Sit Down Breakfast in MDR going away?
jimbo5544 replied to CarnivalCruiser875's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Just another attempt to bash at every single opportunity. -
I have seen the screen when they do the card. It clearly says cheers
-
Maybe they just see the truth thru all the bashing from the few here.
-
Always thought it was more for the guests than processing on the card.

Thanks for the quick review. Hope the travel worked out. We love the MG and Excel class.

Let us know how it works out -
Ok, I will bite, what bias would that be?

I will reply and move on. I said if they meant no, then it means no. 1. I could care less what they meant when they said no. Things change all the time. No’s can become yes as I pointed out. Studies can and are manipulated all the time. It is what the companies that do the studies get paid to do. Make the study look like what the people who pay you to do the study want it to look like. Reality 2. Key West voting on it turns out mean diddly. They were overridden. They said no and lost. Cruising wins. The State rules in all of these issues, not a little island town. As it should be. 3. According to Cruise Mapper, if you call it a win in Bar harbor, seems like a paper tiger win to me. https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/bar-harbor-port-543 And that is just May. 4. Push back on Alaskan ports from cities has been going on (and admittedly the state as well) goes back and forth like a ping pong ball. Just like Norway, they can do what they want. They do that at their own peril. You dismiss it, but it is real. I get your point. That said, cruising is not the evil axis, they had made errors (not even close to other industries, when it comes to ecology. If Norway, Bar Harbor and Alaska want to drastically limit cruising and label it green, as I said before, that is their decision. Those towns and cities will suffer and suffer big. Telling the cruise industry they “have to change” and not even tell them what they need to change or whether it is realistic is nothing more than a red herring. I know it and you know it. I will restate my original post, and I mean it. That is a shame. We, the cruising community are worse off from their decisions.

No is a no. If they do not want cruise ships, then it is what it is. They will sail to all the surrounding countries. From my view, it will change nothing and they lose. Maybe Tesla is building an e-boat, that seems to be going well…. Key West….hmmmm. Here is the link for their cruise ship schedule, looks pretty full to me. Call the King of Norway, sign up for this and I will be happy. https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/key-west-port-121 Must have missed Bar harbor on the top ten list of cruise. When did Alaska kill cruising? Look s pretty full to me (quick google of the ones CC shows. https://www.cruisecritic.com/smart-deals/destination-115/?suppressTabs=1&source=132660&taparam=ECCGoogleUS_Kkwd-79646473913309:loc-190_A1274334647860365&supai=&supsn=s&supmbl=&suppos=&supap1=347000205&supap2=1274334647860365&supdev=c&suprnd=&supmob=kwd-79646473913309:loc-190&suplp=&msclkid=4f2e4fbf6aef1265c70a2991b5892e79&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=132660_CC_Bing_US_Desktop_Destinations_Exact_132660&utm_term=alaska cruises for 2024&utm_content=Alaska They talk the talk but give in, in the end. Dead Presidents rule. That is the biggest picture.

There are a host of different possible reasons. Their website has always been a little flukey, this is a trial and they are seeing demand, the number they are willing to support may be full, and on and on. I would continue to monitor and see if it pops up again. -
Saint Greg's Carnival Horizon ABC - Live - April 27, 2024
jimbo5544 replied to Saint Greg's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Those cruises do fly by. -
In my humble view, that is the absolute worst scenario.
-
Obviously they can do whatever they want. If they do not want tourists or tourist dollars, then so be it. It seems their higher standard (if that is the notifier they are trying to send) is to not have ships cruise. Alaska does similar. Norway is not going to change the cruise industry, that is just silly. If anybody really thinks that maybe 10 cruises makes a difference in anything in our world then that is really head scratching material. Restate my original post. That is a shame.

That is a shame

Met some people in Dover that were getting off the Pride doing the Norwegian sailing. They LOVED it. Was disappointed when we got back and I looked and saw that it was not on any schedule….. Would do that in a NY minute.

Had not thought about the addition of the additional ship to this class. I tdoes offer up some good options. Problem is, I like almost all of the options you describe. Most are mutually exclusive I would think, with the exception of of the winter/summer swaps. Personally, doing a world cruise segment of two would be the best option for me (wife may have a different view), but if that dog don’t hunt, going back to more extended Journey’s would be sweet.

Did not know they had shrimp in buffalo…..
