Purchasing a bottle for the room....worth it?
PrettyPenny7 replied to rexy69's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Oh wow :( welp... I rescind my statement. -
Yes. It's what I always use when traveling solo :)

It's nice to be able to board early, and not have to lug your bags around. Experience will vary by ship. Got FTTF on my 1st Victory cruise last October, and yes getting to the food before there were huge lines was nice. Luggage delivery was an absolute fail on that particular voyage, however; my sister and I had to go hunting for the cart that had our luggage AFTER the muster, AFTER we ate dinner!:rolleyes: Many people were fed up and were out there trying to get their luggage. A snafu happened somewhere, who knows.... Most recent cruise was a weekend on the Imagination this February. I didn't get FTTF for this one. I could fit everything into my carry-on rolling luggage, and as luck would also have it, there were not a lot of Diamond or Platinum cruisers on this trip, so I just boarded right after the other FTTF people and still didn't wait in line for food. And as soon as my room was ready, I just walked there with my stuff. I am doing a B2B this October on the Victory; I might get FTTF for the 1st leg of the trip since my family did. I will be solo on the 2nd leg, and probably won't mind waiting to re-board the ship.

Sorry, I re-read the question. Ignore me lol

If you hang out in the casino or in Serenity, you might easily meet a few people. I am not much of a gambler, but I love Serenity and my last cruise I met a lot of other solos just hanging out in the jacuzzi.:)

Buying the package during the cruise, instead of beforehand... so paying a little less since I will only use for the last night or last 2 nights. -
What is the first food you look forward to?
PrettyPenny7 replied to crusinpsychRN's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thank you, kindred spirit! ;) And yes, those shrimp tacos were AMAZING. Wish I had been smart enough to try them when I 1st boarded my last cruise... didn't try them until lunch the next day:( -

In my case, I am doing a B2B in October and would rather not leave the port in search of a bottle of wine to bring on the next cruise. So I am considering doing the CHEERS! package for part of the 1st cruise, drinking, buying the wine and taking it off the ship with me.... to take on the next ship later that day. Not set in stone though... I could still utilize this plan without the CHEERS! package :D -
Anyone tried to bring a DVR on vista?
PrettyPenny7 replied to May1cruiser's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I mean... what SHOULD one be doing on a cruise, in order to justify the cost? Is laying in the sun drinking margaritas all day not a reasonable choice on a cruise, simply because I can do that at home on my deck on a Saturday? :rolleyes: -

I never would've thought to bother with a CHEERS! package before today... look at all this great info! I assumed the steakhouse bar was only for the patrons dining there... I am absolutely gonna post up in there in October! :') -

PrettyPenny7 replied to crusinpsychRN's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I live in Indiana so I am always looking forward to fresh seafood! ;pI am that greedy person who gets 2 apps and 2 entrees. I don't need dessert, I need clams, shrimp, crab, octopus, ceviche... ;p -

Absolutely... just like we ALL only consume liquor we paid for on the ship :evilsmile: -
