Thanks! I know people love to dress up and I love to see what others are wearing, but we just don’t want to bother anymore.

Just wanted to know if people dress up for formal night when eating at Cucina? Haven’t sailed with Carnival in years and was curious.

Another question…This cruise would be a 9 night roundtrip from Seattle. For RT’s, which side, Port or Starboard, would you recommend for balcony cabin?

Thanks for the responses. I was just looking at NCL’s excursions for Skagway and counted 10 different excursions that include the White Pass Rail. Once we decide on April or September we’ll have to really look at all the different ones and also see if they will be options for our specific cruise.

We have never been to Alaska so looking to book one of the 9 or 10 night Joy cruises either April 23, 2025 or September 19, 2025. Both of these cruise Glacier Bay which is something we really wanted. None of the other longer cruises in between these dates cruise Glacier Bay. My question is if we book either of these would the White Pass Rail train excursion be running since it’s in late April or mid to late September? Thx!

I’m wondering if you could just go into O’Malleys and sit at bar or an table and have drinks and not eat.

We haven’t been on a Carnival cruise in over 10 years but wanted to try their Excel class so going on the Celebration. I know the line to get coffee at Java Blue can get long but wanted to find out if we just did grab and go from the case (soda, juice, snack etc) do you have to check out in the same coffee line? Thx!

Speaking of Bushwacker, do any of the bars, particularly the outside ones, make them? Haven’t been on a Carnival cruise since 2017 so I wasn’t sure. Will be on Celebration in April so hoping for that frozen deliciousness.

Before you answered my question I went to Carnival’s website to find out for myself and it states up to $20 a drink. I’m hoping it’s correct. Loving your “Live” and it looks like you are having an amazing time!!

Showed my hubby this and he was impressed that they had Blantons and Eagle Rare. Are these included with the Cheers package?

I read a lot of complaints last year about traffic jams in and out of Port of Miami due to construction and road closures. Just wondering for those who cruised in December if the issues were any better or worse? Are they trying to improve the flow in and out of,there? It’s been a couple of years since we’ve cruised out of Miami and we never had any real issues.

That’s good to know. When on vacation we don’t like to dress up. One of the main reasons we like NCL

I will book at least one more with NCL because I have to use up FCC but decided not to worry about loyalty to just one line anymore. Our last Princess cruise was in 2008 so we are excited to try them again. I’m glad that there are nightly shows and not just game shows. After awhile they get old. Also since NCL appears to be getting rid of their Broadway production shows, not sure what they will replace them with. The last cruise was sorely lacking in any type of stage shows and we were a little bored.

After sailing NCL for our last 10 cruises, we want to switch it up and try Princess again for our next cruise. We are looking at the new Sun Princess which looks like it will be gorgeous. Just want to hear from others who have done a good number of NCL and Princess cruises to give their opinion on which they prefer. Also, has Princess cut back on entertainment, activities, food, etc? While we have enjoyed all of our cruises with NCL, our last couple cruises really showed us that NCL is not what they use to be.

I was on the Epic over 4 years ago but I believe Atrium bar and the bars outside by the pools do frozen drinks.
