bar and food?

Thx

We will be on ocean cay next month. I'd love to get a cabana.   How do you pick which one you would like?  How does that work?

Was it worth getting one?

Thx

Hi,

Just booked Seaside for next month.  Does anyone know which side of the ship faces the island when it docks, Starboard or Port?  Thanks!

Which bar, looks yummy 

We are sailing this Thursday and have not been to Ocean Cay.  Does anyone know 

which area we should go to for beach chairs, umbrella (to rent) and easy access into the ocean?  But not too far from a bar.

Do you need reservations for the Ocean House on Ocean Cay?  Open for lunch and dinner?  First time going.

Hi,

1st time on MSC - on the app and the website it only shows I can book the 3 day package for specialty restaurants, not a specific one, actually doesn't even show the names and menus of them.  I called MSC 2x and had two employees who could not answer my question.  We sail on Nov 17th and wanted to book one.  Any can shed any light on this?

Thanks!

I just booked the 5 day sailing for Jan 3rd on the Celebration, got an aft extended balcony on deck 12 - looking forward to it!!

Hi,

I haven't been on Royal recently.  Does Diamond still receive 24 hours of free internet?

Yep, our August cruised just got moved.   Been to Nassau before so not greatly disappointed; however, sounding like Bimini is kind of a nothing to do port.   Any suggestions if we don't want to just lay out on a beach??

Was in Bimini 2x in last 4 months.  The World Resort Hotel has a beach club.  ITS BEAUTIFUL!  Call to see if you can visit and hang for the day, you won't be sorry!  I was on Virgin and they rent the entire bch club for the day.

Hi,

First time on Carnival.  I see the drink package is 10% off if you purchase prior to cruise, but does it ever go on sale lower than that?

We noticed this on Mardi Gras last week too.  They get so busy they forget, but if you ask, they will immediately punch your table number into their computer and print out a receipt for you to sign (we wanted to make sure they got the tip).

I will be sailing Mardi Gras July 16th through the casino.  I am new to Carnival (Usually sail Royal).  Are the free drinks just at the tables and slots while you're gambling or can you sit at the casino bar and rec free dinks?  This can help me decide if I should buy the drink package.

Hi All,

Going on The Independence May 2nd, just wondering if anyone who has cruised in April can share how many passengers onboard?  Crowded? Lines?  I read reviews from Spring Break and so glad I didn't cruise then, but May should be different I HOPE!

Thanks!!
