I am old school. I like cash.  I have limited in amount of cash I can lose each day.  Don’t want to be on day two of cruise and out of money,  

Lost depends on where you go out of. Going out of NYC. Casino is always crowded, getting a good machine is trying. And that a normal cruise. Going out of NOLA. casino is never that crowed except for 20 minutes after the show ends. It takes the show group 10 minutes to lose there $5 abdominal leave 

Carnival wants there customers to drink those $15 drinks.  Carnival makes more profit from drinking then cruise fair…. If people drink too much you get craziness .  Carnival tolerates craziness. Because the money drinking brings in.  
‘The drink  package you need to drink 6 drinks to break even .  

When you have a casino drink on us card.  I always get two bottles of water before I leave the casino to bring back to the room. 

That’s so SAD.   I love that ship layout. and size.  Bigger enough to have all the specialty restaurants.  But not that big 

Did the AFT balcony once. First you may get vibration from the props    Or you may not.  My big down thing is  the cabin is just so far from everything.  Elevators.  Buffer,  theater, dining room.  It’s just seams like you are always walking.  
I like mid ship rooms a few cabins away from elevators.  Quick trip to buffer in morning to get coffee and cake.   Late at night. After drinking way too much. Quick trip to cabin.  That IMHO 

How are you getting to LAX.  Ship transportation, prebook bus to airport?

Buss leave a certain time.  And it’s like a hour to airlines. Then TSA. 
What time is the flight.  Need to be at 11am

We did the 15 day Hawaii cruise. So had to do the bag service. Think it was $10 a bag.  It was ok not the greatest. But was not going to wash my own clothes.  I was on vacation.  No room cleaning, no cooking,no laundry 

You as a person must add up all those charges to figure out the total cost of your cruise then ASK  the question.  Do I really want to pay X for a Carnival cruise.  Is Y cruise line cheaper, free internet, free. Or is a land base vacation better deal 

With the middle WiFi. Plan.  You, should, depending on WiFi gods. Make phone calls. Always could make them.  May not work but you Waite a hour then it works.  You can do Facebook, iMessage ( all WiFi not data)  to communicate.  You can set up codes. Blue is all ok. Red call rect. “. The water is blue today”. All ok 

You get a bunch of non drinkers. Drinking those fruity drinks until they drunk and don’t realize there are drinking that much.  That were the trouble starts.   I find out of NYC you get a lot of gamblers, the casino is always packed.  Out of NOLA it’s not the case. Can always find a good machine there   

Free room and drinks on them card from the Casino. Just pay port ect

Bsst deal out there.  Their casino isn’t that bad you can play for hours. Win ,lose, win ,lose.  In the end  Theanount you lose still is. Better then paying full fair and have hours of casino fun 

Is the “ players Club” casino offering any good deals now or for the summer May June 

When the Breakaway was new I only paid like $3000 for two in the haven.

It was one of the smaller cabins across from the restaurant 

I love the Haven.  But going over $6000 it’s just like you can do, three other cruises for that price. 

Carnival ships need to have some rust. Or else you will think you are on the wrong ship 

I get free drinks in the casino.   That is enough drinking for me.  You Have to be sober some of the time. 

CPAP Allowed.  You should request an extension cord from the ship. To keep room stewards happy.  They give you to used a ocean approved cord  

All cruise lines kinda gave the finger to the us government,  By playing games. On not paying crew normal wage, or benefits as workers. Not paying income taxes, or Corp tax as.  Only the power the US government is allowing ship to port in the US.

The US government is not going to do back flips for the cruise lines.

Airlines pays there workers a good wage. Workers pay income tax, Corp pays Corp tax .  Airline workers live in the US. Pay local taxes. Shop in local stores. Ect.  So it’s important to keep airlines flying 

CDC said NO

But you get hours of fun in the casino.  If you are into it. Free drinks are a nice perk for casino guest. Plus you get money off of cabin rate and casino money 

I have seen Carnival set two tables together for big familys.  
I think you must ask for this in advance of your trip.   Don’t really think this is a big deal for them 

When you get free drinks in casino you have to pay the tax in state waters. Until they are out of the state limited normal mid night 

My feelings what ever it’s worth.  All cruise lines will require vaccinations before letting on a cruise.   They don’t want to look bad by having an outbreak on the ship 

You have to drink more then six or seven drinks per day. Including the first day. Getting on the ship after noon.  And days dock in ports 

Even though Carnival and all the big three have offices in the US. And have to pay property tax sales tax ect.  The Corp is a foreign Corp. so not paying corporate income tax the big one
