What time has everyone had good luck earliest boarding Paradise in Tampa? Flight arrives at 6am. Not sure if I should find something for us to do around Tampa and wait until noon or if we will wait in long embarkation process?

What time do they start boarding the first group to get on regularly?

How long have you waited with FTTF vs just normal wait?

Group of 21-27 year olds going in next few weeks. Looking for a AI beach day with nice white beach and "clearer" water if possible.

Group that likes to drink and have a little more party atmosphere than family.

Recommendations?

From what was going on during my last cruise...no one was getting cut off, even then ones puking all over the pool deck, even the ones canon balling into the pool on top of children, even the ones with the titty bong, insisting everyone use it with them, even the ones doing the striptease during the hair chest contest (apparently they miss understood what hair was being judged):eek:...lol

I saw many people sharing a card because by 10am they had already had their daily limit. Granted, the program was very new and had just opened up for this ship...hopefully they have a handle on it now because it was reminding me of why carnival used to have such a bad reputation.

Don't get me wrong, if you are a responsible drinker, it is actually a good program but the staff really needed to be a bit more trained for the events that took place.

Well sh@#! I need to sign up for more cruises you go on if thats what you all manage to get into! :)

They just updated this on the TA's site which now says $49.95 + gratuity and still says 15 drink limit in a 24hr period.

 

Applicable state & local taxes will be applied if purchased within US waters.

Here if Florida, that would be another 6% so I am waiting until late that evening to purchase.

so the price has officially increased again? last i saw it was 42.95 + 15% = 49.99 per day total.

:(

I apologize for asking a question that may have already been answered, but for the instance of saving the time of reading up on nearly 470 pages, ill just ask again.

We are cruising over this coming Christmas and new years holidays. My father walks with crutches and suffers from CP, so we were able to get him our beloved Louie, a German Shepard service dog. When we got through the Hospital and another organization here in town, we were given him, with some basic instruction paperwork and his sets of vests and a patch, but no certification card or certification paperwork or anything.

I was looking online to try and see what documentation Carnival would need from us. Can anyone provide any insight as too if we need to send them Doctors letters confirming dads disability? Or will we need to contact the organization to try and obtain his certification papers?

Any help is always appreciated!
