Carnival Destiny Club 02?

i'm going on the carnival destiny next month. i'm 16. is club 02 on the destiny fun? what types of activities do they have?






Answer :
i havent gone on destiny but i have gone on pride.
the teen clubs are really lame actually. and the guitar hero was broken. the first day you go there and when the activities start, you start to make new friends and meet new people. then later on, you just meet up on the cruise somewhere else and not at the club O2. so then later in the end, there are not many people there because everyone has made their friends and are hanging around on the cruise already.
so i suggest you to sign up and meet new people then later on you choose if you want to stay for the activities!

Cruise on Carnival Destiny?

I have recently sailed on the Carnival Destiny and I was wondering if anyone else enjoyed the ship as much as I did. Also what was your favorite place to hang out on the ship?






Answer :
I just cruised her in feb It was an awesome cruise... my fav spots were up on the lido deck by the pool and the band by day and by night I spent a lot of time in the theaters then up to the outside lido deck to star gaze with my hubby... I cant wait to sail Destiny again!!

I recently cruised her in June and I really enjoyed the theatre and made lots of good friends! Thank you for answering!






Answer :
We sailed on /destiny in 1999 when I beleive it was in its first year. It was absolutly beautiful. I had the best time. Loved the Lido deck. It was our first cruise and had no idea what to expect. I was very satisfied.

Anyone travel on the Carnival Destiny?

I am looking for reviews, comments, or feedback on The Carnival Destiny?






Answer :
I wasn't that much of a fan of the Destiny. I mean it was nice but I liked the smaller Inspiration and Imagination better. It was easier to get around. Plus I didn't think the service was as good as the other ships I've been on. I mean it was fine. It's just on the other Carnival ships there was most music, more activities, more entertainment in the dining room. The Destiny they just kinda served you.

Carnival destiny cruise ship luggage?

I am going on a cruise on the Carnival Destiny in a few weeks, and I would like to know if they are strict on their luggage size requirements






Answer :
No they do not.. Unlike airlines, they do not store your luggage..Your luggage will be taken directly from the Airport to the ship and to your stateroom. If you are going directly to the ship, you may take as much as luggage as you want.






Answer :
Your best bet would be to contact Carnival and ask them directly. But I'd trust Burt's answer (above).

Carnival Destiny question?

okay so my friend is going to miami and also going on a cruise,Carnival Destiny,he likes games and such so he wanted me to ask you who have been there if there are games like xbox and stuff availeble there.if not should he bring his own and can he play in his room.
also how is the security there?






Answer :
You might want to contact Carnival. Some ships have the TV's boxed in while others have the wires accessible. Personally, I think playing X box while on a cruise would be wasting valuable time that you are paying for. You can play video games anytime. Enjoy your cruise to the fullest.
Bon Voyage!!

Has anyone been on Carnival Destiny before?

I am going out on thanksgiving week with my family. I am 15 year old guy. I was just wondering if there is alot to do for a kid my age on there. It seems like there is lots off stuff for just adults. And then they have this club thing for teens but it sounds kinda gay because you play like board games. I was just wondering if you were a teen would you go into that program or would you just try to have fun walking around the ship?






Answer :
Don't worry there will be stuff for you to do. I went on a different carnival ship and I am 16 and there was tons to do. At the beginning of the trip you get this little booklet that tells you all about the events coming up for the week for club 02. Club O2 is for ages 15-17. here are some of the things that were going on during my cruise:
Day 1: Two welcome aboard parties
Day 2: jeopardy, battle of the sexes, card game, board games, teen party in the disco, night club @ 11
Day 3: game show mania, who wants to be a millionaire, scene it, mix time (with a dj), dance party @ 10
Day 4: Was a day in port so nothing was happening during the day, but at night, Texas hold'em tourney and late night movie
Day 5:Also at port, karaoke and deck party
Day 6: trivia, amazing race, fear factor, scavenger hunt, basketball/volleyball, dance dance dance!!, then a dance off!!
Last day: ping pong tourney, how to make towel animals,farewell party.
I don't think you will get bored! Tons to do, obviously it will vary by ship but you get the idea, Have an awesome trip, carnival rocks!

Here's some info i found on the carnival website:
From the moment they step onboard, Club O2 teens are part of a cruise experience unlike anything else. Every activity and event -- from outdoor activities 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 hangout with their friends while watching a movie, listening to the latest music, playing video games or joining karaoke jam sessions. We’ve even set up teen-only shore excursions so your young adults can enjoy the sites and sounds of our beautiful ports with their peers.

All activities are coordinated by a Club O2 Director dedicated to keeping the activities fun for our 15-17 year old guests.

Many of our 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 your teen’s cruise experience is unlike any they have ever had before. They are hosts, entertainers and often DJ’s for the teens.

Some of our Club O2 activities include:

• Board Games

• Card Games

• Music Hangs

• Theme parties

Answer :
umm search for girls is a gfood thing to do umm when you go u get everyday they give you a schedule of all the things to do and the times and the locations of it. i am fourteen and i went on the carnival valor over the summer and i took a friend and we hung out but yeah there really wasnt anything for us teens to do







Answer :
I haven't been on the Destiny, but I have been on one of its sister ships, the Paradise, and they had a club for teens. They had all kind of girls dancing, and the guys were having a good time too. Looks like they were having a ball. I think you be ok.

Does carnival destiny have a problem with its ship?

i have been told that they are having some troulbe and missing their destinations.need some more info on this going to be booking next week. thanks






Answer :
Yes!! I was so mad I was scheduled for a short 4 day cruise on February 18th and I was pretty excited because I haven't been on a cruise in a while and they canceled it out of no where!! We did get a full refund and they did offer us a $200 on board credit for our next cruise with them. The problems where due to there propulsion system and have been going on for a while now I was reading reviews on cruisecritic.com from a while ago and they said that the felt that the ship was vibrating due to propulsion problems which shows that it is an ongoing problem.







Answer :
hopefully your not booking the cruise for next week. the carnival destiny is having propulsion problems which caused the cruises of Feb. 13 and 18th to be cancelled.








Answer :
Yes it does. But they are getting it fixed soon and will only affect 2 cruises. So if your just booking now then I can be pretty sure the problem will be fixed by the time you cruise.

Has anyone ever been on Carnival Destiny? If so, what is it like? Did you enjoy it?

My fiance and I are going on Carnival Destiny for our honeymoon. We will be going to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk and Nassau. I was just wanting to know anything and everything about the ship. Thanks in advance! :)






Answer :
Yes, I went on one and it was very beautiful with friendly staff. Top of the line dining with two sittings in the restaurant-early or late. The food is included bit you have to pay for drinks. If you choose the early time you will have to stick to it. The same table will be yours also until you leave the ship.

You can also get pizza 24 hours a day. Your ship-pass to enter on the ship is linked to your credit card so if you swipe it a lot you know what will happen. This link is done as you check in. If there is no credit card then one can deposit money on the pass, refunds can be done before checking out. After you receive the pass go to the casino to the cashier and let her put a string (twirl-up thing) on it for free so you can wear it around your neck.

There are many gift shops, casino and nightly shows in the theater. Additionally, a disco area, karaoke room, sauna, gym and pool among others.

There are always taking your picture, as you stepping on, stepping off and with different characters. They then display them so if you want them you have to buy them. You can also take pics in different costumes, with guns like a cowboy or in some getup.

There is the Captain's Ball where you have to dress in your best. It is not for a long period of time so you might miss it if you stay too long dressing.

On my cruise there was not a 'midnight buffet' but on others there was one. Liquor is very cheap. I find that the ship was very cold but you might be accustomed to the cold.

I have told you all I remember. Enjoy your cruise!

Should I Go On Carnival Destiny Or Imagination?

i want a ship that is fun (3 kids) that will be relaxing has great quality and shows. I want somewhere where somethings happening all the time. i don't want it to be just adults and nightclubs. Destiny Or Imagination? Thanks







Answer :
Destiny is larger and some people think that it is always better to go on the bigger ship. However I've been on both those ships and personally I did not care for the Destiny. It's an awkward layout. I loved the Imagination and that is my favorite class of ships to go on.

Royal seems to put the better stuff on the newer and bigger ships. Carnival has the opposite approach. They put the better crew and better entertainment on the smaller ships.








Answer :
It depends on what you want. Imagination is the newest, It'll have newer amenities and the cruise trends. It also has a nice spa and a water slide area. Destiny I think had a makeover, it has one of those outside movie screens, more shops and has a water slide. Now, with kids and all of that, I think Imagination would be as parents say for kids, 'da bomb'. Oh, and it also has mini-golf, plus the newest and best Circle C (For tweens) and Club O2 (For teens). Also the most fun Carnival Camp ever. Like I said, new spa trends, new televisions, beautiful rooms, actually this sumer me and my parents might go on Carnival Inspiration with my two brothers. (Same boat, different port) Like I said, go on Imagination and have a great time! Happy sailing!






Answer :
Hmmm both are fabulous ships.. but with the family I would do the Imagination... I think. Dont listen to the guy that says pay more for Royal Caribbean. Carnival is JUST as good, if not better in some aspects.. have a good time :D

Carnival: Triumph, Ecstasy, Inspiration, Or Destiny ?

I've been on 2 cruises: Disney Magic & Carnival Imagination. I liked both probably carnival more just because of the atmosphere. (I know disney is a little better) I want to go on another this june with my Friend and 2 parents like 60 years old. My ship choices are: Carnival Destiny, Triumph, Inspiration, Or Ecstasy. What is your opinion on the best of those ? thanks!







Answer :
I agree with Tropics Man. I like Carnival Inspiration best b/c of the layout. BUT....you've already been on that exact same ship. So perhaps you'd like to see a new one.

The Ecstasy is older. I have been on the Destiny and I didn't care for it very much. The layout is the most difficult of all the Carnival ships. So Inspiration is my favorite but if you want to see a different ship (and one that is much bigger and newer) I'd go with Triumph.







Answer :
I have been on the Imagination, Inspiration and the Valor (similar to the Triumph). The Valor was nice because at the time it was brand new, but it had way too many passengers. The lines were long and everything felt crowded. The Ecstasy is one of Carnival's oldest dingiest ships. I wouldn't even want to try it. I really enjoyed everything about the Imagination and Inspiration.






Answer :
I have been on the Carnival Imagination before and the Triumph. Personally I liked the Imagination better because of the layout around the pool area. I liked lounging on the same level as the pool right next to the pool bar area..I'm not much for tier seating like the Triumph has. There was also WAY more chair hogs on the Triumph..I sort of looked at that as a way to get a free Carnival towel for a souvenir..lol.







Answer :
Don't choose Ecstasy....its a drug.

All the carnival cruise ships are pretty much the same thing, I went on Triumph before, and Destiny as well. I didn't notice much of a difference in staff work, food, camps, cows and etc.

Any Recent Travelers on Carnival Destiny?

Going on a cruise in May with my wife on the Carnival Destiny, staying in a balcony room. Eastern Caribbean. Anyone been on the Destiny lately, what was it like? This will be our first cruise ever. Please try to give good and bad, don't just write that it all sucked please. Unless is really did :-)






Answer :
ive gone on the destiny i think it wuz, in 2006. it was a pretty nice cruise. the food in the dining room was amazing. all the waiters were very kind to us. the pool was small, but very relaxing. so was the hot tubs. you are going to love the shows that they have there. depending on the shows, you can see yourself on tv throughout the open corridors live or the next day. i remember the guy on the piano by the bar. he was amazing. very talented. the parties were great, i had such a great time at them. they didn't start until like 11pm because the teenagers have their little parties before the adults do in the same club. your going to love the balcony rooms. they are really open and spacious. it has a really nice homey feeling to it. so overall, the carnival destiny is a great ship. i dont have anything bad to say about it at all. so have fun and make the most of it! :)






Answer :
i went on the destiny over christmas break it is very nice ship it was just refurbished in november. the workers were very nice food waz great and i met alot of people. im 14 and the clubs were great and our cruise went to grand caymen and jamaica it waz very pretty in both places have fun hope i helped everything waz great no problems or complaints!!!!!

What are some cool things to do on the carnival destiny?

im gonna go on one in a couple of days and was wondering what there was to do.









Answer :
It's kind of on Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The list of what there is not to do is smaller than what to do. We have already gotton bored of the stage shows and hang out on the Lido Deck most of the time. Water Slide, hot tubs, pool, stuffing yourself, sitting at the outdoor bar and just enjoying the sea while thinking of those poor bastards back in North Dakota. LOL

Leaving for a cruise in 2 weeks exactly on the carnival destiny.any tips? i am going to be in an interior room?

any tips?
i am going to go to jamaica and grand cayman

Additional Details

i am 14 years old and i don't drink...i will most likely be on the ship walking around without anybody...i will know my mom and dad and other family members (4 other kids) are going to be.








Answer :
I have been on this same ship twice and the same cruise. The last time was in May of 2006. This is one of Carnival's largest ships and although it is older now, it is still a great trip. I was on it when it was only one year old back in 2001 and could tell that it wasn't the same in 2006 but you will not be disappointed.
Grand Caymen is beautiful and I would opt for the sight seeing of the beach, the scuba diving is out of this world there, and the downtown area is mainly jewelry stores as this is the same island where money is laundered famously known. I actually went on this planned trip to a place called Hell there and it was not the best choice as there is better things to do there.
I have a feeling you are going to Ocho Rios in Jamaica. If so, do not miss out on Dunn River Falls. You can take a cattamaren tour there from the boat or a taxi drive away. The only thing I hated about the stops were that they are not long enough and you don't have much time on any of the stops to do all you would want to. The last time instead of paying for one of the boat planned tours, I knew I already wanted to revisit Dunn River Falls so I just got a taxi and went there and had more time to stay there than the bus tour offers.
When you dock in Grand Caymen, there are priate ships that take you to the actual port from the ships. It is beautiful so have your camera ready before you ever get off the ship.
Remember that any liquor you purchase by the bottle will not be allowed in your room and only given to you the day you return to the states to end the trip. That is there way of making big bucks off the alcohol since they don't charge for the food.
They have two huge dinning rooms and I'm sure you've already picked your dinning hour. They assign you a particular dinning room and table and even the other people that will be at your table for the entire trip.
Save your spending money on gift items for Jamaica as you can't beat the prices. They do negotiate so don't pay the price they first offer you on anything. You will need cash for this part of the trip anytime you are at port. If you run out of cash, don't worry as they have ATM's on the ship.
Be prepared if you like to dance and party the night away to stay at the nightclub that is open until 4AM and usually every night there is an after party until about 6AM. I had more fun with very little sleep the entire time I was on the ship each night. I'm not usually a drinker but I did love to dance the night away.
If you are female and are traveling with female companions, please be careful at night in the hallways to your cabin. It is safe but late at night when the party is going, sometimes you can meet some shady characters so always stay together and do not allow any female to be alone at night walking the hallways of the cabin areas.
Most of the interior rooms are small. It is there for you to sleep and relax but not much moving around room. I stayed both times in suites with balconys and even the upper grade suites are not very large. They do provide a safe that runs off of one of your own credit cards to lock and unlock. I would recommend using it for your valuables.
If you want to know anything else, please send me a private message through here and I will respond.
I had the best time of my life the last time I went and also think about signing up for swimming with the dolphins in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. That was an experience I will never forget.
Everyone enjoys different things. It is up to you to decide whether this is for relaxing or for running your butt off until you drop if you want to.
They also have a botanical garden trip in Jamaica. There is shopping when you are exiting Dunn River Falls.
I found the people of Jamaica to be the most beautiful, most spiritual people I've ever met in traveling. I want to go back there and have decided after two cruises that next time I will fly directly to Jamaica I loved it so much. The water is so clear and beautiful also in both Grand Caymen and Jamaica.
I'm envious...
I hope you too have the best time of your life.








Answer :
Bring a highlighter for the things to do list each day. Eat in the dining room as much as you can and order whatever you want. Bring extra hangers for the closet it you can it helps to store your stuff. Don't go to Jamaica alone a crowd is better. Don't wander off into back streets. (I personally skip this port) Grand Cayman is wonderful. The Stingray tour here is the best. Snorkeling here is a hit if you have ever seen the movie "The Firm" they spoke of hamburger reef, you will find that here. Bring a power strip for your plug ins and don't use your cell phone unless you have set it up in advance for international travel or are prepared to pay 2.99 PM and up for service Have fun it will be the best time of your life.








Answer :
I'm 15 and I've been on four cruises, and they are the best vacations imaginable. Here's a list of tips, plus you can email me with other questions.
1. Enjoy the food. Chances are, there's several cafes and buffets that are almost pretty much all the time. Cruises are not the time to count calories. Cruises are a time to order the creme brulee AND the cheesecake for dessert.
2. Dress appropriately. I HATE showing up to dinner looking nice and seeing people in tank tops and shorts. In the dining room there is a dress code, and you can find the specifics on the website. Most nights you can wear ncie pants and a nice top or a simple dress, but here will probably be a formal night where a party dress is appropriate. Check the event papers you get every morning to see the evening's dress code. And remember, no matter what, no jeans or tee-shirts in the formal dining room. Ever.
3. Meet people! Definitely hang out in the teen club, especially the first night. This summer I met a great group of people who I hung out with for the whole cruise. Don't be shy!
4. Do stuff! The days are crammed full of activities, so take advantage of them. It could be rock climbing in the morning, TV trivia in the afternoon, and a dance party at night, plus so much more! This works well in coordination with number 3.
5. Have fun. No matter what, remember you're on vacation!










Answer :
At Grand Cayman, I recommend swimming with the sting rays. That's a really fun excursion. You get to swim with them and you can even feed them and hold them if you want.

As for your stateroom, I recommend either bringing a night light or leaving the bathroom light on with the door open a crack, because interior rooms can get quite dark with all the lights out. This should be done so no one get's hurt walking around when the lights are out (day or night). Also, keep in mind that stateroom do not have clocks. Someone should bring one so you know what time it is when you wake up in the morning.

The Destiny is a great ship. I was on her several years ago. You'll have a good time.









Answer :
Yes...you will want to meet as many people as you can as early as you can.

This is easier than you might think. First, try to go to the first Dinner. Ask to be seated at the large round tables (8 people). This is where most of the meeting of new friends take place. Make an appointment to meet up with them the next day at a designated spot on the ship. This will lead the likelihood of all of you doing shore excursions together.

Once you begin to feel as you if you belong then you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.

Also....attempt to take in as many shore excursions as possible. Take part in all on-board activities as possible.

No doubt you are headed for a most memorable journey!








Answer :
In Jamaica, whether it be Ocho Rios or Montego Bay, Be sure to get to Margaritaville. As far as bringing liquor back on board while in port. Put it in your water bottle and just carry it with you. If the liquor is colored, put it in a pop bottle.

Anyone traveling or have traveled on Carnival Destiny?

I'm looking for some reviews. How were the islands?

Thanks everyone!






Answer :
Yes I have but the islands change and multiple ships go to multiple islands so you could get reviews of the islands without being on the Destiny. Personally the Destiny was one of my least favorite ships on the Carnival line. We did it for my honeymoon and I thought the quality on the Inspiration class of ships was much higher.

If you want a review of the ship, go to cruisecritic.com. I thought the layout of the ship was confusing and difficult to get around. The layout of the pool made it difficult to get chairs. It's a tiered style more like a coliseum or ampitheater so only a couple chairs per level and hard for waiters to walk by. I had to get up to go to the bar each time.

When I was on the Destiny we went out of PR, to Aruba, Barbados, Dominica, and St Thomas. Dominica was my least favorite of ALL Caribbean islands. It's tiny with nothing to do and only one shore excursion which lead several thousand people on a trail to a waterfall. Well when a thousand people are there it is neither beautiful nature or calm and peaceful. We had just a few seconds before being shuffled back and no chance of seeing any wildlife. St Thomas is one of my favorite islands. I've been there several times and each time find something new to see and do. There are tons of shops--great deals on jewelry and on alcohol (unless you are going to St Martin, alcohol is cheapest there).

If you want a review of the islands, what islands are you going to? What shore excursions are you thinking about?






Answer :
I went on the Destiny, I thought it was a beautiful ship, the layout is indeed a bit confusing, it took me 3 days to learn the correct route to the dining room. But I enjoyed the ship because like 80% of the rooms are balconies so it was a unique looking ship. The ports do change, when I went it was San Juan, St. Thomas, Barbados, Dominica, St. Lucia, Antigua, they were all beautiful and had their own flair.

I'm going to a Carnival-Destiny cruise to the Bahamas- What are good Excursions to take?

I know some are pricey but what is worth doing and how do you go about paying for these and buying things on the island? My cruise is from May 31- June 5






Answer :
If you go to Nassau look into a day pass to Atlantis.






Answer :
We did the Atlantis Waterpark and had a blast but it was expensive. If you are going to do atlantis try to book before you go. We paid around $150.00 a person which included lunch (hamburger) but i felt it was worth it. I think you can get the excursion for about half the price if you book through the resort instead of through the cruise line. I posted some pictures of the water park at the link below.

How many "pullman beds or pullout beds" are in a Interior Room of the Carnival Destiny??

I want to go on a cruise to Jamaica with my family on January 3rd!
is there one then??
the bed question @ the top.






Answer :
It depends on the specific room type. Some will have two fold down beds up top (like bunk beds). Others will not have them.

When you book the cruise, they can tell you the exact make up of the room, and how many people it can accommodate.

Carnival Destiny Cruise in January?

I am heading on the Carnival Destiny with my husband January 5th. Although we aren't worried about spending money on alcohol on the ship, we would like to bring some wine onboard. I saw on a posting somewhere that somebody checked on a packed case with alcohol and it was fine. Can anyone share their experiences?







Answer :
Some people are going to give you the text book answer which is you can bring 1 or 2 bottles of wine on board--I am going to give you the real answer:

I have cruised 7 times just in the last year on Carnival and Princess alone. I have brought alcohol including vodka, wine, and other spirits and have NEVER gotten it taken. Of course the cruise lines DO NOT want you to take alcohol on board becaue they will lose money. Honestly, do you think that they are going to go through all 3,000 passengers luggage on board? No way!!! I would pack it in your bag that you are going to carry on the ship with you or pack it in bubble wrap and put it in shoe boxes-- I have known PLENTY of people bring wine and other alchohol on board, saved themselves a TON of money and nothing happened.

here is Carnival's OFFICIAL WORD:

an I Bring Liquor On Board?

A liquor and beverage consumption policy was created in order for Carnival to be able to control the liquor consumption of minors and the quantities consumed that lead to the disruptive behavior of others on board.

Liquor and Beverage Policy

Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages onboard. However, guests (21 years and older only) may bring one bottle of wine or champagne per person on board only during embarkation at the beginning of the cruise. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the dining room or a $14 corkage fee per bottle in the Supper Club. Guests may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages.

All alcohol, additional quantities of wine/champagne or excessive quantities of non-alcoholic beverages will be confiscated and discarded without compensation.

How many beds *plus pullouts or pullman* in a Carnival Destiny Destiny??

I want to go on a cruise to Jamaica with my family on January 3rd!
is there one then??
the bed question @ the top.







Answer :

I have been on destiny and it was a BLAST!!!!!! you guys are going to have so much fun. oh, and before you book the cruise sign up with carnival and give them your email. you will get ALOT of discounts through the emails they send you

Royal Carribean or Carnival Destiny or Hotetor beach paradise all inclusive?

We are more into seeing the sites, and have loved our criuses in the past. In Feb. 2009 we are taking our 18,14 yrs old on a trip either a cruise or all inclusive. A carribean cruise, which ship?or all inclusive to Cancun?






Answer :
I would choose the Carnival Destiny. They offer the best value that I have seen. My kids, 12 and 14, love it. They are never bored, and they love the 24/7 pizza.






Answer :
I would definitely go with Royal Caribbean. I have cruised both and royal gives you your monies worth. They have a lot more to offer onboard so your kids have a better chance of not getting bored and enjoying themselves. Carnival's prices are cheaper and it shows in the quality of service and lack of onboard amenities and activities. I think with royal you would get more bang for your buck and a chance to see some great islands. Go to both websites and compare the ships you are interested in to see what they offer. Also read the reviews on cruise critic. As for the all inclusive, it sounds nice but can add up when you include the all inclusive fees. Also depending on when in February you may start to run into the spring break crowd, and Cancun is a lively spring break destination. That may not be the type of atmosphere you want your kids exposed to.

How many beds *plus pullouts or pullman* in a Carnival Destiny in Interior room??

I want to go on a cruise to Jamaica with my family on January 3rd!
is there one then??
the bed question @ the top.






Answer :
There are 2 beds, with 2 pullouts that pull out from the ceiling. I was just on the exact same ship going to mexico. Have fun !

(The couple's package may have one queen sized bed, with 2 pullouts)






Answer :
generally youll find two lover beds plus maybe a retracteble soffa. All the others are pullmans that means that the beds is stowed against the walls when not needed. Some off them are high up in the roof meaning that youll have to climb a stair to get to them.

For correct information see our cruise lines web page and the floor plan of the ship. There you can find your cabin (by searching after your cabin number) and see whats it have. Othevise have fun! Johan






Answer :
Number of berths ranges from 2 to 5 (yes, 5). there are also Interior Staterooms with connecting doors.

The Destiny will be leaving Jan 3rd for a 5 day Caribbean that includes Ocho Rios, Jamaica

My Fiance and I are going on a cruise for our Honeymoon...can anyone tell me about Carnival Destiny?

We are going on Carnival Destiny? How is the ship?? We are staying in a Balcony Room. What is the formal dinners like? What do we wear? Anything you can say to help us!! Please!!






Answer :
The easiest way is to go to carnival.com and click on ships
then click on the ship destiny , it'll show pictures and all you need for your trip. The ship is very large , and plenty of ammenities. The Balcony room is a very good room much bigger than normal staterooms. The Formal dinners are pretty formal , but it's only one night and it's worth it , we got great pictures of it and the food was awesome. However I must stress that Carnival is a crowded ship , and if youre on youre honeymoon ,not much for seclusion for you and your mate. You wear business casual all over the ship dress shorts and sundresses not really jeans. Your port of calls are the most fun but remember to stick together, youre in a foreign country after all, be safe. And go on tours theyre fun and well worth it. Don't drink too much as that's how you get seasick. Learn to say no to the servers about drinks, after all water and coffee and juice are free. So is room service use it it's free.You need to tip them but you should anyway. Have fun.






Answer :
you will love cruising!!! the Destiny is a great ship, I sailed on her a couple years ago. Sure there will be a crowd but you just have to keep in mind you're on vacation and have a good time. The only time I really noticed the crowds was during lunch in the buffett, getting off at ports and sea days by the pool. On sea days get a chair on the higher decks, that way you'll get a better breeze, view of the ocean and away from the crowds. You can find ways to get away....like your cabin, it is your honeymoon after all *wink wink*.
Formal nights- you can wear a cocktail dress, skirt and cute top, or heck even a ballgown! the other nights you can just wear dress pants, skirts, or sundresses. you can even wear jeans but some people may give you a weird llok, who cares? it's vacation.
hint-sea sickness......dramamine makes you drowsy and doesn't work well with alcohol. but GINGER PILLS are a natural motion sickness remedy. i've only ever been sea sick once and the ginger pills worked awesome! you can buy them at any store in the vitamin aisle.






Answer :
The Destiny is one of Carnival's older ships and she sails from San Juan, meaning there may be a lot of "locals" on the trip. This makes a difference to some people and not to others. It is also a port-intensive itinerary, so you'll be very busy [and spend more on shore trips] - you see lots of different islands, but it's not as relaxing as having several sea days.

Formal dinners can be very dressy, although Carnival supposedly recently revised their dress code [which they were very lax in enforcing anyway], so it's hard to say. You could get by with dressy black pants or long black skirt with a couple of dressy tops and be just fine. Men should at least have a jacket or suit - some men will be wearing tuxes [which you can rent on board, if you like].

If this is your first cruise, I suggest you get a book about cruising from your library or bookstore, or go to CruiseCritic.com. Click on "Boards", then go to any topic that interests you. You might also be interested in "Cruise Styles" ["Romance"] and "Reviews", especially "Member Reviews". You'll get all the info you could possibly use from experienced cruisers.

Have a great cruise and congratulations on your marriage.

One suggestion for Dominica: the WackyRollers canopy/zipline excursion is a lot of fun, if you're up for some adventure.






Answer :
I would try checking out cruisecritics.com. They have a bunch of info on there from fellow cruisers.
I have been on the Destiny once before and I am going again in August and I love it, very nice ship. The Balcony rooms are about the same size or maybe slightly smaller to accommodate for the size of the actual balconies but it is still a great size room you will have plenty of space. My ex boyfriend and I went and we didn't have any problems with space.
Formal night are kinda fun, you will see everything from people who don't get you're supposed to dress up a bit to people who go way over board (no pun intended) and dress in ballgowns and such. I usually wear a gown (yes I am one of those people), but you can get away with a nice cocktail dress with no problems. I love the food on the cruises and the formal night dinner is usually the best (lobster and such).
If your itinerary is like mines where you are at sea everyday be sure to eat as much as you can on the ship to cut back on spending cash on the islands some places can be a bit pricey. See the shows if you can catch them, some are a little corny but it's still fun. We also watched the comedians and watched karaoke. All very fun.
Enjoy your trip.

Carnival Destiny to Key West and Cozumel Lately?

We are trying to book our first cruise, and we found a nice deal on the Destiny.
We read reviews that were not very positive but most of them were dated.

Is there anybody who went on this ship lately?
Please let us know before we strike.

Thanks a lot everyone.






Answer :
I can't comment specifically on Destiny, but I have sailed Carnival's older ships several times, some older than Destiny. They don't get the best reviews because they don't have the latest and greatest features found on new ships. No flowriders, no rock climbing walls, etc. That said, I think they are a perfect choice for a first cruise. They are low cost, and they have many features that are common to all cruise ships.

Carnival is on the value end of the cruise line spectrum, but we have always had fun on Carnival, had nice rooms, and received great service. I wouldn't hesitate to go Carnival for the first time, especially if the price is good. Later, once you've had more experience cruising, upgrade to a more expensive cruise if you want. By then you'll be able to make an informed decision, and decide if it's worth the extra money. Some people move to other lines and some stay with Carnival. They really are an excellent value and you'll have a great time.

Key West and Cozumel are both decent ports, in my opinion. Lots of cruises go to Cozumel, but it's not a bad choice, especially for first time cruisers.

If you have specific questions I did not answer, feel free to message me.

Good luck!






Answer :
The Destiny is one of Carnival's older ships, although I think it has been "refurbished" fairly recently. Don't know how you chose that ship/itinerary, but if you've never cruised before and haven't done any research about cruising, I suggest you check your library or bookstore for a book on cruising. It will give you an overview of the different cruise lines, ships and itineraries. There are a lot of variables from which you will need to choose before you can see a travel agent to book your cruise.

Also don't know where you've checked for reviews, but a great place to try is CruiseCritic.com. Click on "Reviews" to read a review from a pro and also check the "Member Reviews" for any ship/itinerary you're interested in. Click on "Cruise Styles" at the top of the page for info about the demographic that the different lines and ships appeal to. Click on "Boards" to find info about anything and everything about cruising from experienced cruisers.






Answer :
I was on Carnival Imagination last Oct. it had that same intinerary and was recently refurbished like the Destiny was. It was a GREAT time and we are now hooked on cruising. Don't let all the negative reviews scare you. Go and have fun!!

Is the cruise Carnival Destiny a good crusie for teens?

Its my 15th birthday and my family and my friends are going on a cruise with me.We were going to go on Royal Carribean Navigator but the price went up to $500 and we cannotttt afford that,so now we have to do Carnival which is only $199.Is this a fun cruise and would a wild teen like myself have fun?lol. Thankyou.






Answer :
Carnival Destiny is a good ship, you will have fun. Carnival has good kids clubs. You will be going into Club 02 with other kids from 15-17. See below for all the details of Club 02. Have a great time!

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

Younger teens will only be allowed in the onboard disco until 10:45pm. After 11:00pm, any guests under the age of 18 must leave the disco. The Camp Carnival staff will coordinate late night activities for guests 17-years-old and younger. Activities may include a late night movie, Karaoke, "Swim Under the Stars", etc. Program activities and age groups are subject to change.

Hope I helped!






Answer :
Definitely! I went on a Carnival cruise in August and a Royal carribean cruise in November... and well I really wasn't sure which one I liked better!
And are you really asking if Carnival is a fun cruise?? They aren't called the Fun Ships for nothing!
Though I guess, if you happen to have a really boring " cool" personality then yeahh it could be boring, but if your a fun person and your friends are too, then you'd have fun no matter what!

Does anyone know the prices for spa and salon treatments on Carnival Destiny cruises?

And, are tips included in the price or is that extra?

Thanks, xoxo





Answer :
This link will give you a pretty good idea. By the way, the spa usually runs a special on the last day or two of the cruise, and prices will drop a bit.

Good luck!






Answer :
Way expensive on board, and tips are not included.

What is the Drinking age on the Carnival Destiny?

I will be 18 on the cruise and my parents have no problem with me having a few. I have heard some things like when we get out to sea a certain distance i can drink or that my parents can sign a waiver. Someone help!! Thanks






Answer :
Generally, cruise ships follow the same laws as though they were on land in whatever port they have sailed from. Therefore if they sailed from Florida and the drinking age is 21 then there rules are 21 as well.

You will find this to be the same for very many of the rules.






Answer :
NOPE - Carnival does NOT have a waiver.
here's what they policy is:

Drinking Alcohol On Board

The minimum age for the purchase and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in the bars, lounges and gift shops is 21 years of age. Carnival reserves the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone. In the event that Bar/Restaurant/Gift Shop staff are in question that a guest is less than 21 years old, they shall request picture identification, prior to serving the drink or selling the bottle of liquor.






Answer :
You can do anything you want in your room with your parents' consent, but in public areas, no cruise line will serve you.

Which cruise ship is better, carnival destiny or rc navigator of the seas?

I am going to be in my late teens when I go on this 5 day western caribbean cruise in April 2009. The itinerary for both cruises are the same yet the carnival cruise is so much cheaper so I was wondering which cruise would be the better choice.






Answer :
I've never been on any RCCL ships, but have heard good things about them. I've been on Carnival 3 times and Princess once. There is certainly nothing wrong with Carnival. If Carnival is less money, I'd safely say it's the better deal. The amenities are about the same.






Answer :
I was on the Destiny last Feb and had a great time I was a great itinerary.. the ship is old and you can see her age she is not trashed or anything like that it is just that the decor is so 90's. The navigator is a newer class ship so it will have many differences but as far as it goes for me I don't book based on the ship I book based on the itinerary. all ship have the same type of entertainment... I would go with carnival if both the itineraries are similar that would give me more spending money...

Have fun!






Answer :
Navigator is a newer ship probably why the difference in the fare. Also, make sure you are comparing the same cabin types.

Has nobody traveled on Carnival Destiny in a while?

I am trying to find reviews for Carnival Destiny but it seems that nobody has been in the last few months or can be bothered to put their experiences online. Can anyone share experiences from this cruise or point me to where I can find recent reviews? Thanks guys!

oh, I should mention that my husband and I are leaving for this cruise Jan 5th.. our first cruise :-D






Answer :
You want some recent reviews? Try the link below ...

http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreview…

There are four reviews from December, five reviews from November, and more that fifteen reviews from October.






Answer :
Well in Janurary I am going on a cruise on Carnival Liberty. The resteraunt we go to put it up. The owners went on the same ship, Carnival Liberty, and said it was great and they are going again. So it is most likely good. Go to www.carnival.com to see more onfo like the ships floor plans. I would think Carnival Destiny would be a great cruise ship too. =}

Carnival Destiny - What is free and what is not?

On July 27 I'm going out on a one week vacation with my girlfriend. As you know the economy is kinda tight, but we decided to go anyway on the Carnival Destiny Cruise trough the Carribean. I was just wondering, in this cruiseline, what's free? And what things are not included? Is the food free? And if you wanted to have a nice time without spending a lot of money, what would you do? I'll really apreciate any help, thanks.






Answer :
Hello!

I've been on four Carnival cruises, so I'll try to help you out.

Most food is free. The only exception that I've found are the specialty desserts and shakes at the cafe. Everything else is free. There is a buffet and dining rooms are available to eat in. On Carnival, there is 24-hour free pizza and ice cream available as well.

Spa treatments are not included.

Alcoholic drinks and specialty drinks are not included. Neither is soda. These beverages are much more expensive onboard then at home. If you drink a lot of soda, a soda card is available for purchase onboard. You get unlimited soda for a set price.

The shows and activities are included, so do as many of those as you wish!

If you want to have a nice time without spending money, here are some activities you could do. Take your girlfriend dancing, either in the disco club or the jazz club one night. I'm sure she'd like it. Go see a show together. Lay out in deck chairs or go swimming together. If you have a balcony, sit out on your balcony and watch the water go by together. Just do little things that let her know you care.

If you don't mind spending a little money, check out the shore excursions for the ports you are visiting on Carnival's website. My family and I have found cheap excursions to do. Once you are onboard, you can still purchase excursions and sometimes the price is much better last minute, if you don't mind being without a plan.

Hope this was helpful!







Answer :
The carnival Destiny was the first cruise ship I was ever on and still one of my favorites.

Onboard you can enjoy meals in either of the two dining room as well as the deli counter (make sure you try one of the ruebens), lido deck buffett, poolside grill, and 24 hour pizza counter for free. Regular coffee, fruit punch, lemonade and tea or also free of charge.

Alcoholic beverages are an additional charge. You can view a full menu here. http://cruiserfaqs.com/wiki/index.php5?t…

all shows are completely free, if you want to do an excursion you will have to pay extra for those. Depending on how adventurous you are it may be a good idea to just rent a car and explore on your own. To really save money you can make use of public transportation available on most islands. They don't always adhere strictly to the schedule but usually only cost a dollar or two. Just make sure you do your research before you go.

I find the major onboard expense is alcohol and the major shore expense to be transporation/excursions. You can lessen the alcohol blow by smuggling booze onboard (although this is technically against the rules) and you can lessen the transportation blow by taking public transportation just make sure you are back on the ship in time.


You can spend as little or as much as you want on a cruise its up to you. My motto is to cruise cheap, cruise often so I'm a bit of an expert on the subject.






Answer :
My wife and I just took our first cruise too and when we booked our cruise were told that everything is included, meaning meals, buffet or dining room, and drinks like water and lemonade and tea, but soft drinks like coke and others are not, however you can buy a softdrink card that gives you the ability to get drinks off of that card without paying each time..It costs about $5 per day and is well worth it if you drink soft drinks..Beer, wine, and mixed drinks will cost you a whole lot of money..I think stayin sober is a good thing because you'll want to remember everything..Have a wonderful trip...If you order water at the dining room they will charge you $4.oo so always ask if they are going to charge for it.. Tap water is free, and just as good...

Carnival destiny?

How is this ship






Answer :
Despite being bigger, I did not like the Destiny as much as the smaller Inspiration. The layout was not as convenient to get around. The Destiny has a tiered pool area which doesn't allow the waitstaff to move around. Therefore its harder to get a waiter when you want to order. I also enjoyed the Inspirations more diverse international waitstaff. Ours was from Romania. Partly that might be due to the layout of the dining room. The Destiny was a lil overcrowded so our dining table was out in the hallway and we couldn't see when they were doing the dining entertainment. It was still enjoyable but I found the Inspriation to be better overall.

Definitely like what was suggested before read the reviews on cruisecritic. that is by far the best site. Our cruise on the Destiny was last summer and our intinerary also wasn't as favorable. It was out of San Juan and we were at a port the next morning St Thomas, next morning Dominica (which thankfully Carnival no longer sails to), next morning Barbados so I definitely learned that I perfer an itinerary where the first day is at sea to give me a chance to rest and not have to wake up early. Cruisecritic gives reviews of people just coming off the ship and having just done the shore excursion you are looking at. But also check out www.cruisemates.com and www.cruisereviews.com for other reviews.

With the Destiny, while an enjoyable experience, I learned bigger isn't always better. The better layout and better service seems to be on the smaller ships--though you don't get the over-the-top cruise experience of rock walls or surfing on them lol!






Answer :
I haven't been on the Destiny but I have been on the Valor which appears to be quite similar. The Destiny is an older ship but was updated 2 years ago. I had a very pleasant experience with Carnival, so hopefully you will too! Happy Cruising!







Answer :
I've not been on the Destiny since shortly after its first sailing. Back then, it was a pretty nice ship, but I'm not sure of the current condition. It is a little on the old side now and my last few cruises with Carnival has not been what it used to be, on all new ships.

Since I'm not much help with the particular ship, I will include a link to some reviews for you to look over.

Are there sufficient teen activities on the new Carnival Destiny ship?

In April I will be going on a five-day cruise on the new Carnival Destiny ship. I'll be traveling with a school trip, and we're all high school students. Are we going to be able to go out to dance and stuff, are there special teen sets at the spa? Specifically for that, how much will a spa day/halfday cost?






Answer :
For 13- to 17-year olds, there's a teen version of Camp Carnival, featuring a teen casino night, "coketail" parties, make-overs and fashion tips from the salon and photography workshops which have been added to enhance the teen program.

Carnival Destiny is the first of Carnival Cruise Lines' five Destiny-class liners. This ship has some of the best nightlife at sea, with entertainment for every taste and age group. Carnival Destiny also boasts one of the largest casinos afloat and a spacious spa and fitness center. Guests will find a huge variety of entertainment and dining options, excellent food, spacious and comfortable cabins, friendly and professional service, and an exceptional value for the dollar.

Spa: A massage is typically around $90 - $110. Take advantage of ship discounts on port days. Most shipboard spas are operated by Steiner's of London, and the staff, who works on commission, often gives you a sales pitch (they sometimes even call it a "prescription") that calls for you to buy several of their products.

Savings Tip: If you get a sales pitch and do not want the products, just smile and say you will think about it and get back to them. Or be bold right up front -- and ask not to be bothered with sales pitches at all. Another tip: check your ship's daily program of activities for ads for spa treatment specials that may be available one day only or during certain hours of a given day.

What is important to remember on Carnival Destiny cruise?

In March I am going on a cruise with the Juniors and Seniors of my high school band via Carnival cruise lines. We will be on the ship Carnival Destiny!!! This is my very first cruise. I am 17 years old and I do not know what to expect.

So... What is to expect on Carnival Destiny?
What is there to do for teenagers?
What should I take with me?
~TIPS TIPS TIPS~






Answer :
Do's- Keep informed of the Daily events schedule!
Find one as soon as you get onboard. Try to establish how your table arrangements are being made and always opt for the dinning room as opposed to the banquet deck lunch, better service, more quality time with your friends and it is where you'll get the best advice from you waiter as to what to do ashore.

Do's- Think outside the group if you find someone that is like minded and find a place away from the group. (You will find this more challenging than you may think, just try to be alone, I personally challenge you. Remeber your not being "paranoid" if someone is actually following you!

A ship is a small villiage and eyes are everywhere, stockers will have little or no difficulty finding you unless you are aware and can quickly dissapear, this is why you "must" be aware of the scheduling so you can quickly avoid the crushing sound of the "maddening crowd". Once you have found a "like minded" travel companion you can use the schedule to attend the events you wish to (get a good watch set to onboard time and sync) familaries yourself with the various places on the ship well in advance. You will find these "deckplans" on line under Carnival Crusies. This is the way you and your friend will be able to steal away from the events separately and redevous at a pre determined spot before you make your finial escape.

Don't- Don't Drink too much, not at all would be better! It is completely overated and some things are much more fun if your sober.

Do's-Watch out for the drunks especially your drunk sisters, they will thank you later!

Don't- Have anything to do with Cruise staff entertainers, Crew members or member of the culinary\kitchen staff. It's your vacation and you simply provide them with entertainment while their earning money, it is after all "YOUR VACTION EXPERIENCE NOT THEIRS"

Do's-Place your passport (if one is necessary) with the ships chief pursure. Maintain a copy of your passport on your person whenever you leave the ship.

Did I mention Don't-Don't Drink too much?

Do's-Watch people make fools of themselves while drinking too much!
Watch love affairs and boy friend\girl friends destroy their relationships because they've drank too much!
Observe how the Alpha Male and Female that generally coexist beautifully destroy each other while drinking too much.
I highly recommend crashing a "Bill W" event generally on the ship board weekly schedule, you' ll probably find your band leader or chaparons at the meeting.

Be aware that the laws protecting you on land are left to the interpretation of investigators and the ships captain. This should concern young women in the case of any allegation with regard to rape.

The Sea is beautiful, the ship is beautiful, the service is beautiful, my Nikon is beautiful.

Make nice memories that you can remember.

Oh! You can expect the Senior boys to hit on you and your best looking friends in the Junior Class the ones they have been having nothing to do with until now. No it's not the sea Air!

safetymax out!

First off, remember that the drinks they try to give you when you get on the boat are NOT free! :D Ok, you can't drink, so on to sound advice....

A lot of its going to be about sunbathing and playing in the pool. If you're not into that, there's always plenty of food on the Lido deck and room service round the clock. Night time is fun b/c the clubs open up. You and your friends should be able to pack the under 21 club. You can learn more about your boat on the Carnival website. Outside of that, just don't do anything stupid in a foreign country when you dock and be back before the boat leaves port.

As for what you should take? Well, heavy sunscreen and aloe. The sun is more penetrating down there then you would think. Good idea, is to visit the Homeland Security website for travel tips and requirements for certain items and liquids. I know...that's boring, but you'll thank me when the fuzz is confiscating your friends stuff and not yours b/c you followed the rules. No joke :)






Answer :
I went on the Carnival Imagination, and it was a great experience.
During the day for teens they have cheesy activities, I mainly hung out by the pool and hot tub. At night they have discos and dance parties, and go to shows as a part of the teen club.

Bring a bikini and some tanning lotion, you'll need it (:

Carnival Destiny ?

I'm going on the Carnival Destiny in a week and I wanted to know if I'm 15 can I still go on Spa Carnival? I look like I'm older than 15 and I'm less than a month away from being 16 so could I get away with it? I have a few other questions also if you wouldn't mind:

Is there a movie theatre? What types of movies do they play?

Is there a golf course? Do you need to bring your own golf clothes?

The shore excursions are kind of expensivel, can you get cheaper excursions on the island?

Im going to the Southern Carribean. Can I swim with Dolphins?

Is the Club for teenagers fun or no?

Finally do the spas have mud baths or anything free?






Answer :
You can go to the Carnival website to get a list of what amenities are on the ship [movie theater, etc].

They wouldn't have golf on the ship, of course, but at some ports you can do a golf excursion.

You can do your own excursions on any of the islands, but some are easier or safer to do this on than others. The only islands on your itinerary that I've been to are St. Thomas and Dominica. StT is pretty easy to do on your own, provided you've done your research and know what vendors to use, where to go, etc. In Dominica, there is a really neat "canopy tour/zipline course" that you can probably only do through the ship [we did it independently because our ship didn't offer it]. It's really an adventure - very challenging, but fun! St. Kitt and St. Lucia are both ports which I've read are doable on your own but can be somewhat unsafe. If you do go on your own, you need to be SURE and get back to ship on time, as they will leave without you if you're late, unless you're on one of their tours.

NOTHING in the spa is free.

Don't know anything about the teen club, except that it's supposedly a good idea to at least go the first day, just to meet some of the other kids.

For lots of great info, especially about the ports, go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then go to "Ports of Call" or any of the other boards that interest you.

Have a great cruise. And be sure and allow plenty of time to get to and through the airport in San Juan - I've read that it can be a real zoo on cruise days.
