thanks for the posts. I've tried to look the diffrent ships up on carnivals site but where I live I have the worlds slowest dial up...hoping for high speed someday.  I'll try to look up the ones mentioned.

I'd like to know if anyone can tell me which ships are the newer ones? I leave out of Fl or Al ports. I know the Dream is the newest ship. I've been on the Inspiration, and will be on the Fasanation in November.  I'd like to book another cruise but would like to go on a bigger newer ship, I keep hearing about ships with more than ...

Great to have you join us! you sound like me I'm going to book the Dream for 2010 but having a hard time deciding where I want to room.  We were riveria aft on last cruise the last night we were woke up at 3 am when the ship got to port felt a strong vibration,and jerking. I went back to sleep but hubby was sure we were going down lol. ...

1) shore excursions.. if the excursion you booked is through carnival then they won't leave without you. If you book privately then they will leave you and it's up to you to get to the next port and ship. 2) S&S cards are for purchases onboard,grautuies and they suggest 200.00 per person. But it's up to you. I take dollar bills to ...

When we snorkled in mexico(dec08) the swin flu had came out yet or I defently wouldn't have rented ...

My son(9) and myself went snorkling in Mexico it was great! We swam with stingrays. At first the water was shallow then got very deep. We stayed close to the top. It was hard with him 8 at the time I watched him more than I snorkled lol. the look of amazment in his eyes  was worth every penny.  We rented the equipment but on our ...

Is there a fish & chip station on this ship? I keep hearing about these staions and would love to try it but there wasn't one on the inspiration last year...just wondering about this ship. I'll be on it Nov 28th. thanks

Can anyone tell me if they rent snorkle equipment there? Should I buy some and bring it? I don't want to do excursions I just want to snorkle in the shallow water with my son, looking for shells. We went snorkling in Cozumel last Dec and loved it, the only problem was we had to keep moving couldn't take our ...
