First things first. Is the slide open? :D What room, or what Cat room (if you don't want to give out the #) are you in?

Have a great time, Terry!

I will check out and post the slide schedule as well. I am in a Cat. 12 Cabin 6215. I will bring back plenty of pics! :)

Have fun Terry!:D

You are gonna LOVE it!!!

I wish you calm seas abd blue skies!! Have a blast!!!! :D

I will be going on the miracle in October and will be my first cruise. I can't wait. Have fun and I want lots of details:D

Cool! We'll be just a few cabins forward of yours in a Cat 11 Cabin 6189 when we sail. At the end of your cruise, let me know which days you can watch the sunset from the starboard side and which ports can be viewed from that side. I'm not sure I'll be getting up for any sunrises. ;)

Cabin pics would be great, also get some of the bathroom. There's always people asking for cabin pics of Cat 11 & 12 suites on the Spirit class. I plan on taking a bunch myself and making them available when I get back. Pay forward! Oh, I know, take some closeup shots of the "locking" mechanism on the balcony dividers. Our friends will be next to us in cabin 6195. I want to try to find and bring my own tool for opening the divider so we don't have to wait till the next day to get it opened. Serene56 has a shot or two of the screwhead on the divider, but it's hard to discern what it looks like in her shots.

What hotel are you staying at in Tampa? How do you like it?

Let me know how the Skipper's Club works out for you tomorrow.

When I sailed on the Pride, my sister in law had a cat. 12 cabin next to ours. We just used a knife from the bon voyage cake to open the divider. Any flat metal tool will lift the lack (no turning necessary). No special tool is needed.

1) We are staying at the Embassy Suites (near the airport). We have stayed here before. The location is great -there is a mall across the street. Of course I like the free breakfast and the manager's reception! :D They also offer free area transportation - So if we have time we will go to the other Mall near the airport.

2) Last time we sailed from Tampa, the Skipper's Club was probably the most disappointing of the Skipper's Clubs I have used (Miami, Port Canaveral,New Orleans, and Tampa). I hope it has improved. I will report on this as well.

Thanks for the tip!

Have a great trip Terry!

Still interested in what company Carnival uses for scuba diving in Belize and why it dosen't appear as a shore excursion when I look at web site to book through Carnival- we will be sailing Nov 27th.

Any insight to this situation would be appreciated!!

Thanks!

Sue and Joe

Terry, I spoke with Carnival three three's today and they all said thy have changed Cozumel and Belize. If you call tell them to look at the up dated information not just computer.

I don't understand why Cruise Critics would pull the post. Maybe they thought it also wasn't true.

So now I have to work at changing our excurions. :(

We're booked for December and will be ready every post with excitement for you (and us).:)

I look forward to hearing as much as possible as well! I'm thinking of booking for Oct. 2006 - so all you October cruisers already on the threads, I'll be wanting to read those experiences as well!! ;) Have a great cruise! I'm sure it'll be a blast!! :)

I was on the Miracle two weeks ago. The slide is open on Sea Days from 1:30-4:30. I am not to sure about port days. There is not much going on on the boats those days

I now officially hate you. :mad:

:p

Have fun!

Let me know what you think of the fitness center. Believe it or not I am looking forward to it. Is it maintained, is it very busy? Thanks!;)

I talked to them the other day and they said that they did not switch the days, it was considered but they decided not to make they change. I couldn't figure out why the posts were pulled either. Maybe Carnival complained because cruisers were calling in asking about it.

You might want to call again Carnival again. I also was told no the first time I called. I then called three other times and was told yes each time there is going to be a change. Its not listed in the regular interary. If that is where they look they will not find the change. They need to read the notes that Carnival post for updated information. :o)

Received an e-mail from our TA by e-mail today. This is what she wrote.

Hi Dawn, I just checked with Carnival, and yes the itinerary has been changed. On Thursday you will visiting to Belize (8 a.m. -5 p.m.) and Friday at Cozumel (8 a.m - 10 p.m.).
