I just wanted to say that we booked a fabulous cruise. We got a $50 on board credit. Our ship was Carnival Pride.
My comments are as follows:
Stores: prices are ok. We bought 2 shirts for $20 the first day and then on the last day the store advertised that they were on sale for $10 each? That is what I paid the first day? Candy bars were $2+ and the “pay by the pound” candy did not have a large variety of candy. The jewelry store had great sales on lots of different types of jewelry and items. Michelle in the jewelry store was fantastic and very friendly. The watch sale was great. You got a red or yellow ticket when you bought something in the jewelry store, then you came back for drawings. You had to be present to win the prize. That was a great idea to get you in the store to buy more items. I missed dinner to go to the drawing but did not win. I had the 8:15pm dinner seating.
Fantastic Room- Some noise from doors below room but after "quiet" hours were over. 7am-10pm. I loved watching them load the ship with all food and luggage. We decorated our door and window. After getting off at ports, we could see our room from outside. Fun!
