Me too. Especially while getting fancy coffees. There is sometimes only one person working behind the counter and they are so busy flying around and don’t have time to grab the signed receipts. They’re working their tail off, taking a few minutes to customize each coffee and yet no extra tip. 🤷‍♀️

OP here. Thank you all for your advice. I was actually contacted by Carnival a few days ago and moved to an HC cabin on deck 2. I was surprised because they said they don’t have a waiting list. I’m guessing they also wanted my interior midship deck 7 cabin to sell for a premium to a last minute guest. 😉 It’s a huge relief as I was concerned about the small door, etc. Now the only thing I have left to do is see if my private tour company in St Martin (Bernard’s Tours) will watch my scooter while I’m on the tour. Or hopefully I can get a bicycle taxi over to the tour bus area and back. Or I may have to hobble the whole way. 😂

Well, I would care. If everyone did that, then the hallways would be full of guests and Carnival would likely do away with this “perk.”

Try resortforaday.com. I don’t do Mexico. But if I did, I would definitely do a resort. You can get ideas from TripAdvisor or the ports of call boards on CC here. As someone who doesn’t tolerate sun or being hot, this is what I do: -Wear a brimmed hat. -Bring a parasol or umbrella for walking around. -Bring a personal fan. Amazon has lots of options. I use this one, which clips onto your shirt and stays charged and blows a good breeze. It can blow air up your shirt if clipped on your waistband or clip it on your neckline to blow on your face. https://a.co/d/aPAf4y7 Or this is a good one for your face. https://a.co/d/3xOJ62w This one looks interesting https://a.co/d/9Ywaz1E

I don’t see this answered in the handicap section of the board. I fell this week and may cancel my cruise. I will be doing well to get on the ship with a rented scooter at the port in PC. Will Carnival help me haul my carry-on luggage? Thanks.

I’ve use FaceTime and it works. I called my sister in Indiana. Also, on one cruise, only I had WiFi and my husband was on the balcony and I texted him from the cabin. It worked. I think some of these scenarios work but officially Carnival doesn’t support it just because sometimes it doesn’t work. Just my theory.

Yeah. I learned the hard way. Last cruise I bought $200 worth of Gucci perfume only to discover I should have bought it at home. The only things which I have found are lovely dresses which I didn’t have buyer’s remorse after buying.

Thanks. According to the scooter people at the port, it WILL fit in there. It sounds like we’ll need to work around it.

Good idea. But wouldn’t be doable . Ive written Carnival on the off chance there’s a no-show in a HC on my sailing. I realize it’s a long shot. Thx

I have already looked through the handicap cruising boards here. So we’re on the Vista in a few weeks. I fell on Monday and I now need a scooter. Ugh! I’m so mad! Carnival’s disability department says the scooter will fit inside a regular cabin. Is this going to work? Where in the Sam Hill is this going to fit? There are no HC cabins left. What are the chances of me getting a HC cabin at the pier? I’m sick about this. My friend said she’d rather be my nurse than have me cancel even though I have insurance for cancellation.

Yes. This is the one asking for minimum of 6. Thanks for your help. I’m going to try to do your suggestion.

I want to just get a tour for $50 pp plus tip but all I can find are tours which require me to gather a group of 6. Not happening. I don’t mind going with ours for us to drive around to sightsee but I don’t want to find other people to go. Do you think we can just grab a group tour for this price when we get off the ship? We just need a tour and decent bathroom stops, no swimming. The last tour we took brought us to restrooms which had NO toilet seats! 🙄 Thanks.

Yikes! You’re making me not want to go to the deli. Which I do a lot. We’re sailing in 3 weeks and if she’s still there and has an attitude such as this, I will give her a second chance. Then I will simply smile at her, find an officer and fix the problem. Forget that noise. I’m not dealing with that all week.

True that, sista. 😁

When is the Diamond lunch and how do you get invited?
