What questions are on this?  It’s been awhile since I’ve cruised. Friend is going with us this time and has recently had covid and recovered

My daughter is on this cruise also. She just texted that the tanker that was to fuel them up didn’t have enough so they had to wait. They are just now leaving

The ships are the Sunshine out of port Canaveral and the Conquest out of Ft Lauderdale

Thanks for the info. And thanks for the help about the beaches at these ports

I need some help from people who have been to ports Ive never been to. We are looking at the differences between the 8 day March 4 out of port canaverl the goes to Aruba, Curacao and Grand Turk or the 8 day March 18 out of Ft Lauderdale that goes to the same three places but adds a beach in The Dominican Republic (I think maybe La Ramona). In your opinion would it be worth the extra money ($300 or so) to add one extra stop? Never been to any of the ports so I hope someone can also tell me how close are nice beaches to the dock. Thanks

This is the link from Carnival's website. They have different ones the ones I have previously ordered. http://www.carnival.com/FunShops/in-room-beverages/liquor#size=10000

We made plans to leave port canaveral on February 15.my question is we are driving thru Daytona on I 95 on February 14 to cocoa beach and just realized that the bud shoot out is that weekend and the Daytona 500 is the Sunday we come home. How bad will the traffic be? Is there a better way to get thru? Any suggestions?

My daughter and son in law were not 21 on our first cruise and the lettering on the sail and sign card was turned long ways instead of the regular way. My son in law turned twenty one the second day of the cruise but they wouldn't change it.

We had this on our last cruise and the card they gave us that was just for a key was a different color so there was no way to mix up cards as to which one was sign and sail and which was key only.

Thank you for the review. It was very helpful. I am pretty sure we are going to do this trip in Feb.

Sorry I haven't been back to cc in a few days. Thanks for all the replies. I'm pretty sure we are going to do this cruise in Feb. I like that there are more similarities than differences. Also, thanks for the tip about Marti Gras. We did get stuck in some traffic of the parade as few years ago.

Thank You for all. We are definitely going to give NCL a try. Just trying to do as much research as I can before hand.

Thank You so much. I really like having that available in my room

So far my family and friends have only been on carnival. We are looking at a cruise on NCL out of New Orleans in Feb 2015. The ports are Belize, Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya. I would like any tips that would help us in going from carnival to NCL. Such as if I bring wine do I pay any fees if all I do is drink it in my room. On carnival I can order a bottle of Whiskey to be waiting in my room from their bon voyage dept. Does NCL have anything comparable.

Any other comparision and tips will be appreciated.

We have no problem with Carnival its just the places and dates for this particular cruise. Thanks

I posted this on NCL too. Only one response that was a little helpful with the Bon voyage type liquor. Told to check the FAQ page. I have read through a lot of it but it gets a bit confusing as to how it compares to Carnival. Since I've been on five Carnival Cruises it all I have to compare too. I'm hoping my Carnival friends can help me with more comparisons.

I just checked and Southwest has some pretty cheap flights the same day. If you happen to have problems with the one. Keep their number with you as well and maybe you can jump to them if it means getting you to Miami on time.

If you are leaving this weekend or early next week be sure to give yourself time for traffic tie ups due to Mardi Gras. We leave Monday so I plan on leaving hotel fairly early just in case.

You are correct Thommy Boy. I didn't realize they had removed the upcharge for solo cruising so wasn't sure why my PVP put us in 4 rooms. He is a new PVP to me as my old one no longer works there. I really liked this new guy though. He was trying to do whatever he could to get me a cheaper rate. If my husband and I were in the same room it worked out to 379 pp but with the way he did it because then we qualified for some on board credit it works out to only 339 pp. Sorry if it hurts solo cruisers later but Carnival really should realize that they could have used those cabins differently if they would have made it the same price either way.

That's what I said. I guess if we get in argument we will still have a place to sleep. Who am I kidding we never argue. I guess we will just have to find something else to do there :D

I booked yesterday for a cruise that leaves March 3. My husband and I and a couple that we have cruised with several times. When I called I was trying to get as good of a deal as I could and my new PVP (have never used before but my previous one no longer there) told me that there was a special right now that if I booked two rooms I would get two rooms free. Don't really need two rooms since it is just my husband and I but the rate was cheaper. Now I have four rooms and each of us going has a room to ourselves that we are booked in at a rate that is not higher for solo rate.

My question is has anyone heard of this before? I don't want to get there and someone say we are going to be charged double since there is only one person in the room. It is only a week away and I paid everything in full plus gratuities up front. My confirmations show total paid in full. Should I do anything else?

There is a recipe on the side of the bottle for Guava Berry Colada's. It is wonderful. Wish you could bring me back some :D

Sorry that happened to you. One year some of my friends and I were planning a cruise and we were trying hard not to tell another friend. Nothing against that friend just didn't want a large crowd going with us that time. Well the cruise before that friend had booked after us and used my PVP so she could link us for dinner. Well she saved her email for the confirmations. This next time when we were trying for her not to find out all our booking information was sent to that friend. Neither I nor my PVP had thought about it being changed. Needless to say guess who went on the cruise.
