Leaving for Utopia in just over a week.  May I ask when you were able to book shows?

TYA!

It has been quite some time since I last cruised Carnival.  My March cruise shows the cheers beverage pkg at $69.95, is it usually the same price onboard? Does it ever go on sale in the planner?

Have also seen quite a few stingrays there. In October,  we saw a manatee alongside the boat. That was a first for us at Coco Cay.

Did dolphin discovery in December when we were in Grand cayman for vacation.  Great experience.  When you book direct,  you are given several different options.  One includes complimentary admission to the turtle farm. Dh and I enjoyed it very much. 

BTW, I can't remember where on the internet I found it, but there is a percentage off coupon for dolphin discovery 

Another for Cards against Humanity

Absolutely loved it! Great food and service was excellent. 

I don't know if policy has recently changed, but my son who is Diamond got on the Mariner today and they gave him 30% off  his drink package and his fiance who is also Diamond, got 50% off because they had a buy one, get one half off. He said the total for the 3 days for 2 of them was 315.00!!

My husband did it for the first time on a cruise and had a great experience. The person who did it explained exactly what she would be doing and why it works and that she did eastern style. He had some immediate relief (not total relief) and found a Dr here after we got back who also does eastern and had 4 or 5 more appointments and acheived total relief of pain he had for about 5 years that he just chalked up to not taking care of his body when he was a kid.

I would think daily needs would be a gift! Whether it is diapers or bottle of water!

We are on the 2/2/19 sailing :). We’ve been to Nassau a few times. Last time we enjoyed Tiki Bikini Hut, but now that it is more expensive, are thinking of staying on the boat, and enjoying the sun and our drink package :)

I agree 100 percent with you, we used to love this place until it turned corporate.

We went on it for the first time about a month ago and are going back again in two weeks. I thought the staff was excellent and the ship was in good shape for it's age

In May, it was 60.00 per day onboard, had diamond plus discount and the total came to 346.92

Just off Allure a couple of weeks ago, the deluxe package was 60.00 per day plus gratuity

We did CP only once and won't do it again, that was the hottest room we have ever had. The heat just seems to radiate in CP. As others have said, very pretty at night with the lights and music, but we couldn't take the non-stop heat.

Just an FYI, it may be hard to find a hotel in the area, it was hit pretty hard by the hurricane as far as the utilities go and many do not have power or water back yet.

I tried to get it credited towards the alcohol package and was told no way!

We had 11729 on Harmony a few weeks ago and it was no where near as good as when we had the same room on Oasis. There was still a view of the water and the shows, but you have to look at that gawdy slide! We won't do it again on an Oasis class ship that has the slide.

This was our 4th boardwalk room (1st on Harmony), our room was the last one on deck 11 and when there was a movie or they closed the boardwalk for a private party, it was quite loud in the room. Our experiences on the other ships were much quieter.

Have only done Monsters of Rock charters and the activities are based on what the charter company has provided.

The bar staff, wait staff and room stews are still wonderful. Didn't notice a difference in food or service anywhere on the ship.

I would say if it is a charter theme you are interested in, go for it!

Called said too bad. we messed up, but to bad! Another great RCCL customer service

FUP!!

It is showing in my cruise planner but when I went to add it I got the message it wasn't available. Glad I didn't cancel my discounted internet first but bummed and hopeful Sip & Stream will be available for me again.

Same happened to me, tried to buy this afternoon, got message so I just figured I would buy it after work....nope, now I can't even access my reservation. Bummer!

We have cruised MSC twice and to be fair, they were both chartered cruises. My experience was that the ships were absolutely gorgeous, but there it stopped, the service was poor, the food was not even up to par with an RCL buffet and the language barrier was a big problem....ie....I ordered a Margarita at the bar and they had no idea what I was talking about!

I did not know they reserved tables on the promenade, we just usually get there very early to get a table outside the pub on New Years

If you are not winning, they usually do not care!

We have had both CP and Boardwalk balconies, we love the Boardwalk balconies so much more than the CP! The Cp room seemed to stay a bit warmer than the Boardwalk room.
