Great review so far!! Looks like you guys had a good time!

We are doing almost the same itinerary in October but HMC instead of Nassau.

Booked with Godfrey in St. Thomas, Paddleboarding in Grand Turk. San Juan I know has a zipline tour.

Might want to check the port specific board for more ideas!

No...you should either book anytime or late dining if it is an issue for you! Otherwise you would have to eat in another venue that day! Maybe a day you could do the steakhouse?

We have Calvyn Martens...don't know much about any of the cruise directors. Anyone had Calvyn before?

The Carnival website drives me a little crazy! I have been having difficulty trying to book shore excursions...it keeps saying no data available for this excursion. I clicked on nearly every excursion and they all would not work. I tried three different browsers too. I was able to get it to work on my phone, but it's so small and a little harder to book!

I tried to contact Carnival through their website and it kept saying the page I wanted did not exist!!

Any suggestions?

And on the subject of website...I also have difficulties getting my booking to save to my profile. Is there a way to save it without having to type in booking info each time?

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have any ideas!

I am having the same problem.....no solutions but following

I read online that someone took one at 1:30...not sure how reliable that is or not. You may want to call and check!

We are looking to book an 11:15...I am not too concerned. I have to ask though...are you already looking to book a flight for April!? Wait for some good deals to pop up like 1-2 months out. I think they say like 54 days for domestic flights is best..but I know we have found best prices right around 65 days!

! Loving your review!! I am getting so excited for October...can't wait to read more!

When does the chef's table take place? During normal dinner hour or earlier in the day?

Yay! Thanks for the review...same itinerary in October! Can't wait!

Thanks!!! I did not check the box this time and there was the booking....I am not sure what the issue is with that, but our booking is there :)

So I am having an issue with Carnival's webpage and my cruise for October is not showing up? I searched it with my booking # too and it still does not come up. My travel agent says it is showing up on her end ...but can't get it on my end. Does it work better with certain browsers or any tips/hints?

It used to show up on mine with the how many days until sailing, and I booked an excursion and the steakhouse but now nothing! My past cruise is on there...Any ideas?

This might be a silly little question but I wasn't sure. I want to cancel an excursion I booked and book a different one instead. How does the cancellation work? Does the money go back on the credit card I used to book, OBC, or what? Just wanted to be sure what would happen if I removed one of our excursions...

It seems as if we will be on the same cruise .....hello

Oh! Awesome ! I also see you are from Ohio...we just moved here 3 months ago. Just North of Columbus!

Great review so far! We have to wait until Oct. for the Conquest...but it is so much fun to read about until then!!

My first cruise ever was on Fascination! I enjoyed it a lot....when we sailed it in 2007 we sailed from Miami. It was a great trip and I actually thought about booking it again for our honeymoon but we will be going on Conquest instead. You will have a wonderful trip!

I know exactly how you feel....my fiance is a commercial airline pilot but I am TERRIFIED of getting on a plane. I take clonazepam before my flight and it calms be down but barely. I know there are other drugs given by DR's if you want to go that route...otherwise focus on breathing and trying to avoid some of the things that trigger the fear. For me it is turbulence which is unavoidable but I try to focus on breathing in and out and relaxing my body.

Good luck

Look forward to reading more....we are going on the Conquest in October !

Thanks guys! We are signed up for it...I'm still quite nervous but it seems like the instructors are helpful and will be there if I need anything.

Where were they flying out of? My fiance is a first officer and I know tons of flights have been cancelled lately do to weather and also to lack of staff. His whole day was cancelled because they couldn't find a captain for his flights.

Hope your friends make it!!

Hey thanks!! I will look at that thread...we are super excited. Bummer that we have to wait till October!

So I booked the steakhouse for our 3rd day on the cruise. I think the menu looks great and I am excited....but I am worried about missing out in the MDR. I have only been on 1 cruise(2007 Fascination) but I highly enjoyed the MDR and don't want to miss out. Is the steakhouse worth the extra fee? We will be on our honeymoon so wanted to do something special...just wanting to know it is worth it!?

Anyone does this excursion? My fiance and I are going on our honeymoon cruise and he the one thing he really wants to do is Scuba. I am TERRIFIED. Wondering if any beginners have done this excursion or anyone really and what it is like. I'm quite nervous but I know my fiance would be so excited...

Carnival has an April 28th in 2014 that includes Glacier Bay. Not sure if you are interested in sailing a different cruiseline...but is an option if 2015 has it too :)
