A tip about the not so cold fridge is to open the cupboard door and leave it open. This will allow the fridge to draw air from the room and not just from a warm little cupboard space.
Thank you so much!
We are booked on Magic 10/31/21-11/6/21 and are so excited! My best friend and I are celebrating our DIVORCES!!
We are on the same cruise
Omg we are on the same cruise!
So how was it?
I didn't even notice the candle. Thanks for sharing your tips. Cruising is very foreign to me. Have a great week!
+Cindy Ellacott Thank you for saying that, Cindy! I debated on whether or not to post it but decided to do it anyway:). It took a lot for me to put on make-up and do my hair to film it. Lol! #lazy And Cindy.... you seriously need to cruise one day. You know Jen is on a Disney Cruise. I’d love to do one of those someday soon, too.
Medical box…lol. Fist day I removed the cabinet door to the refrigerator (depressing two small tabs on hinges) and stored under bed. Fridge stayed stayed nicely cold the whole trip. Also when we were out of the room I would direct our fan (brought ourselves) to the fridge area to circulate air. Worked great. Keep the door on the cabinet closed and it will never cool to 40 degrees.
i’m so glad you vlogged all the days and made these videos because i’m going on the carnival magic in june . can’t wait !
+Mya G Oh girl... you are going to have an awesome time! #jelly Make sure to go to the ‘White Party’. They give out all the cool toys that light up and made it extra fun:). Thank YOU for watching!
i’m going in june too!
What was the room number to the room with the medical box😏?
We had a problem last March on the Breeze with our refrigerator not getting cold enough. What we did, was go old school. We turned it into an ice box! Lol! We had our room steward fill our ice bucket twice a day, then we put the ice in a small soft cooler bag, leaving the top open, and placing it in the refrigerator. Everything was icy cold doing that.
Kathleen Henry Kathleen.... that’s totally genius!!!! I’m doing that the next time I get a “medical box”😂🤪.
Where do you get the fan from?
You are fun, I've been enjoying your shares of the Magic we are going on soon.
+Becky S Lunajubar Awww!! Thank you so much, Becky! You’re going to have a blast! I would love to know if you get a refrigerator or a ‘medical box’ in your cabin.... lol!
Great tips!
For me, the fan is a lifesaver. Grab that from your room steward as soon as possible.
Side note, didn’t notice the candle.
That is an excellent suggestion Karla Weidman!!!! Thank you!
Thank goodness! It sounded SO loud to me:)
We were on the Magic mid Sept. Your tips were spot on. I'd heard that if you keep the cabinet door that contains the frig a tad ajar, it helps make the frig run cold. Something about airflow? We tucked a cloth at the top to keep the wooden door open and our pop stayed really cold.
Hey Sandra! How weird is it that I really like to say your name 'Sandra' just because it's my name, too? SUPER weird! Thank you for the tips about the refrigerator...my next cruise is in February and I'd sure like to change that 'medical box' into a cold 'refrigerator'. Lol!
@@sandrabond1 Hey Sandra D, it's always great talking with another Sandra! Love your videos, Sandra K
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Aaron Jeffrey instablaster =)
@Chandler Darius Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Watching video 2 years after the fact. What decks were the launderettes on?
This video is from a while back, but your story about the "medical box" made me chuckle. We cruised on the Conquest a few weeks ago and were disappointed our beverages were room temperature. A call to the room steward led to his rushing off to find a replacement. That did the trick. No mention of our having a medical box. Sounds preposterous.
I know, right? It didn’t seem right to me either…. Lol!
My husband would definitely want a fan! He has to have the air moving at all times. Drives me crazy in winter. haha!
+Happiness and Sweet Tea Lol! I get it. Especially when they insist on a fan and then steal all of the covers:).
Thanks Susan!
Our fridge didnt get cold on liberty and my son had to have special milk so we kept the cabinet door open and it made it cold. The stewards kept closing it when they would come in to clean
That is a very good tip! Going on the Freedom in 9 days and I'll definitely be using that technique:) Happy travels to you AND thank you for watching!
Do you remember what floors the laundry rooms are on? I always bring my pods for the washer. Oh, you can get free samples of fabric softener in the kiosk machine at Sam's, then bring a few dryer sheets in a ziploc. I hate going home with so many dirty clothes.
Hi Karen! I thought I put it in my video but I guess I didn't...sorry about that:(. I googled it and the launderettes are on decks 2, 7 and 10. Great question! And great tip about the fabric softeners, too:).
How are the cabins on outlets? We have phones, the fan, flat irons, etc. Should I bring an extension cord?
Karen Smith definitely. they barely have any bruh
Hey there! The outlets are sparse...very sparse. I bring a multi usb tower since most of my devices use a usb. However, when I want to use my curling iron I have to unplug it. I tend to go with the philosophy of #cruisehairdon'tcare kind of attitude so it isn't that big a deal to unplug and plug once a day:)
Just found your channel! Grateful for these tips!
+Rachael Kluba Hi Rachael! Thanks so much for watching! If you think of any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I saved all of my notes and can probably find you an answer.
thanks so much
Very accurate, as I just got off of the Magic, even about the "medical box"
Only addition is to strongly consider a balcony because those fans are useless without A/C assistance
You are so right about a balcony. I was without the hubs on this trip, and solo, so I went with a more budget minded interior cabin. That dang medical box...hahahahaha!
I'm so glad to hear! It's good to know!!!
+Ishmael Graham Thanks so much, Ishmael!
So glad you showed the laundry area good video
King Blaze Thank you so much! The laundry room is a must, right?
Awesome Tips Sandra! Great 👍 Video, Love the Music 🎵 🎶
+Cheri-Awesome Sunsets Travel Thanks, Cheri!! I could have added at least 25 more things I learned tho.... Would anyone watch a video that’s 3 hours long?!?! Lol!
You looking up the serial number on the "medical box" is my new favorite Sandra D story. The secret nun cookies used to be my favorite story. Now this is.
Jen Lefforge You get it, right? I never could figure out if they were trying to pull one over on me:). Lol!
Odd about the wifi. I haven't had any real problems. I did have to get customer service to log me back in once. I was even able to call though messenger. We will see what happens
keep the door to the cabinet propped open and the fridge stays colder, the fridge had little room to breathe in that tight cabinet
Scotto Schlick Hey Scotto! I go on my next cruise in 3 days. Yes, only 3 days🤪. I’ll definitely be propping the cabinet open this time if needed. Thank you so much!
Do you have to pay tipping
Fantastic tips thank you
Medical box🤪. How crazy is that!!!!!! I’m going in April....hope I get a fan and a refrigerator 🤞. Thanks for the heads up
Debra Freeman Hi Debra! Oh my goodness.... April is literally just around the corner. Starting summer early with a cruise!!! Yay👍🏼👏🏼💪🏼
According to carnival website on what you are allowed to bring, a small is allowed for you to bring on board. I can't wait to be on the Carnival Magic next Month!!
+Shaquana Haggerty Hey there Shaquana! You’re going to have a fabulous time on Carnival Magic:). Just pace yourself with Guys Burgers and the pizza.... I did not and felt sick, and kinda happy, every night. Lol!
Im going the magic on dec 29 what room number did you stay in? I would like to avoid that room if i can
+pete tran Hey Pete! I was in cabin 2257 on the Carnival Magic. The cabin was good but if you want a cold frig and not a medical box, I’d definitely avoid... lol! You’re going to have a fabulous time. #cruiselife Thanks for popping in and watching AND commenting!
We are on deck 8 in middle is that a good deck or lower is better
Deck 8 is perfect. Your close to everything
Thank you
Cool, going on Jan 11th 2020.
Thank you
+Jimmy c Awesomeness, Jimmy! You are going to love it! My next cruise isn’t until February and I’m getting the itch:). Thanks for watching and commenting!
You mean 12th?
I'm going on this cruise in November 14 2020
Jacob Jackson Hey Jacob! You are going to have a fabulous time! And by going in November you’ll be able to sneak in a little more ‘summer’ before winter hits. Yay!
I’m exactly a week before that and I’m hoping we get to sail 😊
Good tips
Hey there! Thanks so much!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing.
+Freedom to Roam Travel Hey there! Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Great tips!
Thank you so much!!
Ummm....Can anyone else hear the stinking candle burning in the background? Omgosh! How annoying. Sorry. Probs should up my editing game. Hope you can ignore it and finish the vid:). Happy Travels!
If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have noticed the candle. But it still did not affect my ability to enjoy your video! 😀Another great one! Good tips. 👍
I’ll be on the magic in 4 weeks!!!
+Kelly Nicole Four weeks?!?! That’s awesome! There’s nothing like #cruiselife.
Sandra D's Adventures I’ve watched all your magic videos! I too am a planner. Really like your videos!
just booked tonight thanks for the tips gotta get a fan we down on deck 1 midship oceanview @ waterlevel :)#1162 and 1168
+Trucking 101 Hey there! You are most welcome! Please pop back on and let me know if you find some more, ok? Thanks for watching and talking travel with me:).
@@sandrabond1 i best not get a medical box! :(
Trucking 101 Hahahaha! I know, right?!?!
Yeah, the WiFi does not work we got the most expensive one and it still didn’t work
+Mavii Hiem Omgosh, right?!?! So disappointing:(. But now I know. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt this way! Thank you!
What was your cabin #?
+Ishmael Graham Hey Ishmael! I was in cabin 2257.
Thanks for the tips, Sandra! We'll be boarding the Magic Feb 29 and are looking forward to fun times! My favorite tip was about the classes, etc for the Fitness Center! Didn't know there were freebies to be had there. My honey and I will be just down the hall from there, so might want to add a few of those into our itinerary. First trip on Carnival, so it'll be interesting.
+Mark Johnson Hey Mark! You are going to have a fabulous time. I’m not saying that cruises don’t try to up charge a lot but there are freebies to be had if you know where to look. So stinking excited for you guys! If you think about it, pop back on and let me know how your cruise went:). Thanks Mark and happy travels!
No more fun times all on the Hub
"Medical Box" - Carnival specific term meaning "broken refrigerator "
Tyler Durden Lol! I know, right?!?! I got lots of good suggestions about propping open the cabinet door and it worked on my last cruise. I can’t be certain that the first frig wasn’t just ‘broken’ but I’ll be propping open the cabinet first before reaching out to guest services from now on👍🏼
I noticed WiFi was better at night
Putting your dishes in the hall is actually not what you’re supposed to do. You have guests with scooters and elderly that need the space
Shawn Brandt Hey Shawn! That’s a very good point! I hadn’t thought of that but you’re right. I was just thinking it was unsightly so I never did it. But when I asked my room steward and guest services they said they’d prefer us to put stuff in the hall. Did you specifically ask someone? I’m just curious why they would tell me that even though what you are saying makes sense🤷🏻♀️. Thanks for commenting... I love to travel talk🤪
Medical box 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️ that’s insane and I’m not buying it
Right?!? Lol!
Never mind
Lol!!!
Here's a tip to y'all what I do is leave extra space in my suitcase so that I can steal the towels
A medical box....hahahahaha
+Vicki Hey Vicki!! I know, right?!?!🤣😂🤪
No thanks
Hehehehehe...
