JoseyP Posted July 11, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Greetings Cruisers! I just about HAD to book this......after paying for a long transatlantic on Princess which i will take in November, I checked with Carnival about my credit from a pandemic cancelation today.... Got NO emails that i had to book and SAIL by the end of September of this year! And, lost the promised OBC also. So after looking at Florida options and this cruise, i picked this. When i get off I'll be going on Meraviglia 2 days later on Sept 18 with friends! This one is solo for me. This is the first time I am really annoyed with Carnival, and i am Platinum with them. I plan on writing guest relations about not being informed about the dates. If i didnt book and sail by 9/30, I would have lost over a thousand dollars. So with that and a gift card, this cruise is "free" (sort of) for me. Hope to meet some of you onboard! So looking forward to another cruise. I hope the weather cooperates. It's a good itinerary.

Wow that's terrible that you were never notified. Lucky that you found out on your own. Your new fall schedule now sounds busy but amazing! I am looking forward to this cruise (9/8) as I am hoping that Carnival will have figured out the embarkation / debarkation logistics and that the ship will be a bit less crowded then my 6/27 Venezia cruise. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye, Mary and Dave Hi Mary and Dave. Glad to see that there are others who will be doing the b2b. Best of two worlds, warm Carib and beautiful Canada! I am sure our paths will cross.

Mizzfitt Posted August 5, 2023 #32 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Hi everyone. I'm still surprised that this roll call is so small. I heard the ship is packed. Looking forward to 34 days till cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted August 5, 2023 #33 Share Posted August 5, 2023 All the people on here talking about being B2B Canada and Caribbean have me a bit jealous - we're also B2B but both weeks Canada. It will no doubt be beautiful and we're so ready to get away from the TX heat to cooler weather, but we are concerned about what we'll encounter due to the recent fires. Last year we were exactly 1 week behind Hurricane Fiona and had a few port changes because of it, but it was still a great trip. The people were amazingly resilient and had done so much to prepare for the cruise traffic. I'm sure some were probably still dealing with issues at home, but they didn't let it effect the tours. Their awesomeness made for great excursions for us. And Mother Nature rewarded us with a great Fall Color Peep Show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am writing a letter to carnival, probably email too. I have nothing to lose. They kept my money for 3 years, didnt notify me, enticed me with a large on board credit, and then i learned i had to book something and sail by sept 30 !! It turns out that some of my family is on this cruise also. I am curious to see the Venezia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizzfitt Posted August 15, 2023 #35 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Quick question. I was cleaning up over the weekend and found a stack of carnival $5 match play cards. Fies anyone know if they're still offering or honoring them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewtoCruisewKids Posted August 26, 2023 #38 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Good morning! Can’t wait for this ship! Is anyone else concerned about port parking? There were always plenty of empty spaces but now that they take reservations I figured I would take a look. Reservations are not available for this sailing? down to 13 days! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had public transportation where I live (near High Point) so we are driving in. I think we will be fine as they do have a lot of parking.

Mela1022 Posted September 6, 2023 #46 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Hi Everyone! Excited for our cruise just 2 days away! Did anyone hear about the recent hurricane lee passing by the Caribbean (specifically Puerto Rico)? Should we be concerned about the cruise being rerouted/skipping over or potentially canceled? I am really hoping not!! https://www.cruisehive.com/tropical-storm-lee-expected-to-impact-cruise-destinations/110141 Edited September 6, 2023 by Mela1022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseyP Posted September 7, 2023 #47 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Yes, I did hear about it, being down in Florida a few days ago. Just came up and have to pack! Are there 2 formal nights on this? Edited September 7, 2023 by JoseyP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
