Interesting, when we were on the Pride to Iceland in August they were all brought separately.

yes what weezal said.

Agreed, They have always treated my son well every since our first cruise. Never had to worry about him or whether he was having a great time. and yes i too get excited to see our ship each and every time.

But is that really a vacation?

besides calling Carnival? nope, no suggestions.

So true. while school schedules may factor into it a bit its the Parents who make the decision on when to travel. Our family cruises were never dependent on when my son was out of school.

thats the way i get my margharitas too lol

done it lots no issues

If you do that just remember to check your time. If its set to ship time it might auto update once back off Airplane mode.

The time you request is when you enter it into your app. Want a specific time then dont enter it in until just before you want to go.

It is a great evening dining experience. we do it every cruise its offered. Also on the Celebration for a 7 night cruise you will be hard pressed to enjoy all the food options if the MDR is in your plans as well. Just too many lol. Emiril's for Banana's Foster is a must do as well.

Exactly my point. People are calling it the midnight buffet, expecting the same as a midnight buffet (even though its not) and getting upset about it.

mmmkay but is it really the "Midnight Buffet" of old or just some snacks laid out to offset the lack of venue offerings at that time of the night?

Carnival.com is your friend....

Thanks for pointing that out. My opinion is 5 may be many when reading only 10 reviews but given there are hundreds of responses on many threads here on cruise critic related to the Mardi Gras saying the exact opposite i would say 10 reviews is a pretty tiny data set to base any comments on.

When you say "so many" could you put a number to that? Did you read 1 thread? 5? 15? Did you just read the first post or did you read all the replies to the post? Ive never seen a thread on a Ship review that had a 100% agreement with that review. Just curious how you arrived at "so many"

What does " a no once" and "a no obvious" refer too?

so no need to gamble just give them your personal info?

1000 dollars i play poker

what the others said....

dont i wish i had an understanding of the algorithm they use to determine that. I gamble maybe 1000 each cruise and i cruise once a year sometimes twice and have a lot of free interior room offers although 95% are to Australia.

I would have to be there to help you love your cruise. 🙂

Should have emphasized how you wanted the job so bad that you were willing to interrupt your vacation to accomodate them.

its like being at an Airport they have staff that will take you onboard and off if you require assistance.
