  1. Sailing Carnival Liberty in GS next month. Would like to place something outside of the door to help my father who has low vision recognize his room. I know Carnival's policy on decorations (flame retardant).

     

    Q? : Are these doors metal (able to use magnets) OR Are they Wooden OR Have some type of material cover on them?

     

    I think ships may vary, so I'd like to know specifically for anyone who was on the Liberty if they can recall. Maybe they even decorated or had the steward decorate the door.

     

    Appreciate your feedback. Always enjoy hearing others ideas too!! ;):ship:(y):ship::ship:

  2. On the Breeze in June on Deck 2, we found the temperature to be OK but the humidity higher than what we have in our house. We set the thermostat to the lowest setting. Normally we keep our AC in the house about 75 in the day and 72 at night. We were comfortable but glad we had a fan to move the air a little more (we have ceiling fans and like having the air move a bit). The only time we found it uncomfortably warm was on the way north when the sun was on the port side of the ship in the afternoon/evening.

     

    Did you bring your own fan or ask the cabin steward for one?

  3. YOU SAID: Well, yes and no. Rather than circulate vast amounts of refrigerant around the ship, the ship has very large compressor units in the engine room, and the refrigerant from these cools a "chilled water" system of fresh water to about 40-45*F and then this water is circulated around the ship. Your cabin will receive 20% of its volume in fresh outside air every hour, and this air is cooled in large air handlers that supply a whole bank of cabins with their fresh air. The temperature control in the room controls a fan cooler, which recirculates 80% of the cabin's volume every hour, and passes it over a cooling coil cooled by the chilled water. The thermostat controls whether the water passes through the cooler or not.

     

    Question: You seem to understand the cooling system well. Would you happen to know if the cooling works better on certain decks based on this blower system? I will be on deck 7(Empress), but my friends on deck 2 (Main). Would the lower decks (1 and 2) receive better cooling/circulation as they are probably closer to the cooling system? Will higher decks 7-8 receive cooled, but not as cool air due to the length of traveling to those areas?

     

    Thanks!

  4. I'm sailing to Nassau/Freeport in Sept. on the Liberty. I was looking at 2 websites with menus online (Menu1 and Menu2 ) and noticed there is something called a FEAST 1 and FEAST 2.

     

    Anyone know what this refers to? Is there a special feast somewhere?

     

    Also, are these menus for everyday or only for the night where everyone is suppose to dress fancy?

    p.s. How fancy are we talking... ball gown, sundress, suite -tie-jacket, slacks and polo??

     

    This is my 1st time and I want to be prepared. Sooo excited!! :ship::D:D:D
