Cruising (Carnival Freedom) to Cozumel (New Years Eve) and Belize City (New Years Day). Do you know of any bars/restaurants where we might be able to watch some football? The bars on the ship aren't that comfortable for viewing.

This will be my first cruise as Platinum...Jan.19/19 out of Galveston to Panama Canal. Questions.....

Can Priority board at any time or do they have to check in at the time on Boarding Pass?

If I check in at noon (my assigned time) will I have to sit around quite awhile before we can board?

Are the rooms usually ready at boarding time (for Platinum)?

Is debarkation a mad house or does it go smoothly (for Platinum), even if you checked bags?

I don't see where Platinum gets bottled water as I did in the lower reward levels. Did I miss seeing it?

Is the Award reception on a Formal Night?

Looking forward to the free laundry. Have you used it? Were you pleased? How long does it take to get back?

THANKS for your responses.

We're cruising to Cozumel during Thanksgiving week. Have decided to try Paradise Beach. It looks like there will be 5 ships there. If ours is the last to dock, will we possibly be turned away? Can you make reservations?

Did it have a nice beach area?

Is it possible to be in the water near the toys to keep an eye on your kids without paying the fee?

Is there plenty of shade for those of us easily-burned?

Is there plenty of shade at Nachi?
