Me too....since the "driver" might have had to "blow into the tube" to start the engines. 🤪

• Reservation fees are $38 per adult 

We always tip accordingly as if we were in a comprable "land" steak house, i.e. Ruth's Chris, Morton's or Flemings.   We know what that tab would be and use that for our basis.     

We don't drink but we still take the "free" unopened bottle and give it to our cabin attendant for a perk.

enjoy your cruise and we’ll be with you in spirit!

I feel the same and NO spirits on our cruise.    😊

With all the current electronic technology aboard the ships, I am stunned that the servers don't have a iPad order taker pads  to send their orders to the closest bar.   The MDR waitstaff were still using little note pads with pencil to write down orders a year ago. 

If you want a cocktail at dinner, you need to wait until the "drink waitperson" comes around....if you ever get to see one.  They are in abundance after dinner selling "shots".   Using current pads, they could take a drink order, send your appetizer order to the kitchen and send your entrée to the main kitchen line.  Desserts could also be ordered and timed to be delivered at the proper time.

Yes you can request a table for 2 with no problems 

We request and have never had an issue.   

Enquiring about my medical records sounds like it violates every HIPAA law on the books.  But then again.....maybe not.    😀

For  all the cruise and air passenger aficionados.....that must fly to your port.  

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby predicts that the airline passenger mask mandate will end in September.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced on April 30 that the mask mandate in airports and on commercial planes would expire on Sept. 13, after an initial deadline was set for May 11.

"My guess is that the current government order expires on September 13 and, fingers crossed," Kirby told CBS' Face the Nation, "my guess is it will expire on September 13, but we'll wait and see for sure."

Are they making you prepay for your reservations?

Yes, kelkel2. You can order the water to be delivered to your room. It used to be around $3. A true ship bargain!!

Have even had my cabin attendant bring a gallon to me for free.  If not, a 10 day cruise will not harm your cpap using tap water from the bathroom....it's even filtered for free.

As long as I don't have to stand in line to get a copy I'm fine with it.

I have even had to stand in lines for the buffet.  LOL

Think it is $120.00  per cabin

used to be under $50.00  

I would rather use the120 in The Steakhouse.

I am vaccinated and really pissed that I don’t get the benefits of being socially responsible! 

Did you get the mandatory "V" tattooed on your forehead?

planning a getaway to Gatlinburg TN

Being from East Tennessee....I can highly recommend your visiting.  BTW....since we live here...WE DON'T go there any longer.  LOL  

Our next adventure is flying to San Miguel de Allende.  We love it there and just about perfect year round temperate weather.  Enjoy Gatlinburg!!

Since no one here has the power to do anything, I would call CCL directly at (800) 929-6400.

Same here, wasn't happy with Carnival going to Pepsi.

The "switch" to Pepsi was the key factor in choosing bottomless bubbles.

I know we can bring on 12 cans of soda/pp at embarkation, but can you restock from a port of call? 

Go ahead, try and tell us what happens.    IF, they should confiscate your purchase, you know CCL will return it to you at disembarkation.

I'm just wondering what everyone takes pictures with or how they communicate with their travel companions if they don't carry around a cell phone?

Go to ANY restaurant in the US and you will find a majority of people on their cell phones.  They are playing games, reading social, taking selfies and pic of their food.   It is not limited to any age group...they all participate.  Why would being on a ship be any different?   LOL   

Fun Times will be the "plastic" straws of the future.  So much waste for so little value with every passenger having a phone.  Otherwise, they wouldn't be pushing the "wifi" programs in excess.

After watching my Carnival stock and looking at the other travel stocks, something clicked in my head and I slowly entered the market with other travel stocks. 

I have owned CCL for ten plus years and just bought NCLH yesterday.   I feel the travel industry will make a triumphant return.

If you choose to email, you do so at your own risk and with the knowledge that email is inherently an insecure method of communication.

CCL sure doesn't have an issue bombarding my in box with unsolicited emails....LOL.   THEY LOVE sending emails along with their PVP's.

This would be a federal law enforced by the DEA when trying to re-enter the US.

Usually, my "pill box" is empty when I return to US port.  LOL
