Increased prices in the fun shops (water, etc) today
mz-s replied to psikic's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
carnival is no longer a special vacation in my opinion. I put up with the cut-rate experience with Spirit because I am flying somewhere I need to be. I don’t need to be on a cruise so I do not need to put up with the cutbacks. -
they seem to be in no hurry to convert the remainder of their fleet. But they can institute cutbacks like this overnight.

bottle filler dispensers would be nice. -

you cannot refill your bottle at the buffet. There are signs saying to use a fresh cup for each drink. -
I really don’t want to hear about waste from Carnival as long as they’re still printing 10,000 photos during every cruise - the vast majority of which are simply thrown away.

30 billion plus in debt and no sign of profitablity yet…expect more of this until they’re the Spirit Airlines of the cruise industry. -
Nobody is talking about the french fries???
mz-s replied to cruiserbrianj's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I doubt he will care unless Carnival's checks start to bounce. -
Anyone who has talked to crew, especially newer crew, knows how true that last sentence is.

mz-s replied to cruiserbrianj's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Guy's is just one venue that has markedly declined in quality all around the ship. Too much to discuss and more coming every day. -
Carnival should be congratulated for making cruise vacations affordable for more people. I think they should work on amplifying their VIFP program so that those who are ready to move up are incentivized to do so under the Carnival Corp banner.

Yes there are many more slot machines than there are table games.
-
Well it’s not a penny per spin because you can’t just bet one penny. Maybe that’s what they’re talking about.

Is there a "best check in time" to avoid some of the crowds?
mz-s replied to tdbates's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I drive in the morning of, arrive around 12:30-1 or maybe a little later around 1:30. Not much of a line by then. Have fun! -
It’s roughly lunch hours. I don’t recall exact hours. And the funfetti cheesecake is frankly one of my favorite desserts all cruise. Only served on embarkation day.

You can order a bottle of water with an alcoholic drink and like all other nonalcoholic drinks they are unlimited. But as with all Cheers purchases you must wait 5 minutes between orders.

Someone Please Tell Carnival how to make Sausage Gravy
mz-s replied to audcc77's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The canned gravy would be a marked upgrade for Carnival. -
It’s only the social plan that Carnival says iMessage isn’t supported.
-
Bathing suits and no shoes in the Lido buffet, swimsuit coverups in the MDR - anything goes on Carnival.
-
It worked on the Sunshine in May, but not in September. So my guess is they figured out how to block it. And while people are saying to buy the Social plan for iMessage and FaceTime - that's great if it works for you. But Carnival says it's not supported. So YMMV. Refunding the plan purchase at Guest Services is always an option if you get on board and find out it isn't working.

Right, as I recall the $50 OBC was not an automatic thing. We did have to call our PVP at the time and request it.

John Heald said that any time you give someone a tip it goes directly to them. And that’s been told to me by bar waiters before. Tips may have been divided in the past but my understanding is now they are kept by the individual bar waiter.

I can’t recall, I think it was maybe 6 months.

I was on Sunshine last month and everything on the breakfast buffet was simply disgusting. -
Why are Celebration cruises so cheap?
mz-s replied to Illbcruzn4life's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The west coast is having trouble filling Panorama. WRT Celebration - fares are down because this is Carnival’s new business model. Cut the experience to bare bones and hope to make up the difference in onboard spend and fines. -
As I said this was years before COVID, long before the travel authorization was even a twinkle in a Bermudian politician's eye.
