Hi yes going in February I also will be interested in a beach stop to spend $$! I saw on resort for a day the Grand Lucayan Lighthouse Point is open for day passes so guess thats one of the first to open! 🙏😎

Got our letter we are grandfathered in!! kudos to all that fought for this perk!! 👍😎

Well add us to the long list of people getting what they booked for and now being  taken away!! being in our early 60's and retired we always look for specials to continue our addiction of cruising.  I normally book ocean balconies but wanted to try the BW balcony for something different and being a person that loves soda and also seltzer this package was perfect!! a free burgers never hurt!!

I am hoping that Royal will see how this is horrible customer service (haha don't laugh)and reinstate this package for those of us that have booked almost a year out!!

While we look for specials to book our cruises we normally do not have a budget while on board but this time we will!! On our Oasis sailing in May we will close our wallets as a response to this 'enhancement of the guest experience'!

No drink pkg, no souvenirs, no duty free liquor, no excursions, no specialty dining, spa treatments, photos etc....and most importantly will not spend a dime on COCO CAY!! Additional tips will be given as always to the great crew!! and I truly feel sorry for the customer service reps for all the grief they have to take from this "executive decision"!

Off to write my letter to corporate!!🚢😎

I was able to search interior rooms today!! I haven't checked a lot of sailings but fingers crossed they actually fixed this nonsense.

thank you so so much for letting me know!! i ended up checking another sailing and booked a balcony yesterday (of course lol)i really wanted to try the promenade interior for something different. i thought maybe those rooms would end up getting booked after so long trying to access them,,,,,best of luck to you hope you can get what you want!!!! 😎

Have you reported anything to RC. I'm sure it's not going to help, but just hoping something changes soon. I've reported it so many times! Are you able to see any prices? I'm just having problems with interiors.

hi yes i have reported two separate times regarding problems and never get a response.i have cleared my computer of the usual recommendations and try on several devices and no luck,,,,i can however access other sailings but none of which i am interested in at this time,,,,,most sailings out of NJ i am unable to price but yes actually i am looking at interiors also!!! very frustrating for sure!! good luck!! 

I still cannot access any prices for sailings out of NJ for what seems like weeks now also,,,,hope this gets resolved soon!!😞

Hi 13 cruises here with Carnival and keep coming back! Going with our grandson on his first Carnival cruise soon to start the next generation of cruisers!! Loved Breeze!! Magic is on the to do list!! :cool::cool::cool:

I also had a nice facial on Vista during a journeys cruise it was very relaxing! Never take the time at home so enjoyed it even more and did purchase a couple items to kickstart my new:D routine!! :cool::cool:

Thanks for the review!!! Any chance you have the 4 FUNTIMES to post?? Thx!!:cool:

Hi my hubby and I always enjoy reading your reviews!! we will look forward to meeting you hopefully as we are on the same sailing of the new Sunrise!!

following,,,

Out of port of Baltimore...

Since we have 2-6 packs (cans) each in our carry on, I thought I'd try a small 6 pack (cans) in the checked bag.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

Hi I am a big Red Bull fan and have never had an issue with carrying on a SEALED 12 pack on more than one cruise! :)

I'm curious to know people's thoughts on the Vista. I have cruised on the Breeze and assume it's very similar? Though it also seems like people don't like it as much. Any insights would be appreciated.

we loved Vista! cant wait to check out Horizon too! :)

Did not do on Harmony but did on Allure and it is an excellent experience. Also the advertised 3 hours was actually closer to 5 :)

Hi do they give any souvenirs with this tour?? thanks!! :)

thank you for your review Jamman54,,,,always enjoy reading your reviews,,,,we are getting ready to sail on sunshine for the first time this weekend and also trying JiJi Asian Kitchen cant wait!!! :)

I used to book online directly with Carnival now i use my PVP :)

just and FYI updated my on line checkin and vista sailing was available to select checkin times

Yes, at the beach bars.

great! thank you! :)

You can walk it in about 10 - 15 minutes. There's also a short water taxi but I forget the cost. Hubby and I decided recently we needed to walk!

Also, the beach is great! Many good deals for lounge chairs. Usually $25 for two chairs, umbrella and 5 beers (something like that).

Have fun 😆

Hi are there restrooms at this beach by the port?

Right at the port in Halifax are some shops. You may also find something along the waterfront.

Hi will these souvenir shops sell stamps for postcards?

For excursions booked through the ship, they will tell you where to meet. Often it's on the dock where they will have employees holding signs for the various excursions.

For excursions booked on your own, just make sure you are on top of the timing. Sometimes ship time is different that port time. When the ship is docked, I've never found the lines to be too bad. Getting on seems to take longer than getting off. If it's a tender port, those lines tend to be longer, IMO.

thank you so much!!!:)

Thank you for all of your tips! I am trying to collect many as I will be sailing first time on Oasis class next March. I would like to book some excursions but have questions regarding the meet ups. Do you meet somewhere on the ship prior and then get off or do you wait online with 5000+ people and then find your spot on the dock?? My concern is how long does it take for that many people to get off and will I possibly miss my excursion if it takes a long time?? thank you!! :)

Make scrapbooks from each cruise :)
