Does anyone have the email address for the maitre d on the Dream?

We are sailing on the Dream with two other families in October. There will be 12 of us. We have linked our booking numbers so we should be seated together (or at least close).

Does anyone know if there is a table in the MDR that is big enough for all of us? Is there more than one? Is there a way I can help guarantee we get a large table and not get split?

Titan, send me your email and will send you the codes..

Thanks

snc_cam, I missed that about not driving. In that case I would suggest the Carnival Shuttle.

Would you mind sharing the Avis & Budget codes? I am flying into Orlando in August for me and the wife's 20th anniversary cruise on the Sunshine.

The carnival shuttle is $35 per person each way. We did it once and it seemed like we spent a lot of time waiting for other people. The bus won't leave until it is full.

We have found that we can rent a car from Thrifty or Dollar for $50-70 and move at our own pace. You can drop your bags at the cruise terminal and then take the car to the rental place. They will then give you a lift back to the terminal. Much faster than the Carnival Shuttle.

After the cruise is over the rental car shuttle will be waiting for you at the terminal.

My wife and I did the Frommer's Walking Tour last year. Here is a link to it at Google Maps...

It is not a 45 minute walk to the stair case. Maybe 20 if you don't stop anywhere along the way. We did the whole tour in less than 2 hours.

We never felt unsafe. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Many people along the way recognized we were doing a tour and offered insight on the various attractions. I live near Nashville and I have seen sketchier people downtown than I did in Nassau.

Wilson Co. Tennessee is March 9-22. We usually cruise during fall break though, much cheaper. It is Oct 5-18 this year and we will be Dream(in') out of NOLA.

Last January on the Sensation our room steward left me a card, a bottle of champagne, and a ship on a stick.

If you aren't traveling with a kid do they give it to you?

No.

We just got off the Conquest last Sunday and it was our first Platinum cruise. The perks really did make our cruise more enjoyable. Much more than I thought they would.

I learned something and I wanted to point it out just in case others understood it as I did.

The perks list a BOGO casino tournament and also a $5 Arcade credit (under 18). I thought this meant platinum adults got the casino perk and platinum kids got the arcade perk. I was wrong. The adults get the casino perk and they can also get a $5 arcade credit for 2 fellow guests under 18. You just have to go to Camp Carnival to claim your $5 arcade cards.
