@Jamman54 Great review as always! Our last 2 cruises were on the Freedom and Spirit and it was great to see all the pics. Heading out on the Pride Saturday.

Nope, they give you an arrival appointment when you check in. Link the booking numbers and you can check all rooms in at the same time. Although if you really want to get "technical", this is what it says: ARRIVAL APPOINTMENT 11:00 - 11:30 AM REMINDER! To expedite check-in and minimize waiting, all guests must board together during the selected arrival appointment window.

Just you, although she will board with you so she gets that part.

This is what we do.

I haven't played the electronic hold em, but I am pretty sure video poker machines are 1 point per $5. Wouldn't surprise me if they were the same.

Call the number on the certificate and ask.

Just did in October. Going again in 17 days and will let you know.

Not exactly. I've bought shots for the table in the MDR when they use to bring them around all the time and never counted. Just paid for them. Have also bought drinks of the day for people and didn't count. This is one of those rules that Carnival uses to protect themselves from people who can't handle their booze well. If there are 10 of us sitting by the pool and I want to buy everyone a drink they are more than happy to take the money. Of course they can see that I am not ordering just to get by the 15 limit. I'm sure they would count if I just went up and said I wanted to "buy" a beer when I'm at drink #14 though. LOL

Strict how? Your not using Cheers to buy. You are paying what anyone else would for the drinks.

It does. Or at least did for us in October on the Spirit.

This is not true. Have bought many buckets of beer on all my cruises and none of them counted against Cheers or drinks everywhere from the casino. Just tell them you are buying for friends.

Another vote for Rusty's! Enjoy the cruise @sid_9169!

Bring layers. The temps in September can be all over the place. However, you are most likely to have cool nights and mornings (40's-50's) and it will take awhile for the day to warm. That 70 will likely be around 3-4 PM.

They do not. Wish they did. Get free rooms at Hard Rock.......LOL

The Breeze is a good ship (all the dream class are IMO). It's going to be quite different from what you did the first time (fantasy class). I'm sure you will all have a great time!
