Our cruise is in ten days, and it's still currently available for purchase on the excursion list.

Thanks for posting! Great info.

I wore sandals that covered my toes and had non skid bottoms and they worked fine, other ladies in our group had heels on, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for all of your great answers!

They usually post them around 6 six months before the cruise but I have seen them posted as late as 3 months before the cruise, so it is not unusual for them to not be posted right now.

Oh! I surely hope that won't be the case for this cruise... I'm too much of a planner, plus I'd like to get my hands on FTTF if I can manage it.

That makes me feel better about nothing being listed yet... Just thought the next year answer was quite strange.

My husband and I booked a cruise on the Liberty out of San Juan in March of next year, and when looking at the excursions, nothing shows up. We called about it and Carnival said they won't add excursions until early next year. That doesn't seem right to me as we've booked far in advance before and haven't had this issue.

Are others who are cruising a year or so from now having this issue by chance?

We tipped $50, and we thought it was well deserved as the wait staff was phenomenal! Our drinks (both water and wine) were never empty, they used our names, and the service was perfectly coordinated.

I hope your experience is just as amazing!

I can relate to the atmosphere on the ship as when we were on our first cruise in Sept. Of 2011, a man went overboard on the Conquest shortly after leaving Cozumel. The ship spent a good amount of time searching, unfortunately he was never found.

I hope that this young man is found, and though he may not have survived, at least there can be closure for his loved ones.

I would have said no thanks.

 

BTW that was upsell fairy.

Oops! Thanks for the correction!

and we said no :eek:.

We are currently booked in a Spa Balcony for a September sailing on the Magic. Carnival offered an Ocean Suite for $500 more (not a spa room). I didn't think it was worth it to spend an extra $500, plus having to shell out the extra $250 for the spa access we originally had.

Did we make a good choice? The priority embarkation would have been nice, but $500 nice?

Are the charges pending or have they cleared? If they are pending, it's possible that they are just holds and they should drop off after a few days.

There's a guy on the chat function below on the cam webpage called GalvestonCamGuy who controls the cams. Pretty cool job, I think!

Not all of the ships have it, but the Magic does, for sure. It's $95 per person and the tour on the Magic is really outstanding.

Thanks for the info! Now I just have to make sure we are on the ship early enough to secure our spots. :)

That's great to hear! How do we book it?

Thanks for the response. We will be on the Magic, so I hope we get an opportunity to check it out.

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything specific regarding the Behind the Fun tour. Do Carnival ships still offer it? Thanks in advance!

I never made it back to this thread as my daddy passed away unexpectantly. Its been a rough month. Just last week did I come back to my thread and it lifted me up. I booked another cruise on Magic for 9/21/14. She really is my favorite ship.

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

I thoroughly enjoyed your review; it definitely made my husband and I that much more excited to go on the Magic.

We were actually set to go on Sept. 21, but due to surprise military orders, we are now going two weeks earlier. I hope that you enjoy your cruise!

Not the best pictures, but it was our first cruise. Definitely a special time for us.
