  1. Any naval architect could tell you of the significance.
  2. Oldest business line to his banker in the book "We lost money last quarter, but more people are doing business with us"
  3. I often took my ex-wife since I was paying DO. She only had to pay her own tips on her card. I would easily have made Diamond by this time with that added credit.
  4. My thoughts exactly. After my last cruise out of Galveston, I've had horrific business problems and then a couple years overcoming Covid and the long rehabilitation process that follows on us "oldies". With Diamond in my sights (just a few more cruises), I would be insulted if Carnival decided to do such a thing. As Firefly eluded to, the benefits have been watered down over the years to only caring about the boarding privileges anyway. I only used the laundry once (don't give 'em anything you care about), Can't drink anymore, so that FREE drink with your brunch on a sea day is cruel. The FREE gifts and ship's pin I traditionally give away to a couple I meet on the ship. The FREE entrance into the slots tournament is now buy one get one free. Perks with the exception of pre-boarding are virtually non-existent for me anymore. Carnival would lose one of their strongest cheerleaders among the people I meet on a day to day basis. Next cruise is probably on a Princess ship out of Galveston where I'll be given a SOLO discount. Think about that Carnival ! (sorry about the rant)
  5. Apparently I've been away for awhile. I think my last steakhouse offering was $35 !
  6. Years ago, every cabin got a leaflet with a picture of two suitcases that were lost. On the last day at sea a couple turned them in. Said they found them in their cabin when they boarded and just put them in the closet ! ! ! !
  7. Since I've moved to Texas, Galveston will have to be my home port. Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean the JUBILEE will be sailing out of Galveston regularly?
  8. If you do get a hotel, see if you can get a package deal with a hotel and plane tickets back to Long Beach.😁
  9. . Great shows with a real band that came out of the band pit on the front of the stage. A disco that actually played great 70s and 80s music and rocked out till the early morning hours. The ice sculpture on deck, the hairy chest contest, the cardboard horse races, all great memories. Sorry I'm just venting
  10. I will always love the SPIRIT Class ships. They have been my favorites for years. Have cruised all four of them. 😊
  11. Ahhhhhhh . . . . the battle of the egos.😊 "It's not what you don't know that gets you into trouble. Its what you know for sure that just ain't so"
  12. LOL, I remember those days also . . . signing onto AOL at $6.00 and hour . . . those were the days complete with that squeaky squaky connectionl
  13. I could smell weed on every cruise I've been on it seems. Even know of a man and his wife that I've met on a previous cruise SELL it on the ship.
  14. Yes, but for that $100 of mine they got in advance, I nailed them for $200 when I cruised again which I was doing back then quite regularly.
