Chlorine goes with fresh water pools.
Bromine goes with salt water pools.
I would bet that most ships use Chlorine in the Hot Tubs! Cheaper than Bromine. Bromine/Bromide is good for Hot Tubs where they don't have to change water frequently. If the Hot Tub has a Bromide base chemical in it, they can activate the Bromide to Make Bromine with a Chlorine addition each day. That will use less Chlorine. But I would hope they do change the water often!
Bromine can be used in Fresh Water Hot Tubs also! That is what I use at home in mine! To me its easier to use Chlorine based Chemicals for Hot tubs with lots of people using them. But for a home Hot Tubs, Bromine is the way to go and easier to maintain!

Yes it did for us! They do adjust the Insurance:D rate!
-
That happened to me last cruise! Just go to cashier cage with coupon! Also if you often book casino rate, but did not on a cruise, go to cashier cage and have them look at the lists for comps. I had booked two cruises one after the other diff ships. conquest/elation and only one was a casino rate and the other was not. And got comps on both!:D

they have to add sanitizer sometime!
:eek:
-
We bring a britta sport bottle and filter the ships water for the CPap machine. Or just use bottled water!

Since he was pre approved to take the vacation, Just tell the boss he needs his vacation time OR the boss has to pay him for the uncovered by insurance expenses for the vacation! :eek:

Last cruise I booked Early Saver and then price matched to Casino Rate!
:D And when I got on the ship, I checked at the Casino Cage and my name was on the list for Casino Cash too!!:D So make sure you check when on board!
-
For those who get Casino offers! Last time we did 2 different ships in a row - booked one with casino rate and other with early saver. Well I went to the cashier cage on both and they had me down for Casino Cash!! So always check!!!:D

If I am in a Special Cabin and someone asks to see it, I may let them in for a quick look! It does depend on the person and how busy I am!
Now a Cabin Crawl is well worth the walk if your on a roll call or a group with several different cabins!:D Warning for those who book only inside cabins - you may not want to know what your missing!!:rolleyes::D

DH is diabetic! He has no problem in the dining room or buffet - Just has to be careful to not be tempted by things he should not eat!:D
I have even had table mates in dining room who had no problem!
Just remember - You don't have to eat everything on the plate and if what you want is in 2 different entrees order both, eat what you want!:D

I agree! We are in our early 50,s and have no children but kids on a cruise have never bothered us? Its their vacation too:) we stay away from the main pool and other areas they seem to congregate at and if they look like they are riding the elevators up and down I start pressing all the buttons when I get in:
Cranky rude "The World Owes Me Something" Old people are much more of a pain on a cruise than kids:)
You sound like me!! Same age!! I love to mess with the misbehaving kids!
Last cruise I was getting in the elevator and a couple of 12/13yr old boys were sticking sheets of paper between the doors! My husband and I got in and I gave the kids "the grandma" look and then said "I know who their parents are, just wait till I tell them what their son has been doing in the elevator!"
I could smell the fear in them!!:eek: When ever they seen me the rest of the cruise they would go the other way!:D
-
We like the Longer cruises!:D If you have the vacation time they are perfect!!
-
Not using fins would be ok with me! I can swim without them or use supplied fins! Now I would not be happy if I could not use my Mask and Snorkel - who knows how sanitary they supplied ones are?
-
I want to book both legs of the 11 day and the 10 day Galveston, San Juan, Galveston! Would be $1600 deposit for both! that is a bit much money to tie up right now! So will wait a bit and see if any Deals come around!:rolleyes:
-
Seawolf Park! I am not sure if its open that early in the morning, but you could do a search and see if it is. It is an Excellent place to watch them Depart from, So I am sure it would be good for arrivals! You get a view for quite along time!
-
Just try another computer or browser!
-
Take your scrapbook with you to the craft store and see what brand will fit. Stores like Hobby Lobby, Joanns carry different brands.

Grand Cayman is a Tender port! Montego Bay is a dock!

All of the above are really good! But my new favorite is the Banana Cream Cake! And it is on the diet list - you would never know though!!! The one night I think I ate 4 pieces!! And on the night it is served in the dining room it is also on the Buffet!! :DThat is how I managed to eat 4 of them. We were headed to Movie under the Stars and went through the Buffet for snacks!!:rolleyes:
-
For the Ladies!! Even if it is not your Time of the Month , bring necessary Items with you!! Stress of Travel can cause strange things to happen!! :eek:Also other personal "Bedtime" items you may need! ;):rolleyes: $$very pricey on the ship!!!

I have a precious photo of my grandson, staring down at a plate of sushi with such LOVE in his eyes!! I hope he finds a girl some day and looks at her the same way!!:D
-
We splurged one time for a Balcony! Now have sailed 10 times all inside or ocean view. It just was not worth it to us!! Only in the room to change clothes or sleep!
:D

I usually bring a few extra to share with those "where did you get those?"!:D
I really want to say "Over there?" Pointing to the other end of Buffet area!!:rolleyes:

They are made by American Cornhole. If you look up their website they have the real RULES!!:D
Bulletproof Coffee on the Ships?
in Carnival Cruise Lines
Posted
:DThe buffet has pats of butter (if I remember it is a good quality butter) and if you use coconut oil you can bring a small jar from home.
I have not seen Heavy whipping cream on the ships, but could use half and half - if your not watching carbs that closely!
Maybe bring a shaker container to mix it in!
