Cruising Carnival now until June 1st & wanting to purchase Faster to The Fun look now it may be available. Per John Heald. Limited #

07/26/2024

For my Carnival cruisers with a Gold or higher VIFP status.

I have a couple announcements:

1) The $25 Casino money promotion has stopped.

2) The onboard drink coupon is now a Welcome Aboard drink which means the very first drink you purchase onboard with a value under $16 will be on Carnival. That may be a soda, cup of coffee or milk shake at Java Blue or an alcoholic beverage at a bar.

Are you ready to book your next cruise?? Call, text or email me.

Cruise ships from Galveston were able to depart yesterday and today to get out before Hurricane Beryl hits the Texas coast. The port is now closed and will remain closed until they call it all safe.

Ship Captains number one responsibility is to keep everyone onboard and their ship safe during storms and they are very good at their job.

Please keep our first responders and our Texas coast in your thoughts and prayers as Beryl heads their way.

Galveston Wharves offices will be closed Monday, July 8, due to Tropical Storm Beryl. Also, on Sunday, July 7, the port advised port tenants and employees working at the port to cease operations and vacate the premises in anticipation of flooding and high winds in and around the port complex through Monday. In the event of a port-related emergency, call (409) 766-6169.

Are you ready to wake up to this view? Then let’s talk about getting you booked on a cruise. I took my love for cruising and turned it into a small business.

05/15/2024

Cozumel still holds a very special place in my heart and I espically love Carnivals port area. So much so we walk there even when we have cruised Royal and docked next door.

Both port areas offer bars, restaurants and shopping along with shops that offer free tequila tastings and if you have never tried Mexico tequila you should, it’s amazing!!

I love the manmade beach area at Pancho’s Backyard restaurant with hammocks, tables, cold beer, strong margaritas and amazing chips and guacamole. Next to Pancho’s there is a massage area as well as the fish pedicure tanks.

05/14/2024

If you are cruising on Carnival and stopping in Cozumel without a doubt one of the best and most unique shore excursions is Tabasco's Chef Maestro: Cooking, Tasting & Drinks…we have had the opportunity to do this twice now and both times were amazing!! And don’t worry if you have allergies they work with you, we had one gluten free and one dairy free.

Roatan Honduras has two cruise ports, Mahogany Bay and Coxen Hole. They are about a 15-20 minute drive between the two ports so always make sure you know which terminal your ship is docking in before making plans.

Mahogany Bay is the largest of the two, opened in 2009 and is operated by The Carnival Corporation for exlusive use by Carnival and Princess.

When visiting in March of 2024 on Royal Caribbean we stopped in Coxen Hole, aka The Port of Roatan. It is not as large as Mahogany Bay and does not offer beach access or the chair lift but it is a beautiful smaller port with bars, restaurants, shopping and a pool with a sandy manmade beach area and a swim up bar. It is called upon by RCCL, NCL, Virgin Voyages and Celebrity Cruise lines.

05/14/2024

I love the port of Costa Maya because there is so much to do in the port itself. It does have a longer pier so there is a little bit of a walk or you can take the free tram. Once inside the port there is a hut on the right where most prearranged shore excursions will meet at the designated time. Remember when booking excursions in the Caribbean some of the beaches are prone to seaweed so keep that in mind when planning your day. This port is known for its diving.

The port itself has so much to offer that you can literally walk off the ship and have many options such as swimming with the dolphins, bars, restaurants, a great Mayan spa area with messages including hammock massages, shopping, pools, with swim up bars, flamingos/burds, flowrider, as well as a man made beach area that has loungers and umbrellas for use with the purchase of food and drinks.

If swimming with the dolphins is on your bucket list I would recommend prebooking that excursion as it does often fill up. Another excursion type adventure and a great one if you are a bird lover is the Aviarius area in the port. The aviary is built over the port to give breathtaking views of not only the birds living inside but also the beauty the island and port offer.

We did not find direct access into the ocean in the port area but you could rent golf carts (at your own risk) to take to a beach area, or grab a taxi.

We booked the Mayan Healing Spa experience which was amazing. It talked about the history of the Mayan people and the culture all while providing us with a relaxing and nurturing experience.

Now to tell you a little secret. If you want a more relaxed vibe and like to be waited on while sitting down in your chair by the pool then you are going to want to go to the new pool/flow rider area. The easiest way to get there is find the flamingos and look for the stores that have ‘EXIT’ signs displayed at the entrance, this tells you that you can exit at the back. If you do not see them that’s ok in between the shops and the restaurant near the flamingos you will see a hall way with a heart sign that reads ‘Querido Mexico’ walk through there and then last the shops until it opens up to the pool area. You won’t be dissappointed.

There were three large ships in port therefore, in the afternoon it did start getting crowded in the pool areas so keep that in mind.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms!!!

While in port it is very tempting to stop by one of the ‘Get your Passports Stamped’ here locations but I urge you to think twice before doing so…

The Stamp Here locations are souvenir stamps, not official stamps by official
customs employees which violates your agreement within your passport. I have highlighted the portion below straight from my passport page 5.

I am sure there are people who have received the stamps and have had NO issues using their passports afterwards but as your travel agent it is my responsibility to inform you what is legal and not legal.

Lastly, have you taken a pencil and filled out your Emergency Contact page? If no, do it today.

Today is the day Galveston, The Carnival Jubilee will set sail on her Inaugural Voyage. Are you booked on her for 2024? If no, this would make a great last minute Christmas gift-call, text or email today and let’s get you booked! 817-688-1704

John Heald posting the following important information for those on the cruise about boarding passes and glitches.

LPH Cruising is wishing each and everyone a brilliant cruise and holiday week!
🛳️🎅🎄🛳️🎅🎄🛳️🎅🎄🛳️🎅🎄

JH-“I am excited for everyone sailing over this Christmas week including the 10, 447 guests who will be sailing on the Carnival Panorama and Carnival Jubilee.

Yes indeed, both those ships are sailing today and I wanted to give them both the spotlight for a moment if I may and lets start with the Carnival Jubilee. Here is her voyage, her inaugural voyage as Big Fun departs from Galveston, Texas.

23 December 16:00
24 December
25 December - Christmas Day Galveston, Texas
Fun Day at Sea
Fun Day at Sea
26 December 08:00 - 18:00 Roatan Island, Mahogany Bay- Honduras
27 December 08:00 - 17:00 Costa Maya, Mexico
28 December 08:00 - 16:00 Cozumel , Mexico
30 December 08:00 Galveston, Texas

And what a brilliant cruise this will be. I do know having been the Cruise Director on 17 inaugural cruises that not everything will be perfect. The crew will have practiced , rehearsed and gotten everything ready to the highest levels but it is not until you put 6,000 plus guests on board that you truly know if everything is going to work as expected.

However, if you are sailing and see something that you think should be better, please let a crew member know and under the brilliant leadership of Lead Hotel Director Pierre they will take of you.

Many of you sailing today wrote to me to tell me your Muster Station was not showing on your boarding pass. I alerted the beards to this and this has now been fixed. If you have already completed Online Check-in and obtained your boarding pass, please note that we encountered a system issue that resulted in some boarding passes lacking a muster station and displaying an incorrect final boarding time. Kindly verify that your boarding pass indicates a muster station and a final boarding time of 2:30 PM. If not, we request you revisit Online Check-in to reprint it with the accurate information

I know in advance that we have many, many experienced cruisers sailing and they will embrace the ship, take wonderful care of the crew and everyone regardless of their card being Blue or White will truly, truly love this ship.

Let me know when I return to answering questions on 27th how much Fun you are having.”

And now let’s go to Looooooong Beach for the return of the Carnival Panorama. Here is her first voyage back from dry dock.

December 23rd Looooooong Beach
December 24th Fun Day at Sea
December 25th – Christmas Day Fun Day at Sea
December 26th – 9:00am – 9:00pm Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
December 27th – 9:30am – 6:00pm Mazatlan, Mexico
December 28th – 6:30am – 2:30om Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
December 29th – Fun Day at Sea
December 30th 9:00am Looooooong Beach

It is wonderful to have the Carnival Panorama home again and complete with a new starboard side engine pod. It would be wrong and perhaps a bit heartless of me not to apologise one more time to those who had their cruises canceled because of this unexpected problem I hope you were able to use your FCC to book a cruise on her for 2024.

So to everyone sailing now or boarding this weekend on all our ships I wish you all the best of times and a massive dollop of FUN.

Cheers”
