Everybody has options

If you mean the bar and bar area….yes

The point of my post was (and I will type it slower this time…. MORE of his items will be added. Which makes that a yup. Sure you will see it when you start sailing Carnival again…..😂 . Take it the bank.

Love some pics also

As always, thanks for the expertise and knowledge

What are you trying to do with it

As Lou Cristie used to sing….Lightning striking again

There are without a doubt facts there. Is there conjecture? Sure. Part of what CC is all about.

Just heard it was a lighting strike.

Not sure where it started but sef pretty much gone by the time it was out.

My guess is that would be the best as well. Some states (specifically in the Northeast), they go back before labor day. Op, love your name btw.

Depending on what time of year it is (and it does make a difference), and not taking into account Journey cruises, while I do not have the data to back it up, I have seen lets where there are a few hundred Diamonds and over a thousand plats. On some Journey cruises we have done (agree they are not the norm) we have seen where only 300 (or thereabout) are NOT diamond or plat. Again, the real point is the number grows, every, single, cruise. On our most recent MG cruise (the ships sold out) there was 4 new diamonds and I would estimate 25 or so new plats (including 3 of my grandkids), these were just the ones that were at the (watered down diamond/plat party), who knows what the real number is. That is one cruise, multiple that by 26 others ships (give or take) at least every week. Something has to give.

I am awayre of casino perks and who pays, I guess I misunderstood your post.

It is certainly headed in that direction. I have seen sailings where 2/3 of the ship are plat and diamond. More and more get added every single sailing’

You really think big spenders cover the cost for everyone that gets elite or ultra perks?

Yum

There is no such thing as a free room.

There is only one road out. Either they continue to dilute the product until it is meaningless and goes away or they make changes. You simply cannot have 1/2 to 2/3 of the ship going for free drinks for an hour, or boarding early, or free laundry or whatever the perk is. It is not a matter of who wins and who loses but whether they can make loyalty rewards work. If they cannot it will be over.

good for you.

I would put little faith in those numbers. I trust they are accurate but totally misleading.

I am sure it is a computer program that does analysis of specific cruise ship sailings and booking trends. A certain category shows up as light (really does not matter how far it is out) and sends out the data in an email. We get them all the time for our clients (but to be truthful, not that far out). Did you compare the price offered to online what was currently being offered?

while I do not know the logic for the offers, my guess is there is some algorithm knowing your booking history, or just a blind outreach based in type of cabin booked. We are very selective and mostly take specialty cabins, so rarely get an offer.

well then you are right. Now we can move on.

LOL, even looking at my own pics confuses me….

They sure are
