When we were on the Enchanted in November it took three days before any "beef" was on the menu.

We had been monitoring the airfare for several months. We only fly nonstop. The cheapest we could find was on Fly to Fun for $1000pp. It was United economy (not basic so we could choose our seats.) from EWR to BAR on Thursday, May 25th and return from LHR on Sunday, June 18th (we are doing B2B. Then it was no longer available on F2F. On United's website the same flights were $1500 pp. The seats were filling up so I wound up using most of our miles plus cash to book. This was in October. We are staying in Hotel HCC Montblanc near Playa Cataluna and Gothic area.

We are on this cruise also. We had to use 95,000 miles each plus $150 each to go from EWR to Barcelona and back from LHR. And this is just economy on United. There is only one nonstop flight and the seats were filling up so had to book it.

I wasn't ready to use it to book another cruise so bought 2 $500 OBC certificates for my cruise in Feb.

I never use RC website. Too confusing. Here is the itinerary from the TA I use. It is only 7 days but I was thinking of doing a b2b with the Med cruise before. Also my TA has a special group price for this cruise.

My balance on my next Carnival cruise is $1379.62. If I pay with 3 $500 Carnival gift cards, I would have a credit of $120.38. Would this amount go to my on board account as a refundable OBC? I know I can also purchase 3 $100 gift cards and pay the balance with my cc. I also plan on prepurchasing some excursions. What do you think is the best way?

Can you tell us a little about your friend's excursion and how they enjoyed their day?

We are rooting for you. Please let us know what happens.🚐✈️

After booking my first MSC cruise for next year when I heard the Meraviglia was coming to NY, I started reading the MSC forum here and found out MSC will no longer provide tissues. They even put a metal plate over where the tissue dispenser is.

Can you describe which tour you did with Bernard Tours? I was considering them the next time I am in St. Maarten.

RC Voyager of sea has two cruises in 2024 that stop in Egypt. One in June and one in August.

I'm on the Getaway in February on a short cheapo cruise to Bermuda. We just did this itinerary in November on Princess or else I probably would have been on this or the 1/20 cruise.

So does this mean the free NCL ferry will be running all winter? We will be there in February.

On my November Enchanted cruise we reserved a table for two at 7:30pm each night. We came anywhere between 7 and 8. No one asked us if we had reservations and we never waited for a table.

We are going on the Getaway in February for a short 5 day trip, just to get a small "winter" break. We do not drink or gamble much so look forward to relaxing, eating good meals and seeing shows. I try not to book the same ship twice so the shows I can see will be different. That being said I did do the Breakaway twice but was lucky enough to see Six instead of Rock of Ages. And on the Joy in September we could not get into Syds to see the Fleetwood Mac Rumors show so I was looking forward to possibly seeing it on the Getaway. Now I'm disappointed that they may not have it on my sailing. Everyone cruises for different reasons so you should not mock any one whose interests differ from yours.

It was pending on Amex for about one day but now it shows as purchased. My case is somewhat different than most. I originally used the Amex offer the day I received it to pay off the balance of my February cruise a week after paying this amount with another credit card. My TA called NCL and the rep said they would transfer credit cards. A week later the Amex purchase was cancelled and put back on the original credit card and NCL told my TA the rep made a mistake and it could only be transferred from one cc to another within 48 hours. So now I didn't have the offer anymore. We called Amex up and after speaking with many departments they said they would reinstate the offer but it never came back to my list. They told us not to worry and just make an NCL purchase and the $350 will come off. And now we have emails from them to prove this. So I just purchased the two $500 OBC gift certificates on Friday. Here's hoping the discount will appear on my next statement. We were assured again by Amex that it will when we called again yesterday.

I just bought myself OBC for my upcoming cruise. Took a screenshot of the confirmation and they said an official email confirmation will come in 24 hours. Never got that email but when I checked my account the purchased OBC was there.

My 14 day Island Caribbean originally was to be in November 2020 on the Sky. On the roll call before COVID cancelled it no one ever mentioned a meet and greet. Then it was changed to the Caribbean Princess for 2021 and still no mention. That sailing was changed to the Enchanted Princess for 2022 and about 9 pages in someone finally asked about a meet and greet. I volunteered to do it and wound up with 130 people wanting to come. 100 actually did show up .

Enjoying the review. We are on the Getaway out of NY in February.

There have been several threads here posted by people worried about the May 28th Pride sailing out of Barcelona. It is right after dry dock too. It is no longer bookable and not on any port schedules. John Heald says it is still on but we who are booked feel in limbo and Carnival isn't helping.

Paul McCartney would be so proud.

I just organized one for our 14 day Enchanted last month. We had over 100 attend. Our CD Jamie introduced the officers and was very entertaining. We had a gift exchange where you stole someone else's gift if you didn't like what you got. It was hysterical. We had a luncheon the following day and many made new friends for the whe cruise. We had a slot pull with 40 participants. We doubled our money so had another one later in the cruise. There was a bar crawl which everyone who attended had a great time. On sea days we had LRC games. For my next three cruises no one has mentioned a meet and greet and I don't feel like doing it again. Maybe in the future.

We are also on the B2B in June. I was watching air fares for some months and the prices barely came down so wound up using miles plus cash. I have also paid an additional amount toward this cruise because of a special credit card promotion. I'm scheduled for another payment on this promotion in January but I might put it on the June cruise instead. The promotion is for any travel. I have pre paid the internet but didn't purchase any excursions yet. Now I'm a little worried about the June 9th sailing seeing some who have Pride sailings later in the year may be having unusual signals, although it is still bookable and it is on all the port schedules, unlike the May 28th Pride cruise.

I am also on the May 28th Pride. I was one of the people who asked John Heald about this cruise and he told me we were definitely going. Then I read that some say he is sometimes wrong so I wrote to the customer service department and got a reply to just check with my TA.

What a wonderful review. Thank you.
