    I'm going solo for the 1st time ever on the Viva 30 Mar 2025 to the Caribbean. Any tips from passengers who have gone solo before? Thanks 😊

    I will let you know. An online friend was on the Sky in Europe in Nov and she rated the ship only 4 stars out of 5. She did not say why though.

    I just looked up the stateroom size of the Epic and the site said they were 235 square feet which would make them larger unless that couple we talked to had an inside stateroom which is a LOT smaller. They complained the beds were real short so ask if you are going to book the Epic.
  12. BSCorvette
    You're quite welcome. I must also add that the ships colors were toned down a lot for this ship. Most Carnival ships are quite garish...this ship was beautiful inside and out. We met a couple who had made the trans-Atlantic crossing on the Epic and they were very happy with the staterooms on the Magic compared to the Epic. They stated if you were over 5'7" you would be hanging over the end of the bed in your stateroom. The staterooms were quite small on the Epic compared to the Magic and the food was not as good on the Epic. The only experience that was better was the entertainment at night.

    We are leaving for Barcelona on Thursday and will board the Magic and will leave a review here after we get back June 3rd. It's a 12 day cruise and we are packing already for the trip!
  17. BSCorvette
    Anyone ever take a CB radio to contact other members on their cruise??? Worth the time and luggage space to take them? Thanks.
  18. BSCorvette
    Thank you....you guys are the greatest!

    Thanks again. Yesterday I downloaded a book on Barcelona to my Kindle and then read up on the city. I'm going to do the same for all of these cities we are visiting. The books contain travel tips, descrptions, phrases in each language and maps! I love my Kindle! I bought a plastic coated map of Venice in Barnes and Noble. Rick Steves writes some excellent travel books for Europe and other places as well. I had one of his books and he gave lots of less expensive alternatives especially for transportation. Try the library or the bookstore. Google his name and you'll find lots of links including some Podcasts.
