Kind of looks like a costa mover over now….

EDL has had a really checkered path…..timing included.

And now you know what I suspect. Thanks for the permission.

Thanks for the Webster alliteration. While I think I grasped that, I noticed where the poster was from and was curious as to their view (if it helps, I can say opinion). Which is an entirely different discussion them some just being cheap. Maybe, just maybe sometimes we can learn from other points of view. Lastly, I brought up earlier how many posts and threads there are on this topic, but the discussion makes it way more interesting.

They need something to pay for those monstrosities…..other than the absolutely ridiculous rates they charge for Icon. But when you are doing 1+ ships a year at 2 bill per ship.throwing some free booze at their loyal customers must work…. All that said, if it works for you, it work. Thanks for the reply.

Enlighten us

Meh….loyal royals cannot help themselves, they are lemmings. Went to a comedy (overstated) show on Oasis and his entire rant was on CCL.

I am confused…..did you like the entertainment?😎

Guess if you sail for those perks, your decision is made. To think that any program revamp will get you 500 of free booze is just silly. Guess it is how you look at….

Four is what I remember but it has been a while

why would the pier have an impact?

Pretty impressive.

In this case, variety is the spice of life....go for it.

I think I understood what you were saying.

Could be me, but I do not remember 6 in the bucket.....but that memory is after the bucket......

Gotta love CC, now we have burger experts that know more than the experts..... Guys are simply the best free burger at sea. regardless of how some think they are cooked. Home run for Carnival's interaction with Guy Fieri. Quality guy got to meet him on the Dream naming ceremony.

might be cheaper.....and quicker

That would a huge increase in height.

I would be surprised at the CC having a play, but that is just me. Way to many options without adding another.

nice bucket list trip, one of my fav areas, and I travel a pretty good amount.

The interaction (the way it used to be) was the best part of the experience.

I would counter the quality comes with the quanity.

We agree

Fine to say, and I do not disagree on the approach to the issue (and it is an issue). That said, what everyone does has ramifications. All over the place, from guest services to potential large changes the cruise line or industry must do because of what people do. Rules and policies are put in place to keep the baseline standard operating smoothly, when these are abused, things degade and it becomes exponential. Just remember you said you do not care.

I cannot dispute what you say. It again shows another example of what happens when way too many people qualify. Our first Diamond event was 4 people and we had tremendous interaction with all senior staff. Similar but larger numbers as they grew in size. At some point, that is not feasible, hence the luncheons, now they have multiple of those. The Diamond lnuch is excellent, but pales in comparison to past events. Just MHO.
