My husband owns 100 shares, and I think we've redeemed this now 3 times since the reboot.

My question is, if I buy 100 shares as well, and we both have it, can we each get the $100 obc for a total of $200 on a 7-day cruise?

This will be PRIORITY self debark. Is it realistically possible to make a 10am departure from MIA from port of Miami Carnival ships? (This will be the Magic 3/2024 which isn't currently there.)

Thanks!

Interesting - seems it's clear as mud, like always !

 

My boarding pass for this Saturday on the Mardi Gras (suite and diamond) has nothing "extra" on it regarding cabin availability. 

 

 

 

BTW - It is highly unlikely we'll be there before 11 🙂

I'm sailing MG 3/4 (Platinum) and mine doesn't say Priority...

Yep - all ships w/Steakhouse (Rudi's too). It applies on both the first evening and the first cruise elegant evening (which is usually, but not always, the second night).

 

Choice of either the free bottle OR 50% off a bottle from their wine menu.

 

Tom

We have a reservation at Rudi's the first elegant night. Does that one get the free wine too?

I saw a vlog the other day that said the original Guys fries (5 guys style) are back. Don't know if that is true for all ships. Not sure which one this was on but probably MG as those are the videos I'm watching these days...

I don't think that's what OP is referring to. They used to have little trifold ship maps that were basically the same as the map you see at the elevators. I'd be interested in getting one of these myself.

Our best options are the weekend cruises out of LA (3 day on Radiance) or SF (4 day on Miracle) down to Ensenada and back. One of the concerns is that these short cruises on the weekend might be loaded with obnoxious drunks.

I would do the 4-day Miracle. The crowd on the 3-day Radiance was pretty rowdy.

On the Panorama in November I think the menu still called them wasabi mashed, but we were informed that they were no longer wasabi. They were still really good, but I do miss the wasabi.

Regarding the cabin steward...I think they have quietly changed the policy about asking your time preference. The past 2 cruises, we were never greeted that first day like we used to be. We kind of had to seek her out to ask about daily ice. But I think this may be by design so that people don't have the opportunity to ask about the time they service the room. We still have gotten pretty good service though.

This will be my first time on a cruise with the free drinks in the casino offer. Can someone please tell me if there are only certain drinks you can get with this offer, or is it anything that is offered at the casino bar? Thanks so much!

Did you try the carved roast turkey in the Lido Marketplace Friday night? It was excellent, succulent and juicy slices of turkey breast that almost melted in my mouth. Sea Day Brunch in the Vista Dining Room was a don't miss event too.

Last we went, we missed this. Each cruise, this is my favorite line up they do in the buffet.

We are canceling our 4/25 Panorama. To be clear, I have zero worry about catching Corona virus. My fear is of either being quarantined, delayed, denied embarking, denied debarking, or getting an 11th hour cancelation from the cruise line. Too many unknowns and I think the hysteria is going to get worse before it gets better. 

Can you upload photos to Facebook/Instagram if you have the social plan?

This has NOT been my experience. The wifi you get on the social plan is so weak it doesn't let you upload pics. I also could not play videos that posted on Facebook either.

Yes; you CAN get iMessages on the social plan. Keep in mind that it won't work if you're logged into chat. They used to say that iMessage was not included on the social plan, though I found I could always use it. But I want to say that they actually advertised iMessage ability on the social plan during our March Magic cruise.

They had the new menu on the Magic in March. Great menu!! I had the best fried egg sandwich I've ever eaten. The avocado toast is also a big hit!

I've made cruise payments with an Amex gift card before...

I'm going to be honest. We totally did not miss having Guys burgers or blue iguana burritos on the Miracle. And the best pizza I've had fleet-wide has been on the Miracle.

Never mind...I think I found it on John H's Facebook page!

I can't find it...

Wow! 12 days for it to post this time. Got it finally.

Wait...I have to *ask* for this??

I just made platinum, and my tags say priority. Do I still have to request a special additional tag at luggage drop-off?

Thanks,

I will never understand why people don't just TURN ON THE LIGHT.

Uh... so you don’t wake the other person sleeping. Duh...

Next cruise: 3/3/18 Carnival Magic

Yeah I called customer service and they won’t cancel one item. Seems they bundled them even though it was not a bundle deal. This was the excursion code John heald had posted on his page and there was no requirement to purchase multiples. However, I purchased 3 and they made it a bundle and now won’t let me cancel just one. They also “bundled” individual spa purchase too, which makes no sense. How is one item a bundle.

Ok I found it. Funny. You can find it on the app but not on the computer version.

I only see places to reply to other posts but no place to initiate a post. Anyone know where the elusive place is to initiate a post on his page? Thanks.

I can't find a link on his page or on his blog page on how to send a message to John Heald. Anyone know the secret?
