Funtastic Holiday Cruises Holiday Sailings

A porter was right there ready to grab our luggage. Now my hubby and I were staying in a suite and we purchased faster to the fun for the rest of the family. The porter kept saying “Now this is the last time I am going to see you, Now this is the last time… last time” I finally stopped gawking at the massive ship and tipped the guy. We grabbed our carry on items and headed into the building.

Same juice, thin cut fatty bacon, and same pancakes. I guess if you are a I want my eggs over easy kind of person then this would suit you. All you need to do on our Christmas cruise is unwind, enjoy the adventure, and make the most of your deserved time away from it all.

Ready for Your Holiday Cruise with Carnival?

But Hubby thought we should splurge so I had no clue it included a nice seating area. We sat and waited for our time to be called. After about 15 min, the announcement was made for Diamond and Platinum members to board.

Vacation Deals

Perhaps you have friends back home who’d love a bottle of tequila from a Tequileria in Cozumel, Mexico, coffee from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica or pearl earrings from Grand Cayman. Back on the ship, clothing, fine jewelry, beauty items and sweet candy treats are all available at a variety of shops. We got back to the ship and decided to have a last lunch at the pasta shop.

That night was the second formal night and we opted to do the Buffet again. We were tired from the sun and wind and rough seas so we had a chill night and headed to bed early. Hubby played poker and kids hung out with their friends. We just got off the Carnival Dream on Sunday Dec. 30th.

Valentine's Day Cruises with Carnival

All you want for Christmas is breakfast in bed… On a cruise you can have just that, with 24-hour room service. Call in the morning for steaming hot coffee and breakfast in bed. You might feel like having some snacks while you’re watching a movie in your stateroom or ice cream before bed — they’re just a phone call away. Water Shuttle PriorityYou will have priority water shuttle service from ship to shore (multiple departure times may be possible) so you can explore ashore as quickly as you want to. When ready to go ashore, if not on a Carnival shore excursion, present yourself at the Guest Services Desk. I am sorry to report that I didnt attend many shows or events.

A variety of other dishes will also be available, as well as several sweet desserts. Carnival Cruise Line has released its 2021 Christmas season schedule, which includes when each of its vessels will be decorated for Christmas. We decided to do a little shopping. We hit one shop and were able to find things we liked. When asked about pot, I explained that I am from Colorado and our pot is better than theirs. My kids however were hassled about smoking pot.

Before You Board

Cozumel is a ton of fun and so many endless possibilities of things to do. We could not get off the ship until 10am. We had breakfast in the buffet area again. Again-nothing spectacular to write home about. Carnival is not the best for food in my opinion.

We have cruised with them in groups of 2s and 3 when they were younger (minus parents), once on the Ecstasy and twice on the Triumph. We all had so much fun, they have begged us to do a another cruise with all the cousins together (sans parents). Like you, the only must do was/is dinner together. On the other cruises they were part of the kids club, had to check in every hour and stay together, but they were just 8 to 13. At that time their favorite things were ice cream runs at least every hour, the water works  (which we went with them) and board games in the suite.

Good thing I need to lose a few (50) pounds and can stand to not overindulge. This time we wanted to get off as soon as we could because my kids had a 1pm appt for a dolphin swim. They wanted everyone to take the stairs and those who had bought faster to the fun or suites or diamond and platinum were supposed to get off first. Well that didn't happen… Everyone just crammed the stairs. My daughter had her knee scooter and could not do the stairs… NO elevators available. I had to swim downstream in the sea of people to find a carnival person to get an elevator for my daughter and then swim upstream in the sea of people headed downstairs back to my kids.

Guests can watch their favorite Christmas movies at the Carnival Seaside Theater™, at their stateroom televisions or at Camp Ocean™. A major highlight is the spectacular live Holiday Show presented on stage by professional singers and dancers as well as talented kids. Dr. Seuss™ fans young and old will be delighted to see an appearance by The Grinch. Just a word about my teens- I am not writing much about their perspective but I will tell you that my boys hung together with a group of about 20 kids.

I said something to one of the Carnival attendants and she said there was nothing they could do about it. If you don't have FTTF or other then you wait? I bought FTTF just for this reason. Cozumel is one hour ahead so it was 11 their time when we started to get off the ship and about 1140 when we got off. THe port is a long walk so we hightailed it as fast as my daughter could scooter and headed for the taxi stand.
