  1. People will catch onto the scam that holds them and their money hostage. HMC is a Holland America property, anyway..
  2. FIFY. Many people have not forgotten why they like cruising in the first place and don't need or even want all the gimmicks and shopping malls.
  3. Who said anyone was an idiot? More than one has admitted to being mistaken before. What is strange are those who refuse to consider the possibility, whatever the odds, even though it clearly happens.
  4. Why stop with NCL? MSC is tossing in another $100 million into Ocean Cay. Royal needs to step up.
  5. You are probably wrong about Grand Bahama which is set to open before the end of next year. Carnival will be putting another 90 million into HMC. There is simply no reason for the leading cruise line, Carnival, to be on the bleeding edge. They tried with Paradise - a ship ahead of its time. As for debt, Carnival Corp is the entity with debt, not Carnival, and it is getting paid down ahead of schedule. Orders for new ships are on hold which will allow for an even faster reduction in debt. Meanwhile Royal has several ships in the works which will only increase their massive debt and lead to lower prices for their cruises and lower profits.
  6. Carnival is going to add to HMC, and is also building a new port on Grand Bahama that I imagine will equal or surpass anything Royal has planned for Coco Cay.
  7. If the jewelry wasn't stolen, who's the victim?
  8. I thought that was for a 12 pack of water, which is a shock. Princess sells water for less than Carnival.
  9. IMO, If I were dissatisfied with Carnival, I wouldn't do business with them.
  10. Surely they drink water or other fluids? The drink packages include more than alcoholic beverages.
  11. Traditionally gratuities have never been included. It is nothing new. No need to upset the majority. I doubt most of the people in "long lines" at guest services are first time cruisers. Even "luxury lines" are unbundling services like room service.
  12. Cruise lines are not immune to rising costs. Just like everything else. Why pick on the cruise lines?
  13. For those hoping the stock tanks, my CCL stock has more than doubled in price. If anything, migrate to HAL.
  14. an extra 3000 calories a day and my pants won't fit. 🙂
  15. and it has been going up since the pandemic. Of course, they also have 464 billion in assets, 64 billion cash on hand, and a few billion in income.
  16. I'm still waiting for Paul Harvey to tell us the rest of the story. The jewelry is somewhere and it got there somehow.
  17. Check your credit card offers on chase.com
  18. I've toggled between port and home delivery and it was always green, but now is blue with home delivery. Switched back to Home delivery and it went green. I'm done playing.
  19. I had found it on my Amazon Prime card.
  20. Carnival Corporation & plc to Issue Notices of Redemption for $1.2 Billion of Debt and Announces Pricing of $500 Million 7.00% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes Offering and Upsizing and Pricing of $1.3 Billion Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan B Facility for Other Refinancing https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/carnival-corporation--plc-to-issue-notices-of-redemption-for-1-2-billion-of-debt-and-announces-pricing-of-500-million-7-00-first-priority-senior-secured-notes-offering-and-upsizing-and-pricing-of-1-3-billion-senior-secured-fi-301891098.html
  21. Holy moly - I thought I got 2 per cruise - it says 2 per day. Probably not going to happen. Even if I can sub something else, probably not 2/day.
  22. TSA has nothing to do with port security. You could use a tow chain and padlock if you want.
