    I misread your post.

    You have never seen Carnival enforce any rules. I find this hard to believe. I have seen Carnival Security remove people from the casino and I have also walked by rooms where a security officer is sitting outside a cabin because a person is on house arrest.

    I do recommend going to straight to the muster station once boarding. It is quick and easy.

    you don't have to muster first to get a drink. They will cut you off if you haven't been to your muster station by a certain time. Usually, around sail away time.

    At the slot machine there is no fee to download money from your sail and sign card. At the table games they charge 3% fee. If you are trying to avoid the fee by downloading at the slot machine and then going to the tables, make sure and spin a few times on the slot machine first. Otherwise, they will lock your card and give you a scolding.

    You use your boarding pass. Unless you are sailing out of Galveston or New York, works when you board.

    I bring one every cruise to use in our room. The issue is when others bring them to the pool areas and blast their own music.

    Bring a night light. The messing through the carnival app is hit or miss. On my last three cruises I message worked when texting to other I phones. So I would try that first before paying the $ 5. Registration is 14 days before the cruise, unless you are platinum or diamond, then it is 16 days.

    I tried to save money by booking my wifes sister in our room.. Panorama Havana inside. @mz-s is correct, they don't put the pullmans up. The bed was left in the down position all cruise. If your not careful you can bump your head when getting up off of the bed.

    Not all certified copies have the raised seal. That isn't a requirement.

    On our last cruise, we were seated in the same section every night without asking. We ate at all different times. Now this was a journey cruise to Hawaii where there were a lot of older people on the ship that ate right when the restaurant opened. Never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for dinner.

    Where they drop you off at is only a block or 2 to the beach area.

    They have busses that take you into town.

    on our 14 day Journey cruise comedy was held in the Mad Hatters lounge on deck 2. A couple of nights they did comedy in the main theater.

    They do not count towards the 15 limit. Only drinks with alcohol are limited.

    Carnival shows college and NFL games on multiple TVs all around the ship, just not in your stateroom. The issue is the other sports are only shown if they are on ESPN or ESPN international. NFL games are not an issue on Carnival.

    I found the hub app didn't always update my points everyday. I only played table games. I have 3 future cruises booked on casino deals and my last 4 cruises were all on casino deals. I have found that I spend twice the amount of time in the casino and probably spend twice the amount of out of pocket money than my DW who only plays slots to get the same offers as her.

    They track when you cash out or buy in, with chips or with cash.
  19. dallasdan
    on table games they only track the main bet not any of the bonus bets.

    all of my casino offers expired yesterday. I am thinking a new round of offers will come out any day now.
  21. dallasdan
    It doesn't show up on your booking. I went to oceansplayersclub.com and select verify your casino offer. They will send you an email confirming what offer you have booked. I have never had a problem once on board, however, I always have the email back up just in case.

    Is the same law for sailings out of New York. I think most people put the liquor in their suitcase and bypass the table when leaving the port.
  23. dallasdan
    My DW and I have really good casino offers right now and have booked 2 cruises with another couple. Me in one room and my wife in the other room. Once on board we went to guest services and switched rooms and received new sail and sign cards. Super easy. No need to carry around an extra key card. The only issue is the luggage. Just tag the luggage to room not the person.

    I have sailed 4 times since the restart and I only remembered to go and pick up the Platinum gifts at pixel on 2 of them. I don't really think about the Platinum perks when going on a cruise. I like the priority embarkation and debarkation.

    When I cruised in December of 2021 on the Dream out of Galveston they showed the NFL games on Sunday, Sunday night and Thursday night. They also showed the Sunday afternoon game on Lido. I didn't sail last NFL season so I am not sure about Thursday night games on Amazon.
