I just priced out an Alaska 7 day cruise for GF on Royal and Princess w/Balcony Cabin drinks WiFi and tips included Price was 9,000 on Royal with 3,000 in "discounts" vs 3600 on Princess. For sure raising prices. Having sailed on both lines im not sure what kind of consistant experience is worth the 6 grand difference but i do know saving 6 grand will allow you to buy alot of extras.

Anything on board lol. Sorry its Margharitas by the Pitcher.

You just had to say that.......😬

You can also view any photos you may have had taken on it. One extremely important note. ABSOLUTELY MAKE SURE you have the app downloaded BEFORE you get on the ship. It can be a very expensive thing to do after the fact roaming charge wise.

On EVERY cruise line meals are pre-plated even on a luxury ship with only 100 passengers meals are not prepared to order (maybe on a 50 person yacht sailing or the Windstar Cruise you mentioned). They are all mass cooked and prepared ahead of meal times loaded onto large carts and steamed to heat up when required. This is the way with all commercial dining kitchens. Not sure what you mean by variation other than wanting something thats not on the menu but i find that they will try to accomodate your request if you ask but if its mixing and matching selections they will just bring you both selections out and you can eat what you want off each plate on your own. Good that you at least tried the brand and didnt just take others words for yourself. Thank you for sharing your insights.

This is probably a good assumption. Whenever i get these offers if its a balcony and i click on it and it only comes up with interior it means the balconies have sold out already.

I got a notification from Delta when i was in Louisville last week to be there 3 hours prior to my flight to check in and so i did. Woulda been nice if they had sent the same notice to the check in agents.....they didnt arrive until an hour after me.

because they are assigned cabins. You dont get to pick where just what type you want.

im on the Nov 6th TA as well

wondering this too.

What im wondering is HOW do you submit it?? is it a picture? since you dont get a form with a self test unless you have it proctored. Not that it matters to me as im vaxxed im just the curious type lol.

new advisory just out expanding on that

Other than having a single QR code to scan vs multiple different printed forms to carry and show, (possibly misplace) yes very marginal value......But planning to use it for our Celebration Cruise in November so i guess I will see. So far has been fairly easy to use. It does need to catch up to the testing requirements though as that is the last step and isnt required anymore.

Yes as long as the kid in the room with the person who is getting the cheers isnt an adult too.

Saw a person win 2500 on the key game but not on the claw game

Hours (time/activity may vary based on cruise itinerary) Children under the age of 2 are welcome to join Camp Ocean programming and Night Owls during specific times. Hours may vary due to cruise itineraries. Once on board, activity schedules for Camp Ocean are available via the HUB App as well as drop off times for children under 2. During some cruises, Camp Ocean capacity may be limited. Sea Days There are limited times throughout the cruise for ‘Under 2' time. During these times, parents/guardians have the option of leaving their child in the care of the Youth Staff (fees apply: $7.50 USD per hour plus an 18% service charge, per child) – or - they can stay and use the camp facility at no charge. This time is designated for the use of 'Under 2’s' and parents/guardians only. Check on board for specific times offered. Hours may vary due to cruise itineraries. Port Days While in port, parents/guardians have the option of leaving their child in the care of the Youth Staff (fees apply: $7.50 USD per hour plus an 18% service charge, per child), however, we do not provide care during meal times for children 'Under 2'; parents/guardians must return from port at this time.

It must still be a proctored test. Testing is now even less expensive not more expensive given the ability to use any free test and get it proctored by On Point for 15.00 dollars. Its also easier not harder as you can do it online from anywhere such as your hotel room.

Didnt read that in the article is this in reference to some other thing you heard or saw?

Yes except the requirement is still on the Carnival website along with the new protocols

Your correct.

Looks like booster is still required for my Celebration TA in November according to the Website.

I have also used the printed copy when asked for vaccination proof while going through US Customs at the Airport.

I use the same as @d9704011 thats your proof of vaccination for travel. I have it saved on my phone to use for uploading to ArriveCan and Verifly and i print out a copy which ive shown to Carnival at check-in and they have accepted no issues.
