  1. I have one booked January 2020 to the Panama Canal. I started in just an inside, but the opportunity came to get one of the L shaped cabins and I jumped on it. It did cost about $1650 more, and normally I would not spend that much. It is thanks to some mandatory overtime at work that I decided we could make it work, plus final payments is about a year and a half away.

  2. We already tried to go this route. There IS a Cove balcony available in a little better location, but in order for him to be moved there he would need to pay an upgrade fee of $169 per person (because now he is picking his cabin rather than being a BL). Just seems like it would be an easy fix to try to appease a new cruiser, but the supervisor didn't see it that way :(

     

     

     

    Carnival is doing nothing wrong. If cabin placement is important to you, then you pay for it. If you book a guarantee cabin, you are getting the discounts that come with saying I really don’t care where I am. Like you said, he wants a better location. That is an upgrade, so he needs to pay for the upgrade.

  3. I would make sure if you go to set up boundaries. Grandma will watch baby X number of hours in a day, but the parents have to do the rest of it. People tend to take advantage of the grandparents as free babysitters, and as much as you may like your grandchildren, its your vacation too and you deserve time to do what you want sans baby.

  4. I have an 8 year old. I know sharing isn't allowed but how big a deal is it to slip my kid a milkshake?

     

     

     

    According to the rules, you can’t. If they catch you they could take away the program. Is it likely?...no. But they would be within their rights to do it. I personally wouldn’t care as long as you didn’t make it obvious.

  5. My first ever cruise i was in connecting cabins (mine was an inside connecting to a balcony) in Alaska. Every single dang time they saw whales, or a bear etc it was on the opposite side of the ship. So even though we had some cool sea views, if we wanted the expansive views and wildlife we had to go up on deck anyways. The next time we went to Alaska we just got the inside. We spent the majority of our time on the serenity deck. Balcony not needed for us.
