I didnt know you were only supposed to take 2 slices. I've always asked for a double portion and gotten it. I don't remember any scowls. I do expect to spend more on pay restaurants on my upcoming carnival cruise.

As I said I stopped uploading a picture. .. as in I don't do it any more. Last year or two I sropped. They were taking a new picture at the terminal anyway, so no sense to me. ..doesnt matter, just saying it's not required to check in.

They take a picture every time at check in at the terminal. No sense doing it twice. So I stopped. And I check in online not the app and you can skip it and pick a time.

I used to upload a picture of my passport picture. Never once took a selfie. Now I started to skip by the picture. So far no one said anything. I mean as in I dont upload a picture at all.

When did you last cruise with this diet?

I dont think any that were changed were thru the canal. They were partials. They stopped in colon Panama.i didnt see any full transits cancelled... and the partials were changed rather than cancelled, but they allowed people to cancel when the ports were changed.

I treat myself to a fresh squeezed OJ every morning. It was so good last march, one morning I had 2. I also have gone to the spa and picked up a bottle of vitamin water. Though other water will do, I like the vitamin water onboard. So I guess you dont like juice or water either. And milk shakes and blended spa health drinks. And I'm not much at consuming liquids, like most people. I dont drink liquids much but I still get a few things to drink. I'm just saying you are the first I've seen who says he never bought any drink onboard that costs extra.

Wow I didnt know there was anyone who never bought a drink. .. we found him!! Even cheapo me I've purchased some drinks, mocktails or regular. .. and I'm cheap. I'd rather eat than drink tbh, so I'm more apt to pay for food than drinks I admit.

Lol when i first read your post I thought you were worried about waking up on time and over sleeping. I have a 730 excursion next January and I'm thinking .. do I really want to do it this early? Lol. 730 am is early to me.

Idk about newer ships, but on liberty I found a switch above the desk, next to the outlet. I could turn announcements on and off in my cabin. It was making a buzzing sound all the time so I turned it off. Usually dont both. Idk if other ships have a switch to turn this on and off. .. just that liberty I could turn off announcements in my cabin.

Ok I'm watching people on wonder on social media. I saw after I reposted that you said 7 not 9. They heard more than you did, but I left what I posted .. either is a lot. There is a wonder group posting about it and i know i told some girl quit worrying. She was posting she wanted to cancel over it. There are other places posting about the emergencies. Someone posted 8 were medical, 1 not medical. Not the alpha alpha alpha, one was different. But i did see you posted there were fewer than the other place was saying. Sorry. I didnt see what you posted until later .. that you said only 7. Too late for me to change above. As far as the OP here personally if there is a emergency during the night I'm ok with the captain on the loudspeaker saying something. My carnival breeze cruise we had to do a rescue at sea as we came into Galveston and didnt dock unto 10 am. Bummer but I'd still rather know than not know even if during the night. Newbies on the other social place were nervous even when people said it happens dont let it worry you. Cant say where I saw it. Sorry and hope it didnt affect your cruise.

Imo dont worry about the health questions. I keep waiting until it openes and then I'm blocked from answering. Says my ship has sailed. If you dont answer ahead of time they will ask these 3 burning questions in the terminal .. are you pregnant .. ah no .. It's not IT at its finest. Do what you can and dont worry about small stuff. It doesnt take them long to ask if you dont get the questions.

Yes but you have to call for one to book drinks, the other to book the refreshment pkg.

I think it might have been vista that makes beer onboard. They sell growlers which apparently are larger containers for draft beer. Drink faster to keep it from getting warm? Idk. I'm also not a beer drinker. Carnival has it's own beer they make on a few ships.

It's even nicer to transfer to a TA for more obc. Only got 1 I booked onboard. Timing hasnt been quite right. I'll get better at this. Bella2.0 only booked onboard. 75 onboard, 100 obc from ta and group, 100 from stocks ... adds up to sweet!

Not sure but my tickets are usually laying on my bed when I board with directions. Like meet in the theater and go as a group to a waiting mini bus which takes you to the excursion. I set my alarm for a wake up call.

If he said he could do it, it can be done. Hes a TA living in canada and specializes in rcl. He said how to do it, use a different home address for your friend on the booking. Either book them or dont. He wouldnt tell you to do something that would cause legal issues. If you still feel worried consult a lawyer, not a cruise site about immigration issues.

Belize is the only tender I've seen that takes motorized chairs. Maybe there is a section on cc where other such ports with hc tenders are listed?

We have done a b2b lunch but usually off to one side in the Mdr but it does often have steak or rib type cut offered. You have to have like 27 b2b, some number triggers a b2b lunch. Almost always. You will get a note where the b2b lunch will be held. Imo it's worth it. Nice lunch around noon ..later than the WJ. Sometimes the b2b is very fast and sometimes not so fast. I've had a few times a computer was down and they couldnt load new manifest and other little things held us up. No set time to be walked back onboard.

Hes a travel agent and hes telling his clients to wait for rcl if they promised to let you know by 6 pm tonight, surely they would hang on rather than up and cancel before they know...hours away now.

Wonder has had 9 emergencies I read yesterday. Some people are making a big deal of how many and worrying. I think it's good the captain gets on the pa. Some of these caused the ship course to change.

CNBC the hosts, cramer and that other guy just made a off hand comment inventories at 40 year low. The price is at your date, not inventories. These hosts cant all be wrong. Doesnt matter just another host said it too, cnbc. Not the best for cruiselines, higher oil. And this has been a up week for oil, it broke out chart wise. Lots of higher highs, mortgage rate, treasuries, take your pick. I'm watching numbers. RCL bounced right back from mid 94s, very strong. It had dropped on ccl comments, then came right back. Zacks is predicting great earnings for rcl. I'm very bullish. All in before next earnings.

Depends on the time of day I'd say. Ours tried to open at midnight and crashed. I could and did book at 3 am. I dont think rcl is open during the wee hours when everyone is jumping on to book shows.

Lol I was sitting here thinking I wish I could just order a pizza from Giovanni and not pay for a whole meal .. and then thought .. ohoh that's what pizza gate was all about, would we pay for pizza. I would pay for good pizza. Giovanni.

Where are you seeing this that people are cancelling? I have seen some on allure winning some royal ups, but no way for me to know if people are cancelling.
