I was just upgraded this morning from an inside cabin to a balcony. Our cruise is this Saturday on Serenade.  I had bid just over the minimum amount. Yesterday I got the email stating that we might be upgraded once we got onboard and then this morning I got the upgrade.

I just returned from a Royal Caribbean cruise last Saturday and tested positive on Monday morning. I'm scheduled to cruise again next Saturday.  I have a positive test from Walgreens that will be more than 10 days from sail date. I'm afraid I will still test positive 2 days before the cruise. Is there anything else I need to get like a note from my doctor showing that I have recovered?

I have the PCR/NAAT at CVS scheduled for tomorrow morning then the the ID NOW at Walgreens in the afternoon. I also ordered the home test from eMed.  I'm so afraid that we are going to fly to Seattle from Florida and find out that we did the wrong test. 

Thanks! We're not traveling with kids so I guess we're  ok.

Will Royal accept the PCR/NAAT test? I keep reading different things. Thanks!

I just checked in on the web site. 

We are sailing on Equinox on 7/25. I want to purchase the dining package that includes 2 dinners and 1 lunch in advance. I don't see how to book your reservations when I order the package. Do you have to make your reservations once you board? Thanks!

Has anyone stayed in any of these cabins? We have all 3 cabins held for our cruise in March on Oasis. There will be six of us including a baby and a 3 year old. Do you think noise will be a problem in the cabins? Will we have a good view of the water and the diving show? Will we be able to have the balconies opened up? Thanks so much for any advise.

The price was $248 plus $91.24 taxes, fees and port expenses for a total of $339.24. My husband doesn't enjoy cruising and my friends and family couldn't go. At that price I couldn't resist! It's an interior cabin (1A) on deck 2 with a upper and lower bed. I've never been in that category but since I'll be myself I think it will be fine.

I booked a single cabin for 5 nights on Carnival Paradise back in September for $248. I sail tomorrow. Booked through Carnival's site.

According to a statement from Carnival, the four-night January 28 sailing with a scheduled call on Cozumel will be shortened to a three-night cruise to nowhere. Those choosing to sail the modified itinerary will receive a 50 percent refund and a 50 percent discount on a future cruise. Passengers can stay on overnight or get off when it docks.

Paradise is docking at the Port of Tampa now (www.porttampawebcam.com).

It's a D3 on deck 6.

I decided to check my reservation tonight after reading these post about possible upgrades. I was shocked to see that I have been upgraded from an inside to a balcony cabin on my cruise leaving Monday 1/11 on Independence. This is my first upgrade. I'm almost a diamond+ so I kept hoping that one day the upgrade fairy would pay me a visit.

I will be cruising by myself on a 5 night cruise on Independence of the Seas. Will I receive double Crown & Anchor points for this cruise? I'm hoping that I will get something extra for having to pay double the price. Thanks!

It's funny that Carnival doesn't want you to use the over the door organizer since that was the past guest gift that I got the last time that I sailed on Carnival.

I called my agent at Carnival to see if Liberty had the new wifi plan and he said that he had never heard of it. I told him that they had it on Sunshine last month and I was hoping that Liberty would have it when I sailed on 1/16. He thought that maybe it was being tested on Sunshine and didn't think any of the other ships had started the new plan. Sure hope he's wrong!

I signed up for the cheapest plan (Facebook only) when we were on Sunshine last month and I loved it. It was never slow and I loved being able to sit in the cabin and communicate with my family back home on my Kindle. I think it was $25 for all 8 nights.

We have a group of 12 cruising on Brilliance on 11/27. Does anyone know if there are tables in the dining room that will seat 12? We have signed up for my time dining and when I try to make our reservation online it will only let me put 10 at a table. Thanks!

Just off Paradise yesterday (11/15) and I got the toiletry bag.

The offer says $100 obc plus extras. Anyone know what the extras are?

We were on Allure a few weeks ago and were not able to book the character breakfast in advance. Once we got onboard we were told to just show up and they would try to get us in. We ended up going to the character breakfast two different mornings because there were different characters at each of the breakfast. We had no problem getting in. The breakfast was really nice. The characters (from Madagascar and Shrek) went to each table and let you take pictures. The menu was cute with interesting names for each of the items.
