When is your cruise? For what it's worth, it seems Carnival mostly uses terminal 3 and NCL uses terminal 2. They are close together (walking distance) so you might very well be able to get one of the porters to assist you (with a good tip). I can't imagine any taxi or other transport making that short drive.

Would you rather pay the extra cost flying in the day before or lose the cost of the entire cruise if for some unforeseen delay in the flights cause you not make the ships departure?

For what it's worth, I agree with most of what you say in your review. We were disappointed with a lot of things also after being so excited to sail on her. For the record, we have been on 20 cruises, and most were on Carnival, so we do have experience with them. We actually prefer Carnival over Disney by the way.

Christmas week and Easter week are the two busiest of the year at WDW. You also need reservations to get in the parks now. While that may change, keep it in mind. They will still sell you tickets but, even then will stop you at the park gate. Recent news article about just that happening to some folks. A friend of mine wanted res for Epcot and best he could get a couple of weeks ago was for mid-April.

Conquest is doing 4 day cruises and it is spring break so imagine some young male (most likely) probably drunk thought this would be funny thing to do.  I hope they find who did it and ban them from ever getting aboard another Carnival cruise.  Not funny indeed.

Why most likely a young male? Drunk women do stupid crap too.

I just looked at that - does it have a $2,500 spend limit (upon which you can earn rewards) per quarter?

 

Tom

If they do it's news to me, I've gone over that amount multiple times, including this month.

Bank of America has 1%, 2% and 3% categories, allows you to choose which cat gets the best return and allows you to change your categories once per month. So when you know you have travel coming up just select that cat beforehand. I don't pay a yearly fee either.

Just because some people may pay more it doesn't necessarily make them more considerate. Just saying. Jerks are jerks no matter how much money they may have.

Some years ago (can"t actually remember the year) we were on a Caribbean cruise, there were many that brought bikes aboard and used them at each stop. It might have been a club? Point is, they were allowed, and no, they did not fold up. Check with your cruise line to get up to date info.

Just off MG, listed passenger capacity is 5284, at check in we were told there were 5000 folks to check in so I would call that full.

I think it depends on who is doing security. I had a small vise grip that I used to take everywhere, including many cruises. On the pride back in Dec. the guy at the x-ray in security made me remove the tool and dispose of it. He claimed I could use it to disable the ship. I asked him how the hell could I disable that big ship with a 3-and a half inch vise grip and if that was possible perhaps the ship is not built very well to start with. 😮

Not that it changes anything Capt but I've seen Liberty at T-3 as well as MG.

Could be just for more wind reduction/protection.

To each their own. I've never seen a shopping area (no matter how nice) that I would pay to go walk around.😉😄

NCL tends to use terminal 10 but I have seen them use others, mainly 5 or 6.

With those as my options it's KSC hands down. Too long a ride to Disney and as mentioned, waiting in long lines most of the time.

But on this cruise they didn't have any to give out!! Lots of very annoyed people!

They are/have experienced supply chain issues just like many other companies. Not much they can do about it. Same situation on the Pride back in early Dec. Oh well, we survived.

Are the lanes well marked so we can pay cash on the toll road from MCO to Port Canaveral hotel.

Yes

I can't say for sure but I don't think it applies to a cruise that is already booked, only applies to a new booking.

We always just showed up in person and requested a table for however many was in our group. They would try to seat us right away if possible or they would let us know how long the wait was. We always tried to meet up at times when it wouldn’t be too busy. 

In Dec on the Pride for ATD they wouldn't let us just show up, we were told we had to request seating via the app and we were right outside the dining room. PIA.

All those folks must have been a figment of my imagination. 😄

I don't know what the % was but our cruise on the Pride back in Dec sure seemed close to full.

One of our MDR waiters told us he loves the work and had been working on cruise ships for over 20 years. Leads me to believe it may not be as bad as some folks seem to think.

Most bars can make any drink, as long as they have the recipe and the ingredients.  

There's the rub. Back in Dec on the Pride there were several times at different bars where they did not have the type of alcohol needed to make certain drinks. However, we survived.🤣

I don't always declare mine, never been a problem.
