I had a similar problem back in April when I booked my flight home from Barcelona after the Pride TA. I had the original schedule from when I booked the flights. Then there was a schedule change and I tried calling first my PVP, who had no access to the booking since there was a schedule change and it was in Fly2Fun’s hands. So I called there many many times, and every time I was told to wait 48 hours and it would be remedied. Of course it wasn’t. About 2-3 weeks before my cruise I got someone who seemed to care, and I told her I was considering booking flights on my own because I had no confidence that I would have flights with Fly2Fun. I told her everyone had told me 48 hours and nothing ever happened. She said she had “someone” she would elevate this to, and voila, about 24 hours later my flights were ticketed. I wasn’t wanting to upgrade, I just wanted to know I had a way home. I hope this works out for you! I feel your pain.

The omelette looks much better!

Following. I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruises!

Buy 6 get 1 free.

When I have been on the Pride and Splendor recently, the coffee card was buy 6 get 1 free. Perfect for a 7 day cruise.

I have also been in 1A cabins without portholes, and find that having the port hole brightens things up quite a bit. They’re a great find for solos especially.

Is the upcoming cruise also on Panorama? I ask because I have a 1A with portholes booked on an upcoming Panorama cruise and wonder whether I’ll have the same good luck as you have.

Yes, it would be refunded.

I hope you’re having a great flight home, Greg. Thank you so much for the outstanding live review. My DH is originally from Brooklyn and still has family there, so we go to NYC from time to time, but we have never been to many of the places you visited. You made NYC come alive! Thanks.

The last two cruises I was on, both Carnival Splendor, they had many trivia’s each day, probably 6-7. Unfortunately they were giving pendants as prizes, no ships on sticks. They cited supply chain issues and said they were “out” of ships on sticks. However, at special events hosted by the CD, ships on sticks were given out as prizes.

Are you going straight to the airport, or doing more sightseeing in NYC?

A wise decision!

Looks delicious!

I would take the OV midship for $56 in a heartbeat.

I always order my Guy’s Burgers with no fries.

Anytime between now and November 5th. You won’t be notified, so just go into your planner periodically and check to see whether your cabin has been assigned.

It probably had to do with the brawls we have read about lately. My favorite pet peeve lately with more families onboard is children running through the ship without regard for elderly people using canes and walkers. Sometimes it looks like a recipe for disaster.

You found it! Great!

I haven’t been to NYC since the pandemic. What’s the going price of hot dogs at the corner stands?

Once on-line check-in is open, you will select your arrival time. That isn’t the same as boarding time. Boarding varies and you won’t know till you’re at the terminal, checked in and sitting in the waiting room.

Yes, technically if you bring the actual wine bottle into the MDR they’re supposed to charge the corkage fee.

On a recent Splendor cruise, we poured wine from the bottle into an empty water bottle and took it into the dining room, stopping along the way to ask a bar attendant for an empty wine glass. We were discreet about pouring the wine from water bottle to glass, and nothing was said.

I have recently been on the Pride and Splendor and they gave $25.00 cash from the casino cage. It could be used in the casino, but doesn’t have to be. You can keep it if you want.

Cove balconies are very popular, in part because being on deck 2 they are closer to the water than higher balconies. It’s not bad being under the restaurant, but avoid being under the galley. The restaurant itself is carpeted and not in operation during the time people are normally sleeping, but not so with the galley.

There is no comparison!
