dtaylortgo, You might have better luck on Cruise Critic.  The FREEDOM is a big ship, and not sure which itenerary this sailing is; however, there will be F.O.D. meetings in your Carnival Capers.  Believe me, you won't be alone!  When I cruised on the FANTASY, there were several meetings. On the HOLIDAY none were held.  ...

I will make sure to pack for "cooler" temps.  On my previous two cruises, I wish I would have had some warmer clothes to wear on ship.  Dining room, casino, and show lounge was always cool/cold.  It's not just cruise ships that run the A.C. a little too much.  Some restaraunts here in Kansas will have the thing ...

I will be going "solo" for the first time Jan 31, '10 on the SPLENDOR.  This will be my 3rd cruise.  The first was with an older woman friend (old enough to be my mother).  We had a lot of fun!  # 2 was with my mother and father celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary! They (and I) had a blast, as it was their ...

Hello again.  Well, my lodging plans have changed.  I won't be at the Q.M. after all.  I did a "Name Your Price" on Priceline.  Man, those things make me nervous!  I put in a very low bid for a 3-star hotel, and got the Westin, Long Beach for $52.00 + tax!!!  The Passport C bus is 2 blocks away and ...

That is real sad that you will not be able to cruise ... this time around.  Hopefully this economy will get turned around sometime, and we can return to some kind of "normalcy"!  Take care and have a nice Thanksgiving everybody!  Hard to believe that it's this close!   ~  T

It's just a little after midnight here in "land-locked" Kansas.  We are in CTZ just like Mobile, Cozumel, and Progreso.  I had a champagne toast here, as well!  It was the cruise of Aug. 29, the first (and last) time I cruised the HOLIDAY.  It was a celebration of my folks 57th Wedding Anniversary, and their first ...

Hello again, everyone!  89 days!!!    I was wondering if anyone was doing the Prime Time Shuttle from LAX to the Queen Mary, or doing the Carnival Shuttle?  Prime Time is $16.00 (shared van) each way (LAX to Queen Mary / Carnival Cruise Terminal to LAX), where Carnival was $26.00 or $52.00 round trip.    ...

Men and women, boys and girls!  Wow!  We could all use an aspirin here.  Shepherd - Maybe God had another plan for you that day.   ~  T

100 DAYS OUT!!!!   It is definately just me coming from Kansas.  However, I think that's a "good" thing!  Have my cabin taken care of, flight from ICT to DEN - DEN to LAX on the 30th.  I will probably stay at the Queen Mary, as well!  That's where I wish someone was going with me.  Not that the ...

smo    How cool!  We will be getting off on the 3rd and staying a couple of days in Ft. Laud. to celebrate my birthday (10/04).  When no one did anything for my 50th, I told them it was OK because I was going on a cruise for my 51st!  Let them eat cake   LOL    ~  T
