Mediterranean Odyssey cruise questions re: Barcelona. We have a Viking pre-extension in Barcelona for 2 nights (9/12-9/13/2024) before we go to the ship for one night (9/14) and set sail the 2nd night (9/15).
*How does the transfer to the ship in Barcelona work?
*How much time in Barcelona will we have on the transfer day (9/14)? Do we transfer in the morning or afternoon?*How far away is the cruise terminal? Is there other port options from Barcelona?
*For those who have done the Mediterranean Odyssey Cruise with the Barcelona pre-extension, how did you schedule your time there? Are there Viking excursions you would recommend? What sites and activities would we be best to schedule on our own? If so, links?
TIA! 💃 -
Hi. I see that the social Wi-Fi package price I purchased at $4.29/day has been reduced to $4/day. Does anyone know how I can get the difference refunded? Or do I have to cancel my 1st purchase and rebuy it at the new price?

How about shoes for men on Elegant night? Can my husband wear his "dressy" (black leather, I think) converse sneakers? Or will he be turned away?

Can I purchase 2 Social media packages - 1 for my husband and one for me? When I started to purchase, it assumed I wanted one for our booking #.

I just found the answer. Yes, we can. And it automatically came up with both our names once I was SIGNED in... LOL! Didn't realize I wasn't.

We last sailed Carnival in September 1981 on our honeymoon. I was able to get credit for myself, but not my husband (go figure!). I have a dated Carnival picture of us as we boarded which I sent to our Carnival PVP, who ignored my email ([emoji15]). Bringing the photo and DH of 35 1/2 years on our July Magic cruise and hope to get it settled on board. Funny in a surreal sort of way...

I remember reading on another post about a woman leaving the ship with a piece of banana bread who was stopped by Port security with a dog that sniffed out her banana bread "contraband." She was totally embarrassed.

Whenever we fly to Florida we fly Spirit from Atlantic City because of convenience. I am not a fan, but with relatives in Florida, it is an easier flight than driving to Philly. We've never had a horrible experience, just find their policies annoying. We belong to their $9 club and credit card, so have been able to get flights on points and reduced bag fees. However, their baggage policies are beyond annoying. Your checked bag cannot be more than 40lbs, compared to everyone else's 50lbs. Carry on personal item size was recently reduced so the rolling bag I purchased because it fit their requirement, no longer is an option. We never do, but if you want to fly with a carry on bag and your free personal item, you pay, pay, pay for that carry on bag. We have reserved flights with them in JuJuly for our cruise... Hoping no staffing issues by then (thought that was over?).
As long as they are reliable (no staffing issues) and you can fly within their restrictive baggage policies, we have not had any problems. Just minor annoyances.

I don't have experience with either ship you are looking at, but you mentioned that one is a smaller ship. Some prefer the smaller ships. I do. Since the itinerary is the same, perhaps the merits of the two different sized ships is what you could look at as you decide.

If you Enjoy time on your own balcony and a wider view, definitely go for it. We love aft balconies.

My July cruise FTTF opened up at 3pm at 53 days out. In Another post, the poster said theirs opened at 55 days out. Just keep checking multiple times a day.

My magic cruise in July just opened more fttf slots at 53 days out. I read another comment where they opened at 55 days. Maybe the 50s will be your magic number, too.

Thank you. I loved that you kept your review positive, even though there were a few things that could have been improved. Your review is very helpful and I hope our upcoming Magic cruise July 8th is as much fun as yours was.

The Hub app doesn't have anything to do with basic internet access. In fact, you can use most of the Hub app's features without even purchasing one of the internet plans. Features like deck plans, Fun Times activities & shows, access to your S&S account, etc. If you want to use the chat feature of the Hub app, you have to pay a $5 fee that covers the entire cruise. That chat feature is only for communicating between passengers using the Hub app itself and everyone who wants to use chat has to pay the $5 fee.
As far as the Social plan, more than one person can access the internet with one purchased plan, but everyone else has to be logged off. So in your case, only one of you will be able to log into facebook at a time. If your husband wants to use the same Social plan, you have to log out of the plan first, then he can log in and access his facebook.
Thank you! That is very helpful.

I have owned a business during my working life. Simply put, if I can not trust my staff, then I've hired the wrong people.
When you don't know a person's specific situation, please don't judge others by yours and I won't judge your situation by mine.
I aked a specific questions about the social media package, which as you have said would never apply to you, so there is no need to respond just to be snarky.
To others reading this, please excuse my own snarkiness it is not directed toward you.

Meh.
I do not schlep the laptop with me, and the phone is locked in the safe for the duration of the cruise as soon as we get to the cabin.
Cruising = "Off the grid."
Unfortunately, when you own a small business and leave family at home, some contact is necessary. Everyone's situation is different. You're lucky you can turn it all off.

Carnival Social Package question. DH and I just need one social package to keep in touch with our business and son. If we both sign into the same Facebook account from each of our devices, this should work, correct? Or would we have to sign into the same account on the HUB app? Is there any reason this wouldn't work? I don't want to pay double if we can just share for the duration of the cruise.

Is there a specific website that shows all last minute cruise options?

Have you tried looking at other cruise lines out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale? Either port can be accessed if you fly into Miami.
