Ashpalo Posted April 13, 2010 #754 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi Mach. Didn't have time to read through the whole thread - so sorry if someone asked this already... Any chance of arranging a Meet and Greet with John Heald one day when he is in port in Galveston?? My girls and I would love the opportunity to go on the Conquest one day when it's in port and have the "honour" of meeting John in person. I'm sure a lot of other people would be up for it, too! It would also be a GREAT opportunity for us to see the Conquest. Just an idea/wish. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ashley Visiting a ship in port is possible but it takes a bit of time to set up and time is running short. I visited the Conquest last year after she first came out of dry dock. John has two cruises left on the Conquest before he moves to the Fantasy in Mobile so I'm guessin' it's too late. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_crazy68 Posted April 14, 2010 #757 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi Mach, Can you answer a question about one of your favorite ports? Do you know what kind of beach chairs are at Doctors cave, are they regular beach loungers or those that sit straight on the beach and are curved? Thanks, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best answer is a picture: Now, the chairs and all are for a fee so I guess you can kind of customize your day there. I've stayed at Breezes, the resort at the other end of the Bay, many times and I can tell you that the beach is BEAUTIFUL!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the chairs but the view lol. Appreciate the info on the chairs too! I am seriously getting excited now, 3 weeks from today and I will be sitting on that very beach soaking up the sun and some red stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Lady Posted April 15, 2010 #761 Share Posted April 15, 2010 On Triumph, can you see your S&S balance and daily menu on the TV's, like you can on Conquest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted April 15, 2010 Author #762 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yes, it does. The Destiny is the only non-Fantasy class ship that doesn't have it... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SardisGrandma Posted April 15, 2010 #763 Share Posted April 15, 2010 In recent years the social security administration has started offering a mastercard debit card for reciepients to receive their ss checks. It is issued through Comerica Bank. The info on Atm usage says it can be used any where in the United States where mastercard debit cards are accepted. There is no surcharge if atm has certain logos like PNC, MoneyPass, Alliance, Comerica are a few. It is called US DirectExpress Mastercard Debit Card. My question is there an ATM on board the Dream? And would it be considered an ATM in the US? Basically I want to know for sure if I`m gonna be able to withdraw money on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Carnival: Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) Automatic Teller Machines are located on the Promenade Deck on all ships. There is a $5.50 fee per transaction for this service, which is controlled by the bank sponsoring the ATM's, Bank Atlantic of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Guests are able to withdraw funds and make balance inquiries on their checking and savings accounts while the ship is in port or at sea. Note: The supply of money may be depleted prior to the end of the cruise. The following is a list of major credit cards and Networks accepted: Honor Tyme Shazam American Express Magic Line Oath Mac MasterCard (Cirrus for Non-U.S) Visa (Plus) Nyce Pulse Yankee Alert :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_crazy68 Posted April 16, 2010 #765 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Mach, Any idea when the rest of 2011 and the 2012 dates are going to be available for Galveston? Alot of the other departure ports already have the availability to book out to April of 2012 and Galveston is only listed thru Aug 2011. Would like to take advantage of the Early Saver Rates for our trip we are planning for early 2012, sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to take advantage of the Early Saver Rates for our trip we are planning for early 2012, sigh Last year it took until nearly June to get the rates out. This isn't a computerized product. The folks in Miami sit there and discuss itinerary changes... prices and whatnot 'til they come up with a product they can all agree on. It may be something as simple as an excursion no longer being available or new excursions being added or as complex as bringing in a new ship! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galveston was pretty much the last port to get pricing last year as well but they're just goin' down the list!

grammacassi Posted April 16, 2010 #771 Share Posted April 16, 2010 2 questions for Mach or anyone els who know: 1: Do room stewards have access to the safe in my cabin under any circumstances? I hate to ask this because of the possible connotations and on our 1 and only cruise on the Conquest, our steward ( who was also the steward for my 3 teenage daughters' cabin POOR GUY) whose name was Johnny was nothing but wonderful, professional, fun... you get the message! 2. What are the saunas like on the Splendor? Are they co-ed? I have seen pictures of them with the big window out to the ocean:D. I cant wait! Would be nice to enjoy with my DH! 8 days and going crazy waiting!!! Thanks in advance! And let me take this opportunity to thank all who post on CC. I have never found a place with soooo much valuable information! Cassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassi To the best of my knowledge the stewards do not have the ability to access your safe. I believe that security are the only Carnival staff that can.

Either a supervisor, security or a Purser is necessary to open a safe. I can't speak to the saunas as I don't use them but I'll be glad to drop Goose an email and ask... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
