so many rumors and so few facts.

They could be obtaining your location from the GPS in your phone. There are apps that can spoof a different location.

Once cruising restarted and there was light at the end of the tunnel, Carnival Corp's leader through the pandemic gracefully exited. There is a new sheriff and it will take time to overcome the next hurdle. There is no magic bullet.

No company has a 100% retention rate. If you kowtow to repeat customers and lose your new customers, you will soon have neither. or any other cruise line. Some have been swearing off XYZ line for years, but only fool themselves. Carnival knows they can't please everyone and knows better than to go down that rabbit hole. No matter what they do, complainers gonna complain. Carnival does an amazing balancing act for most.

No, you can't order from the MDR menu. If I recall correctly, on Elegant night you could get a lobster, but not the prime rib. That was a non-starter for us.

The three majors have 74 billion in debt +/-. None of them should be building many new ships. Seabourn is shedding a ship.

and Royal megamalls. Existing ports need to be modified for them, too, or new ports built - like Falmouth.

The shareholders don't determine salaries. Isn't a lot of the compensation in stock options that have yet to be exercised? The execs are often who the institutions (who often hold much of the debt) choose.

As most shares are held by institutions that vote rationally, individual shareholders have little say.

Not with their target market.

Ben Hur was just a boy then.

Same with Galveston.

Leftover wine? What's that?

No priority on Journey cruises.

Not really the same, now is it? Why would Carnival Cruise Lines build new ships when they can repurpose existing ships for a fraction of the cost?

Sea days only and only at lunch. There are other salad bars on the ships if you feel the need to graze, and perhaps even Caesar salad at the pizza place.

Enough powdered sugar to ice a cake and then some, sounds about right. They should be golden brown. Straight from the oil is desirable, but impractical in today's I Don't Want to Wait society. The dough has to be just right, also. Along with the oil.
