From your lips….

Sounds like dinner is going to cost you a few bucks a night going forward….

Thanks for the reply

The overhaul of the loyalty program is WAY overdo. The program is unsustainable. When I read about the Disney program, I thought it was too weak to make any difference. I have personally heard about changes from mgt going back to when the Splendor came out and they hired Hana away from Starwood loyalty (I think it was). The fact of the matter is that when half the ship qualifies for the “program” it needs to be scoped down, significantly. I doubt very much very there change will only be the Disney or MSC versions. Look for somethingwhre they raise the bar for the top two levels and add a third level (just mho).

Beyond awful….wow

All cruise lines are not created equal in terms of their marketing strategy. Simply a fact. Solo cruising ia a good example, but not unique.

Hell of an idea, listen to the people that have the actual information. Novel idea. Naw, here we would rather inject agenda driven views. Much more fun. 🤩

30 bill in the hole makes you say things like that. All of which is not of their own doing.

Bingo

Been a long time since we were on the Dream. Love Journeys. I am on for the ride.

My sis ter in law got a second this year. Def a computer glitch

Stuff happens. Seen it and experienced it. There are certainly no guarantees. There are many threads where a ship is late or misses a port all together. Booking private excursions comes with a risk. As the old saying goes….let the buyer beware.

Options are always a good thing,

Expected is an interesting word. Some here would say it is included (and to a degree it is) and some would say no. We always tip extra, but that is us.

It varies (by company and plan type), but a safe rule of thumb is 14 days from initial deposit

Our first cruise was on this ship, have sailed the new one as well. Looking forward to your review.

YW, as I previously mentioned, on our last cruise on the Horizon, I tried to sample all the Emeril selections. They far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them.

Nope

Here is what I found when I googled. Google is your friend. Appears to be fleet wide by now. https://profcruise.com/carnival-menu-rollout/

Ain’t that a fact

Thanks

And they have already written off a ton of the old bad debt this year as well.

Love that news!!

Interesting. Where did it come from?

It is just pasta, made to your choice. But yes free
