Westerdam changed to Costa Maya for Dec 5 2005 Cruise.

My Opinion is it is up to the dining room staff to enforce or to not enforce the dress code. If they don't have a problem with what you wear no one else should.

Yippie - I Just Booked Celebrity Millennium to South America 12/24/05. Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year. :grin:

Just remember we all Hate Cold & Blizzards

Internet cafes ashore are usually much cheaper than the ship.

One thing I can tell you is that your are allowed 1 L. PP+ 1L. of "Locally Produced" PP Liquor, thats 2 L. PP as long as one is made in the Bahamas.

jbond - Great review the Coral Princess is one of my favorite ships. She is Wonderful

This is what I do. First set up a separate email account for cruising using Hotmail,gmail,Yahoo or any other free account. Then sign up on all the cruise lines for their special deals. Surf the net and sign up with as many on line Ta's that you can find. Then sit back and wait for a deal to come to you. Using this method I paid Under $600 for an Outside cabin on Coral Princess Alaska 7 day. Under $800 for a Balcony for each week on the Westerdam East & Western Caribbean. This Included all port charges fees & Taxes. The best time to book is either way before, just under 60 days before when the TA,s have to turn their unsold inventory,or last minute (3-14 days before)

Thanks Folks, I'll tell you all about it when I return. :grin:

Aruba :grin:

Will be on MOS fo 5 Day Bahamas Oct 10. I will let you know how it is.

Carnival Cruise Lines Three Cruise Ships to Federal Government As Part of Hurricane Relief Efforts 09/03/2005 MIAMI (Sept. 3, 2005) – Carnival Cruise Lines has chartered three of its cruise ships to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for six months as part of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The three cruise ships are the Ecstasy, Sensation and Holiday. The Ecstasy, normally homeported at Galveston, Texas, operating four- and five-day cruises, and Sensation, normally homeported in New Orleans operating four- and five-day voyages, will be pulled from service effective Monday, Sept. 5. Initial plans are for both vessels to be docked in Galveston. The Holiday, which is homeported at Mobile, Ala., operating four and five-day Mexico cruises, will be pulled from service effective Thursday, Sept. 8. Initial plans are for the vessel to remain docked in Mobile. “We sincerely apologize to those guests whose vacations have been impacted by these voyage cancellations,” said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO. “However, given that Hurricane Katrina is the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, we trust our guests will understand that the decision to enter into these charters was the right one. This inconvenience to our guests will provide desperately needed housing for thousands of individuals affected by this tragedy,” he added. All guests whose bookings have been cancelled will be offered full refunds and will have the opportunity to re-book their cruise on any Carnival ship. Guests who re-book on any Carnival ship will receive a $100 per person shipboard credit. Carnival is protecting travel agent commissions on cancelled cruises. As a result of three ships being taken out of service, Carnival is implementing some additional deployment changes within its fleet. The Elation, which currently operates seven-day cruises from Galveston, will offer a one-time six-day voyage departing Sept. 4, then take over the Ecstasy’s four and five-day Galveston program effective Saturday, Sept. 10. Guests on the Elation’s six-day voyage will receive a 15 percent refund and a $50 per person shipboard credit. The Ecstasy’s five-day cruise of Sept. 5 has been cancelled. All guests originally scheduled to sail on the Ecstasy during the affected six-month period will be automatically moved to the Elation. The Ecstasy and Elation are sister ships with identical layouts. Guests will be assigned to the same cabins on Elation that they had booked on the Ecstasy. Carnival Conquest, which is normally based in New Orleans, will move to Galveston after it completes its current drydock on Sept. 11, to operate her original seven-day itinerary to Montego Bay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The 110,000-ton Carnival Conquest entered service in 2002. The Ecstasy entered service in 1991, the Sensation in 1993 and the Elation in 1998. All three are sister ships in Carnival’s eight-ship, Fantasy-class series. The vessels measure 70,367 gross tons and have a basis-two passenger capacity of 2,052 and a total passenger capacity of 2,606. The 46,052-ton Holiday entered service in 1985 and has a basis-two passenger capacity of 1,452 and a total passenger capacity of 1,800. Carnival shipboard employees will be staffing the three chartered ships. The Ecstasy, and Sensation each have approximately 920 crew and the Holiday has approximately 660. Affected Carnival guests will be notified of the cancelled and modified sailings this afternoon. For additional information and questions, guests can contact their travel agent, call 1-800-CARNIVAL or visit carnival.com.
