Does Carnival have a loyalty reciprocity program between it’s sister companies where you get the highest level benefits from the line you have cruised the most ( like between RCCL, Celebrity and Azamara)? I am going on my 3rd Carnival cruise but have cruised more times on Princess and Holland America.

On a Sunday to Sunday (7 night) cruise are you charged for 8 days of Voom as you would be on the ship parts of 8 days?

So if I purchase a 3 device Voom plan, all 3 of us in the cabin can be on 1 device at the same time. We would shut off our cell phone (planning on using wifi in airplane mode) to be able to use iPad? 
Am I better off buying the plan ahead than waiting until day 2 and buying onboard using Diamond discount? What is price of 3 device plan if purchased onboard?

I called Uniworld and found out that the Peles Castle tour is 79€ and that you cannot use onboard credit as it is considered a local pre cruise tour not actually during the cruise. I have a lot of onboard credit that I fear I will not be able to use since Uniworld is “all inclusive “! Not happy!

Can anyone tell me the price of Uniworld ‘s extra cost Peles Castle tour out of Bucharest?

Happy Cruising!

Wow this is crazy! I hope everyone is all right. I was just off the Escape on Sunday! I have friends on the Anthem, but haven't seen them post anything yet.

Hi Alyssa, 

Hope you made it home safely to your little one. I’m sure he was glad to see you! Sure am glad  we missed this storm! A few hours surely made a difference. Wow!

PS - We sat with you at the Meet & Great.

Just got off the Escape and was quite disappointed that the lunch menu in Taste and Savor did not change all week. Didn’t even have daily specials. For those of us who avoid going to the Garden Cafe buffet ( “Kick & Scratch”) the menu became boring!

Each night’s dinner for the three nights we went to the supper club were different. On the night we went to see the Golden Octives they served roast beef which was some of the best we had ever had anywhere. The other two nights we didn’t eat there, only attending the show but what they served ( kebab one night and chicken) looked good.

Until the end of March it looks like Choir of Man will be at 7:30 and 10pm on Monday and Saturday.

Trying to make dinner reservations for Escape cruise and would like to work around shows. What nights and times is the Choir of Man Show now in the theater?

As the original poster I just wanted to know the policy. Sometimes cruise line extend privileges to family occupying the same cabin. Wouldn’t even think about sneaking in! Will use our 3 credited drinks when she is with us! Everyone  worked too hard at Cruising to have to deal with crashers!

My DH and I are both Diamond and are planning to cruise on the Anthem with our adult daughter in our cabin. She is a past RCL passenger but is not up to Diamond. Will she be able to accompany us to the Diamond lounge since she is in our cabin on the same reservation?

Thank you,

Happy cruising!

Which Escape aft balcony cabin #9920 or 9922 has the bed by the slider?

Where do you see “pending” on your offer? Is it in the same place on your bid page where I see “review your offer”?

What accounts for the difference in cabin availability shown on NCL ( for a February sailing) and on large online travel company websites? NCL is showing they are sold out of almost all categories and the onliners are showing cabins that are bookable.

Thank you duetting. I have scoured their website and I cannot find Bucharest hotel mentioned in the Bucharest to Budapest Itinerary. Where did you find it mentioned?

Sailing on the River Duchess in May and am trying to make pre-cruise plans. Any idea what hotel Uniworld uses in Bucharest ?

That's only on the larger screens. On the mobile version, the search is generic and runs across all the boards. 

I always use my IPad. I used to be able to search a specific location but now as stated by POA1, the search is now generic! Unacceptable! I am not going to use my full sized notebook!

I find the new Format on these boards to be very lacking. Where is the search capability in each cruise line list of topics? If I search in the box upper right it searches everywhere (other cruise lines). Give me a search feature for the board I want to search whether it be a cruise line, Port of Call or other.The old format was quick and easy to navigate! Please return to it!
