If the aft wrap I've booked doesn't have a lounger, I will surely be asking for one. Two would be better. They have time to fix their "shortage"! Have never had an aft wrap or aft-facing on Carnival that did not have loungers. I'll report back too!

. . .. I am concerned with the snootiness level of other passengers, that is for sure.
I wouldn't let that stop me from trying it out though.

We cruise on both, though we haven't been on Carnival since 2019, and have been on Celebrity twice in the past year. Yet, Venezia is coming to NY and I want to see what she's like.
Best to try them out for yourself! Have not had a bad cruise on any line or ship yet.
Remember, ALL major cruise lines have had cutbacks, and they are evident on every ship. I have lowered my expectations and still enjoy watching the sea go by from a ship balcony.

Haven't tendered on Celebrity since 2020 and no recollection of how it works.
Just show up? advance numbered tickets, ? does Captain's Club status play a role?

Hi. I booked this last month after trying Carnival for the first time in April with the Legend. The four day appealed to me because I can disembark and head straight downtown to work when we get back...lol. More days saved for future cruising.
As a new carnival cruiser, I was wondering if there are meet and greets/mingles that are coordinated between cruise critic or that other site? There was not a ship set up one on the Legend and I am used to the ones done on NCL that I have hosted and participated in. This is just for my general knowledge as I slowly drift to more and more fun ship cruises.
Hi and welcome. I hear ya about local ports! We take the train in from NJ and we'll be home by probably 9am! Love that.
CC does not seem to coordinate these events anymore. I have heard that some on the FB page arrange group get-togethers; I went to one last year that someone from FB posted on CC roll call so that's how I knew about it. Does NCL still do them? I know they did pre-covid (and I've hosted too) but have only been on one NCL since then (last April) and we didn't have meet n greet on that one (Gem).
I think a cabin crawl would be cool on this one if we get a couple people to show their cabins!

Only the balcony is wider, not the cabin. It's because there is a cabin steward closet that ends before the balcony.
Oh does that mean we'll be hearing the door open and close while the steward is in that closet early in the morning?
Also, these are all connecting cabins; hopefully it's quiet. We had connecting cabin on Beyond in Feb and heard nothing from next door.

Thanks, everyone! Helpful. Appreciate all your responses.

This topic is discussed here frequently. Yes...many consider SNA and LGB airports better because they are smaller and relatively close. I see you are from NJ, which might imply flying out of LGB or SNA would therefore require a connection somewhere, whereas flying out of LAX is more likely to get you a non-stop.
I can get non-stops to and from both LAX and SNA. 🙂
No non-stops to or from Long Beach.
They seem to be almost equidistant. Someone told me always best to head AWAY from LAX, so that's why I checked out SNA and was happy to see non-stops!
But. . . is it easier, quicker, etc., or just go with LAX.
-
We'd like to check out the LA area a day or 2 before the cruise departs.
So for that it seems we should fly into LAX,but after the cruise. . is SNA better just because it is a smaller airport?
or do LAX round trip?
Thanks in advance. If you're ever in the northeast cruising from NY or NJ--I will return the favor! 😁

Haven't had a bad cruise yet--on ANY of the major lines.

Yikes. Going on it in the fall, so I guess I'll adjust my expectations (after being on Beyond in Feb!).
So does this mean that top deck is still a sundeck and they have not blocked it off for suite guests only? Like the Reflection had last year?
-
ok, thanks. We've had aft facing on a few Caribbean cruises and it was way too hot with no breeze. Occasional soot depending on the wind (or worse, lack of wind as that's when the stern gets the soot).
Love wake view!

We were in an SV aft on the Eclipse this past January. The cabin was 6312. The bed was next to the balcony and the couch was near the closet.
It had a wider balcony than the other aft balconies.
Hi. So that cabin is open on the cruise we're looking at. . . why was the balcony wider. . . is this ADA cabin? I notice ones above are also wider. Just wondering why before we book!
Thanks in advance.
-
HI everyone! In looking at photos of the stern, some of these SVs are wider than others. They are not marked as ADA cabins. Has anyone stayed in one of these and are they a standard cabin with just a wider balcony for whatever reason? (We do not want to book ADA as others may need these).
Specifically decks 6-8 we're looking at.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all. So what time has actual boarding time started at the Red Hook port?
-
Wait, there is a charge for some shows?
I remember Norwegian charged for "Choir of Man" and I think some other murder mystery from years back. Other than that, no Celebrity, Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean or Virgin Voyages show had a charge for entertainment that I can recall.

We are also on 10/25 Miraviglia. We live in East Brunswick. Uber gave us a quote of $75 each way. Just hope we can get one getting off the ship on 11/5.
Sounds about right. For the return though, expect it to be much more. Still, it's cheaper than a car service or parking there.

I'd fill your TA in and let them handle it.
TA says she can't fix account issues; just reservation issues.
Very frustrating that no one at MSC helps. Call and they direct you to emails that don't get answered.
Not even sailed with them yet and already annoyed.

Thanks, everyone. Not going to bother with XL.

And when bidding on an XL upgrade you have no choice of what they assign you, so you could easily end up with an XL cabin with no hammock.
The hammock is one of the best features!
-
Is this were the outdoor tented shops used to be? Inside the fenced part of the cruise port?
If you live across the street, we watched your place be built over the years; we have cruised almost annually to Saint John for at least 10 years--probably 12! 🙂
I look forward to a lobster roll!

the cabin itself is pretty similar, but the bathroom is super different between the 2. the XL has an open doorway with frosted glass door cubicles for the shower and toilet, and the sink is in the open door space. the regular sea terrace has an all-in-one bathroom with a sink, shower and toilet and has a door to the whole thing.
ah ok. Yes I remember the bathroom on Scarlet lady--smallest bathroom I've ever had on any cruise line/ship!
Thanks.

So these are both options on a cruise we're considering. Do you really notice the cabin space difference in the XL?
-
Where is everyone. . . prob on FB?
A cabin crawl would be nice if we get enough people.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago. I notice the deck plan now has a doorway to the stairs that is not next to the aft-wrap cabin's door (oddly, this doorway did not show a few months ago when I booked). Experience on deck 7 of (maybe) Glory was I got to hear the crew door slam shut at all hours so I did not want to be right next to it.
Wishing that by now we had some aft wrap pics and videos from this ship!
