you’re 100% being scammed by a guy in Nigeria. I don’t know the backstory but carnival will always communicate with you. They will never ask you to email them and then send a response back like a 3 year old wrote. Call carnival directly. Google their corporate office in Miami. Nothing else matters. You’re being scammed. You’re out that $ the bank charged you, consider it gone. How people get scammed, I’ll never understand. Why would a billion dollar company only communicate with email? Why would a billion dollar company’s check bounce? Why would a billion dollar company even send you a check? what’s the email they’re talking to you from?

A few things… I only get 1-2 “vacations” a year so yeah, it’s extremely important I get where I’m going to make sure we’re set when it’s time. As i mentioned earlier, I used to live 10 minutes from the port so it was easier but now that I’m in Vegas, have you seen the airport? I LOVE it here but any time there’s anything going on, it impacts the entire city. I live a few miles away from the strip. With construction, with F1, with the Super Bowl, with some marathon they have today, doing ANYTHING can add an insane amount of time to your daily activities. They had hundreds of thousands of people fly in. Imagine the stress the airlines are under. So i understand 3 days might be excessive but (I get to see my friends and family at home) I still won’t take the chance. Cancelled and delayed flights are so common now it’s just not worth risking IMO. Getting to the port with 5 minutes left? Bonkers. Give yourself time to relax, it’s vacation right?

This is why I fly 3-4 days early and fly home 1-2 days after. I used to live 10 min away from the port in Fort Lauderdale and 40 minutes away from Miami but now that I moved, I won’t put myself in your situation! Especially with a vacation pending????? Cmon! Not sure what you do for work but you gotta figure it out next time!!

so issue #1, my best friends sister had an anxiety attack the first day and they had to take her to medical. Once she calmed down they let her go back to the room. If you know of potential problems, why not take precautions? Anxiety meds, whatever calms them down? #2, my father had major back surgery and now that he’s 73 and refuses a scooter, he uses a cane and sits when necessary. Make due with what you have. I highly suggest getting anxiety meds, panic attacks are no joke. Good luck.

I haven’t cruised on carnival in a long time. My boarding time is 12:00-12:30. the most recent cruise I took on Harmony, I brought water with me and the rooms weren’t ready for a few hours. It was annoying. However, I opened the door that was shut and dropped my stuff off and left. The room Stewart was cool and didn’t mind. I was in and out in 60 seconds. im seeing people write, they LOCK the access door to the rooms til 130? If not, what’s the ‘rush’ to get on the ship so early? I want to start my vacation as I type this but 30 minutes isn’t worth $70 to me… maybe I’m missing other perks, after all, I didn’t even know what fttf was until 20 minutes ago.

If the freedom is comparable to the glory, anything besides freedom. Never sailed on it but the glory was the most disgusting ship I’ve ever been on. Vista.

Going on cruise in a week… So I looked online and carnival says you can’t bring anything on the ship. then I called to ask about room upgrades and the lady I spoke to said you can bring a 12 pack of water/redbull per person as long as it’s not plastic bottles. Then another lady said you can’t bring anything. you can on Royal, anyone know first hand, can you bring anything? Sometimes the security guard won’t let you sometimes they couldn’t care less but hearing different things from multiple people plus the website is confusing.

Why would they kick him off? What did he do????

The flights are expensive, long as hell and the ships are small and old. I’d love to go there but no thanks!

So it’s the same, I’ll definitely look into that. Thank you!

Hey all, been awhile since I cruised on carnival… I’m going on the celebration in a few weeks and want to surprise my gf with a massage. (How sweet I know…) My question is, do they drop the prices the closer to the end of the cruise like they do with Royal? Any massages worth it? They just emailed me they have a 20% off any massage or spa treatment, code, VSPA24. Trying to figure out the best deal possible. Thanks !!!!

Im going in a few weeks myself. First carnival cruise in years. Gave me a good offer to start. $1200, interior on the 8th floor, $225obc, 7 day, free drinks while gambling… they messaged me, $300 to upgrade to a Havana interior or $2900 for a suite. What’s the difference in a regular interior or Havana interior? Absolutely nothing worth 150pp…. Now, ocean view or balcony, we can talk. But a different interior when it’s only 600pp? Not a chance.

So just to follow up, I’m 2 days from heading out and they pulled the royalup area when I log in so I can’t see it anymore. I’m not a dummy and I’ll assume I didn’t get anything but there wasn’t an email or any correspondence saying anything relating to winning/losing. anyone else have this happen?

Yup.

Main page, log on. Scroll a little and it says, royalup. Right under your reservation. 16 days til sailing, still waiting to see if I get it!!
