I just got back from from an Australia cruise on the 14th and my casino offers just loaded on the 26th. so less than 2 weeks. This was my first time logging any kind of real points on Carnival and the offers that I got were very good. I think I finished with over 7000 points and all of my offers included Drinks on Us throughout the whole ship for just me. there was one offer that I will taking advantage of next week. The FDZ code will allow a 2025 booking and you can select any cabin rather than have it assigned. If you go above the interior cabin, it looks like you just pay the difference. For comparison, I think my wife finished with around 4500 points and her DOU was casino only and went as high as a free ocean view on select sailings and the room is assigned at a later date.

- what nights were elegant nights If I remember right it was on Monday and Thursday. You will see a mix of very nicely dressed to Aussies on Vacation. - is the coffee free? I heard you had to pay for coffee. Buffet coffee is free but they have coffee bar on Deck 3 and at the Serenity Bar on 9 that is excellent. - how was snorkeling in the great barrrier reef? Do they have stinger for those of us in the larger side? I Scuba dived at the reef from Cairns and Port Douglas and both times they had 3X stinger suits included in the Excursion price. The 3x is the largest but they are lycra and stretch nicely, both in height and width. -how was the drinking water on board? Fine, They have filtered water machines at the buffet

I have only flown out of Oslo one time back in the Norwegian Air days to LAX and I have to say, I have never seen such a large number a passengers with the "SSSS" on our flight. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that over 50 passengers had to go through this extra screening. Agreed that this has nothing to do with the airline and everything to do with the Airport itself as seemed to me that our flight was not a one off.

I have a question for the travel agents on here. I booked 7 rooms last Saturday through an agent friend on the family. She told me she tried to call Carnival to open a group but they were closed. She booked our cabins individually since the promotion was ending the same day. When she called on Monday to group our bookings together, she was told that was not possible. Does this sound right to any of you because it certainly doesn't sound correct to me? Any advice you can provide to steer this in the right direction would be much appreciated.

This is an example of why I was asking. The Paper in the picture shows Tacos till 3:00pm but the website shows this. Marketing and Reality are not on the same page.

We did use the Ship eats on our last night and it was actually pretty good.

And this is why I was asking. The website states that the Taco and Sandwich venues are open in the evening. This was not my experience and it looks like you didn't see that either. Thanks

I last sailed back in November 2022 and the all of the Galley venues closed at 3:00pm except for the diner which only served breakfast 24 hours. Now looking at their website, all of the other Galley venues have wording that they would be open in the evening. Is this a recent change or did my cruise in November just close up early because it was only around 60% occupied? Looking to verify before I make another booking. Having only 2 options (Breakfast and pizza) past 3:00pm outside of the specialty venues is a deal breaker. Please let me know your experiences. Thanks

I got this in a targeted Casino Offer a few days ago. I completed a mock booking in a Mini-Suite for $2300

AA 787 would be my first choice. I just had this seat on domestic hop from MIA to DFW and absolutely impressed with the seat. I had the 2 seats on the side in the last row. We had a bulkhead behind us and the seats still fully reclined. They were super comfortable as well. Can comment on the soft product since these seats were marketed as just extra legroom and you would be getting the full service internationally.
