  1. https://carnival-news.com/2017/12/14/carnival-fascination-to-undergo-multi-million-dollar-dry-dock-prior-to-resuming-year-round-service-from-san-juan-in-february-2018/

     

    Carnival Fascination will undergo an extensive multi-million-dollar dry dock that will add a variety of popular food and beverage innovations, including Guy’s Burger Joint developed by Food Network star Guy Fieri, the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina Mexican eatery, Cherry on Top sweets shop, the poolside RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar, and a Bonsai Sushi Express venue.

  2. That's from the Australian Royal site, the US site doesn't mention a weight or limit to baggage. I've been on repo cruises and people have brought on way more than 200 pounds per person.

  3. It was not there 10 minutes ago. I even logged into My Cruises and put in my Booking ID and Symphony was not a choice so it could not be added to my current cruises. Maybe by tomorrow it will be up and running.

    Click on Symphony on the left hand side under Oasis ships. The in will bring up all of here sailings. I had to use Firefox, safari and Chrome would allow me to complete a search

  4. I'm a little confused. I was just looking around at the UK and the US sites for RC to check availability and I see a listing on the UK site that isn't offered on the US site. This is for Oct. 2017, on Rhapsody. I see a 10/21 cruise on the UK site, but I don't see it listed on the US site at all. What am I missing here?

    It's listed with the 10/7/2017 cruise

  5. To set up your account you need one of the following

     

    https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1138/related/1

     

    The following forms of payment are accepted to open a Sail & Sign account: Cash / Traveler's Checks / Credit Cards / Debit Cards

     

    This is info on check cashing

     

    Check Cashing

     

    Guests may use their personal checks on board to acquire a cash advance at the Casino Cashier's Window. Global Cash Access (GCA) provides this service by debiting the guest's checking account, using the account number on the check. The guest must have available monies in the checking account that the check is drawn on.

     

    Important Note: Just like debit cards, the monies are immediately debited from the guest's checking account.

     

    For this service, GCA charges 5.5% of the value of the cash advance requested or a flat fee of $5.50 if the amount requested is $100 or less.

    Since the guest's checking account is debited (same as if using a debit card), the personal check is returned to the guest.

    Limits are determined by the available monies currently available in the guest's checking account.

    We do not accept Cashier's Checks, Bank Checks nor Money Orders.

  6. They told me the actual name had nothing to do with it. Customs may not allow you in if it is not exactly the way it is on your passport. It's not Carnival, it's customs. We called back and spoke to someone different and were told the same thing. It was not worth arguing over $50 to possibly have an elderly person get all caught up in customs (or anyone for that matter). We paid it and moved on with our life and had a great cruise.

    This is their policy, sadly most Reps aren't up to speed. That's why I hate calling them.

  8. This is what Carnival did last year, it mentions what's different for Legend and Spirit sailings

     

     

    With a festive on-board atmosphere, elaborate decorations and an array of traditional cuisine, entertainment and activities, Carnival’s ‘Fun Ship’ holiday cruises are the ideal option for reconnecting with friends, families and loved ones. A festive mood is created as soon as you arrive on board, with the ship’s atrium and promenade areas lavishly decorated in the spirit of the season.

     

    The Spirit of the Season Atrium Moments is made up of two magical evenings (three on select ships) filled with holiday fun:

     

    Spirit of the Season – Tree Lighting

    Tis the season for traditions, loved ones and fun-filled celebrations. Gather your friends and family for our traditional holiday kick off, the lighting of the Christmas tree in the atrium lobby.

     

    This event takes place on the first evening of the cruise. Hosted by the Cruise Director, a magical moment where the grand Christmas tree will be lit with spectacular lights and synchronized with wonderful, heartwarming holiday music.

     

    What are you wishing for? A football? A pony? More fun vacations? Now's the time to let Santa know! Write out a special message for Santa and drop it in the North Pole mailbox located in the atrium lobby (on all ships) .. and some letters will be read on our live Morning Show.

     

    Spirit of the Season – Let it Snow!

    Celebrate the magic of the season with our very own Christmas Carol-infused winter wonderland. Sing-a-long to holiday classics and let it snow. Be on time, the snow melts fast! Due to the atrium décor, the event will take place without snow on the Carnival Breeze, Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Vista.

     

    Spirit of the Season – ‘Tis the Season

    Put on your most festive ugly sweater, warm up those vocal chords and gather around to help us welcome the very jolly Santa Claus himself!

     

    Hosted by the Cruise Director and together with the children from Camp Carnival and Camp Ocean, we celebrate the spirit of the holiday season as we combine holiday magic with a little Carnival fun! Guests of all ages are encouraged to bring their ugliest Christmas sweater for this fun competition. And then it’s time to shake your bells and make cheerful noise to welcome in Santa Claus as he makes his way down the glass atrium elevator.

     

    On the Carnival Legend and Carnival Spirit, there will be a crazy, festive holiday hat competion instead of the ugly sweater contest.

     

    Christmas Service

    Join us for a special non-denominational Christmas service as we celebrate the season with warm stories, uplifting hymns and prayer. This service will take place on December 24th or December 25th (depending on your ship's itinerary; day, time and location will be listed in the daily Fun Times newsletter).

     

    Holiday Show

    A magical show that’s sure to make your heart grow three sizes, with singers, dancers, a special performance by the kids and a surprise guest from the North Pole!

     

    A highlight of the cruise, this wonderful spectacular show in the main show lounge evokes a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere with its cozy set featuring a faux oversized fireplace, comfy cushions and throws, a Christmas tree with decorations created by the children from Camp Carnival and Camp Ocean, and of course, a visit from Santa. And be on the look-out for the iconic and beloved Dr. Seuss character, The Grinch!

     

    A Special Christmas Guest

    All of us here like Christmas a lot.

    But there’s someone on board who surely does not!

    He’s mean and he’s green, he’s quick and so slick.

    Try to spot him playing one of his tricks!

     

    The Grinch appeals to guests of all ages, those young and young at heart. His story is a heartwarming journey of how the vengeful Grinch learns the true meaning of the holiday season, thus triggering a powerful transformation of his character as he grows his heart 3 sizes. The Grinch will make surprise appearances throughout the cruise.

     

    Holiday Movies

    Popular holiday-themed movies are shown on stateroom televisions as well as seasonal holiday music. Additional holiday movies will be shown in Camp Carnival, Camp Ocean and ships that feature the Carnival Seaside Theater.

     

    Holiday Arts and Crafts

    Feeling a little crafty? Join us for a fun and festive arts and crafts session and create a beautiful Holiday souvenir to take home.

     

    Christmas Dinner

    The holiday menu features the traditional oven roasted turkey with all the trimmings and freshly baked pumpkin pie, among other selections.

     

    Religious Services

    If a clergyman of any faith wishes to perform a religious service, it is on a ‘volunteer basis’ only. To learn more about our clergy policy, click here. For those ships docked in port on Christmas Day, the Guest Service Staff can provide you with a list of local churches that are conducting services.

     

    Holiday Decorations |Spirit of the Season Atrium Moments |Holiday Show

    Public areas throughout our fleet are adorned with oversized Christmas trees, wreaths, lights, mistletoe and other traditional touches including a red mailbox for children to send a letter to Santa.
