Not true. The reason distilled water is recommended for humidifiers, CPAP is because it contains almost ZERO minerals that cause scale to firm inside the internal elements of those devices. Using the tap is fine for washing, brushing but those water lines contain billions of microbes 🦠. Bottled water ir distilled wont. So you are taking a HUGE risk by sending steam into your nasal cavity & lungs. Where the perfect environment lives to give you one hell of a respiratory illness. But, what do i know…😷
Been cruising for over 300 days with a CPAP and nothing has "grown" in my lungs. Sorry to have tried to be of help. Enjoy your cruise!

Things are different now. But I have always carried my c-pap and brought my own extension cord.
I never informed any one, I never ask for water, I have been doing this for over 20 years.
I read the post you were referring to and there had to be for to it.
I don't understand this huge thing for distilled water for 7 days. Not that big of a deal.

We just booked Carnival Magic sailing Sept 4 and there isn't a single excursion listed. Unless you count FTTF and rides back and forth from the airport to the pier. We have Nassau, HMC and Bimini so I want to get things scheduled as well. Especially Bimini since we have never been there.
Any recommendations on what to do in Bimini? TIA!
We will be sailing with on the 4th with you after numerous cancellations! It's been a long time since I've been to Bimini (working for Windjammer Barefoot Cruises in the 1980's) but, it's a small quiet island. Alice Town is fun to walk around in and bar/restaurant hop even though the Complete Angler is gone. For some beach time, take a ride down to Radio Beach. It's a small beach area but has great water and local eateries to die for (Joe's Conch Shack)! From what I understand, there is also a new Virgin resort with a casino if that's your thing (it is ours)! See you onboard!

Thanks. It shows ours for our Sept 4 cruise and with the $500 OBC but, we are Platinum and it does not have PRIORITY on the luggage tags. Makes me think it's gonna be some time before that comes back (FTTF is still showing available under excursions)!

If she is the big casino player and on slots, have her put your S&S card in the machine when she is playing and as soon as she gets enough points on it, you'll have your own Drinks On Us card.

Rolaur, where can I find this information?
It is in the fine print on the bottom of the offer flyer that we got.
-
Our Bounce Back offer states "This promotional offer is applicable for 1st/2nd guests only." It's in the fine print so you might not need Cheers for him.
-
You get assigned an arrival time not boarding. The earliest I've seem is 11:30. You board when the ship is cleared by the USCG. TSA and HSA.

7 on the Legend! It's our favorite ship. Small enough to be intimate yet not crowded. Nothing beats a Spirit class ship I our book!

There are basically 3 areas (piers) for cruise ships in Cozumel and all on the same side of the island. That said, Puerta Maya is the typical Carnival pier (as they own it) and in the last couple of years they have expanded it to now have 3 berths. The International pier is more of a Royal Caribbean berth for 2 ships. If there is a Carnival overflow, they can and do use the Punta Langosta pier which is right downtown in the main shopping area. Either way, they are all close and there are no piers or for that much anything else on the other side of the island as it is a protected park.

Our favorite on Fantasy class ships is an Empress deck mid ship balcony E83 if we can get it. Great view, close to the atrium bar for me and 83 is the year the wife graduated from high school so she can find her way home after a long night!!!
-
I get the DOU often but, since my wife wants Cheers, and since everybody over 21 in the cabin has to get it, we get that instead. When you go to check in at the casino on the first night, let them know that you have cheers. They usually send us all kinds of "gifts" instead during the cruise like steakhouse diners, wine at diner and treats in the cabin. I like cheers anyway as it gives me coffee, soda, water, milkshakes and more all over the ship.

Sitting at 36, 480 but don't know how. I used all but 900 of my points before the change over on Carnival cards!

Yea I would strongly advise anyone NOT to count on any gift cards working right now that you buy. They are having MAJOR issues. Got a couple cards for Uber and the link they sent me would not work.
When I called them they said if the card didn't work I would have to call Uber, I explained that the it wasn't the "gift card wouldn't work" that the link they emailed me to get my gift card number wouldn't work! Spent 3 phone calls over two days so far trying to get it resolved and the last call they finally advised they are aware of glitch in their system and are working hard to resolve it, but they do not know when it will be resolved.
I asked what do I need to do to get good valid gift cards, will my link work eventually. They couldn't give me a good answer and basically said I will need to just keep calling back and checking.
I am glad I didn't "buy" my cards and it was points only, so I am not out any cash... unlike that $500 Carnival Gift card someone else up above mentioned.
Again, be very leery right now if you decide to get any gift cards.
Fortunately, I purchased the gift card with a cc so if it's not resolved in a week, I can just call my cc company and get the charge reversed.

I actually purchased a $500 gift card yesterday. Looked today and they were gone. I went to use the card I purchased for my Cheers package today online and realized that the e gift card doesn't have a PIn. I called AARP who told me to call Carnival and gave me a number saying Carnival is aware and will issue another card via email with a PIN. After over an hour on the phone being passed back and forth within Carnival since nobody knew of this situation, we got AARP Rewards on the line in a 3 way conversation. AARP has now stated that they know about the problem but haven't solved it yet and that it is their fault and will get back to me in a few day. hopefully with a solution..lol! Good thing I don't need that $500 for a cruise tomorrow. Lots of bugs being worked out I guess.

One per month "per vendor" up to 3. I have no idea how the vendor thing works though.
-
I purchased one this morning and it worked fine (printable card). Only thing new and not so great is that there is a monthly limit to how many you can purchase.
-
If you look into how ships water is processed, you will find that it is basically distilled water. I have always filled my cpap with tap water onboard and never had a problem. Enjoy your cruise.

Paradise is a great short cruise ship. With the new additions and recent refurb, she shines. We do these 4-day cruises very often and never feel like they are "booze cruises". Tampa is a very easy port to get in and out of plus, the Florida Aquarium is right next to the ship for some morning fun!
$25 dollar cruise!

Yes we spend a good amount of time in the casino but you don't have to lose to get these deals. It is based on the amount of time you spend there and the average amount of your bet. We have lost $ on some cruises and hit $15K jackpots on others. Even on losing cruises, we would rather give it to the casino with a chance of winning then to corporate with no chance...lol!
