Thank you for that info. I think I will just have a late dinner (have my time dining) so I won't need to eat late at night.

Hello, We haven't been on Carnival since 2017, we are platinum and have been cruising Celebrity since. Due to the fact, I have a few artery blockages one being very delicate/fragile, I need to see a cardiovascular specialist at which my primary made the appointment, soonest he can get me seen is august 14th, which meant I had to cancel our two week Aruba vacation as we would of been away on this date. I have some gifts that I wanted to bring back to my friends who work at the Marriott, we been going to Aruba for years now and they became like family to us. It is not advisable that I fly anyways, so we found the Vista to go to Aruba on September 7 which allows me to see the surgeon, time to get all my tests at the hospital that is needed, jump on the cruise and come back and get the first surgery done. But, I have so many question as its been years since we cruised Carnival, if anybody can help me with my questions thank you so very much! 1-How is the internet, my other half needs to jump on work calls and be in contact with work at all times. 2-I am platinum, am I correct to assume I will get priority embarkation/disembarkation and do not have to get faster to the fun? 3-Does carnival still have the 15 limit alcohol drink maximum policy, if so, embarkation day, does getting drinks after midnight go towards my second day count of drinks (when does the time end for embarkation day for first day drinks)? What is the maximum cost of a drink that is included on the cheers? We have a casino offer deal that includes drinks for both of us. 4- I have anytime dining, which dining room would I be eating in? I noticed there is an up charge for steak/lobster is it still $23.00 charge? How is the steak here compared to the steakhouse? 5- The bathroom shower, do they have curtains or shower doors? 6- Is there anything else to eat past midnight besides pizza? I need to eat low cholesterol. 7- I drink a lot of sparkling water, what brand sparkling water/can do they offer? 8- Is there a charge for the pastry at the special coffee place or is everything complimentary? 9- Are the pools salt or fresh water? 10-We have a balcony cabin, we got the last one available yesterday, is there a charge so we can use the outdoor Havana pool area?

Hello, Its been years since our last Carnival cruise, we went to Royal for a few years now been causing Celebrity since 2018. My question, on Celebrity there is no more life boat drill, you watch a video on your app and check in your designated area where your card is scanned and its all done. Does Carnival do this or do they do the old way of actually going to a life boat drill location?

Has anybody cruised to St. Lucia, curious whether the ship passes the Pitons and your able to see the Pitons from the ship?

Is valet available on american airlines using miami from a cruise in/out of ft. lauderdale?

Nothing shows up in the app yet because the cruise is in December.

Thank you for this!

Thank you for that he be very happy to hear it.

Hello all, our last RC cruise was back in 2018, we been going on 2-3 Celebrity cruises a year since so we are rusty at RC and would appreciate your help as we are booked on the FOS for December. The kids/grandkids will be with us so RC is the right choice for them and not Celebrity. 1- I noticed a recent post from the LOS in Giovanni's that was the old menu, does anybody have the menu for Giovanni's on the FOS? Is it the old menu or the new menu? My son loves chicken cutlet parmesan and the menu on the LOS did not have it in fact it was very limited on non pasta main course dishes. Would anybody happen to have this menu? 2- I stopped drinking hard alcohol and drink wine, does anybody have the wine menu's? 3- We will have our "down time" at night, what time is the Crown and Anchor lounge close at night? Do they have live band/music? 4- What time does the Diamond club close? 5- In disembarking Celebrity ships we do nothing but walk off the ship into the terminal keep walking to get out and don't even go into any security or customs lines, we simply walk off and get our luggage and leave. Does RC make us go through custom lines? How is the disembarkation on this ship, does it take long? Do we have to show passports coming off the ship inside the terminal before existing the terminal? 6- Does RC still have the luggage valet, we are using American Airlines via Miami? If so, what is the cost? Thank you!

I been on her the Beyond for three cruises, two which I was in Aqua Class and both cruises I was unable to order from the MDR menus, but these cruises were over a year ago. We were on the Equinox and able to order from all menus. I do hope your right as the menu in Blu is not as good selection for us as the MDR is.

Even though we have assigned dining at 6 we can show up at the MDR at 7:30 for dinner?

Take note on the E class you will not be allowed to choose items on the MDR menu since the kitchen is distant from Blu.

Hello, I am very confused. We have the 10 night Beyond booked for next year, and was only able to get the main seating 6pm dining. We have aqua class stateroom which means we also dine in blu so we have two questions and appreciate your help! 1- Main dining 6pm would be in which MDR? 2- Since we have Blu does that mean we still have to dine at 6pm there? I thought Blu was walk in anytime? 3- We do not care much for Blu on the Beyond and like to choose some nights in the MDR would this be allowed? We always had anytime dining and showed up where we wanted to eat dinner but now that we have scheduled 6pm I like to know the rules.

Hello, I booked the Freedom and chose cabin 7238, does anybody know on this class of ships what that white space is opposite this cabin? I am assuming its storage but then I not sure where the service elevator and crew doors are. Thanks.

We were debating that cruise in March or the Equinox using bluechip offers. Since the Beyond has too many cabins that creak and are noisy, we can't risk the chance of not sleeping for 10 nights. Bluechip offer was aqua class on the Beyond. I been on the beyond twice, the deluxe oceanview rooms do not have those sounds (from my research). Bluechip offered us a Sky Suite on the Equinox so we chose the Equinox, no chance of creaking sounds at night and a suite. Honestly, there is no list that I know of to tell which cabins are good and which are noisy.

We can dine at the specialty restaurants for free? Did I understand correctly?

Hello, Sorry all, my first post I miswrote about the E class I meant about the Solstice class ship and don't know how to change the title so rewrote a new post here correctly, sorry about that error. We are booked on sky suite 2129 and worried I will be up all night hearing rolling carts as the oceanview cafe is right above us, I am a light sleeper. Has anybody experienced this stateroom (2125-2137) on the Equinox or any other Solstice class ship? I like to hear if these cabins are very noisy with the oceanview cafe above or whether it was quiet. I can downgrade to an aqua class stateroom, it is a blue chip offer. If there was noise, what time did the noise start, I like to stay up late in the evenings and sleep until 9 lol. Thank you.

I knew I shouldn't post without having coffee first thank you, I can't correct it guess I have to make a new post ugh lol.

Thank you!

The only two advantages for us (we don't do the spa stuff) is the shower heads in the shower on the E class are great and Blu ONLY in the Solstice class. We do not care for Blu on the E class and on the E class you are unable to also order from the MDR menu's but it is allowed on the solstice class, so consider this.

Humm, I may have to think what you said here, to slow down, sounds like great advice to me. Thank you.

I just booked a suite for the Equinox was debating. Can't you eat in the MDR also or at Blu?

Thank you for explaining all of that. It is a blue chip offer, I am able to get sky suite or aqua class. I do not want to be "served", I need to move around and its just not my style having people do things for me, even getting my breakfast. lol. I am trying to decide so I won't waste a suite that somebody else could enjoy but you mention Luminae is good, so it may be worth it for that. It's possible this casino deal does not include the perks as if booking a regular suite stateroom and he is getting classic due to being sapphire, which makes sense.

The kids have their own room aft cabin, what they wanted. Thank you.
