Colorado Beach Bum

We send out multiple bags every cruise and have never had any issues. Jeans, shorts, shirts, swimsuits, socks, underwear - basically anything that’s washer safe.

Not the experience we’ve had. With passports, just zip right through. Line usually longer but proceeds way faster - especially with facial recognition. When with the grankids and bc’s the line was short but moved slow especially when agents questioned everyone - no facial recognition. The bc ports were LB and Galveston. And when I say longer, maybe 15-20 minutes. Definitely not two hours.

First month.

It was $15 when I was on.

No dividends but if OP takes two cruises this year and gets $200 OBC, that’s just under 13% return which is way higher than past dividends. And if OP turns around and sells that stock right after getting OBC without any loss it’s not a bad move. But as others have said, get your advice from your advisor. We are all in different financial situations and what’s good for one is horrible for others.

Did you not just regular processing at the time? You prob would have got them back. We did renewals and took 3-4 weeks.

Not true. We took someone on an elite who was a red card and for that one elite cruise she had a platinum card.

Very similar ships. Hard to say which is better. A couple of the bars have different drinks, shows are a bit different, pizza and deli have different choices and other minor differences. Pretty similar experience. Pick based on your preference of where you like to sail from and which ports you prefer. Casino layout exactly the same but slots will be different with both having many of the same but not all.

DOUE works out of TX on day one as soon as the casino opens for both alcohol and non-alcohol drinks.

Great post. Goes to show you people from different backgrounds really can get along. We all really aren’t all that different. This is one of the things I like most about cruising. Too bad this doesn’t happen much in the real world back at home these days.

Carnivals terms and conditions say iMessage is NOT supported even if you pay for WiFi. So even that may not be a guarantee.

Denied boarding or denied from going ashore in those countries?

A quarter wouldn’t double. The post said it doubled the count and I said a small fraction - wouldn’t 1/4 be a small fraction?

Yes that happens but I’d bet it’s a small fraction doing this.

I never said anything about elite or ultra perks. Someone said carnival makes money on all passengers and I said it’s an average, some more, some less. But to answer your question - elite and ultra perks are covered by casino spending not other passenger non-casino spending
