Yes, the hub app and outside of the mdr...

This is what I am thinking too

So they do it differently in one port, doesn't mean it doesn't happen as described in other ports.

Agreed, I only speak on the one I know, galveston.

The original poster says they do it in galveston, doesn't happen that way. The valor is there now, anyone can look and see for themselves.

By the way, my office overlooks the pier.

Have you ever seen them accidentally damage a box of produce, then load it on the ship? Have you ever seen the product fall out on the ground and get picked up and put back in the broken box then loaded? I have.

Never one time have I seen more than an occasional walkthrough to look at the pallets. Never a pallet by pallet inspection on the pier.

Galveston cruise cam is up and running, count the chefs, watch the time lapse from yesterday's loading of the breeze too and see how many chefs are on the pier. I counted zero.

I will get a pic or two

You are correct, that almost nothing goes back, though I have seen it on some occasions and for certain items. It does get inspected, and anything that is not up to USPH standards regarding handling or sourcing will be disposed of, noted on the manifest, and not paid for. Anything that is questionable, as in very ripe or bruised will be noted on the manifest, and corporate will debate the charge with the supplier, and the product will be sorted to be used immediately, and if necessary, menu changes will be made to use this product earlier than scheduled.

 

Typically, the Provisions Master (in charge of all the food storage onboard) does the on shore inspections to insure that frozen things are still frozen, etc., and then the Executive Chef, and Chefs Tournant will do further inspections for grading once the pallets are on the ship and being unwrapped and repalletized for proper storage in the reefer boxes. Even at this stage, some product is rejected and disposed of, and this goes back to the supplier as a complaint. Too many complaints and the supplier loses a mult-million dollar contract.

Very accurate. My point was that there are not chefs walking around the pier inspecting pallets.

Thanks for sharing! To add, Carnival holds all of their vendors and out sourced providers to a very high standard. Most people don't realize that so many people on the Carnival ship actually work for other companies. For example the fun shops and the casino, among others.

My husbands friend since a teen was on BB before (Nick Uhas) BB 15 and the one Gina Marie was crazy over. :D

Too cool!

Only those in your cabin. Nieces in separate room correct? They are on their own.

Since they are 18 and 19 they may actually check in with you. Typically hough, it is by cabin.

I like the variety and concept of freestyle, but to me they don't tasted as good as other fountains. ..

Which season of Big Brother? US or UK?

James from the us big brother, I saw him on the breeze earlier this year. J ohm heald was also on the breeze different sailing.

If you have something to add why not say it?

I see them in person on turn around day in Galveston, every ship The Valor, the breeze, and the freedom. When you're cruising take a look at all the 18 wheelers that are lined up and ready to unload. They unload everything and take nothing back. Once it is on the pier, it goes on the ship.

Are you guys saying the chefs do this on the pier? If so, you don't have a clue...

What does it mean to be marked or rated,?

Jo hn heald, and James from big brother.

You and I aren't on the same page as I don't think ship desserts as 're dry and tasteless, and not sweet enough....

My opinion is that they will have plenty of what you are looking for

I surely don't book my cruises based on who the cruise director is but I absolutely look forward to cruising with some Cruise directors more than others. I know some like to do their own things and not get involved in the activities but a good Cruise director makes the shows fun, the deck parties fun, the trivia contest fun, among other things.

Yes you would have the opportunity to watch the late movie with late dining. And if I'm not mistaken at least one night the movie plays at midnight

You do not have to dress up. If you're referring to going out to dinner on elegant night it would be expected that you would dress accordingly if you're going to the main dining room. The buffet and other areas will be Cruise casual for sure

You will have same benefits as platinum and diamond, in the things you mentioned...

Ok,guess the same applies for when you turn diamond.will be diamond on

2nd day of next cruise,will we get white sail and sign cards or platium?

Same answer

There are ice machines on each deck, one on either side. It is behind an unmarked interior door. With a little poking around I can always find it. If a steward is not around I can get my own ice.

I hope everyone I just as hygenic as you when they do so....

Usually the higher price will be better in some way, carnival doesn't make mistakes in their pricing. Sorry, I'm not sure why

Lol

Probably be spring breakers on board anytime during March and april. People travel from across the country and world to sail

Which port? Galveston, yes they will wait. When we cruise with our friends that aren't prioritly we just wait with them. I know so many that try to bypass the times, and say theyre with someone that's priority, but to ke, they are just adding uneeded stress to their trip.

They can keep checking for the earlier check in time online, it might open up .
