poz222, so DW wouldn't be able to charge anything then? Or could guest services set her up to charge stuff on her own card?

I feel so stupid at times, apologies.

We just did same thing last month on the Glory! Just go to guest services and get room key! It will be no problem!!

Thank You ma'am. Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but how would we have Her charges not charged to my account though and DW's not being charged to his?

Convoluted question, but I assume someone here has experience

I know this is a somewhat common thing, but have no clue how it really works in regard to S&S accounts:

DW and I are booked in a few weeks with another couple. His wife and I drink plenty, but DW and he do not at all. I've heard of folks switching cabins for check in and to buy the package as a workaround to the "every adult in the cabin must buy it". (It was actually suggested to me by a PVP, but he couldn't explain it to my level of satisfaction).

I can understand that She and I would share a cabin and DW and Him would, but after His wife and I buy Cheers, wouldn't our S&S accounts have to both be in the same cabin. Is it as simple as going to guest services after the fact and switching rooms?

Disclaimer am NOT talking about "sharing amongst four people" (as I'm sure some will believe). DW is a teetotaler and He is a recovering alcoholic who hasn't touched a drop in just over four years.

TIA for any viable responses

Sounds reasonable

 

Wonder what they will do about liquor purchased at ports and held by them?

My GUESS is that they'll deliver it as well as they wouldn't want to set up the tables for pick up and also deliver.

How about 5 day cruises? Is it morning pickup then?

My theory (and it's only a SWAG) is that they'll do a comparison on amounts of gift shop liquor sold and bar business done before and after the delivery policy change, and then in a few months we'll see it delivered on shorter ones as well.

It's obvious that sales are down quite a bit, so now if the bar business done the last evening doesn't change too much, I think they'll deliver on the shorter ones too. If the business done at bars on the last evening takes a significant hit, then they may well go back to pickup on the longer ones as well.

Just my .02 worth

Thanks all for the input. FWIW, I went ahead and took the offer. Figured it would be a nice surprise for her birthday.

Just the Mrs and I in the room. It's a quick fall getaway for her birthday

My PVP called me

I told her I'd call her back (posted this here to get opinions rather than ask her (figured if the advice is "do it" it's a surprise, and if it's "don't", nothing lost)

Carnival Liberty 5 day sailing from 9284 Lido Balcony to 7322 Ocean Suite for $360

Thoughts?

Belize for me.....Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley (the pics didn't turn out as well as they should have because some jackwagon forgot to put the camera in underwater mode......it could have been me :o )

Here are a handful from that trip:

Hand feeding the tarpon

Lionfish

Moray Eel

Green Sea Turtle

Shark (one of MANY)

And rather than 50+ people that were on the ship excursions, we had four

We did Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan....was by FAR the best snorkeling excursion we've done

You can book it using all kids of sites, though I did it through shoreecursioneer

Lemme see if I can find some pics (that honestly don't do it any justice because someone forgot to set the camera to underwater mode).

 

Talk about in denial... :rolleyes:

Doesn't appear to me that HE is the one in denial.

Brilliantly done, Sir. Bookmarking this thread so I can easily find it to read the rest of your reviews.

Try Peat Taylor's tours you won't be disappointed.

Completely agree with this.

Last time we were in Jamaica we did DRF and Blue hole. We had a van for the four of us and got back about 45 minutes prior to when we had to board the ship.

Independent tour operators may be a bit more risky if you're worried about missing the ship, but that's how these folks make a living. They're not going to risk having parties miss the ship as all it would take is a few reviews of that happening and they would be out of business.

Yes they do and be prepared for the strong smell of greasy burgers on the lido deck. At times, it was very nauseating.

I'm of the same opinion. Before I ordered one, I recall thinking, "This joint smells like the back of a McDonalds drive through, but if these things are as good as everyone on critic says, I gotta get me one."

For the life of me can't see why people like them. I tried one and thought it was one of the worst burgers I had ever eaten, but figured maybe it was just a bad day for whoever was on the grill and after two bites left it. Tried again the next day thinking that this time it would be the magical experience everyone else seems to have and was disappointed again. I didn't make it past one bite (it isn't like it was going to get any better). I felt bad for having wasted two burgers, but I just couldn't do it.

I'm quite aware that they're immensely popular and that we all have different tastes, I just can't fathom why anyone would care for these and am shocked they're as popular as they are.

Not a fan. I didn't care for the last "upgrade" to their page, but this one takes it to a different level.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Last time we were there we did the Falls and Blue Hole with Peat Taylor.....highly recommend it.

Yes it was a bit of a drive, but we were back in plenty of time (roughly an hour or so prior to departure if I recollect correctly). I know we stopped at two separate places to grab a drink on the way back, so we weren't really pressed for time.

If one wanted, they could use a thing called cruise fish (delete the space and add a .net)

They'll monitor the parameters you set. It costs you something like $1 per cruise you set an alert for. It's saved me a few hundred bucks. I'm still waiting on a price drop for the three upcoming ones though :(

There really are no gold benefits....bottle of water and a drink coupon after 5pm on the last evening of the cruise.

We'll be there near the end of his stint. I'll get you some in January.

They were rude and inconsiderate.

I would certainly agree that SOMEONE was rude and inconsiderate, but I don't agree with which party it was.

Where is the quick check option? I usually go through and do a dummy booking - is there an easier way?

This is the one most folks are likely talking about

another way is cruise fish (take the space out of those last two words, add a "dot" and a com :)

Your best bet is to go to "The place that shall not be named" and request it of John Heald a week or so prior to departure.

Already have one booked on another line just to see if the grass on the other side is greener. Booked it kinda last minute (for me), but did it mainly due to the Carnival cutbacks I've seen just since I've been cruising (which hasn't been long).

Carnival certainly isn't loyal to me, why should I be to them?

I may be in the minority, but I hope Jen is on another ship before I get on Freedom next January. I've only cruised with a few, but she is by far the least favorite cruise director I've sailed with.
