And I find it laughable that those "stranded" on the Dream for additional days will be singing the praises of DCL and their communication. Of course they will, they got a longer vacation out of it! Much different perspective from those of us on the next sailing that had zero communication from Disney whilst waiting for a decision.

Absolutely appalled at Disney's lack of communication during this ordeal. They were still encouraging us to travel to the port when the Governor was pleading with residents to evacuate. I may not sail with Disney again even with the paltry discount they offered. :mad:

You cannot "fall" overboard. I really HATE when this is written, as it scares the heck out of people and probably keeps them from cruising.
Well, technically you CAN fall overboard but there's usually a lot of alcohol, stupidity or mental illness involved.If you sit on the rail or climb from one balcony to another then you'll most likely fall. But I agree with you that reporting isn't descriptive so non-cruisers understand that. I think they're overly-cautious about reporting a suicide or potential crime.

We bought a GeekPro on Amazon. Comes with a ton of accessories and uploads wirelessly to my phone. Fraction of the price of a GoPro!

How nice that Jim Walker is trying to blame the cruise line for not having a man overboard detection system.
Every incident that guy brings up the MOB system! [emoji35] I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to pay for these systems in way of an increased fare.

Nice job by CNN. I don't think the picture is the Liberty.
Hee hee!

Do you know if there was a partition between 5346 and 5347? We are traveling with others and would love to open up into a big balcony.
Stayed in 5347. There was a door in the balcony partition that looked like it could be open. But the partition itself is triangular shaped and most narrow near the railing. So if we stood there we could see and talk to our neighbors next to us. (Not very private).

Looking forward to the rest of your review.
This post is a year old, I think they finished their review. [emoji6]

We have four cruises booked on 3 different lines including Oasis of the Seas for Thanksgiving 2016.
We love Carnival but I agree the prices are steadily increasing and we aren't as focused on "getting to platinum". We liked Freedom of the Seas but my kids missed the water slides from the Carnival ships.

Not me! It's neither relaxing nor inviting to have those wild design elements in your face.
I guess I'm part of the "new wave of younger cruisers" because I prefer spa-like and subtle. Maybe it's because I don't want to angle every picture I take to avoid a giant Trojan horse in the background. [emoji38]

You can always check your local thrift stores for a foldable wheelchair. A lot cheaper than renting and your friend will get around more comfortably than on crutches.

We have stayed on decks 5 & 9 and we prefer deck 5. Seemed to be much more central to everything even though we had an aft balcony. It was very quiet!
The taste bar had a small breakfast & lunch sampling that we enjoyed. Trivia in the ocean plaza, also we used the aft elevators to access the Lido deck, Havana bar and Camp Carnival areas. When we stayed on deck 9, it seemed like we were always waiting for an elevator or hiking up several flights of stairs.

From reading these comments I expect that the true size of the CCL insides is a bit smaller than advertised: the same width but 3-4 feet shorter in length.
We are looking at a Vista inside in the Havana section. The balcony is nearly twice the cost. Hard choice to make ... value vs. size.
I think it comes down to your personal traveling preferences and how much time you'll spend in your cabin. We travel with two kids and we "survived" an inside on the Dream but a deluxe ocean view or balcony definitely makes it more pleasant for us. But if it were just my husband and I, we could definitely endure an inside if it meant we could experience the Vista!!

Jaime is fantastic!! We've sailed with her twice on the sunshine. She leaves the ship in Jan '15 to head to Australia for a couple months.
Yes, they had the Quest when we sailed during Thanksgiving. It was at 11pm on a sea day so we didn't make it.
-
My hubby took 3 of the Monster four packs on the Sunshine last week. And I'm glad he did- they cost $5 each on the ship!!
-
Just to clarify-the complimentary pasta bar for lunch is not even close to Cucina's menu. Cucina is well worth the surcharge and the ambiance & service are fab.
Same with Jiji's!

We are the last ship to dock. [emoji30] Thankfully, we did book a cabana at Margaritaville when it was available.
-
We are sailing on the Sunshine during Thanksgiving this year and according to the Grand Turk cruise center's port schedule, we are one of three ships docked that day. We've been to GT before and thought the pier could only accommodate two ships?? Will the last to arrive have to be tendered?
Such a small island for that many passengers-we hope it won't feel too crowded.
autism of the seas - has anyone used them?

We love AOTS!! But after a cruising with them a couple times, we now cruise successfully on our own. For us, FTTF is the best! Being able to go straight to the cabin and decompress is well worth the money. Plus your luggage arrives sooner. Also, no line for guest services and priority debarkation. We will continue to buy it until we're platinum. :)
