I am so enjoying your review. I know what its like having to get patted down. I have hardware in my back. Sometimes the alarms go off, sometimes not. When they "wand" me, I show them the spot on my back, it goes off and I'm then I'm good to go.
We Had similar issues a few months back. We ended up calling Carnival and she stated they were having issues with using gift cards on line. She was able to apply them for us.
We bought a thermal pass a few cruise ago. It is unlimited access. Since then, we book spa balconies. We're thermal spa junkies. Obviously we think it's worth. We never really find it too busy or crowded. You'll usually find us in the thalassotherapy pool.
Love a road trip to a cruise!! We're flying for the first time in quite a while in a couple of weeks. Seeing your road trip makes me a little jealous 😉. Looking forward to the rest of your review!
I definitely will. I'm going to have my son video it. BTW, I'm not talking about little kids, the grandkids are teenagers. One asked to go on a cruise with us for his birthday. We are beyond excited.
We have 10:30 arriving time. The port shuttle from our hotel only has 2 runs, 9:30 and 1:30. My son is driving down from Orlando and there seems to be a lot of construction along the way so he wants to get a super early start. The plan is to do a geo cashe for the kids to follow and we'll be the the "treasure". We'll be in constant contact with DS via texts.
