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

we were pretty far forward on one cruise in which we booked a guarantee.

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
