Just Booked My First Cruise! Help Please

Tables range in size from 2-10. You'll find out who, if anybody, sits with you embarkation day. Carnival does it's best to seat people with other similar people [in your case, with another family with teenagers]. If you wish to change your seating arrangements, you can see the MaitreD. The time/place will be in your Capers

Sorry accidental double post

[anil099]

In our capers will it say how many..if any...other folks we will be seated with? and is it easy..ifu board ealry...to change it to a 4 seat table?

[jleq]

Your Capers won't tell you. You have to go to whereever the MaitreD is on Embarkation Day and ask. While they won't give you names...the MaitreD might tell you what kind of people [4 college girls from the same sorority] you're dining with.

 

May not be the sorority girls. Just wanted to give you/bro something to think about :)

I believe it is new movies in the theater.

[jleq]

There is no movie theater. The movies you'll see are usually ones recently/soon-to-be released on DVD

[AmberMarie]

No, I meant "first run" meant movies that are in the theater (or recently were) on land.

[anil099]

Sweet....ok next question lol

 

Whas the deal with internet connectivity on the sensation..or carnival in general....is it better to bring my own laptop? i hear u can rent them too...how much does internet cost if u have ur own laptop...vs rent a laptop...vs go to the cafe

Whas the deal with internet connectivity on the sensation

 

No savings if you bring your own laptop. While a few of the newer ships now allow access in your cabin, Sensation isn't one of them. Speed slightly faster than dialup. Further info on CCL internet:

anil099 - I am so glad to see you so excited about your first cruise. While you get plenty of great advice here - - may I also suggest you visit http://www.carnival.com and read the web site inside out - - you will get plenty of info there also.

 

Good Luck and enjoy!

Sneak your liquor in your check in luggage-NOT your carry on! Buy it in plastic bottles like Captain Morgan. Get free fruit punch from Lido Deck. Whalla! Tropical, fruity rum drinks incognito!

 

You can legally drink in some countries (age 18) such as Mexico like my 19 year old sister did, but I believe it is still against Carnival policy. No one will question you except your parents when you start walking funny and sluuuuring!

No, only the one night is formal. The other 2 are casual - Dockers, polos, etc. No shorts.

[anil099]
