Carnival Glory Transatlantic April18-May 2
Cruise, J.D. replied to BlerkOne's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
An actual chips sighting? 😄 -
In its final years, the Holiday sailed from Mobile, doing Cozumel and either Progreso or Costa Maya runs. We did both itineraries. The Fantasy was in New Orleans in 2009. The 5-day itinerary was likely the same as the Holiday. We did a Coz-Progreso there. The Fantasy moved to Charleston by the summer of 2011. The Glory was in Port Canaveral in 2009, and I think it had been there for a while, but I don't know when it changed ports. We did an Eastern Caribbean to Nassau-St. Thomas-St.Marteen on it in 2009.

Bringing Beer On Board?! Here's an idea
Cruise, J.D. replied to Dave_Nut's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
You can buy a bucket of IPAs at a bar and take it back to your room. -
I don't know about the bathroom except that the line was always very long. We did use the snack shack. We got a bucket of beer and some savory fried pies. They had typical beach bar and grill stuff with a few special items.

Yes, we took the public bus to Arashi. The beach was great. It was beautiful and there was snorkeling equipment available for rent. We saw a lot of fish while snorkeling.

How bad is the noise on connecting cabins?
Cruise, J.D. replied to Velvetwater's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
On the Horizon we could clearly hear the TV and normal conversation. Thankfully our neighbors were reasonable and not loud, but I will never stay in an adjoining cabin again. -
We did experience some of the heat issues (mostly in transitional areas as Hoosierpop pointed out), but it was nothing that would keep us from going on the ship again.
-
Do you know the party in the adjoining cabin? That too would be an issue. We had an adjoining cabin last cruise and I won't do that again.

It's hit or miss at the ports on the enforcement. Last cruise I bought a small bottle in Amber Cove and was told to drop it off at the "table". No one was at the table so I kept walking 😅

One more time… LIVE from the Carnival Liberty 7/11/22

That's got to be a good feeling having an empty ship and knowing that you have another full cruise ahead of you.- 951 replies

Just so I'm clear.. alcohol clarification
Cruise, J.D. replied to JillinCalgary's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The corkage fee in the MDR is $15. I was charged it for the first time on our last cruise. -
We had a good time at Arashi (late June 2022). We took the public bus from Oranjested. The bus terminal was located in a parking lot across the main street that runs along the cruise terminal. It was about $5pp for a roundtrip. We rented 3 chairs and an umbrella for $50, which included free bottled water. Snorkeling equipment was $15 per person or 2 for $20. There was great snorkeling here. I suggest wearing water shoes as there is quite a bit of rocks.

Yeah, it's on the Dream and Breeze too.

If you are in the FQ, you are in one of the must sees. There are a lot of good tours, but you can also do a self-guided walking tour there. Just to name a few places off of the top of my head: Jackson Square, Cafe du Monde and too many other bars and restaurants to mention, Frenchmen Street, take the St Charles Street car line and hop off in the garden district. That should be enough to get you started.

**** CARNIVAL COVID TESTING THREAD #2 **** JANUARY 6, 2002
Cruise, J.D. replied to CeleBrat's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Miami has several free testing options through the county. We did rapid antigen tests at the 17th Street garage in Miami Beach. https://www.miamidade.gov/global/initiatives/coronavirus/testing-locations.page -

Yes, but I haven't done it myself. -
Pizza delivery through the hub app?
Cruise, J.D. replied to tap_out's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
It was available on our last cruise that ended this past Sunday. We almost used it once, but decided to get off our butts for a bit. 😅 However, we did see several deliveries being made. There are lots of options besides pizza. -
First guarantee cabin has been assigned...Mardi Gras
Cruise, J.D. replied to blueskadoo's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
It may not be too bad if under the passenger areas of the Lido buffet. If it is under the galley area, I would be more concerned. -
Port of Miami Parking for Carnival Horizon
Cruise, J.D. replied to TerReuv's topic in Florida Departures
We had a 10am arrival time (earliest time) and got there about 9:30 am and were allowed in to start the check in process. -
Did not try Teppanyaki, but it looked very popular. Always full when open. We did eat at JiJis and Bonsai Sushi and both were very good. The main places where I noticed the uncomfortable heat were near some of the outdoor areas (happens on a lot of ships), JiJis, and a few times in the aft MDR. Sometimes we would notice it just randomly walking through the ship. The only time it became really distracting was at JiJis.
