We are booked in an OS cat on the Mardi Gras. It looks like most of the perks available with the "faster to the fun" plan are available with the OS category booking. I am mainly asking about that ability to go to our cabin upon embarkation to drop off our carry-on bags then go exploring. Also wondering about the expedited delivery of our luggage. Can anyone share some experience regarding this topic?

Yeehaaaw After allowing my Diet Coke loving wife get all the spoils of cruising for the last million years, I am looking forward to drawing in Diet Pepsi next Summer. I just hope the Carnival/Pepsi contract lasts through next June!!! LOL

We are sailing on the Symphony 6/4 out of Miami got the call, text last night that she will be delayed and are now sailing on Sunday. We anticipated this possibility and just extended our stay at the Doubletree Biscayne Bay an additional night. to answer additional questions….. Yes, they are honoring our COVID pre cruise tests, no need to re-test. We are missing Coco Cay as that was our stop on Sunday, however the messages stated they were trying really hard to reschedule the stop for later in the cruise to stay tuned. We are getting an on board credit for the cost of the day, any beverage/internet packages etc as well as any excursions paid for from Coco Cay. If we don’t use the full credit any additional will be refunded to us. We are looking at it as a positive. In that the over-worked crew will have a day to catch their breath and recharge batteries, our cabins should be available when we board and we are on vacation. Now to try and find something to do for the day in Miami that is INDOORS with our very active 7 year old!

Staying at the Doubletree Friday night before boarding the Symphony on Saturday. My 7 year old is a baseball nut so we got Marlins tickets for Friday night. Is there a simple way to get there using public transportation or would Uber/Lyft be the easiest method?

We are trying to decide between the two for our upcoming June cruise. Our main interests are the Monkey/sloths and snorkeling does anyone have any experience or recommendations??
