    Yes. Multiple times- at Galveston and at Long Beach.

    Eh, not really. They often will just bring their dogs onboard and if they stop at a particular cabin, the cruise line has to permit the locals entry.

    I hope so. I really want to see more unique journeys that don't just hit Cozumel/Belize/Costa Maya or Ensenada/PV/Catalina on the other side. Smaller ships allow for much more unique itineraries that I would much rather spend my money on.

    I feel like Cruise with Ben and David did a similar route on either the Mardi Gras or Celebration and seemed to have an excellent time. Either way, they are both new ships and you'll find a diverse mix of folks onboard. I've never had a bad time on a Carnival cruise 🙂

    I'm wondering if he's giving a heads up since it might cause some extra noise and wants folks with balconies to not be surprised if there is suddenly a very close up view of the lock walls at 6am?

    If you do, have a great time!

    Could you request an accessible cabin and note the need, or call their special needs department and request a room that ensures what you need?

    Mind clarifying what you're talking about?

    I appreciate you jumping in, but I'm genuinely curious what the original poster of the comment meant.

    Uh..what do you mean by this? Be specific.

    Very true. When I worked at a big company who likes to advertise with a lizard (pre-covid), the owner billionaire wanted to put another billion into marketing efforts on top of what they were already spending, despite being absolutely huge already. It's a business function, and it's clearly working for RCL.

    For those wondering, it's usually not listed under activities but under "dining" in the app on sea days only. It's very strange, but makes it a much more intimate event in my experience.

    As with anything in life, it's about how the message is shared.

    I was on the Radiance a few weeks back and did video calls back home over facetime with no problem- on a ship without starlink. You might want to double check what telehealth platform your doctor is using. I'd imagine if it were just zoom, you might be able to get an audio call in (possibly video) okay.

    How do we know that? His quote was "ship was never in danger during the storm. He emphasized that the captain made decisions prioritizing the safety of passengers and crew" Which part was an "untruth?"

    ...isn't that his entire job?

    The good ones don't. Some of the websites that act as TA's have booking fees that, in my experience, aren't worth it in most cases. I did use one of these websites once and they charged a $25 fee but the deal I was getting was well worth it for a one time thing.

    I'm currently in the process of booking for December '23 and have found a TA who is giving double the OBC that Carnival is offering while also giving us the same price Carnival is quoting for the same category room. There's a certain website where they can compete that I've always used to compare overall offers and see if I can get more.

    You could always call and ask nicely to see if they can move you to the starboard side of the ship- the bulk of the casino is on the port side. Honestly the volume in the casino isn't that loud, though.

    There's some video links on facebook that show some of the swells they were sailing in, and it doesn't look fun for most folks (unless you like roller coasters like I do!). Link

    I took them up on the same deal and got it- usually the 10% is if you book using the app (but i've also seen via the website). I was able to get the 10% and don't see this as a dishonest business practice- usually if it didn't work it's something to do with your internet browser or the cookies from the website.

    You've got a point. The noise level must not have been truly insufferable or excessive if OP was willing to accept what amounts to fun money vs getting a good nights rest.

    Looks like your trip is off to a great start! Thanks for sharing!

    I was just curious as to which areas you, personally, found enjoyable and quiet to share for the benefit of others.
