Has anyone been to the Emeril's Favorites class that is offered on Mardi Gras? we have it booked fir our cruise in May and was hoping to hear good things.

I miss the printed Fun Times and long for the days when our phones went into the safe and we were able to take a break from technology. Seemed that the Trivia cheating wasn't as rampant back then either.

Spent a few days in Charleston prior to our cruise this past August. While there, i stopped at t local record shop downtown. I collect Jimmy Buffett vinyl records. Picked a copy of Songs you don't know by Heart and talked a bit with the owner about Jimmy and my lifelong fandom. We boarded the ship the next day and spent our port day in Nassau at the Margaritaville resort. Upon arriving back into port at the end of the cruise, the first thing I saw on my phone when we had service was that Jimmy Buffett had passed. the wife and I were heartbroken and spent the drive back to Atlanta listening to Buffett. Fins Up!

Were sailing Carnival Miracle January 8th. We booked direct through Pac-Whale Eco Adventure.

Thanks for the info. After a little more digging, we booked the luau at the Disney resort instead. Much closer and less stress on getting back on time!

I posted this originally and after seeing the comments and doing little more research, we ended up booking a tour out of Ma’alaea as many suggested.

Hello friends. We are looking to book the Toa Luau at Waimea Valley. The luau ends at 8:00PM. Ship leaves at 11:00 and we have to drop the rental at the airport Avis before heading back to the ship. Is three hours plenty of time to get back to the airport, drop the rental and taxi back to the port? Seems so to me, but wanted to ask those who have been there before. Thanks

We have cars rented in both Maui and Honolulu.with Avis, picking up at airport. Asking you all if it is with renting in the ports below. First time in Hawaii! Hilo 9:30-6:30 Kauai 8:30-4:30 Thanks!

All great points.Thanks for responding. Got some more research to do.

Hello friends....Docking at Kahului at 8:00 and looking to book a whale watching excursion at 10:00AM in Lahaina. First time in Maui. Is this doable via taxi or Uber?

Can you share from where you see at which dock any cruise ship docks on a specific cruise?

Curious about the MDR menus on a 14 day cruise. Do they repeat after day 7? How many formal nights on a 14 day?

Same here.

Anyone heard details of the Miracle dry dock scheduled for October 2022? Sailing her in January 2023 to Hawaii and curious what upgrades may be added.

Thank you for your response. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Flying Southwest due to massive amount of miles i have. Flight is basically free. They have not yet released their flight schedules for the January 8th sailing, so i don't know if there will be non stop flights or not. Just curious as to how early we can book the return flight.

We are cruising out of Long Beach. Plan is to arrive a day or two prior to sailing. Coming from Atlanta. Waiting on SWA flight schedules to open up for January bookings. Resigned to to fact that there will be connections and getting back to Atlanta at a decent time is not likely. Will be posting more questions on the Hawaii ports as there does not seem to be much that I can find on these boards. Appreciate all the replies so far!

First ever west cost departure on Carnival Miracle in January 2023. We have always cruised out of Florida and drive to the ports. We are flying into Cali a couple days prior. Wondering how early we can book return flights after debarkation. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks

Cruising out of Long Beach to Hawaii in January 2023. Which airport to arrive day prior to boarding? LAX or Long Beach? Fist time cruising out of California. Any advice is appreciated.
