Be careful using the elevators.....on an ncl ship backing out could have taken me down the stairs if i wasnt paying attention....it was not a close call but when you feel you need to get out of the way of a mass group heading your way you may not think of everything in the moment....expect people waiting for the elevators to rush right by you....if i cruised more than every couple of years i would def speak up and demand to not be denied my turn....because i dont i just go with the flow.....some people will be very solicitous....most dont seem to even see you...iyou...i hope you have a wonderful time!

I believe they are higher...been on several lines and dont remember any problems with the height which is a factor for me whenever i go out...

I would be on the 2pm....i do not believe there is food available at any of the beaches yet...while it wont be as relaxing using so much time in transport the island is magic and exactly what i will be doing on my next cruise...and islanders are grateful for every person walking off that ferry to visit...enjoy

Yes but freezing in the caribbean and there are several stairs going up and down to access the edge of the pool...the pool area was very pretty but very windy...think it was in the front of the ship ....

We stayed at coral princess ..........small,clean and no wait to check in...we waited 2 hrs at the intercontinental with scores of other cruisers...everything is pretty close in san juan...

We stayed at coral princess...small,funky,tiny city pool but a lot cheaper than the big names and very clean...for one night i would def stay again...

Contact tours with ellis...he is on fb...we had a grand day with him smoothly getting us where we wanted to go and to and from the bio tour...a lovely man with a real love for his adopted home...can't recommend him highly enough...over 20 trips and cruises to the caribbean and that day stands out as one of the best!

Ive been here on and off for over 20 years....some time ago i learned there is an outlet behind the bed on many ships but it is european...a few years ago we looked for it and there it was in all its convenient glory!....we had the right adapter was were able to use it...think it was an ncl ship or rc....wouldn't hurt to check...

Booking is all over the place....i recently booked carnival and the hc cabins were not on their site but readily found on other sites...so i did not have to call...surprised that there were only a couple of fully accessible cabins on a newer ship...

After my sister saw a pile of bags go into the water we carry on everything....tho we only pack carryon and a small medical bag...

My first cruise was 25 yrs ago on majesty.....as we lie on the bed taking it all in after unpacking i remarked to my husband...oh i get it...its like a nice camper!..the cabin was tiny...but it was a wonderful trip!

I need my scooter on the ship and the no threshold to the bathroom and other safety features incorporated there......there are scooters that just fit through regular cabin doors but not all hallways are wide enough to get the right angle to head straight through the door.....and it is the law that your scooter must stay in your cabin...the days of the kind steward storing it for you out of the way should be technically over....not to say it doesn't happen but the line can face a stiff fine if discovered allowing them in the halls....a scooter provides me with safety and independece....

My only cruise on carnival was to alaska with 19 family members on the spirit....we decided last minute to go and were put on a wait list...svlcored an aft cabin and had no idea how it would enhance the trip...180 degree view....land on both sides...gorgeous glacier water wake... We went in early august and had perfect warm and sunny weather...i would do my best to get an aft...also bigger than the side balconies the rest of the family had...since then most of them only book afts....as do we....have a great trip...

.

Def gate check!

We upgraded at the last minute to an aft suite....huge cabin with the most comfortable bed i have ever slept in...loved having a lounger on the deck....it certainly had everything we needed...also had an obstructed view cabin on the dawn which i think is a sister ship...had a good sized window but with a scooter the cabin was barely big enough....on deck 8...

Each libe deals with a couple of companies who will have it delivered to your cabin...you could call the special needs line or maybe someone here will post the usuals...

Thanks for the info and the photo....looks like it will a fun port!

Have you tried walmart for bluebell?...i moved to eastern nc last year and that is the only place i could find it...missing our maine made local brands but bluebell is a pretty good substitute!

Bingomamma19.....did your daughter get the passport card without her father?....my daughter had to jump through a lot of hoops to get her ex to coopetate with showing up for her son's renewal..his original was as an infant so it was like starting over....

Nice videos....how was geting in and out of the water?...i keep seeing about rocks but haven't seen them in the photos ......i swim like a fish but not so stable on land!

This was a long time ago and likely our ins wouldn't have covered a replacement....by the time it was ready to come off she was taking it on and off at will and using it as a club...hard to keep a 6yo down!

My daughter broke her wrist the night before a holiday on an island in maine...dr said just let her do what she can and the cast can get wet so enjoy...she had a great time but that darn cast smelled like rotting lobsters for 6 weeks!...

I love the southern routes....favorite stops st thomas to get the ferry to st john....our heaven on earth... and barbados...

Haven't been there in years but one of my fondest cruise memories...much easier to do on your own and no less safe than going with a group....we are big snorkelers and enjoy trying local food...enjoy your day there!

The swizzle inn will give you a terrific fish sandwich and their delicious Bermuda chowder.....I make the chowder from the gosling rum site....bought the distinctive Bermuda sherry peppers at a hot sauce store in maine as we only do carryon...you can buy them at one of the stores bear the ship...a rum swizzle will make your day!
