Oh mine too, I want to drink with B!😊 I hate when the bars on Carnival don't have coffee machines and I have to pay twice for my drink, shots of espresso and then the actual drink, cause yeah, I don't drink enough to do Cheers. But I did find these on Amazon and now I always throw a bunch in a tupperware container. Not exactly fresh espresso, but they work great, bartenders were intrigued lol. Plus decaf so multiples before bed aren't a problem.😁 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GH6CJNZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You're so chill, to say that it must really be bad lol, but the few pics were beautiful. That's what I always imagine when I picture Greece. I'm there next year, but no Santorini. I'm was glad I'm not going just because I couldn't stand to see the poor donkeys, and now first hand experience from you and Megan. Hope the rest of your ports are great.

Hey there, loving your review, will be on Venezia for NYE…loving all the interior pics.👍🏻 So I still have my Carnival sling, all shiny and new, straps intact 😁, would be glad to pop it in the mail. It’s just been sitting in the closet. Let me know. 🛳️

Do you cruise Princess? I can't remember - but fyi they are running a special on some cruises, only $99 refundable deposit. I booked Norway for 2026, figure if it doesn't work out, can just cancel, because even that cruise already had limited availability. Loving your review and pictures as always!

Just finished - glad you got a break Sid, but this non-Sid review was great! Honestly, you could hire some of these posters as ghost writers the next time you don't want to do a review.😝

ooh, looking forward to that!

Ok, thanks, good to know. Yes, all that is the same with Carnival, sometimes its easier to just let it ride if its only getting me like $20 savings lol

So excited, although never thought I'd be booking for 2026 already lol. But found a round trip out of Southampton to Iceland and Norway, exactly what I've been looking for, so jumped on it - a website I saw already listed it at limited availability. Princess is offering refundable $99 deposit so no brainer. Anyway, I know sometimes Princess runs specials with a discount on the second passenger. Since I'm paying as a solo, does Princess let you adjust your rate if something better comes along? tia

Glad to see another of your reviews! Your comment brought back a memory when I was snorkeling in front of the El Presidente Hotel in Coz. I had just been drifting along and all of a sudden a barracuda swam up from under me and bit the head off the fish that had been swimming in front of me! WOW. Talk about a shock...couldn't backswim fast enough lol! Luckily he was only interested in the fish, and I watched the back half of the body drift down to the bottom leaving swirls of red behind...tried to get pics, but that was back in the day of the cheap disposable water cameras, so didn't really get any good ones. But I still remember...got out of the water pretty quick cause I wasn't quite sure if anything else would be attracted to the blood in the water.😜 You should try to use fins, they help a lot when the water is more rough. You can get little travel ones which are great for space saving in luggage and they work just as well as full size ones.😊

My all time favorite is New Moon with salted rim. Bog Juice is good for a change of pace, it’s a bit sweeter and has the tapioca pearls. so jealous…enjoy!

Love Mardi Gras! Fortune Teller is da 💣😍!

I have Australia booked for the summer...don't have Port Douglas, but we are stopping at Cairns and Airlie Beach. Sorry you can't access descriptions, but these at least give you an idea of possibilities.🌞 Airlie Beach Shore Excursions _ Tours & Activities _ Carnival Cruise Line.pdf Cairns Shore Excursions _ Tours & Activities _ Carnival Cruise Line.pdf

But don't forget if you buy Cheers, its included.

As Poly said, but make sure you are not logged in. If you look while you are logged in, it will just take you to the excursions for any cruises already booked.

I personally wasn't impressed when I did the Chef's Table on Mardi Gras...I think it was the second sailing. Wanted to try it since it was a new menu, but I didn't feel it was worth the price then, especially since we got Cupcake wine. Definitely can't see paying $150.

Is this an official government stamp? Just curious if anyone has actually had problems having souvenir stamps. I always hear you can get in trouble, but others say its fine. I just never took a chance since it does state in the US passport only authorized government officials are allowed to leave any mark.

I recommend going over to that other site and look for the group page for your specific sailing, search for 'Carnival Horizon September 27, 2025'...or similar wording. Lots of info can be found there and its fun, you can chat with folks that will be on your sailing. Usually meet & greets are planned, bar crawl, etc. (Although it is a bit far out yet, if you don't find anything, a page might not have been started yet.)

Right? I've said that for years. I'm easy - even just a few bottles of wine at dinner would be fine, just something to acknowledge us solos. And yes, you can hold your Diamond dinner - I waited until I was going on Celebration to use it at Rudi's, which they added for the excel ships.

I have Verizon too. I've used the $10 day pass all over Europe, Japan, Australia, never had any problems and was charged appropriately. I usually walk a lot in the ports and its great for google maps and directions. You'll get a text stating when your 24 hrs starts. You can go into your account and look, it might already be set up. I used to have to request it, but now its already there when I check before a trip. Always helpful to know its there if you had to turn your phone on for an emergency.

By steakhouse paper, do you mean the letter you get? It was on my bed when I boarded. Just go inquire when you board. I refused to pay and get refunded, so just waited to walk up. I did a b2b when I turned Diamond and ended up with a Diamond offer on each cruise, so just walked up both times - no issues. And you don't have to use it immediately, I waited to use them on Celebration because you can do Rudi's Seagrill too.

One thing I find that seems to help me when feeling a bit off on a cruise is Gatorade. Replaces salt etc from all the sweating and just helps rehydrate. Helps the morning after too.🍹 😝 Last ship I was on had a green cucumber/melon which was good. Love the story of mom coming to check on you in her jammies.😂

I'm supposed to do B2B2B in August - Singapore to Sydney, then Great Barrier Reef cruise and then New Caledonia. Just not sure if I'll be able to go with my dog and her issues. Haven't paid anything yet but the AU$ deposits, which were super cheap, like US$68. So not a huge loss if I don't go. I'll be solo too. I took notes just in case, thanks for sharing.

That doesn't always work. TV on Mardi Gras went into sleep mode after a bit.

I just loved the view out my balcony - completely different than seeing Caribbean islands! They do. My cruise had lectures and then 2 park rangers got on for the day of glacier cruising. They were on the shipwide intercom from the bridge and talked us thru the area we were in, letting us know where wildlife has been spotted etc. Another fun thing is people will just park in chairs facing the windows and spend hours there with binoculars. You will love it.

I went to one that was a wine tasting. Everyone crawling brought their local wine and it was set up in the first cabin.
