Because like all "law enforcement", there is a fine line between having sufficient presence to deter/catch wrong-doers, and feeling like a police state with regular patrols every 5 minutes.
If security doesn't know there is a bluetooth speaker annoying someone somewhere, they might not ever know if they aren't patrolling around in that area. Maybe it's an area that hasn't normally been a problem, so they are hanging around the clubs or the pools or the casino or wherever there might be a more regular incident.
If they start enforcing it around common areas where they know there is a problem, we can talk. They know there is a problem. If they cant figure it out I will leave them to it until they do. Not a loss to me.

Yes, if you have a compliant you need to put it in front of the people who can resolve it. How does Security know if loud music is being played on the balcony next to you?
Referring to speakers by the pool not my balcony. How do they know? They have acknowledged the problem, they know.

To the people that ask did you call security did you go to guest services, why is that MY job? I'm on vacation, they know there is a problem, they need to look for it and correct it. We have done over one hundred cruises, mostly with carnival, but dont even have one booked with them now, and 11 booked with. various other lines.
Speak to them with your money folks.

I think carnival is trying to fill the diamond club

How much food are you taking??? Hold your food in one hand and his in the other.
Lol, too bad not everyone is as smart as you.

I have seen it closed on first day.

Wouldn't the attendant just look over from the other side and see? It all comes down to enforcing the rules.

Why did you ALWAYS get it if you were ALWAYS unimpressed? I tried it here and there but rarely get it. I'd rather get something I like rather than get something just to tell people I had it, or because I felt like I should like it because seemingly most make a big deal about "lobster".

We just booked the TA on the Freedom, got the unbelievable casino rates for a balcony (the mandatory tip charge is more than the cabin) on deck 6. My “fear” is Freedom will be gasping for dry dock by that time. Sigh....
Not too late to cancel...

You can book up until the ship has zero passengers and the nee manifest is loaded into the ships system. Will there be anything available? Maybe, maybe not. Passengers who book with 24 hours or less before sailing are subject to those extra security checks someone mentioned.

From 1130 pm to 100 am on a daily basis there was a mini buffet available on the Mardi Gras this past week. Mac n cheese with pulled pork, two sandwich choices and fruit and cookies were available.
Also, Quest has returned as "Adult Game Night". Was held in the Punchliner Lounge this past week and scheduled again for later this week. The game was even raunchier than it was in the past and a good time was had by all. As usual, no details can be given since what happens at "Adult Game Night stays at Adult Game Night."
Cut backs continued as the Australian Wagu at the steakhouse was replaced by a skirt steak. Bottled Pure Leaf iced tea is no longer available as well as the bottled Starbucks coffees.
The inclusion of the 50th birthday MDR options was a nice improvement over our February sailing with such options as Wiener Schnitzel on night 3. Overall, the front end of our B2B was typical Carnival fun and hopefully the bar will be raised again when the Celebration joins the fleet in November.
We had "adult game night" on Dream this week.
As the cruise director said, "here's what you came for"

Means you'll be onboard for sail away

TERRIBLE. We've used the hanging tag Continental breakfast nearly every day on every cruise. It literally serves as our alarm clock, as necessary. For those that know, does the house phone have a wake up call feature?
Your room phone has it, yes

Most likely? From CDC.
"One of the problems with recent COVID-19 infections is that a patient may continue to test positive for weeks or even months after the infection has cleared up from the body. A positive COVID-19 test in a patient who has recovered from COVID-19 and who no longer has any symptoms will most likely indicate that the test is detecting non-infectious virus fragments and the patient is no longer infectious."

In the end it's an 8 day cruise. First sea day then day 6 usually.

Second night, no need for semantics

Bummer - I don't see it.
Look at the bright side, you no longer have to wonder about it.

Those are fine, it comes how it comes. Officially, doubles aren't allowed with cheers, unofficially, good tips may allow one to bypass this. 😉
I wonder what it cost to just pay for it instead of tipping and hoping. Not sure which is cheaper.

You should book with the ones from the other thread who never have to wait in line.

I see this blanket statement every now and then and I think it does a disservice to CCL. Every single time I have been able to identify which balcony smoke is coming from I have called Guest Services and every single time they have sent security to that cabin. So maybe that didn't happen in some people's experience or maybe it couldn't be identified as to which cabin it was coming from, but by the same token, do we know that RCL or NCL handles these situations any better?
I've seen carnival security and employees walking by smokers on the lido and not say a thing to them. They don't enforce their rules enough period. I'm not security, dont leave it up to me to go find someone to tell. They need to do a better job.

You definitely need a car to get around Houston if you are staying a few days. Car drip off is limited in Galveston. What you might consider is renting the car at the airport, returning it to the same place on cruise day, and take the carnival shuttle to the port. Remember to purchase it in advance.

Hobby is 30 miles closer, its 41 miles to the port. IAH is 70

Carnival, why do you even make rules?

Is this carnivals preferred clientele?
