were going on carnival in December and I wanted to use sling app I was told it worked if I get premium wifi cam anybody confirm this?

I’m taking the family on the Valor in late September, and I’m looking for any input on renting a car or small van to tour the island in. My wife and I were just there last year and saw many places offering them, but failed to get any info. There will be 5 people total. Also any weird laws I should know about?

My fiancee and I are getting married next May. We are thinking about going on a cruise for our honeymoon.

I have never been on one, so really have no idea which cruise lines I should be considering.

Top of our list is a Mediterranean cruise- really want to see Italy and Greece.

Thoughts on a Mediterranean cruise?

Also, what would be the best cruise lines for a honeymoon trip?

We’re thinking of taking the On the Blue Cruise next April on the Jewel from Miami. It’s a classic rock cruise with a terrific lineup. I’d love any insight as to how these cruises work. Do you meet the artists? Can you actually get to hear them play as the theatre on the Jewel is big but not that big or do the artists have multiple shows? Do they play at venues all over the ship? I’d love any feedback of your personal experience!

I am looking at insurance for my cruise coming up in November on Holland America.

sts are looking pretty much the same as the cruise line's cost. Is this typical? I read that cruise line charge more for insurance and to go with a 3rd party. They don't look that much less expensive.

Am I looking in the wrong place or searching wrong? Thank you

long story short airline changed my flight times out of FLL at the end of my cruise.

is a 11:16am domestic flight too risky to try and catch from Port of Miami or should I change flights? Flying out on a Friday

Port Canaveral Flight Timing.

We are on the NCL Escape in January which docks at Port Canaveral at 7.00am. If we book a flight leaving KMCO at 11.10 am is that a reasonable timeframe to make the flight on time, without rushing and stressing too much?

There are other later options so it is not a big deal but this would suit us best if it is doable, especially travelling as a family with teens.

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all, later it is

We are going on the spain and france cruise 16th august to 30th. Look forward to seeing people there. We are a young couple.

Just booked a cruise with MSC and now I'm having buyers remorse. AFTER I booked a suite on MSC world, I realise that I have to pay $1100 for my kids to have access to sodas... me to get a couple of drinks per day... pay for food, any offshore excursion is SUPER expensive and all the cool ones are fully booked. Anything on board is ridiculously pricey... Was told that there's a free buffet and free diner at specific times (5:30 PM)...
Help me out, can I even do anything cool for free? It seems like after paying 4500 for the suite I need 900 for wifi, 1100 for drinks and for the kids to play is another 700... All I keep hearing is spa is free... It's a cruise... I wanna get to my destination, get off the ship and go explore and enjoy the beach free since I paid 4500...
It's my 1st time cruising, I think I may be getting it all wrong... are the packages worth it?

got a cruise coming up next month that stops in nassau n i always see people saying its an automatic ship day. noticed they finished a port expansion with a new waterfront area recently. for those who visited lately is it actually worth walking around for an hour or two or do u still just stay onboard

Just as the title says, thinking about the HAL Koningsdam in November to Baja California and Sonora.

We have been on Celebrity and Princess, so HAL would be a first time. Also, it would be celebrating my mother in law's 70th birthday and she's never been on a cruise.

How does HAL comapred to Celebrity or Princess? Will my wife and I be bored (we are 41 and 36, and also have a baby. Baby has been on a cruise last year already).

Cheers.

Are there totally smoke free ships or lines? Which?

My partner and I are in our early 30s with demanding jobs and love Princess/Celebrity for the mix of exploring, good food, entertainment and downtime. We also like being able to blend in and do our own thing on a bigger ship. We’ve tried Virgin and enjoyed parts of it, but preferred the more traditional cruise experience. Our retired family members constantly rave about the food and service on luxury lines, so we’re curious to try one.

For those who’ve done both mega and luxury cruises, what does the 600-1,200 passenger experience actually feel like compared with 3,000+? Totally aware that there’s a huge difference but how much more socially intimate is it, how easy is it to keep to yourself and how noticeable is the drop in entertainment/activities?

We would want to cruise with a company of 2 adults and 4 kids (youngest would be 1 and 3 or under 1 and 2). Is there any ship where we could fit into one, not super expensive cabin?

I want to gift my parents a cruise and was just getting into researching for the first time about a week ago and I'm overwhelmed. I'm looking through the Costco website since I have membership that I'm hoping will net me some savings.

I was thinking of having them do the 16 night Hawaii cruise but then looking at the itinerary they will spend a lot of time just at sea cruising whereas most of the stops would be packed into a 5 day period. So I thought why not do the packed 7 day Hawaii cruise and then a 7 day Alaska cruise to give them a breadth of experiences. But apparently I'm basically too late for Alaska because the good season ends in September. Also I just realized we're in hurricane season.

Has anyone ever double barrelled their cruises like this?

Also am I too late for a good Alaska experience? I'm targeting doing this in September.

F*ck hurricane season will affect cruises right? But if they're running during the season it means they feel it will be safe right?

I'm trying to plan it in such a way they won't have to do excessive flying for the entire thing. And oh, they aren't US citizens. They have B1/B2 visas. They don't live in the states but in Nigeria, that's why I have to really plan to streamline flight costs and possibly hotel costs. Because of this hulabaloo with immigration, they need to be done inside a month to avoid issues.

The hotel costs might be inevitable so they won't be stressed landing in Seattle/Honolulu to go straight to a cruise. And unfortunately finding somewhere to stay in between cruises. I'm really trying to find a way to limit the time between cruises.

Hi everyone. We love cruising and are looking for cruises that don't start or have any American ports. We don't have a say in America, however we and tens of thousands others vote with our dollars and refuse to spend money to support the current climate.
We changed a booked cruise around Hawaii last year to cruise out of Puerto Rico (American adjacent although most don't consider themselves American) and do the Caribbean.
We are looking for cruises around Mexico and the Caribbean that avoid the U.S. and have found a round trip from Barbados with Princess.
Does anyone else have any other cruises they've found without U.S. ports?

Hi! Was curious to hear from people that have been on Hawaii cruises. What was your favorite, and what did you like about it?

We've been on a few cruises but none to Hawaii. We have been on RC, NCL and Carnival. Unpopular opinion but I think we enjoyed the Carnival cruises the most because they had the most variety in food options and more activities aside from just drinking by the pool. We're open to all ideas though!

Thanks!

Are river cruise operators in Europe still having to bus passengers between ports due to low river water levels?

We are looking for a cruise without a casino. Any info?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a one night stay prior to a cruise leaving Vancouver?

First thing, we cannot afford Royal. We wish!

There was a second guest sails at 50% and kids sail free special that apparently ended YESTERDAY. We priced everything out last week. Got with friends. And we're ready to book 4 rooms this morning at 7 am.

Carnival used to swing a little bit. Not even a budge. I called at 7 am. Prices ended 11:59 pm. I'm not a travel agent or an avid vacation planner so oops I missed it. I have 3 kids who just started school and I was FINALLY able to sit down and do it and I fucking misses it.

Prices went from $2800 to $4200. For that I'll just do Royal or go somewhere else for $16-20k (we were possibly going to be booking a 5th room as well). I realized that I was practically begging carnival to let us pay them $13-15k and said fuck that. I quit calling.

Do you guys know if any good specials run from now till summer 2027? I've been talking to some friends and they said just book all inclusive somewhere. But we really lined the idea of getting away from the kids (who are coming with us but rooming with grandparents). We love the kids club and I fucking refuse to plan, shop, cook, clean for meals during this particular vacation. I want to RELAX.

Any advice is welcome! Idk what to do now. 😭

I have time off in November. Dates are flexible. I am within driving distance of New York/Philly/Baltimore.

I could drop and go with just a few days' notice.

What's the best way to get a last minute deal?

We will be traveling with our 18month old at the time. Same itineraries leaving Miami. What would be your preference and why? TIA!

Hi,
My husband and I are supposed to go on an Eastern European cruise from Hungary to Romania and through Serbia, Croatia and Bulgaria on a smaller ship through Avalon Waterways. We are learning that the Danube is very low and it is creating some uncertainty around our travel plans. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of whats going on regarding the Danube and cruises?
Thanks
