  1. Don't buy on, but doesshe depart New Orleans on the 3/24/2024 in route to drydock?
  2. Thanks, since boughtFTTF for my two upcoming cruises.
  3. I read that if the key cards are in the slot, you can stay, is this true?
  4. I too have a dozen cruises with Carnival. My last one before the shutdown was in the summer of 2018, (I had to cancel my one for 2019 due to health problems.) Things had begun to change even before the shutdown but since the shutdown, the quality has declined just like in every industry. But this being said it is important to point out that the prices at least for me are less than the pre-pandemic cruises. I took two cruises last year-one in June and the other right before Thanksgiving. Together they cost about the same as my 2018 cruise. I have two booked for this year one on the Glory in June for a balcony room for three for a base price of $1900 and the second one duringThanksgiving cruise of the Spirit for a base price of $2000 for three. I do not expect the quality to be the same at the lower prices. Things I have noticed that are different are the production shows are totally different with only a handful of performers, longer wait times while at the table in the main dining room, and generally lower-quality food. (although we still find good food. )
  5. birth certificates do not have to be notarized. Some states have embossed seals others do not. Make sure it is a real state-issued official birth certificate.
  6. I agree, getting a birth certificate isn't that complicated. For me, when I buy a cruise, I make sure I have my documents in order long before sailing.
  7. I have known it to work for others. I have relatives born in Texas and once they order one online and it came in a few days to another state
  8. If you are going to consider buying some expensive jewelry- buy some internet time to check some prices. I personally, buy a few of the $5.00 plastic watches.
  9. I often stay in hotels with coffee makers but rarely use them since it is it is not that much trouble to walk down to the lobby/cafe' to get a fresh cup. I know that P&O ships have kettles for their tea-loving guest so it comes down to what the passengers demand.
  10. If you want to try to board together then use the latest time.
  11. Right now buying Carnival stock is a gamble-people do gamble every day.
  12. Personally. the cabana would be enough to keep my family entertained for the day-sand, floats, water, loungers, AC, and food.
  13. You are right, please take five minutes and read the FAQ, or even the contact for those who are really interested. (I think this is the first time Behoove has been used on this site.)
  14. Yes, on most Carnival cruises leaving from a US port and returning to the same port.
  15. Enhanced soda drinks depend on the bartender and how busy the bar is. They are of no interest to me but over my cruises, various bartenders have dressed up sodas for my child but usually, they were one not too busy and looking for an extra tip.
  16. No, this is not true most birth certificates do say, "Certificate of Live Birth." I have worked in the school system for many years and have viewed birth certificates from all over the world. The Key issue is whether are not it is issued by a proper government agency.
  17. That must have been an old review-
  18. Parking is always at a premium in New Orleans. Most hotels near the port charge fees for parking so I do not know any that include free parking for a cruise. Some will allow you to park but it will probably cost more than the terminal parking. So we just park at the terminal.
  19. I hope that the family would take whatever steps they can to get it fixed now before it causes more problems in the future. I do now in my state after a year it would require a court order (and legal fees.)
  20. It is not clear even with the added ships if Carnival can recover from the deep hole they (we, since I am a 100 share owner). I hope recovery is possible but I have been saying for three years we may eventually have Royal Carnival. With this said Carnival does have a good product and I am hopeful but I did buy my stock at $30.00 a share so I am down. (Thankfully I have gotten dividends and onboard credit over the years to help offset my loss)
  21. I am not sure why NA beer is excluded from carry-on but a few weeks ago I was at a store and the gentleman ahead of me in his forties was not allowed to buy NA beer since he didn't have his driver's license.
  22. It depends on the policy and what you need to be covered. It a hurricane pops up then all policy sales stop but in normal conditions, you can buy some policies up until sailing- with certain restrictions.
  23. In my experience, they do enforce at least some rules. I wasn't allowed to get ice cream without a shirt on even though the ice cream was barely in the door past Guys. My child was not even allowed to walk through the serenity area to get to the shortcut to our spa cabin.
  24. Didn't they restore the bootles of boozes? It is listed for my June cruise.
