My hubby and I are taking our second cruise on RC leaving Baltimore on Christmas Eve and return after the new year.....is there any special holiday events, meals, etc.? Fireworks or NY Eve countdown? Just curious as what to expect; thanks for all advice and feedback

Being the first cruise,, we've heard various adn contradicting stories from friends who are previous cruisers. We're going out on the Pride in 10/10, and both my husband and I are asmthamtic and semi-allergic to smoke. I called the cruise agency we booked thru to see if our balcony room (4211) is going to be a balcony we can't use with chances of multismokers around us. Their response was that any cruiser is entitles to smoke in their stateroom and balcony (and then she said she doesn't think Pride has staterooms) and smoking is on the port or strboard side (according to her we're on starboard). Can anyone with previous experience explain this so we know we can enjoy the cruise?

Thanks so much--- some of the menus I'd looked at for other Carnivals were charging for room service, and I was under the impression (of the catalgos and other cruise books I read) that room service was free- other than sodas and alcohol

Sorry for swapping the boards, but as an anxious cruise virgin, I would prefer to gatehr as much info in advance so I'm not left with any surprises.... In the case my hsub and I chose room service, has anyone got a copy of th eroom service menu they took home, or took pictures, etc. that can be sent to me? I've tried searhing images in yahoo and Google, but the photos posted are so far away r out of focus, you can't read them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased a subscription for the Cruise Travel mag, and I notice every issue they do a focus highlight on a ship.....I've tried theri archives and emailing them without sucess to date- has anyon ever seen the spread highlight on the Pride, and can you either forward a link or scans of the artice which I can print? I didn't think it's be this hard. I'm not looking for reviews, since I can find an ulimited number of those.

Hi- WOndering if anyone has any experience in having their wedding vows renewed on a cruise ship, particluary a Carnival? We'll be on th ePride, adn I'd like to surprise my hubby with it 9at that point we'll have just celebrated our 4th), but th eonly info I can find is for weddings with guests, adn they run $700 and up. It would only be me and hubby, so I wondered if there is a couple price since we don't need the dinner, guests, (I plan on ordering one of the small speciality cakes, if someone can tell me if they taste good)-- any help, comments, etc.?

Hi yall! Wondering if you can help me (even with estimated roundabouts) concerning the spa bueaty day. We're going in Oct of next year, and having been four years since our wedding day, my husband and I plan to DOOD it up for a formal night, with the intentions the same day of hitting the photo studios and get some professional pictures done. Can you give me a guestimation of a cost for hair sstyle (I'd be satisfied with wash, blowdry adn curl/style), makeup and refresher on my artifical nails. Has well, will phot studis tkae mutliple like what were requesting (as if we were walking into a land studio for several hsots/positions? I emailed carnival trying to get info thru email (since I can't see my e-ddocs until fully paid), and wondering how much adn if it would be worth it. I have severe facial rashs (rosecea and psoriasis) so very few pics are taken of me, and I want o give my hub something to really remember. Brandee
