For those that love to sail Carnival and sail often....?

I've done several Carnival cruises and am just about to go on the Carnival Glory. It will be my first time on a Conquest class ship (Glory Valor Liberty Freedom Conquest).

If you have been on that ship (or a sister)--what did you think of the layout of that class of ships as opposed to the Destiny or Triumph class? I am not a fan of those layouts. I think it's difficult to get around and the multi-tiered pool is difficult for waiters.

Or what did you think of the layout of the Glory compared to the Fantasy class (Elation, Ecstasy, Sensation, Fascination, Imagination, Inspiration, Paradise)?

So I need a multiple Carnival cruiser. Do you like Glory class more than Desiny/Triumph class? Like Glory more than Fantasy class?

Thanks!







Answer :
We have sailed the Carnival Conquest several times as well as the Carnival Ecstasy once.

The Conquest class ship at 110-tons provides a very smooth ride. I hardly feel any motion while sailing this ship.

All of the main entertainment is on Deck 5.

It is a bit challenging to get to the main dining room as you have to access from the floors above but no problem after you first visit.

The Conquest class dining rooms provide for spacious dining and many of the tables have views of the sea. It is large enough that the noise level is low.

The larger Conquest ship has many common areas and you can be at the party or in the quite, depending on your preference.

The best cabin floor is the Verandah (Deck 8) forward. A one flight of stairs up to the Lido deck. Plus no noise from the theater or casino on the 5th deck.

The Ecstasy was too small for my taste. Probably won't sail that class ship again.





Answer :
I have not been on the Conquest class but have been on the Spirit class which is very similar and after getting used to the different layout actaully loved it (ive been on the triumph, Victory, Legend, Pride, Elation, Imagiantion and Fasciantion (3X)...The Fantasy class is very similar to Triumph but you should love the Glory, Ive heard nothing but good about her, make sure you make reservation for the supper club, its worth every penny







Answer :
my personal favorite is the fantasy class. The conquest class is alot like the triumph but a bit larger My stateroom on the liberty was on the lido deck right next to the pool. Most of the important places are mid ship right next to the elevators so go for a midship stateroom.






Answer :
I sailed on the Carnival Valor in May out of N.Y.,and enjoyed alot.It was a nice someth sail.It still took some time to find things a son any ship but I got use to it.






Answer :
I have been on 8 Carnival ships and Conquest was (and is) by far my favorite.

The ship is HUGE, but easy to learn and get around.
We are sailing her again next June







Answer :
i've been on both Carnival Glory & Carnival Fantasy.
Uhmm. Glory was our Most Recent Cruise [June 21,2008] and Fantasy was the cruise we took before Glory. [December 16, 2006] We have also toooken Miracle.
Glory has a nice Layout and it very up-to-date.
It's Enviroment is Nice and Soothing.
The staff is friendly and the ship has nice calm places to be alone [at the end of deck 6 you can go out by the Bridge and lay out. Most private place on the ship, though theres the occasional Peeking eyes from the Bridge, a bunch of horny men. ha.] im fully in love with Glory and wouldn't mind going back on it something else. Though i cant say that about Fantasy. I loved Fantasy but however i wasnt as hooked to the Ships layout and the inside of the ship. it's a older ship, though it got the new pool update. I wasn't taken in as easy about its layout. Everything seemed SOOOO far away.
I'm 13 and i've so far been on three cruises. my mom and dad have been on about 6. As soon as i stepped off of glory i couldn't Help but ask something although i knew my mother might get mad. ha. i asked her when we were going on our next cruise. ha. kinda stupid of me. We might be going back on one in december of this year. Im totally siked and i hope to go on Triumpth it seems cool, though glory totally OWNS it. Totally go with Glory! it's Awesome and it's New, so to speak.
Go with Glory, you'll love it.
Go on one that goes to St.Thomas.
St.Thomas was TOTALLY Beautiful!
We stood outside thirty minutes before we were supposed to arrive just to watch us dock and come into the island. DEFFIANTLY watch the ship approach the island of St.Thomas! It's just such a beautiful Sight. it's Breathtaking!
If you go, go to Magens Bay BEACH! it's the Prettiest Beach there! No joke!


Have fun on your cruise!

Are Carnival Cruises Fun (teenager)?

I'm going on a carnival cruise this summer (on the Fascination) and I'm really excited but also kind of worried. I was reading about club O2 and I have a couple of questions;
1. Do they make you do activities? (if they start something and you don't like it, could you just walk out)
2. I'm really shy, is it easy to make friends on the cruise?
3. What are some good things to do? (I'm afraid that if I don't do O2 activities I'll get bored quickly)

Thanks for the help, and if you have any other tips please give them!

*I'll probably be going in late July and it's a cruise to the Bahamas







Answer :
I've been in Club 02 on the Fascination! I loved it. It's really cool and modern looking, perfect for the age group.

You aren't forced to do anything. You can come and go whenever you want (as long as they're open). You can also ditch the club if you aren't having fun there, and hang out with your friends somewhere else.

They treat you (or at least, they did for me) the appropriate way they should. They're not going to baby-sit you, but they'll make sure you don't cause too much trouble. Basically the director organizes activities and hangs out with you.

If everyone's doing Karaoke and you don't want to sing, you can sit and watch, or hang out with someone instead. Sometimes when they didn't have anything exciting going on, we would leave to go to play mini-golf or go to the buffets or shows or somthing.

It's very easy to make friends! I found Club 02 very useful for that. I'm shy too, so I didn't approach people around the ship, though you still can. I prefer having a lot of people my own age in one place so it's easier and less awkward.

I recommend that you join Club 02 on the first night. If you decide to join near the end, everyone else has already bonded and you're like the outsider. It's fun on the first night cuz everyone was getting to know each other.

Their activities are fun. When I went on the Fascination, there were probably only 10-20 people and we weren't really into dances, so the director let us play video games and other things instead. They also have a fun thing called "Battle of the Sexes" which is a whole bunch of competitions, boys vs girls. Another fun thing I loved was the gigantic water balloon fight we had! The Fascination has a big water balloon launcher on the pool deck and we had a great time. They will give you a list of activities and their times, but they won't stick to the schedule if nobody really wants to do them.

Besides Club 02, you can:
- hang out with people somewhere else
- eat! (buffets 24/7)
- shop (they have a bunch of little shops onboard)
- watch shows
- go in the pools/hot tubs
- have fun on their big waterslide
- play mini golf
- play ping pong
- play basketball
- go to the arcade (right beside Club 02)
- take lessons
- join contests
- join parties/activities all over the ship
- go to the spa
- work out at the gym
- jog on their jogging track

I loved exploring the ship. It's an older one but it's still big and beautiful! I especially loved the view we got at night. My friends and I went to the top deck at night and went to the very front (in front of the mini golf) and the view was so cool. Oh, but it's very windy at night! Even if you're in the Caribbean or Bahamas, it's really windy on the top deck at night.

Another tip - be careful with how much you spend! It's easy to get carried away because their system is cashless, and you use their Sail & Sign card like a debit or credit card. If you drink a lot of soda, be careful because they are very expensive when they all add up! If you're going to drink a lot, get a Fountain Fun Card. For a few dollars a day, you'll get unlimited fountain drinks. Normally each beverage is a few dollars.

Pack light. If you're in a regular stateroom, it will be very crowded. The cabins are tiny and you have no room for your stuff, so only bring what you really need. You won't be spending too much time in your room anyway.

Anyways, that's all I've got at the moment. Have fun on your cruise! =)







Answer :
1- No, your not forced to do anything.
2-Is easy to make friends at the Club 02 because its all kids around your age.
3-You can go in the pool, play basketball, mini-golf or take a jog. May want to see the shows at night, which are excellent.

Club O2 (ages 15-17)
From the moment they step onboard, Club O2 teens are part of a cruise experience unlike anything else. Every activity and event -- like basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, pool parties and high-energy dance parties -- has been specially created with 15-17 year-olds in mind.
Club O2 daytime activities are designed to be a little more relaxed. Teens can hang out with their friends while watching a movie, listening to the latest music, playing video games or joining karaoke jam sessions. Carnival has even set up teen-only shore excursions so young adults can enjoy the sites and sounds of beautiful ports with their peers.

Many Carnival ships feature a dedicated lounge designed just for the Club O2 program. These hot spots feature comfy seating, video monitors, a state-of-the-art dance floor and an area to enjoy Coca-Cola products and other non-alcoholic specialty drinks.

Club O2 Directors are hired and trained to spark the interest of the teens and get them involved. Each director brings their own unique style to Club O2. Their motivation and dedication to the program ensures every teen's cruise experience is unlike any they have ever had before. They are hosts, entertainers and often DJ's for the teens.

Activities for Club O2 may include:

Board Games
Card Games
Music Hangs
Theme parties
Lido Deck Activities
Reality Games Shows
Trivia and scavenger hunts
Pool Parties

Sounds like a fun cruise!


Hope I helped!







Answer :
When I was 17 I went on a cruise with my school, chaperones, many rules to follow, and my mother. It was STILL one of the best times I have had. There is plenty to do although there were a couple of times during the day that I got bored, but I would just find a lounge chair and stare off into the ocean and relax a bit. Also yes you can just walk out of activities. I did during line dancing. Won't try that again. I met quite a few cool people my own age and I was a shy person so if you're outgoing you should have no problem meeting people your own age.






Answer :
The first cruise I ever did was a carnival cruise and I was maybe 13 or 14. When we got on the boat my mom checked out the teen club on board but it wasn't something me or my sister were thrilled about, we found it more fun to walk the ship! I'm not saying that the club was boring it's just being on the cruise, my first time, was such a thrill for me that I wanted to see the people walking on board and be involved with them, see the sights, not be stuck in a particular section of the ship. You won't get bored on the ship trust me. You'll find stuff to do, the ship has activities that they tell you about each day so you can plan around that, but just being on the ship will be enough of a thrill to keep you entertained.

Have a great cruise! I know you're going to have a great time!

Carnival cruise employee contact information?

How do i get in touch with a Carnival cruise crew member?
Ship name Fascination
Sailed on may 22 2006...







Answer :
contact the main office for that cruise line with you can find online, carnival.com, but they are gonna make you have a VERY good reason that you need to contact the crew member, such as a family emergency. You could also try contacting an international operator and ask how to place a shore-to-ship call to that vessel, speak with Management and explain why you need to contact.






Answer :
i am wondering the same thing. i sailed on may 26th w/ fascination. please let me know if you have any luck contacting an employee...it is an emergency for me.

Does carnival cruise do anything special for you for your honeymoon?

Answer :

they sent a small bouquet of flowers to the room with a congratulations card..but it wasn't from the cruise ship it was from the travel agent..i'm so envious..i love our honeymoon cruise..your gonna have so much fun!!! congrats and good luck!!






Answer :

Nope, unless you are willing to shell out some money for their honeymoon extra packages :massages, flowers, chanpagne and chocolate covered strawberries etc.

Good luck






Answer :

Yes they do. You need to call them & tell them though. They usually do a cake or flowers. I've heard of different things.






Answer :

Many places do, with a copy of the license. The only thing is if your state has your SS# and/or mother's maiden name on the paperwork, take a big black marker to it. That's not information you want floating around out there.
