      We love those sneaky interior cabins with windows because they’re super affordable… but I think we’ve determined that we’ll be balcony people every time we cruise to Alaska! We don’t mind the interiors other times though!! :P

      Monica, Carnival has been running some specials lately that give you a free interior or ocean view. Balconies for $30.00 and Suites $150.00 All you need to qualify is a valid VFIP #. You are responsible for taxes and port fees.

      We love that 4K interior because of the price, and we usually get it any time we sail a Spirit-class ship. But something about Alaska just begs for a balcony, ha ha... That's funny about the ads, as YT gets to pick those out on our behalf and we have no say. Love it!! :P

    I sailed Carnival Miracle back in 2011 and it looks exactly as I remember it. It is all still literary themed? I remember a place called Gatsby Garden on that ship that had port holes and cute little area to sit and watch the sea. Also there was a lounge that was Alice & Wonderland themed. I think they had comedy in there. How amazing that you were able to get an upgrade to a balcony.

    So fun watching, after being on two weeks before you guys. I'm homesick! Interesting note we figured out between roll call groups...deck 8 cabins DO have lamps with USB ports. Not sure why it hasn't reached the whole ship, but if you're on deck 8 you're good to go. We were in 8270 and other members posted photos of theirs on deck 8. So fun seeing all the staff I loved, especially glimpses of Zora at the alchemy :) I was kinda shocked at how good the MDR was too..actually best I've had on a Carnival ship in a long time! I had the roast chicken too and omgosh it was yummy! We found the buffet probably the worst in a long time though. Just avoided. The staff was just incredible on this ship and I reinforced how much I love the smaller ships, Spirit class being my favorite. Such a better social atmosphere and better service. Oh...and then there was the Alaska part ;) Thanks for your hard work putting these vids out.

      Oh wow, that’s crazy! I do remember before the shutdown, they were replacing lamps on some ships to add USB options. Makes sense!!

      Any Spirit-class ship has been our favorite, but I guess Luminosa is taking over the Spirit itineraries. So Miracle or Luminosa for us.

    HI D + Jay. The one time I would shell out the gold nuggets for a balcony would be on an Alaska cruise. we are going this year (hopefully, given the last 2 years of events...) and booked the balcony room for my in-laws. We are in the cheap seats, although have a window with a view of the lifeboats...

      Yes, we use the at-home test, but it must have the video telehealth in order to qualify for travel purposes. We chronicled our first experiences with the test here: czcams.com/video/felpqrm6lzI/video.html

      Not that we’re aware of, unless you can get an appointment at a CVS or Walgreens or similar. Most options would be paid testing.

    Hi, I will be cruising 6 days on Spirit from Seattle. We are going to stop at Juneu, Tracy, Ketchikan on August 4, 2022. How do I know if this is inside passage or open sea? I heard it could be rough if not inside. Please advise. I heard cruising from Canada is definitely inside passage but not sure about Seattle. Love your Chanel!
