We are on the same cruise too. I haven't heard anything. We are on our way to Charleston now.

So my son woke up yesterday coughing his little head off. He gets this EVERY year at this time. His cough lasts several weeks. No fever 99.1 when I checked this morning. He has a stuffy/runny nose. I personally think he has allergies and maybe some asthma going on. We are taking him to the dr just to be sure it isn't bronchitis. I'm just so afraid they are going to turn us away! He went to school today because of no fever and he is generally fine... He just sounds gross. No commuting or diarhea either. It could just be a cold for all I know.

If he has no fever bit is coughing and stuffy, will they turn us away? Obviously if he really sick we wouldn't bring him on there but what about just a cold/allergies???

Hello all!

My hubby smokes and he asked me to come on here and find out something.

If you buy cigarettes in the duty free shop on board, can you smoke them on board?

If you buy cigarettes/cigars in port, can you smoke them on board? Do you have to notify the crew that you have them?

How many cartons of cigarettes or cigars is allowed through customs on debarkation?

Thank you!!!!

Do they have life jackets for adults and kids?

Were the drinks unlimited?

We have decided to do this excursion. It is on promo. Should we book now, or can we wait closer to time to look at weather? Im nervous it will sale out. Is this really ever a problem?

Did your like your cabin location? We are sailing on October 1 and our cabins are E168 and E170

How do I find out if there was a price drop. I priced out cruis, same type of room, same floor, etc and it says it's $100 cheaper. How do I get OBC for the difference?

We are going on the Fantasy. I see the age groups are 2 to 5 year old and 8 to 10 or 11. My kids will be 5 and 6 to whatever. (Can't remember upper age.). Would they let my 5 year old be with his 8 year old brother in the next age bracket? I was looking at the activities for both age groups and my 5 year old is going to be bored. He would probably rather stay with his brother and visa versa.

Also. We have two cabins. My in laws paid for 1 of our kids, so that child is listed in their cabin and the other is in ours. Would both kids be able to stay in my in laws cabin for atleast one night? Can you spend the night in other people's rooms?

Also, we are going during hurricane season? Im quite nervous about this. Has anyone been in the Fantasy during a particularly bad storm? How "bad" was it? We are on deck 9, midship.

Sorry. I'm on my phone. I meant FOOD wise. Lol.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll prove those out and see which is best.

Im sorry if this has been covered. I couldn't find any recent posts about this specific hotel.

I'm considering booking Sleep Inn in West Ashley. It's on Savannah Hwy. we are parking at the port so I don't need to cruise and park package. Is this a descent area? Is there anything good wise nearby?

We have decided to park at the port (unless I can find a hotel that does stay and cruise cheaper than $200 for us). Anyone know of a hotel close to port that is descent and $100 or less a night? I'm getting anxious to find one. I don't know anything about the area and I don't want to stay in a bad area.

We have decided not to book an excursion and just to explore. So what is there to do?

We heard about a pirates mueseum and a zoo. Is there any really pretty places to take pictures?

Is the free beach really crowded?

Restaurant Rex's?

Where can I find a website that will tell me how much the attractions cost? We need to know how much to prepare for.

Thanks! We are driving so thankfully, no airport security. We are only 6 hours from Chareleston. 😊

I am a big collector of snow Globes and Chridymas Ornaments. I know I'm going to get an ornament from the Fun Shops, but I don't know where to get a Snow Globe. Do they have them in the Fun Shops? I want one from the Bahamas also, would I be allowed to bring it back on board? Does anyone know a good place to get a snow globe in Freeport or Nassua?

Thanks so much!!!!

I'm still confused how they change CD mid cruise. There is a change on the Fantasy on 10/03. We are on that cruise and the cruise leaves 10/01.

I'm trying to get some info on a few excursions, but when I call and enter my number selection, nothing happens. I don't get transferred. I don't hear music, it doesn't hang up. I sat there for nearly 5 minutes listening to dead air. I tried three times.

I'm also trying to post in the forums on their website but when I go to do so, there is a blank screen. No reply button on posts either. I've been trying to months and every time it's the same. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry, the dolphin encounter is in Nassua.

Family Beach Break or the All-Inclusive Beach Break in Freeport. It doesn't say which beach they take you to.

Private Island Dolphin Encounter and Beach Day or private island Dolphin SWIM and Beach Day. What's the difference? Besides $30 a person...

Any suggestions on other excursions that may be up our alley? We are nervous about booking a private excursion. We like the cruise line garantee

I'm trying to find a good Deal. The only place I can find with round trip shuttle service is the Hampton inn for $140.

Where do you all recommend? We will be a party of 6 so so don't think a cab would work.

Hi everyone! I'm back! I've posted a couple of times and I got several helpful responses. I had asked about documents needed for traveling with my dog to the Bahamas.

I was given the advice that I needed an import form on top of shot records and USDA health certificate.

My travel agent just called me today and told me that all I needed to travel with my Guide, is 1 year rabies proof, USDA approved health certificate, ID for me and my Guide, and that Carnival has a form that I need to fill out ahead of time and sendBack. She is sending that form to me as soon as she gets it.

Does this seem correct? I specifically asked about an import form or if I needed to contact the Bahamas ahead of time for any reason and she said no. I hate to ask the same question repeatedly, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Thank you all for your help!!! 😊

This is our first cruise. We are traveling in two cabins with my husband, two kids 5 and 8, my Mil and My SIl. What exactly does it do? Do we need it?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

We are in E168. It's mif ship, close to Midship elevators. I'm hoping since the atrium is further forward, the elevators won't have as much traffic. My in laws are in E170.

It says there is a change of CDs on Oct 3 on the Fantasy. That is mid cruise... We leave OCT 1st. Would they do that???

Hi all! We are going to Freeport and Nassua in early OCT. We will be traveling with 4 adults and an 8yo and 5yo.

I know we want to spend some time on the beach (doesn't matter which port, or even both). We are ok with snorkeling but Neither boy knows how to swim. Site seeing might be cool. Safety is a top priority.

I'm nervous to book a private excursition because I don't want to miss the boat! Lol. But I'm open to it.

I'm overwhelmed by all the things you can do. Help please!!!?
