Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Prefer not being forced to use the app. And, yes, a Carnival rep said 'computer' check ins may be eliminated if all goes well with Grandeur and Legend. Don't know what the flip phone users will do other than stand in line at the terminal.
  2. Now this is a topic which shoots my blood pressure up.
  3. Heads up all: I'm sailing on Vision in January and CANNOT do check in on a computer. You must check in via the APP or stand in a longer line at the pier (for me, Baltimore). Royal is doing this experiment with the Vision and the Grandeur (info from Royal representative) with the idea of extending to the entire fleet. Luggage tags will be emailed. I've reserved my arrival time via the APP but will probably do my check in in person. Don't like being forced into using tech I don't quite trust (yeah, I know, get over it).
  4. not responding specifically to your message, but: Just returned from a B2B on another cruise line. One of my table mates bragged about purchasing a diamond bracelet at on of our ports. She was flashing it around at dinner. YET, on the last night, she removed the pre-paid gratuities and didn't hand the table servers cash tips. The rest of us did provide additional tips.
  5. I believe no more than 30 minutes prior to the first terminal arrival time. My info might be bad as my first Carnival out of Baltimore was in October 2022.
  6. I didn't find Nevis particularly interesting.
  7. Anything good near the port? We arrive at 4 pm and depart at 11 pm. The two of us aren't good for walking long distances and have done the typical tours on previous cruises. Also would like a really good pina colada (I know it's a cliche'). thanks.
  8. Very true. This happened to me when trying to add either a pre or post cruise to existing reservations.
  9. Having witnessed two medical evacuations on the Grandeur of the Seas (same 12-night cruise), it gave me a much greater appreciation for the Coast Guard service members' skills and professionalism. One was a helicopter rescue and the other was a boat rescue.
  10. I was on Holland America (very small ship) last August and we tendered to the distant port.
  11. You can book refundable fares, although they are a bit more costly. I never book non-refundable; life changes too quickly.
  12. There are several reviews for this excursion on the Carnival site.
