What worries me:

• Will it be smokey? What’s the balcony smoking policy? Where is the casino? 

No smoking on balconies. Casino is on deck 7, mid-ship. Most of the ships we've been on the casinos have been smoky. Maybe being a brand new ship the ventilation in the casino will be improved. (Hope, hope, hope)

I'm getting old, lol. The correct name is the Ocean Plaza and it is on Deck 5.

Yes, LOL. I'm also in the Senior category.  🙂

I believe it is deck 5. Right outside the Red Frog Pub. (Aft).   

OK, got it. On the Deck Plan it's labeled as Ocean Plaza, between the Red Frog Pub and the Taste Bar. Thanks for the quick reply.  🙂

The Ocean Galley area is really enjoyable, they also serve a light breakfast in the mornings. 

 

Where is the Ocean Galley?

Serenity is different from the other ships we have visited.  It is spread out over a couple of floors.  There is no elevator to the upper level.

Deck plans show 2 elevators from deck 12 to deck 14 forward which is the Serenity area.

Looking at the deck plan, it looks like there is a lifeboat above 2310.

We too, are Cove fans. We like being close to the water, having shade and watching the flying fish as we come into ports. And we choose cabins away from the galley . We usually get one below the forward part of the MDR.

Bucket is 4 beers and $2 less than 4 beers bought individually.

You will debark, go through Customs and return to the ship for a group photo and complementary Mimosas.

Look carefully in this picture I found on line. Follow the rows of blue neon... You can click on the picture and it enlarges. There is one beer tap that I am assuming is Thirsty Frog Red.

Yes, I see what you are talking about. We had a table for 2 at the rail above that area. We only saw the wait staff getting drinks from that area.

I don't see it on the Visa deck plan.

not plastic water bottles,which they might have referring to. 

I have brought an empty plastic Coke bottle on many of my 47 cruises. It is always in my carry-on and it has never been questioned. I use it to make a bottle of Crystal Light Classic Orange.

Happy to hear some positives about the Family Harbour area! I will be on with 3 kids in March and was starting to think I had made a huge mistake with all the complaints about the noise from the galley above. Did you find this to be a problem, or were you far enough aft that it was dining room above you?

Their cabin was 2497 - aft balcony. It is below the aft dining room.

Is it possible to get credit for price drop after final payment?

Yes, if you booked Early Saver.

We are Cove fans also -- just not under the Galley.

Huh?  Luggage tags don't have anything to do with muster stations.

 

Then, could it different locations for luggage to be loaded on the ship?

Upcoming cruise on Legend our tags are red and next door cabin friends have green. We are both forward of the forward elevators

That probably means you are in different Muster Stations.

Like your screen name. We are SS instructors. Keeps us in shape to keep cruising Carnival -- 47 currently and 48 and 49 next month.  🙂

Looking at cruisedeckplans.com, the Ol' Fashion BBQ is shown on deck 10 above the aft portion of the Lido Buffet -- used to be the Fish and Chips.

The Steakhouse is also on Deck 10 forward of the BBQ,

While I do know that they are, the evidence to date from other mega liners is that the logistics just do not work.  It simply takes to long to get 6000+ cruisers on and off via tenders.

Thanks.

I realize tender ports are out.  

Why are tender ports out?

Thanks. Fingers crossed for someone changing their mind.  🙂

No they don't.
