Rare Jamman54 Posted May 2, 2018 Author #951 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Jamman, I booked too late to snag a HMC cabana. Do you know if they possibly hold back one to be booked by someone after they board the ship?Oh, by the way, absolutely love your reviews! Thanks for reading! momonthego17 gave you the best advice. Get to the Shore Excursion desk as soon as you board. I have also heard that you can get your name put on a waiting list by emailing Carnival's Shore Excursion desk. Not sure what that email is, maybe someone can chime in on this one. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5PUPS Posted May 2, 2018 #952 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thank you Jamman and momonthego17 for the suggestions. I will search for that email address, and I will go to the shore excursion desk as soon as I board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm booking a cruise in Sept on Magic and want to read those parts, lol. Do you have a website of your travels and reviews?

blarko Posted August 4, 2018 #958 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Rereading for the Elation review, as I will be cruising her in 28 days. Thanks for so much detail! I really enjoy the big screen on Lido, so I hope I’m not disappointed and won’t miss it too much on Elation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to look it over again myself since we'll be boarding her again on the 27th. I guess we'll be getting off and you'll be getting on. Enjoy your cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dltvermont Posted August 20, 2018 #960 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We will be driving down to Florida. Patti is not a big fan, but I don’t mind driving. We like driving overnight so that we miss the morning rush hours of Baltimore and Washington, and there is hardly any traffic at all. I just set the cruise control at ahem, 79 mph and just steer between the white lines while listening to tunes all night long. We usually make quick potty and/or gas stops every two hours or so. To be continued….. Dut to the 4th big storm to come thru NYC we ended up driving from VT to Florida this past March, last minute decision. Im with you, I like to drive thru the night. AND, I too set cruise at 79 on I95 and got nailed in SC by an unmarked cruiser. Although I got a warning, the trooper was none too nice and was quick to inform me that "the speed limit has never been 79" when I told him I was just following traffic and not from SC and didnt know....playing dumb.

Sorry you got snagged, but at least you didn't get a ticket! In all the times that I have driven down to Florida and back, I have never (knock on wood), been stopped for speeding. So many people doing 85, 90, or more MPH pass me like i'm standing still. Those are the big money makers for the troopers, not people like me and you ONLY going 9 MPH over the limit. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thethirdhalf Posted August 26, 2018 #964 Share Posted August 26, 2018 First off I'm very sad you'll be getting off as I'm getting on the Elation 1 September. Quick question, I just wanted to verify the picture from your Elation room and confirm the new standard 2 regular plugs and 2 USB ports in the room? Thanks again for all you do!

airlink diva Posted October 23, 2018 #968 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Bumping. I booked this based on your wonderful review. Glad I did because it's no longer offered by the private vendor you mentioned. I was worried because it wasn't showing on their site. They told me it's being honored due to my booking. I noticed you mentioned Carnival has one also with them. Mine was at the price you mention. Give a report on my return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeweysGirl Posted November 3, 2018 #970 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Wow! What a fabulous review! I finally made a decision and booked the Liberty out of PC next July with stops in Nassau and Freeport but for $300 more the Magic is out of Fort Lauderdale with stops at HMC, GT and Amber Cove. Decisions, decisions...now I'm torn between the two! 🤔 Thank you for this awesome review! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princess76021 Posted September 7, 2020 #975 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi Jeff, it's me again 😄 ! Just got off your amazing 19 dayer!!! Another new ship to me, the Magic! Beautiful pictures of the ship thanks Patti. I have been to those ports numerous times thanks for the memories. The Elation I've been on!! Yay!! Although I have to admit it was not yesterday 😞 , in fact it was 2005, way before renovations. Thanks for showing me the updated one. The Elation ports are my upcoming so I'm always interested. Onwards to the Paradise and the Conquest!! Hugs Nicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
