I have friends that want to cruise. They have Romanian passports and green cards. Are they going to be able to cruise? I told them that I would see what I could find out. I will call in the morning but was hoping I might get some information from here. Sometime we get faster and more  accurate Information from cruise critic.

Wishing you the best of luck on this travel day. Travel safe. Get lots of rest when you get home. 

We were just switched from the Freedom jr suite handicap room (for 3) to the Splendor non handicap room Ocean Suite.  It has a bathtub not a walk in shower. It will not be easy for her to use the tub. From what I have heard the showers in the spa are huge. I was wondering if anyone could use the showers in the spa or if I need to buy a spa package so my sister can shower.

Thanks for the help.

Hoping someone can help with this question. We were to sail on the Freedom . We had a handicap  JR suite for 3. Now we are on the Splendor but it does not look like they have many ( I only found one)  handicap rooms for a party of three. Do you know what they will do for us.

I called and asked if they have changed the rules since both Holland and Princess will allow people with oxygen concentrators to travel on their ships. I was told that yes the rules have changed and if you have an oxygen concentrator you can travel with Carnival. You just cants take tanks with you . 

Anyone know anything about the jr suite cabin or Benefits you get staying in the jr suites?

Just booked the Jr suite on the Freedom for the June 14 2022 sailing. I have been on many Carnival ship but never in a Jr suite. Can someone tell me is there any beniefits in staying in the  Jr Suites. Also anyone stayed  in this cabin? It is a hanicap room so I am guessing there is not the tub  but a roll in shower.

Thanks for you help.

Thanks everyone. I’m super excited. Yes we were in a window guarantee  but it came down to the price of what r paid months ago was what theses room are going for now so I called to see moved see if we could move up. The food the aqua class was he same price and would have done that but no handicap room was available and my sister need the handicap room. Now I think even if the aqua class does come available I won’t want to move. The balcony looks amazing. 

Well today I went from a window cabin up to the concierge class for my Oct 18th sailing on the Summit for free. So excited now I need to know what all the fuss is about. I see you get priority boarding but from what I hear that is no longer happening. With 300 or so people it is not real needed. Then I see priority seating selection in the dining room. Again not really needed.  A bottle of wine in you cabin. We have the drink package so again not needed. So can someone tell me what I get to look forward to? I’m just happy to have a balcony, also We are in cabin 7212 and 7208, very back of the ship. Anyone can tell me about those rooms?  Thanks 

If you get the wi-fi package would that include texting? or just  something like facetime?

Thanks for your input

Any chance Abby that you could ask if they can tell you how full the Sept 11 2021 cruise will sail at? 50% 75% capacity?

I was told by princess today. ( yes I know that the two are completely different companies) that  the 72 hours from from the time the ship set sail. 
 I ask so does that mean if I sail at 6pm on Saturday and take the test Wednesday morning I could have problems? She said “ yes I could do to be safe do it after 6pm Wednesday or better yet Thursday morning”

You can stick a luggage tag on a case of sodas, leave with your luggage and they will bring then to your room.

 

The bar staff are great on X at making drinks to order (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic). Expand your horizons and try something different!

I am will to expand my sister not so much. 

Can someone tell me what kind of soda or pop is on Celebrity. My sister is a Dr Pepper drinker and I like root beer. Thank you 

Thanks! Hoping they change requirement  for my September 11 cruise. 

If my cruise starts on Sept 11 2021 and I need a negative Covid test 72 hours before my cruise when do I need to take the test. We plan on flying into Florida on Sept 9th at 830am and we don’t get to Florida till 530pm.  
When should I take the test?

Yes they are included.

Thank you

Spell check

With the CBP is gratuity already included ?

Not sure if everyone knows this yet or not but if you use oxygen or on dialysis you won’t be able to cruise this year. My sister is on oxygen and we just found out today that we cannot go on our November Mardi Gras sailing. So disappointed but I understand. Changed it to as Alaska cruise May 2022. Fingers crossed.

As for many who love cruising it became quite depressing not to have a cruise to look forward to.  For years I enjoyed many and had so much fun reading detailed and fascinating reviews by fellow cruisers. I learned about new ships and even booked some of the cruises after reading reviews on these boards.

One day we WILL be cruising again .

 

In a meantime....How about we share links to the most memorable reviews we found on Cruise Critic? 

I'm trying to find reviews from a Canadian couple who were doing B2B2B2B on carnival ships. I remember they were members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, had 2 teenage kids. Their reviews were phenomenal, with a lot of pictures and great details. I believe the husband's name was Mike. LOVE his reviews and would love to find the links to enjoy them again. Maybe someone remembers them 🙂

There are two people that stand out in my mind. I wish I  could remember their names. One was from a man. He traveled with his wife and then his wife and son. He made a few reports going to Disney and U.S    before and after his cruise. Lots of photos and lots of details. I believe he was from Utah.

Next was from a lady that traveled with her dad. She lost her dad a few years ago. Again can't remember her name but if any one knows who I am talking about they always had great reports.

 

Thank you. My sister will be glad to hear that.

I have been looking at the deck plan for the Freedom. I can not tell if you  can get to the    Serenity deck if you are in a wheelchair or scooter. My sister can not do stairs so I     am hoping that someone can tell me if she will be able to get to the serenity deck.

Thank you

Thank you both.   

I have a window cabin now on Carnival Freedom for May 2021 but thinking about upgrading to a balcony.  Is there a better side to be on? I'm thinking because it is round trip in really does not matter. 

Thanks for the help.
