I know what you mean, I get on the Carnival website almost every day and love to see our days til we cruise dwindling down.  i can't wait for it to be under 30 days.  We have had such crudy weather lately that it makes us want to be on that cruise even more. We are cruising with my sisiter, brother-in-law and good friends so us girls ...

When we sailed on the Triumph in March 2009 we booked our excursions and paid for them with our credit card at the time we booked them.  We did book one excursion on the ship , it was one that you could only book after the ship sailed, and that excursion was put on our sail and sign card.  I agree with you that it is nice to have the ...

We upgraded from a balcony on deck 8 to a suite for our cruise on the Triumph last March.  I booked online but was called by a carnival PVP in early February and offered an upgrade fro $400.00.  This was a 10 year anniversary cruise so we splurged and took it.  A suite is really nice, more room and VIP check in and out but if we are ...

With a suite you get VIP check in and you get to get off first at the ports and during debarkation.  The suite is roomier for sure and I feel once you get any cabin with a balcony you won't want to go back .  We love a balcony cabin and last cruise we did upgrade to a suite and the VIP on and off.  Of course who cares what cabin ...

WE have not been on the Liberty yet, we are going 3-20-2010 but we were on the Triumph March of this year and my husband,brother-in-law and close friend just wore dress pants,long sleeved dress shirts and ties on  the two dress nights.  We saw everything from dress pants and shirts to jeans, shorts and suits and tuxes on dress night. We ...

There are no irons in the cabins because of fire hazard but they have them in laundry rooms which are on each deck with cabins on it. Be aware that a lot of ironing is done for elegant night so you will want to keep that in mind, Have fun on the Liberty, we will be on her in March 2010.

We bought the DVD made on board last March 2009 and it is in a bigger black case like you would get with any dvd you purchase at a retail store. The label is in the carnival signature colors of red and blue.  We purchased ours from the photo dept. on the Triumph.  Hope this helps.

We are headed back in March for our third cruise and will be taking less clothes with us.  try to keep a list of what you don't use so you can leave it home next time and you will want to go again. The shows on the ships are great so be sure and see some and try out all the different places to eat. You really need to try the chocolate ...

My husband and I each take a large suitcase (25-26 inch) and we fly  from our home in Illinois so we also take i caryon each.  Each cruise we go on we take less clothes and they do have laundry rooms on the ship so you can wash clothes if you need to. Hope this helps.

My name is Cindy. I get more excited for our cruise each day. I plan on being well informed of all there is to do on this cruise.  My sis and I are determined to take less along this time too. What are you and your son doing in Miami before the cruise,isn't it? We will have time on the day we return to see some sights.
