My entire process took from a Friday to following Thursday. Just now I tried to look back and see if I could find what I found - yikes - sorry - as I don’t have anything in process I cannot find what I found to complete the process. (Now that’s a crazy sentence!) Good luck, lots of hoops to get through, but first you need to find the hoops.

It’s always good when the laundry is in the washing machine. Love the variety of shirts you wear. Don’t wash (if it is machine washable) that new red shirt with your whites!

Have been on 26 Carnival cruises and had not cruised Royal for 20+ years until this past December. For me, food at dinnertime in Main Dining Room is comparable. Definitely think Carnival’s breakfast and brunch in Main Dining Room is superior, more variety, more uniqueness. Also partial to Carnival’s Blue Iguana and Deli and pizza.

Our next Carnival isn’t until 2025 when Venezia goes out of Port Canaveral. Do have MSC booked end of March, two months away, so trust timing will be good for us. Will fill in a few dates after our MSC cruise.

Hello @ninjacat123, as it happened you and I did the “travel insurance” thing on the same day, we are getting to put ours to use. Today was embarkation day on Celebration, not happening, a little sad, well lots sad for husband, first time in over 40 cruises we had to cancel a cruise. After two visits to Emergency and two Surgeries, all since Tuesday, it’s only Sunday right, we are back home, all will eventually be good. Anyway, between your Live and @MeganGC1983’s Live and @sid_9169’s Live, I had a lot of entertaining reading to distract myself with as I (sometimes anxiously) sat and waited for the past five days. TMI, right, but wanted to thank you for your Live and the distraction it provided me, our paths passed in the past, perhaps again in the future.

Sid, all your “no mores…” are making me so sad! Thank you for taking us along once again. Have read your recent “lives” but apparently there are many more from the past that I was not aware of at the time, am going back in time to read them. I know that this “live” will go on for many more posts and pages. So it’s not good-bye yet. Anxiously awaiting to see both of the masks from this cruise once you unpack them. Safe travels.

With all the “moolah” you leave there you should have a Reserved placard on a seat.

Order a “main” off the Chibang menu (along with any apps you might want) and a Lobster, have seen it done, wished I would have known at the time.

Right, what did you think of it? On Mardi Gras enjoyed it several evenings, had a “salmon” that was delicious, husband loved the “meats.” From what I read seems people really like the food/place or not so much.

Sid, of course you know “it’s always in the last place you look,” because once you found it you stopped looking, right?

Got email today, Carnival Cabin Confirmation update with the $100 OBC noted. So process for me took from Friday to following Thursday. Interestingly though we “may” not even be on our Sunday January 21 cruise as husband is having Emergency Gallbladder Surgery, so for the first time in 40+ cruises Travel Insurance here I come. And what am I currently doing on cc you might ask, “trying to distract myself and pass the time!”

Sign on cabin door?

@Colorado Beach Bum, agree, this is also my only social media and was wondering how I would find Sid’s future writings. I have read Sid’s recent LIVES but apparently he has many more from the past, need to find them to read now.

@BlerkOne, yes I did get the email from Stockperks and am now waiting for the email from Carnival, just does not seem very streamlined to me, a lot of emails going back and forth until process complete. Appreciate your post from a few days ago with the info on how to contact Stockperks, saving for future reference/need.

Loved your pic on Sid’s Live - ha.

Straight forward - no. Cumbersome - yes. IMHO

My update/timeline - 1) downloaded App and submitted proof of shares by attaching a pic on Friday January 12th 2) today Tuesday January 16 I received email saying my Manual Brokerage Statement was Processed and instructed me to go to App to “explore and redeem perks” So I did that, searched around a little bit, came upon page that asks for Cruise info, and completed that. Now it is wait and see again.

Oh dear, guest services is just around the corner, there won’t be any cooling off time before he gets there.

Beverages at Diamond Brunch complimentary, won’t count towards your 15, tell Megan!

Sid, it has been a great time today, and yesterday, cruise on, no “sorry” about anything.

I am trying the hello@stockperks.com that @BlerkOne listed, not sure if that is what @dan4182 used or not, will keep this “thread” up to date as to whether or not i have any success.

Yikes, you are sandwiched between two prize tables.

We cruise between Carnival and MSC, I think Seashore is in Port Canaveral these days, will enjoy your pics, board her March 31.
