Thanks.....no cruising for us........i'll just keep watch over the forums...lol

Hello CruiseCrazies....... Have not been around in a while. My wife was sick and in the hospital around Christmas time. of 2015. Last cruise was 2014 an 8 nighter out of Port Canaveral. Did the Southern route....Aruba and Curaco were wonderful. My wife got some nice silver jewelry in Turks and Caicos. Anyways...just wanted to drop back in and say hello and wish everyone well for the new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Just curious what they charge for prepaid gratuities pp per day? Specifically Paradise from Tampa 5 nighter....2 people in one cabin and 3 in another... Thank you fine people....

No it isnt worth it. I'll just do my usual, go to the pool have a drink or many...buy some food and just use the pool. Thanks WCT!

Hello, Thinking of an 8 night cruise from FLL. One stop is St Kitts. Anyone know if the Marriott there offers a day pass type of thing or do i just pull off my usual routine and just walk in as if i own the place? Thanks peeps...and have a great day!

Not sure of the next cruise. Possible 3 nighter from PC. This was a last minute deal, suppose to be a celebration of a new job but somehow that fell through at the last minute, so i said screw it and drown my sorrows....lol.....

MY trip report to come!

Im going tomorrow on the Liberty. Any questions?

I am going May 9th on an 8 nighter..............

Thank you all. It will be an amazing time. As you all know, the closer it gets the more excited i become..........

So last minute booking aboard Carnival Liberty doing an 8 night cruise to 3 ports we have never been to. Booked the pack and go special and will tell you we got an OV with prepaid gratuities for $1322. Sweet deal. Cabin got assigned OV aft...uuuggghhh...wife has trouble walking...so i call and call...keep getting NO for an answer.......about changing, upgrading whatever because it was set. Finally call PVP, he worked a miracle and got it changed for me......... If allowed i would like to leave his name and extension...... Marc Barnet at Carnival ext 85103. This guy is amazing........ If this is not acceptable feel free to delete however the guy is amazing...give him a try...tell him Ron sent you.... Thank you

WOW pretty cool after all these years....... Anyways, quite honestly, isn't it ironic that some people may like one port while others don't like it? Talking about armed guards I saw them in Belize too. We did a catamaran in Ocho Rios and had the most memorable time ever, I can still see it now! Cozumel was awesome to me and countless fun times in Grand Cayman. I truly enjoy Nassau. Don't go to Atlantis, I go the other way to Cable beach and have never been disappointed. The 10a bus was fun and the yellowbird was fun in my younger days! ST Lucia and St Kitts were good for us. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

I booked the 8 night Liberty cruise out of Port Canaveral. Grand Turk, Curacao and Aruba. Got an OV for 1327 that includes the prepaid gratuities. Leaves May 9th so i am a short timer.

8 night on the Liberty...3 ports I have never been to. Closer to home.....OV....Port Canaveral 7 night on Legend...been on this one and to the ports....but get a balcony.....Tampa 20 dollars cheaper on the Legend.... What do you have to say?

Interesting.....

Very interesting. Thanks oldtimer...I mean Dan...lol...

Thank you...

Do you tender to these or dock.??? Thank you

Ok fine i am only talking a single person. So what a bottle of wine costs 20+ and you get maybe 3 good sized glasses out of it? So 6 glasses of wine a day, could be a lot for some people but hey it's a vacation. A before dinner drink or 2, a couple of glasses of wine at dinner, an after dinner drink or 2 if you go to a club or just want to sit on the promenade deck and people watch or even taking a drink back to your room and sitting on your balcony....no matter how you cut it, it would be a great deal...i am all for it!

350 for the week? Cool, that is probably 2 bottles of wine, right? Still not bad if you throw in a few drinks here and there...

$49 a day per person? That would be easy......... DOD 7-8-9 $ right? Bottle of wine at dinner $20+ Bucket of beer along the way $20+ and that is easy..... Maybe a nice Baileys and coffee or 2 in the morning,

Hello fine people and thanks for yor help...... My wife and i celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on Valentine's day. That was the reason for the cruise...... We live in Sanford Fl near Orlando. We drove down, starting at 6:30 am with Dunkin Donuts.........we were on the ship and in our cabin by 12 noon. My wife has a medical condition and we went to Guest Services and they called housekeeping and viola.....aok to go.....still a few tried saying something to us.....but i politely explained again......VIP was a breeze with no one in line and about 3 people ahead of us in the VIP lounge.......sweet and easy.... Cabins don't bother us and we chose an inside this time because of the great price of 309 pp. It was aft and we loved it for our sleeping pleasure....... Gede was our room steward. He ws fast and efficent and did an outstanding job. In the past i have grown to dislike Carnival dinners. the singing waiters just got old boring and stale.....this changed this trip and they at least had some updated songs to sing and dance to. The service declined thorughout the cruise. Since Tuesday was our anniversary, i went to Formalities on the day of embarkation and ordered a small cake for our anniversary.......IT NEVER SHOWED UP. Immediately after dinner i went to Formalities and talked with anothe lady. I saw the list and thye had written down the wrong cabin number down with ???? has the table.......i calmly explained to them, i wa pissed off and they asked what they could do and i told them whatever they wanted....whatever and left.......i did have them credit my account.......the next day the Bar manage called and apologized about the inconvenience, and he asked if there was anything that could be done and was under the assumption we had a banner in our cabin that night. I said, no there wasn't and he said he was told there was......i then said to him....come on down to our cabin and see for your self.......he didin't...... The next day when we came back from 7 mile beach in Grand Cayman, our room was decorated, 2 flutes, champagne, 8 bar credits and 6 roses.....hhhmmm...ok......very nice touch to make up for 3 inadequacies.......the next night to dinner the Maitre'd handed us 8 more bar coupons......yippee...again......... Ports were Key West....Jamaica and Cayman.......shopping, 7 mile beach and more shopping.......basically it for our ports..had a great time and the best meal ever at Margarittaville in Ocho Rios......ammy did an outstanding job and was a joy.. Overall the trip was good, had a great time with my wife, even though there were a few hiccups.........and the parking was free due to my wife being handicapped with a placard...... I tried exploring the ship and it was nice. If anyone has any questions fire away............i can go nto detail of anything i witnessed from my point of view........ Thank you all and i appreciate everyone here !!!!!!!!!!!
