Rare trbarton Posted December 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I'm new to Carnival and traveling on the Inspiration have been looking at deck plans. What deck is the buffet on and what is it called? Is there an extra plug where the TV plugs in that one could use? Amy photos of an inside stateroom? Thanks!

SadieN Posted December 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) The buffet is Lido, deck 10 aft. No idea what it's called, even after half a dozen cruises on her. :D The vanity has one 110v American outlet and one 220v British outlet. The TVs do not have any outlets to plug in gaming systems or DVD players. The picture on carnival.com is accurate.

I asked about the TV because on Princess where the TV plugs in there is an extra socket if you need it. About photos I thought that people might have posted photos like many people do on Princess ships. That's how I found about the extra socket behind the TV. Thanks for your help!

CRocks Posted December 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2014 AC power outlets are always scarce, many pack a power strip. While the Fantasy class ships are older, I really like their open air deck space. Only real disadvantage, very few balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach_gal Posted December 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2014 What time would you suggest we arrive to check-in? We're staying at the Queen Mary and plan on walking over. We bought FTTF so would like to get there in time to board as early as possible, but don't want to arrive too early and have to wait for 2 hours. 10:45ish?? 11 am?

Shmoo here Posted December 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Do you know if it's called Café des Artistes? Thanks! Tom:) No, that's the coffee bar (sort of like Starbucks). Not a great picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTTF follow Ask where to do early FTTF checkin. In November I noticed it was a special line with the rest of the early check in pax. Not at the Little Building.

Linda the Book Lover Posted December 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 10, 2014 On the Imagination we brought a surge strip which worked perfectly. We will do the same on the Inspiration. The DD and I stayed on the Queen Mary pre-cruise and we found out from staff that sometimes if the weather is inclement the FTTF etc. check-in might be through the side door of the large dome building. As other posters stated it is usually around 11:00-11:30 when you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted December 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Early check in is at the QM separate line. On Sunday, it is outside on the park area outside the dome. After the lines from early check in (VIP, weddings, FTTF, zones), they let people check in in the dome.

THIS IS US! Posted December 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If staying at the AM prior to cursing and have a room on the parking lot side you can hear the ship announcements for disembarkation and can time your short jaunt to check in. If you pack like you are going on a three week cruise rather than a three day cruise like my DM and I then drop your bags off at the entrance to the parking structure with the porters. Make sure to let them know you have ftf your tags should indicate ftf but just so they see it. Check in at the counters with everyone else. FTF line to board was on the far right but check in will direct you. Happy crusing As for the outlet my DM brought a multi device charging station to use in the one outlet. We charged two phones and two kindles at once. There are devices that can charge more devices at once but this met our needs. Otherwise go old school and bring a power strip. Happy crusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
