Thanks so much for your input and WOW photos. I really appreciate those.

You totally answered my question. I had seen the curved balcony extensions on minis. I was just curious about Carib deck.

Thank you so much.

Anyone familiar with these aft cabin balconies? It looks as if there is a extended balcony , but unconnected to cabin balcony. Do those balconies extend beyond cabin and connected to cabin to create extended balcony ?

I know the mini suites on 8 below extend, though it doesn't appear that way on deck plan.

I'd appreciate any info you can share.

Thank you!:D

We will be cruising with two small kids and want to book the Green Eggs and Ham breakfast. Carnival told us we would need to reserve this when we board and that reservations can't be made in advance.

Has anyone done this activity?

When and where do we go to reserve the breakfast?

Carnival phone operators don't know. Thank in advance for your help.

From what i have heard, table numbers may change from one sailing to another. :(

Thank you for info

Hello, does anyone have a layout of Carnival Breeze large dining room with table numbers?

Just noticed after we booked that a part of fitness center is above us.

Have any of you had these suites. Are they noisy?

Would appreciate any feedback!

Hector,

Glad to hear things have improved. We had FTTF pass 18 months ago on the Magic. We got on board after 200-300 had boarded.

We discovered our cabin was not ready. Steward said we weren't on "his list"

Obviously not on the luggage list either...though our bags had FTTF tags, they didn't arrive early as promised. All luggage mixed together and passed out.

I doubt we'd buy it again since we didnt get what had been promised.

Thank you for the info. It's much appreciated. I'm relieved!:D

 

Love room service. Coffee and pastries each morning on the balcony--one of my favorite things!!! Also like it sometimes when we come back from a day of tours, tired and simply want the convenience of room service.

 

If they start with a few items, it might expand to charge for all room service.

 

I'm spoiled. If a cruise line charges for all room service, I wont sail on them.

There are too many choices of cruise lines out there.

 

I believe NCL announced this a couple of years ago. The negative reaction was so great, it was retracked in days. Cruise lines listen....

Just booked a spa cabin on deck 11, but now I have some concerns.

I have read that deck 11 cabins are noisy due to kids' center nearby and also noise from fitness center overhead on deck 12 on some ships.

We are in 11214 now. Will that put us under the fitness center--I cant tell from deck plans. is this cabin close to kids' center?

 

We chose deck 11, because we want a covered balcony. Are deck 12 balconies covered?

 

Having had a VERY noisy cabin once, we are very careful about location.

If any of you can give me info, i would greatly appreciate it.

I agree-- a window, even an obstructed view, is better than an inside. However, in this case the casino and bar were directly under that cabin. I have heard that can be very noisy. Once you have had a bad ( noisy) cabin, you are very particular about location.

 

I was glad I saw the email this morning and was able to change back to my original cabin.

Oops...duplicate posting.

I simply forgot to mark "no upgrade" this time.

Yes, I was fortunate to get original cabin back.

Just a "heads up"...

Yesterday morning an email arrived exclaiming we'd been given an "upgrade."

Technically, it was upgrade to a higher category, but not an upgrade in cabin for us. I had selected an inside(first time trying an inside cabin) in an area we carefully chose on Lido.

Our "upgrade" was to a fully-obstructed window cabin (middle of a life boat AND directly above the casino.)

Needless to say, I immediately called Princess. Within minutes we were back in our original cabin.

For those new to cruising, if given an upgrade, always check out "upgraded" cabin location on a deck plan. Don't assume an upgrade is a step up. However, many times it's great news!

Thank you Pam!

I just booked the Caribbean Princess and asked for Anytime Dining. Which dining room is usually used for anytime dining?

Thank you for the info about afternoon tea.

A new cruise port opened in Houston (Port of Houston) a few months ago. Princess, and NCL will sail from there.
Carnival continues to sail from Galveston. I believe RCCL will sail from Galveston-- not sure.
I know it's a rumor, but it would be great to have HAL sail from Houston area.
(Only hope not to Roatan/Belize City. We were very disappointed with those ports when we went there last November--had high hopes.)

I wish HAL would do a partial Panama Canal cruise from Houston like the one we took on Celebrity in 2005. It was a great 12-day cruise.

Judy,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

THanks for info about the VIP Spa relaxation room. I didnt know about it. I plan to check it out. We have Spa balcony on the MAGIC in November...so excited!

I just learned about FTTF. I immediately decided to book this for our November MAGIC cruise. There was only 1 ticket available and I purchased it! :)

This sounds great. I always love to get onboard early--how terrific to have cabin ready when we arrive.

LOVE Cruise Critic boards.

Thank you for info on getting spa bracelets. We moved our spa cabin from deck 12 to deck eleven. We wanted a covered balcony.

Thank you so much for this info. Deck 11 sounds very nice!

Trying to make final decision on spa balcony cabin selection. Have any of you out there had a spa balcony on deck 11? Any info appreciated.

Hi Jim,

I enjoyed your review. No wonder you were so disappointed with your aft suite. The enormous balcony is so special and to not have it would be a HUGE diapppointment.

 

Your opinion of Lido caabanas seem to jive with majority of those who've beenon board.
