  1. We loved the Mardi Gras our only negatives and I mean ours were we felt the rooms were narrower and the bathrooms smaller but loved the glass door on the shower and they did fix the location of the toilet paper on the Celebration
  2. Believe me, we were just as surprised by this as well there was no additional personnel just the driver. It took place at the Ft Lauderdale airport for a cruise out of Miami so we did not take the Carnival shuttle back that we had booked for the end of the cruise
  3. Look at Parodeejay on Youtube they will make recommendations for tours and companies and discounts that you can get
  4. This will be our 4th trip to Alaska but always on another Carnival ship however I was curious too because Spirit will be new to us and found excellent information on Youtube
  5. To be honest we took the shuttle once, had to load and unload our own suitcases and then stopped at every terminal to pick up other passengers, we won't be doing that again. However since the bus company contracts with Carnival I am sure they would allow you on the ship just like they hold the ship for excursions that are late but personally I would fly in the night before, stay at a hotel near the airport and uber or taxi to the port the next morning
  6. Yes I've gotten it on almost every cruise however I also usually get the drink package for free with my Casino offers and you can ask the host but when I asked they very politely say not at 1500 points plus like everyone has said getting drinks throughout the ship is much better than waiting for your casino drink to arrive
  7. The Deli and Pizza are located on deck 8 at the back of the ship right before Guest Services, Summer Landing and the back elevators. Don't forget that inside Summer Landing one side is the Pig and Anchor and if you go to the right and out the side doors they have a BBQ available (free) on embarkation day, They also have a light breakfast there every morning
  8. Come to NC you will see a lot of them especially around the lakes near Charlotte
  9. Always enjoy your reviews Thank-You, we will be on the Spirit for two week Alaska cruise in September. It is the only Carnival ship we have not been on and now we have a good lay of the land. Thank-You again
  10. Actually we have always had 6pm dining but it was recommended to us to change to Your time dining and it turned out the recommendation was correct. There are so many places to eat and if we wanted the dining room rather than the other options we just checked in for 6pm because there was a Your time dining room on 7. The trick was to check in around 5:30 and we would be seated by 6
  11. No there is no charge you will get all monies back, the only charge is if sit at a table and rather than give them cash to play or say take the money from my Casino account (monies won on a slot machine) but just want to charge to your S&S account then there is a charge
  12. The Carnival Capers reappeared on our last sea day of our Journey cruise last week
  13. We use it if available on every cruise need to get my clam strips and my husband always gets the platter very worth it considering the price is really not bad
  14. It was announce by John Heald Carnival's Ambassador as well as multiple others that report on Cruise news and that's why I bought it prior to the increase for my next 5 cruises
  15. Looks like you are right above where the band is playing in Ocean Plaza, I would move if that was my room.
  16. Because one of the perks for Diamonds is free dinner at the Steakhouse
  17. I usually have two Sail Away or Game Time offers, ones where they choose my room and ones where I choose my room but can be a little higher priced. Being assigned a Havana Premium Vista Balcony by Carnival are slim but not impossible you take the chance
  18. Go to Booking Order and Details for your cruise and you will see "Manage Another booking", you will need their booking number and add. Then you can go into Cruise Manager and order it will come up with all your names so choose carefully as I once found out and done
  19. I go online to my Barclay account and once you sign in it will show you how many fun points that you have above that there is a line that reads Rewards and Benefits, if you click on that you can then can choose your OBC/Carnival gift card. I choose a gift card and when it comes in I apply to my cruise. When you get onboard there will be a card in you room showing that it has been applied or you can wait until on the ship and go to guest services and they will apply for you
  20. You can call Carnival Fun shops 1-800-522-7648 prior to the cruise and they will have it waiting in your room for you or go to Guest Services once on board but the truth is we were always throwing so much away and I always order bottled water anyways and use it for the cruise
  21. FYI, 15 drink limit is whether you have a package or not.
  22. Thank You so very much for the great review, we will now be on her Jan 2025 for a two week out of Port Canaveral.
  23. There is no separate players card all is tied to you S & S card which you both receive individually, You certainly can use only one person's card however the issue could arise with a hand pay as they look at the S&S card on the machine and match the ID for the payout. I had this issue with my grandson playing on my card but was ultimately able to resolve
