We are supposed to be leaving on the Breeze on Saturday out of Port Canaveral. Hoping the storm will not affect the trip much.  At least the ship will be heading to the west, so we just need to get around the Florida east coast.

Thank you for all the responses. I appreciate the advise.

Yes, we have used duplicate hotel room keys or casino cards in the past. That way each person doesn't have to hunt for the person that has the key.

Ok - this may be a dumb question. I know you can use old credit cards or hotel room keys as the card key for the room safe and that you can have multiple cards if they have the same account number programmed on them. My question is, has anyone used a non activated gift card (like the blank ones at Walmart/Target) as a safe key and have you been able to use multiple ones to give to each person in the cabin?

We love our Tervis Tumblers. We order them from the Tervis website and personalize them for different activities that we have done on the cruise. This cup represents the cruise we did a dolphin excursion. I use these cups everyday. They are a daily reminder of the fun we had while on the cruise. I put them in the dishwasher with no problems.

My daughter and her friend wore their prom dresses for formal night when I took them on their graduation cruise. The loved dressing up in them for a second time and definitely did not look out of place. Tell her she will be perfectly fine dressed up.

We just had a family member that wanted to join our cruise on the Legend in May. We called Sunday and were actually able to book her into the adjoining cabin next to ours for nearly the same as moving all of us to a quad cabin!!

I've stayed in a regular balcony room and a Ocean suite on the legend. I loved the suite for the extra space in the room and the actual bath tub, but for an extra $620...I don't know if I would have taken it either. We had great service in both rooms, so I didn't see much difference as far as that went.

Just a heads up to anyone that is looking to sail on the Legend on the May 25th sailing...Cabin 6232 with that nice long balcony looks like it has become available. This is a quad cabin. I would switch to that cabin, but I have to stay next to the group I'm sailing with. Just thought I'd let someone else know in case they are interested.

I use my Carnival Card as my corporate purchase card for all my travel/purchases for my work. We aren't issued corporate cards. Work pays the bill and I get the points. The owner is ok with this, so I feel I get a bonus every time I get to redeem points! :)

That should be adult. Sorry

I have done this twice. It takes a little research and playing with the online booking. Figure out where you would like to be on the ship and look at the deck plans. Then go through the steps as if you are booking individual cabins (not both at the same time). We did have to book an fault in each booking but go to Guest Services as soon as we are on board and have the SS cards changed.

Drews Wife...I have seen your posts regarding the dresses you have ordered from the lady on ebay. How long does it typically take to get the dress once you have ordered it? I am very tempted to order one, but am waiting for her to have a sale. It sounds like you are happy with the quality of the dresses.

You might consider looking for a dress at Dillards. :)

I wish I could. The nearest Dillards is a couple hours away from us. I still have time and I'm sure I'll do a road trip to go shopping at some point before the cruise. My daughter is counting on it!

Here is the dress I bought this evening. It's actually pretty simple. It's just a polyester and should pack well. I'm still going to look for another one - just because ;) - Thanks again!

Thank you to everyone that replied to my question earlier today. I appreciate the input. I actually stopped by my Ross this evening and found a grey dress for $25. I'll post a pic as soon as I get one uploaded.

LiveWell - YES I absolutely plan on being one of the girls.:) I went on my first cruise "with the girls" last year and absolutely loved it. I think we are making it an annual get away. The shopping an planning for the cruise is so much fun too!

Sorry - the upload didn't work quite right before.

Hi Ladies! I stumbled across this page last night and couldn't stop reading. I had to revisit it this morning. I am taking my 2nd cruise in May on the Carnival Legend as a celebration for my daughter graduating high school. This will be a girls only cruise. :p We are planning on wearing long evening gowns at least one of the formal nights. We will have my daughter's best friend with us and she will have to miss her Sr prom, so we are trying to make up for it. I have plenty of cocktail dresses but no long formals. I found one on ebay that I am considering. Would you mind giving me your opinion? Is it ok for a cruise for a 40 something mom with her daughter? - Thanks!
