Thanks for all the codes this morning and thanks for not making us guess what they are

Not sure about Netflix but If you have Amazon Prime download their app and do movies from there that is what we use when we cruise and never have any issues We have like 50 movies downloaded to our IPAD

piano bar .. if your daughter likes singing she can ask the piano man to let her sing along and most of them love it when they do that

 I must cancel a cruise  its not booked until sept 21st 2020  I have a non-refundable deposit (no complaining if i lose it) it was reduced deposit 98 dollars for two

But can i call and book a new cruise and have that transferred to that new booking.  Thanks

 

 

 

 

I booked Early Saver for a cruise and then like a month or so later for my job I realized the company I work for teaching English was doing a cruise the following week so I contacted their travel agent that we were supposed to do the group booking thru and it took about 2 weeks for her to fenagle it but she was able to get my non refundable deposits moved to the new cruise ... so doing it by yourself probably not but if you get an agent on board they can do it --- I did not have to pay any FEE's for transferring

Dumb question I think, but is the Sea Day Brunch served on every sea day?  Even if there are A LOT of sea days on the cruise? We only have 2 actual port days during an 8 day cruise.  Would the "cruising the Panama Canal day" be considered a sea day?  Just curious.  Not a big deal either way.  Could someone post the new menu in this thread?  Know it's out there already, but would be nice.    

They only do it on the days marked as Sea Day

Thanks for sharing your experiences. One of the things I was wondering about is how long you have to wait in line at the bar to get a drink? Should I still time the bartenders and wait staff? 

If the bar is busy you wait if its not you don't wait long 

If I see the line is clear at the bar I might slip in and grab a drink on my way to somewhere else 

in the comedy club and the shows it takes a bit of time to get drinks and refills so normally for those i will put my next order in when they come back with my drink as normally by the time they are done gathering more drink orders and dropping off the round they have its been 5 minutes

and if you get to know a bartender and they know you get the same thing you can usually give a little head nod and they will start preparing what you want without asking 

I use my carnival card for pretty much everything i love the fact that when i book a cruise i can go to carnival card and either get a few hundred of OBC or paying of my gratuities for a trip 

I don't drink at all when I am at home ... to many of my family members are alcoholics so its a personal choice not to drink "on land" but to only drink when I cruise and seeing how my last cruise i tossed back 10 tequilla shots in 3 hours on an all inclusive beach (i say this as i figured they are watered down) and even on the boat i can toss back 4 to 5 of patrone before it hits me - needless to say i am glad i dont drink at home since i know how i drink on the boat 

i never thought cheers was worth it and yes i drink more because i have cheers then i would if i was self paying but I really love that i can try something and not feel bad if i dont like it and dont drink it ... i also love that its prepaid for and i dont need to concern myself with what i owe at the end of the cruise 

If the cabin is the same category number as your original cabin then you should be able to just change rooms but then again its Early saver so they don't have to let you change rooms - I would contact your TA asap to find out what you can do 

If its a different category number than your original booking then you will have to pay the price difference and if it happens to be lower price than the original there is a fairly good chance they will not allow you to change it period

I book thru an agent that gives me extra OBC besides what carnival gives and his OBC will show up the first day because he purchases it for me as cruise cash .... Only once did it not show up it was no big deal I messaged him and after a little digging it turned out their office forgot to purchase it so they just added a credit to another cruise I had booked 

What you could do is message your .com place you booked thru and ask them what happens if the OBC does not show up - I say this so that if it does not show up you don't have to fret over it you can just do what ever they say perhaps they will send it to you as a refund instead

I love saving money on the gift cards. We have 4 cabins on our next cruise and have saved over $900. AARP Rewards for Good, Allstate Drivewise, Streetwise, Newegg (sometimes) and many grocery stores have them at 10% discount. There are promo codes put out regularly. We started a small group on FB and it has grown to help people find the promo codes and other discounts. Anyone can join who would like to. Carnival Cruise (Tips, Gift Card Discount Info, and General Information).

 

What is streetwise

You just click through some quizzes and articles. You can get 0/10 correct and they still give you the points. 5000 points buys you the $500 gc for $450 (plus a bit of change for tax)

You mean a bit of change for shipping ... there is no taxes on these purchases

If I understand the policy, you will be charged for the entire length of the cruise, regardless of which day you purchase it. For example, if you purchase it on the 2nd day of a 5 day cruise, you will be charged for all 5 days. You will get an adjustment in sign&sail for any applicable beverage purchases made prior to buying cheers. If I'm wrong someone here will surely correct me

You are correct which is why I said does not matter if you buy day 1 or day 2 

if you think you will want it then get it before hand and save the $5 per day

perfect i prefer the indoor movies anyways LOL

I would personally get something that gives you temporary guardianship of that child including the ability to make decisions for medical emergencies when leaving the country

But if the mom can’t drink due to medical reasons, would that exempt her from having to purchase the Cheers? 

There is no exemptions on Cheers ... You can be allergic to alcohol and they would still require you to buy cheers 


Keep in mind Cheers covers other stuff like coffees and waters etc So you would need to decide if you would drink enough and that your mom would drink enough of the specialties to make it worth otherwise just buy your drinks as you go

We leave on the sensation in 15 days just wondering what movies are playing right now

Who would want a refund because a cruise departs late? LOL! More time in Florida for me!

That is exactly what i was thinking ... as long as I am able to get on the ship at a decent time I am good for what ever time we leave 

You can only buy it the first 2 days of the cruise and you still pay full price regardless if you buy it day 1 or day 2 

the phones are good - costs a bit to make a call but if you need to you can 

I have pancreatic cancer -- just be sure to have all his meds pain, nausea, etc anything he might use even if he does not currently need it just bring it to be safe 

I tend to bring my passports with me off the ship this way god forbid i miss the ship i won't have trouble traveling to where ever i need to go in order to meet the ship or get back home 

Honestly i would not get cruise cash problem with it is if you don't use it then you will lose it 

Instead, if your trying to buy ahead of time buy some carnival gift cards this way you can buy them ahead of time and then on your cruise just use your carnival gift card to pay off what you use - you can add your credit card to begin with and just go at the end of your cruise and pay off what you owe with your giftcards or you can add the giftcard when you get on board 

Good tip about the pools since your not wanting to take advantage of the kids club how about take advantage of early morning pool time - If you go first thing in the morning say 7 am everyone else is still sleeping or trying to get breakfast .... Have one of you stay and watch the kids and have the other go grab a couple of plates of random things pasties, sausages, bacon, biscuits etc so the kids can grab a bite take a swim grab a bite take a swim etc this way you can get the early morning swimming done before it gets crowded -- when it gets crowded go ahead and leave
