She does have joint custody (sorry if I put full legal) they live with her full time and would only got visit him 1x week and 1 weekend a month...but they have not seen him in a few months.

She has their BC and the 17 yr old got her passport last year. I am afraid she does not have the "non-custodial parent consent". Yeah, I hope a judge can issue then an order so they can book and stop stressing.

There is custodial and physical. She needs to know if she has both. If she does, then he doesn't need to sign anything, just notify him in writing usually 90 days before departure that they plan on leaving the country. Each state has a different timeline of when it needs to be in writing before departure.

That sounds like he changed his name it rymes lol. Figures they have a good CD and change it right before I am on board

It is actually Phil De Vill Liebenberg the De Vill is just a shortened name

Current CD on the Breeze is Butch.

Butch is not the current CD.

He left this past Saturday to go to the Sunshine.

The CD that is now on board and will be there for a few months is a fellow name Phil "Deville".

The Breeze this past week didn't have a passengers off until around 9:30.

I would always plan for a later flight. That way, too, you would have time to change it if things were behind anywhere in the transporation of getting off, getting to the airport, etc.

They do that to spread out the traffic of incoming people. Just get there whenever you want. Delete the email and disregard the message on the phone. Unless it is a text message that says there is a delay because of fog or something major. DISREGARD and do what you want!

We have 2 different rooms and 7 people. I have asked that our booking be joined and that we are seated together. When I sign into my Carnival account, our bookings are on the same page, so I am guessing we will all be together.

I know the Matre'D ( as what I was told previously,) but how is it determined on where you sit in the dining room. We do the 6:00 p.m. dining and have been at the window or a table next to the window-which I love.

How is it determined. Just curious. I wouldn't change with where we are given, but was just a curiosity question.

everyone is saying mixed things about getting NON alcoholic drinks on the cheers program.

IT says sodas and also frozen cocktails are included. does that mean NON alcoholic frozen cocktails too? My husband wants it and will drink a decent amount since we are on vacation but I will maybe have a drink or two but would drink the rest as a non alcoholic daquiri, etc.

is NON alcoholic FROZEN drinks included in the unlimited

Yes, you can see it and the other price. go to more option/more prices. it is confusing and hard to pick up because of how each set up is, but it is all there.

We just figured it out, but is it really a pain in the butt

Yes, you walk through a scanner like the one you would find at an airport. You also have your bags scanned through the same type of xray machine.

It is tight security. Ideal though

They usually have an open house from 12-2 or 1-3 on embarkation day. I always take the paper work then, and skip the meeting.

bingo!

Thank you! I was wondering if this was an option.

I wouldn' tmind the later meeting but we like to be at our 6 pm dinner the first night all together.,

Thanks!1

so i can turn it in ahead of time when we board and then go to the informational meeting after the muster drill. That is around dinner time so I was just trying to figuer it all out. Thank you for the help! :-)

I have a quick question since this is the first time we are bringing our kids.

I have printed out the forms online for the kids camp registrations.

Once we get on board, do we go to each camp and do the paperwork or when do we go to sign the kids up? We have early dinner- 6 PM and I do not want to have to leave dinner to get up and do registration.

We are on the Breeze in 2 and half weeks.

Does anyone know how this all works, especially since I have 2 kids in 2 different areas. Is there a set time or can I go whenever?

I'm about to pay for our onboard tips using points from the Carnival Barclay credit card. What I DON't LIKE about the card is that if you have a problem with a purchase, they will only help with a dispute if it was bought in your home state or within 100 miles of your address, and a few others stipulations.doesn't help me AT ALL with a recent online purchase, especially since I live in rural Montana where anything is at least 60 miles away.

 

Lesson learned, all online purchases will be made with American Express. They have great customer service.

We got our AMEX through Costco. We don't have to pay an annual fee for the AMEX, we get 1-3% back on every single purchase, we pay it off monthly, you still get your Costco rewards check on top of your AMEX card, and it's amazing!

We have around $275 coming back from Costco so far from the last 11 months worth of purchases which will pay the $105 membership fee, plus give us around $170 back. Then since we out our bills on our AMEX monthly and pay if off every month before any interest hits the card, we make money back with the 1-3% on all purchase and so far we are almost at $800. We will get our payout check in February which will pay for our hardwood to go in 3 rooms at our house. We love it! :) highly recommend it for those that can pay off monthly and maintain their cards before any interest or fees hit. We love it and it's actual a great way to save up for things such as our home improvements!

I love my "pre-breakfast breakfast" via room service of a fresh fruit plate with a toasted bagel and cream cheese, accompanied by a carafe of coffee and orange juice. Enjoyed either on my balcony, or in bed - with the curtains wide open to let the sunshine in to fill the cabin. Pure decadence.

 

I can then leisurely get ready to face the world and decide on "real breakfast" :)

We do the exact same thing!!

There is no longer a charge for name changes, even if booked Early Saver.

This change took place about a month ago.

:)

I don't think the website from POM is current. We are cruising on the Breeze in 6 weeks and we aren't going to Nassau. We are going to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

I wish we went back to our other itinerary, but we aren't as of today

It is werid that they would make it non-refundable.

Why would they have to put down a deposit if they possibly can't get on the cruise would be my question.

Not sure why they wouldn't call when it would be available down the list adn then have them pay in full on spot?

Good luck.

Yeah, and that means?

Site is still being crazy. OH well, I was planning on trying to book another cruise for next year. When they say more family stuff, I was thinking somethign exciting, so I am hoping for that!

Announcement is happening NOW on the splendor

Are you on the splendor to know?

Carnival site is down and I am trying to stay tuned also.

no warm chocolate melting cake?

Fish and Chips

Above the back buffet!!

IT is SO good!!

Wow! you guys are awesome! Thank you for sharing the information. It was really helpful!

I am also shocked.

The color scheme on the Freedom is what I think could make it look "dated" but it isn't that old. It had it's first sailing in 2007.

We loved the Freedom and will be excited with the dry dock is over so we can head back out on her! :-)

Morning!

Can someone please explain to me what the deal is with the Breakfast in the MDR's versus Brunch ( is it at the Punchliners club?)

When we have previously sailed, we would get a really early delivery of a few items from room service then go to the MDR for some Eggs Benedict, waffle, pancakes, whatever. We LOVE the MDR breakfast and how you can pick your seat, sit by the big windows and enjoy the seas!

Can we still do that daily?

OR, what is the Brunch in the Punchliners club?

I am trying to figure this all out and explain it to my parents since this is their first sailing.
