407dm Posted November 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2006 WWooooooooHooooooo Booked on the Ecstasy for Feb 5 cruise out of Galveston. I took this same cruise in August and loved it so much that I am going to take the old brother and go again. We were booked in Empress 299 (an inside) 4D room. I was checking prices to see if they had dropped and saw that Empress 7 (an outside) 5A room with 2 portholes was open. I called the carnival 800 number and talked to a carnival rep. She changed the room and gave us a $10 price drop. I have found that working with the 800 number people to be easier than finding a travel agent and they seem to work with me very well. I will even keep an eye out for the 60 day price drop - only 8 days away. Not expecting more of a drop but you never know. I know we are at the front of the ship and hoping for calm seas. Has anyone else ever had a room this far up front ??????????? Please tell of your experience. doing the happy dance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin comes with a built in alarm clock. If you have a tendering port be prepared to be awakened by a very loud noise. That will be the anchor being lowered.:D Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have E16. 1st window after portholes. Will post a review here when we get back. But if you will search for cruisenstace she just posted a long review of 11-18-06 cruise and they were in E12, E14, and E20.:D Already done the Happy Dance, Doc Dance, and now am doing the Great Anxiety Dance according to my BF:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
