Does anyone know what table games they have on Rotterdam?  Pai Gow?  Let it ride?

Confirmation of checkin says cabin availability for all levels including Diamond will be at 1:30.  Says last on board 4. Sails 5pm.

Hi having a lot of trouble with booking excursions because shopping cart disappeared.  Can put into shopping crt but then no cart to pay. Have talked to carnival several times.  Cant seem to figure out problem But they did go ahead and upgrade our room to  special balcony room off the back in deck 8. Bigger room and bigger balcony. But worried bout the serenity noise right above. Anyone have experience on deck chair hove noise?

Cool thanks so much 

Thank you so much. One more question if you know, when we booked room we were not told it was handicapped. And all discussions say only two handicaps are on 6 th floor but in my reservation next to my room number is now a handicap symbol.  Any knowledge if this 8001 is or is not handicapped?

Please explain secret door comment. We are booked for 8001 but was told by on line Viking chat that there was no access to lounge from 8 th floor which was very disappointing

Internet on Sunshine was quite good but we embarked in the eastern United states so can’t attest to the pacific or the Luminosa.  Did have to buy the best expensive package. And can only be on one device at a time so can’t use your cell phone no t let together.

On another note, the cruise embarkation day 1st April is also Easter Monday. There are four days in a row of public holidays for Easter, from Good Friday to Easter Monday.  Also, the last day of the Queensland school term is the previous Thursday 28th March, so Easter is also the start of school holidays. 
So, beaches and family holiday spots may be busier, some places may be closed for the holidays, some prices may be different (public holiday surcharges in some restaurants for instance) and public transport will be running to a reduced timetable.

Just FYI for anyone making pre-cruise travel plans.

We were able to book hotels 4 star through Expedia under $150 per night but question, if school holiday should we expect kids on board?  We booked this time of year and crossing presuming no kids.

We’re booked. Casino invite. Balcony room. 7th deck. Rick and Carole Wagner live in Raleigh NC

We just booked United from Rleigh nc to sfo then 1 1/2 he change time in sfo to Brisbane.

I would recommend staying at the nearby suburb of Hamilton. It contains a range of accommodation styles. Hamilton is convenient to both the airport and the cruise terminal. It is a riverside location, and you can easily get into the city centre by bus or ferry if you want to do some pre-cruise independent touring. There are also lots of places to eat nearby in Racecourse Rd or by the river. Cruise ships used to pull up in Hamilton which was really handy, but the new cruise terminal is out at Luggage Point near the mouth of the river in an industrial area.

 

Delta don't fly into Brisbane. Direct flights to Brisbane from the USA are currently Qantas (from LAX) or United (from SFO). Of course there are other routes, but they involve stops between the USA and Brisbane. I guess it really depends on what you prefer. I believe that Delta flies to Sydney.

I have never flown across the Pacific myself, so I can't personally recommend any particular airline.

4197 is between lifeboats so your view out is better    The doors have been replaced   

Thanks. I thought that was the case being between so picked that one over some others

The French doors have been replaced by floor to ceiling windows.  EM

Damn

So you stayed in 4197 carnival legend. Did French doors actually open?  Was there some view?  Have read bad comments that crew snuck out there to smoke - is that true? Could you smell it?

Thank you so much
