Mini Fridge in Interior Cabin?

Chatley — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:10:28 GMT

Planning our Oct 6, 2012 Western Caribbean cruise on the Destiny. We have interior cabins on the Verandah deck. My mother will be traveling with me and she is insulin dependent diabetic. Is there a mini fridge in the room for her to keep her insulin cold? If not, can we request one for our cabin?

Roll Call 5/27/12 Pride out of Baltimore to Bahamas

KidNme — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:54:44 GMT

Me, wife and 13 yr old son going on our first cruise!

Anyone else going?
We're looking forward to some Bahama mamas and a lot of beach time.
Probably snorkel some, don't know yet.
Never been this far south and never been on a ship.
Wife and son haven't been to a beach before so this will be really exciting for them!
Give us a shout out if you're going on the same trip!

Bahamas segway in Nassau

dollyangelmommy — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:16:29 GMT

We are going on our first cruise in about 23 more days and we're thinking about doing the Bahamas segway in Nassau. Has anyone done this and how was your experience? I know some toursts were robbed by gunpoint a few years ago doing the segway in Nassau but when I called about this excursion they told me it was another segway company that those tourist were doing.

cash left in room safe

j dude — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:32:55 GMT

mischelle, mary or anyone that can help me please,

i returned to jacksonville on fascination nov. 3 2011 after a great cruise just like all the other cruises i've been on, not one complaint ever. after traveling about 30 miles from the port i realized i had left my emergency traval money locked in the room safe where it had been the entire cruise, it was for emergencies only never meant for spending money, i stopped as soon as i realized this and called the number that was printed on my booking information, after speaking with the rep i realized i was talking to someone in miami and not to someone on the ship. they told me at that time i would not be able to return to the ship, this was really no surprise to me, they asked for my booking number and name and specifics of the items left in the safe, i was told then that it would take 2-4 weeks for the ship to send the money to the home office miami and then it could take 4-6 weeks for miami to return the money to me by mail, so it could take up to a total of 10 weeks, as bad as that was atleast i would get it. i was very nervous about losing my money ofcourse so i asked if they could confirm that the money was found, by the way the amount was 1800.00 in 100 dollar bills in a white banking envelope. i was told as soon as the ship responded to the office by email then the office would call me, was told to expect about a 20 minute wait. at that time there was nothing else i could do but start the trip home, after 2 hours of driving i stopped to eat when i returned to my car i had a voicemail stating security had gone to my room and found the safe open with no contents. i returned the call and told the rep that i hoped i had misunderstood the message but again i was told the same thing. i explained there must be some mistake i was 100% sure i had left the money there thats when i was told they were very sorry but carnival was not responsible for items left on the ship and nothing further could be done. needless to say i was sick but i had to hold it together cause i had my entire family in the vehicle with me. i explained to the rep that this was a terrible mistake and unfortunately this would certainly end our relationship with carnival, 4 hours later as i reached my home town carnival called me back and said upon further investigation they realized they had checked the wrong room and actually my money was found as i had left it and i should expect to recieve it in 10 weeks and i was giving a claim number and told to call anytime to check the status. well after a couple days i called just to make sure there was no mix up, i explained to the rep what had happened, she took my claim number and put me on hold, when she returned to the phone she said i was mistaken and that my money was not found, omg is what i was thinking here we go again. i told her the whole story and she put me on hold again, when she returned she said i was correct my money had been found. so i called about every 2 weeks to check the status. i was told on dec. 6 that the money reached miami and i should recieve it within 30 days, so i waited to call back after 30 days and was told then that it had not been 10 weeks so i should call back in a couple of weeks, during this call i was also told by the rep that it least the money wasnt gone and that i knew where it was and i should be thankful that it was returned and not stolen, well i was very thankful it was returned but should i have expected anything different? so after 11 weeks i called back, explained to another rep the situation and that it had been over the 10 weeks so after being put on hold the rep returned and told me his supervisor informed him the if you counted the time since the money reach his dept. it not not been 10 weeks. i was insulted by this excuse and told the rep that was not what was told to me from the beginning and that carnival was getting very close to losing my business because i feel powerless and wonder if my money will be returned at all. the rep at that time took my phone number and email and said his supervisor told him to make it his responsibility to get me an answer other than to sit and wait. its been 2 weeks and no response. you have a great product at a great value but customer service has been another story, i usaully have my cruise with 2 -5 cabins booked by this time of year but until we resolve this i cannot move foward. if this letter gets no response my next action is to call the trouble shooter on our abc news program, i hope that they can have some success. please resolve this before i lose my desire to continue doing business with carnival.

What does everyone have planned as far as excursions on their next cruise?

What do you look forward to the most on a cruise?

ILuvDW — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:02:10 GMT

Since I haven't cruised yet - June will be my first - I was wondering what everyone looks forward to the most when taking a cruise?

I'm looking forward to technology being off! We have 3 teenagers that are pretty typical - addicted to their phones, so I'm looking forward to us having some old fashioned fun - without our cell phones! No texting, no Facebook, etc.! I'm sure everything else will fall into place!

Name of photograhper?

perfectlyimperfect — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:54:28 GMT

Just sailed on the Ecstasy, departed from Port Canaveral on 1/30/12 visiting the Bahamas. I am looking for the name of one of the photographers on the ship. He is a tall slim gentleman from Croatia and is currently on his second contract. I just can not remember his name. Does anyone happen to remember this photographer?

We just booked. I know...its way way early to be roll calling, but I was just so excited. This is the first time I've seen a Hawaiian Cruise round-trip out of San Diego. There's also one in December 2011 out of Long Beach round trip, but I don't wanna pay for parking at the Long Beach terminal. Don't have to pay in San Diego!!! 15 days is a long time to have to pay to park. Aloha y'all!!!

Time spent in your room aboard the ship

toodles — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:21:01 GMT

I guess it just depends on how much money you want or have to spend on a room, but how much time does one, two or how many others share a room really spend in it? Is it worth the extra money for a spa room, balcony or other special room? Just wondering.

Pirate Ship Adventure Puerta Vallarta

papadewey — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:45:36 GMT

We have an excursion booked for the Pirate ship Adventure, does anyone know if they operate regardless of the weather? Rain, high seas, etc. Does not sound like as much fun in the rain or choppy seas as when the sun is shining. Does Carnival refund the money if the tour is cancelled by the Pirate Adventure company ?

bridgetack — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:50:39 GMT

Southern Cruise Belle — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 17:00:23 GMT

Is anyone going? I know it's early but you have to save a lot of pennies for this. I've been on two previously and they are FABULOUS, in spite of the 500 Chinese who were trying to push their way into one elevator. But next time I'm going to film them and post it on You Tube!

VacationingCharlene — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:44:21 GMT

When might Carnival know when the ship will be selected for the Alaska 2013 cruise season? There are alot of people who like paying for and planning their cruises way in advance. We will be going on the Western Carribean this May but so want to be planning for our next Alaska trip. Come on Carnival....pick a ship!! Any heads-up from the staff of carnival? Would really like to do the Seattle to Seattle but visiting Glacier Bay vs Tracy Arm Fjord....this time!
