Ah no, the trash that have been having fights are NOT spending any money. Why do you think they are on Carnival. Instead, Carnival wants to blame the drink package and come out with some press release that says they are coming down on drinkers. Yeah, that will do it. Just look at what OP said about the kids on board. Remember when CHristine Duffy did that whole song and dance about behaving on cruises? One of the items was children 17 and under needed to be escorted by adult or in their rooms. Surely seems like they are failing in that regard. Funny, you take a higher price cruise from the likes of NCL and they offer UNLIMITED drinks and when was the last time you saw a video from a fight on NCL. ETA - Even on my Firenze cruise earlier this year, the colorful guests right next to us, were smoking weed right there on their balcony. I took pictures and went right to guest services and showed them the pics. Security comes up and asks them to not smoke in their room while the pot smoke pours out of the room. They remained on the cruise for the entirety.

Pretty much! I don't get it. We reach it this October then we have a December cruise. Our cruises next year are all on other lines.

I'll gladly take a stuffy Frenchman or Guinness swilling Brit over the trash Carnival has been having on their ships lately. My wife is dead-set on reaching Platinum this year. Which we will do in October. After that, I said we are switching to other lines. Thankfully RCL is bringing another ship to San Pedro. Wish NCL would offer a permanent ship.

We've sailed around the holidays for a number of cruises but this year will be our first that we are actually on the ship for Christmas. We're looking forward to it. I love Christmas with the family but I will not miss buying and decorating a tree, buying groceries for Christmas dinner, cooking Christmas dinner, cleaning the house for guests, cleaning the house after guests. We will miss our dog though. He loves pulling his treats and toys out of his stocking.

I think you can get a day pass to Margarita Ville for $50 for adults. Not sure on kids price. https://www.margaritavilleresorts.com/margaritaville-beach-resort-nassau

There are three things guaranteed in life....death, taxes and Panorama will arrive at the dock late Thanks for the review! On any Carnival ship, we generally always stay in the aft. Sadly on Firenze, the main lido is a bust so Carnival now has DJs and music in aft making even the back of the ship unbearable.

I know it sounds probably ridiculous but I would post that picture to John Heald's facebook page. There is NO denying that that is a bad mold problem and the fact that GS gave you the runaround for so long is deplorable.

Radiance

We saw them on Firenze. lol'd at their pricing.

Agreed. We will not sail Pano again as long as parking is directed offsite. Pre-covid, Carnival was set to build another parking garage onsite but I guess that is on-hold indefinitely. Lots of wasted land there with that dilapidated shopping area and parking lots that look to be just construction material storage. I would have thought the Port of Long Beach would have made something happen by now.

Meh, wife and I would still be sailing Inspiration and Imagination every month if they were both still in Long Beach.

Da fuq....nah, that's going to be a no from me dawg. Good thing that as I get older, Holland looks better and better every day.

Did we do this one yet? Says she did not post any information on the internet. Said some called her asking if she wanted an upgrade. Then she gave them money. Then cruise was cancelled. https://nypost.com/2024/07/19/us-news/scammer-cancels-unsuspecting-calif-familys-900-carnival-cruise-trip-just-days-before-ship-set-sail/

@Mike45LC Yes, Firenze guests get to use the parking garage.

Looks like OP and others will be happy. But not the cruise lines making the change, it's the government. https://www.travelpulse.com/news/cruise/greece-plans-to-limit-cruise-ships-at-popular-islands https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/greece-cruise-ship-cap-santorini-mykonos-b2563943.html
