Awesome! thanks, everyone! just booked an ocean suite for us! We're soooo excited! :)

Roscoe, I am glad you posted bc I didnt realize we would have to request a table for 2 on our upcoming cruise. I too get sick just from flour dust and the teeniest cross-contamination. So i will be sure to keep in mind to get assigned seating and a table for just my daughter and myself. And my daughter even offered to eat gluten free with me just to be sure she doesn't contaminate me with her hands touching anything in our cabin. :) true love.

I have celiac, and will be cruising on 2 different trips next year.... based on everything i've read (google outside this website too and you will find some useful blogs from people who have cruised with CC with celiac).... I cruised on NCL with no problems at all, following the same guidelines that CC has. I understand that CC is a haven for people with food allergies/issues. I followed all the steps I needed to for NCL and will for CC.... alerting them well in advance of my dietary restrictions and needs, always ordering my meals the day before, and always making sure the maitre'd knew where i was so he could make sure all was well. you're going to have a great cruise! :)

Hi all... I'm trying to decide between a balcony (any of them) and a suite (junior or ocean).... in your opinion has it been worth it for you to upgrade to a suite from a balcony cabin? i'm taking my daughter next year for her 30th bday and would love for it to be special. i would love to hear your experiences. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! :)

and while i'm asking... what about the difference in going all the way to an ocean suite? have you done one and is it as awesome as it seems?

Hey all.... am trying to decide between these 2 categories. Seems the only reviews I am finding about a junior suite are older, before the renovations... Any suggestions or reviews from someone who was onboard recently? Thanks so much!

Thank you all for your really great points. I have so much to consider!

I so appreciate all of your replies. Our airfare is tending cheapest to Orlando, and with the remarks about Miami I think I just may strike that from the running. I will however look into Fort Lauderdale. Thanks again! and I appreciate the info about the cruises pretty much being set 8 months out. I guess I'm making my plans now! Have a great day everyone! :)

Hi all.... I've cruised a few times but always from NY. I am planning a cruise with my daughter to celebrate her 30th birthday next year. She will fly from the Midwest and I am in NY.... It seems that NY departures are few and far between.... so am considering leaving from Miami or Port Canaveral. Any advice on which port is less hectic? We want to go next May through September, date up in the air. Also... it's tempting to book now but how long do most people wait before choosing? I don't want to miss out on a great cruise that isn't available now. I've cruised on NCL and Carnival (many years ago) and will probably be choosing Carnival bc the prices look better. Advice? thanks so much!
