What if the Zone Codes are really luggage loading codes?

Which room on the carnival sunshine is quieter.6337 or 7331.I know the casino is deck 6 and concerned about noise.

Both of those cabins are at the rear of the ship and there are cabins above and below both. Casino is deck 5 mid-ship, so I don't think you would hear any noise from the casino.

As are the aft hot tubs.

Agree.  🙂

Are there any extended balcony videos? Thanks 

Looks like there is one for 7260 on cruisedeckplans,com. (Note that 7260 is an "accessible" cabin.) For example, 7258 is laid out like all the balcony cabins. However, its balcony is 3 times longer than the standard balcony and 2 feet deeper.

- Do they have a Punchliner brunch on this ship? I read about it somewhere online but not sure.- YES!!!!

Wrong -- There is a Sea Day Brunch in one of the Main Dining Rooms.

 

Aft pool is adult only.  🙂

"REALLY"

Yes, really. Leaving your balcony door open has a negative impact on other cabins.

Been discussed here many times.

Looking at CruiseDeckPlans dot com, Galley could be on deck 4 all the way aft. The Palms dining room is aft on deck 5 and 6.

Both of you provide good points!  Our kids are teens.  I'd just like to sit on it and have coffee in the morning or sleep with the door open.  

You can't leave the door open. It can cause a problem with your A/C as well as other cabins A/C around you.

It shows I am red when I booked. Should my wife be red too and will both daughters get a blue card? Reason I ask is we are planning on taking 3-4 cruises a year with me and my wife. 

Yes

If we reach higher levels do the kids get their own VIFP number and status? Example if we are platinum and they are red and they are booked in our room would they get to enjoy the same perks as us being platinum and be issues a platinum card? Same as when we are gold.

Your children will be Blue on their first cruise, Red on their second, etc. If you reach Platinum, they will not get Platinum cards and will not get Platinum perks.

Did you mean U74? U72 is an inside cabin.

Looking forward to our upcoming B2B on the Legend in January. We too enjoy the Serenity area because we can find seats in the shade.  🙂

Not sure that's true. I've used FTTF a number of times and always cut up to the front of the buffet line. 

I think you have broken in line. We are Diamond and have waited in line at the buffet. No priority for Platinum or Diamond and no priority for FTTFs.

Awesome review, but wait... You said "I’ll give the MDR a chance, especially on a ship like the Vista where you can experience the specialty restaurants for no charge at lunch."  I've never heard this before.  We're sailing on Panorama this winter and have been heming and hawing about booking the Steakhouse for one night (mostly just not sure what night we want it), but if they're available for lunch maybe we'll just go then and enjoy the MDR each night 

Steakhouse is NOT available for lunch. However, they are sometimes open for a sample preview of some of their dishes which could well be considered as a lunch. Spaces are limited and only available on Day 1.

We always go to Majujual to get away from the crowding at the port. Lots of nice restaurants on the beach and cheap taxi from the port -- last time it was $3 going and $2 returning per person.

You didn't make a mistake, the area on Deck 10 is accessible via elevator. The atrium elevators and those immediately behind them all go to 10. Then one needs to go outside and to the aft. Works like magic.

 

.

Thank you. I was thinking there were elevators at the rear of the Lido. Forgot you could go forward to get to deck 10 and then go aft. Thanks for reminding me.

No elevator. My mistake,

I wasn't impressed by it. It was ok, but my food was cool. We have another trip on the Glory next spring. I may give it another try before I decide it is not worth climbing the stairs for.

There is an elevator.

Good news. Enjoy,  🙂

  duh, of course, misspoke, sorry

 

The picture above the ship is heading north and they were seated on the port side, correct?

Yes and it is a fantastic pic.  🙂

Really depends in which direction the ship is heading and where you are sitting. generally sunset is around 6:30 in the Caribbean. Obviously if the ship is headed east, the sun will be on the bow. 

If the ship is sailing East at sunset, wouldn't the sun be setting West and the view would be from the Aft of the ship?

No if , ands or buts for us, HMC is much better then Princess Cay. Don't know what Princess serves for lunch buffet since we were on a Carnival ship for our stop.
