Smoking should only be permitted outdoors, not in the casino. I know about 5% of the population will disagree with that.

Its 25%

I literally did not check in once for dinner before 8:20pm. Never more than a 10 minute wait and incredibly fast service. Soup was still piping hot.

 

There was literally no congestion on the stairs that I noticed. When I did use elevators, it was not unusual to find someone in a wheelchair. Everyone seemed courteous to let them in or out.

 

 

When you are right, you are right. And what were they before? Platinum Cards. It has to do with the person, and not the color of the card.

I was never a Platinum, we were Dimond when they invented Dimond.

Expect more of an older generation aboard. Activities are surrounded by this. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just answering your request.

older Gen and lots of scooters

Off the Pride today, Eight day Panama Canal partial transit. the only thing negative I have to say, and probably

anyone else that was on the cruise could also say was the ATD. Any time dining. We would check in at

5:30 for Dinner on the hub app, and it would say under ten minute wait, then would change after about

15 min wait to under 30 min wait. We actually waited over an hour to eat, waiting from 5:30 to 6:30 to 

go into the MDR. It also happened while we waited to go to the seaday brunch, so, if anyone if going on

the Pride, just giving you a heads up, but other than that, it was a good cruise, did get a little choppy 

on the seas, where they actually had to put those little airline bags in case of seasick at the 

elevators. 

the app BS really sucks, just off the Mardi gras and had the same problem 2 times we went up to the Lido

Just booked a BtoB Play my way, Free Ocean site  ,+taxes fees, port fee, with free drinks everywhere, for Jan, 2024. The deals are out there a year

That's a spirit class ship that's only 12 years old. If it goes anywhere, it should be to CCL.

and then to Baltimore if its a spirit class

I think the Horizon was one of th best ships Carnival has not to big not to small

I asked John Heald shortly after the restart if the Suite guests had to stick to their boarding time (because I had booked a last minute suite and had a late boarding time) and he said that suite guests could arrive at any time and board at any time and did not have to arrive within their allocated appointment window. That has been my experience post-covid at Galveston, Pt Can., Dover, and Seattle. 

 

Before Covid, FTTF was the same way but just they boarded after Suites, Platinum, Diamond...but is all in quick succession. Not sure now since it just came back. 

John is not right, if he is why bother with a boarding time if people just show up whenever

If it helps, according to my boarding pass (when we are on Mardi Gras back in April) final boarding time was listed as 3:00 pm (of course it could change though).

our cruise for the 14th of Jan shows 3:00 PM final time

Greg, you're super knowledgeable about this stuff so I ask.  Do you have an easy breakdown about the ship classes and numbers in each that Costa has?  I agree that the hulls that make sense for Carnival are Spirit, Dream, maybe Vista, and Excel class vessels.  Nothing else makes sense to hang onto as 'available inventory'.

get all the Spirit class from Costa they have, and move one to Baltimore

Was on Legend last week and the thermostat control in our cabin did not work. 

did you tell the cabin Stewert, small thing to fix

As a longtime Diamond member, I think Diamond and above should get a free “axe” throwing with Christine Duffy as the target!

Diamond gets what, they pushed Platinum's to almost the same as Diamonds,

Based on the itineraries that Heald posted on that other site, looks like Baltimore is getting the Pride back in April of 2024! 🥰

I hope so

Carnival has been doing a crack down on chairs forever, more towels have got a suntan then people, on our first cruise in 1996 they were going to handle the chair hog problem. It was something people were up at 5: to put something on a chair and show up 0900 or later to use the chair, we are not in that rat race anymore

It always takes 1 to 1/1/2 hrs for diner its been that way since the 90 s sometimes it takes 20 min till they take or order depends on how many people at your table and around you. Lots of factors. We don't eat to much in the dining room anymore, we try the Lido so we don't need to change for the evening I can stay in shorts unless we go to the Steak house, we do that 2 times a cruise .

I tried to do a search but couldn't find an answer.  Has anyone who received casino deal (Jackpot or Plan Now Play Later) had an issue with the free drinks everywhere onboard?  My sister and I booked the Magic for next month on a Jackpot deal and have several other cruises booked with the Plan Now, Play Later deal - each with free play and free drinks everywhere onboard. I typically email Players Club to get the offer verified so that if there is a problem I will have the email verification.  I emailed several days ago and haven't received a reply in reference to the Magic cruise.

 

Rather than having to email for each of the upcoming cruises and hope that I get an answer, I thought I would ask if anyone who has booked under these casino offers had any problem once onboard in reference to getting the free drinks.

 

I appreciate any information any of you may have.

 

 

I have 3 of them 2 are 14 days, Im not a drinker use it more for the coffee

We have done 6 BtoB over the years, we have the Mardi Gras in Jan and the Celebration in June we figure if we have to fly to Fla do 2. The only thing is get the same cabin for both. The other is Carnival made us get off the ship and say hello to customs and they could care less , they told us if we are not done with the cruise they don't need to see us, but Carnival still plays the game. 14 days makes you feel like you were on a cruise. We have a 14 day Journey cruise in 15 days on the Legend.

THANK YOU!!! I had someone from Philly tell me that a "real" steak & cheese had cheeze whiz on it....I was like "That's disgusting." Maybe it is supposed to, but no....I dont want mine with that fake junk, I want provolone on it! 

It must be cheese whiz or it's not a cheese steak

I don't consider cheese whiz to be cheese.

To far from the ship

2 weeks ago we got a taxi from the pier entrance to Atlantis, going $17 coming back $20, for 2 people or we could go with a few people and pay $15 . Gas prices are high I think around $8 a gal.
