The hubs and I will be celebrating an anniversary on our upcoming cruise. The Carnival website asks you if you will be celebrating anything on the cruise and what day will you like to celebrate it. I don't think you can expect the crew to know your birthday and when you would like for it to be acknowledged.
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.
