Bump...hoping to find someone who used this at port babysitting service and can provide more info before we go next week. Not sure if we need to plan to take our toddler with us at each port or if there is a chance we can leave him on board at one stop...

I totally agree about the interior and how some things are broken, rusted, etc...

We sailed on the Triumph just a few weeks after its repairs and immediately noticed what you are describing. There was cosmetic damage in the stateroom, issues with some lights, etc...

Does anyone have actual experience with this?

I have read the FAQ here:

http://www.carnival.com/core/faq.aspx?icid=CC_Footer_88#q-544846

It is not very clear though. What hours do the offer this baby sitting for kids who are under 2 on port days (specifically on the Triumph)?

How much does it cost?

In case of emergency how to they get in touch with you?

Do they change diapers?

If anyone who has actually used this service can provide some insight that would be greatly appreciated.

Our first cruise was on Disney with then a 9 month old. It was great since there is babysitting and activities for kids all ages. In 2 weeks we are going on Carnival with our baby again who is now 20 month old and I am kind of nervous since Carnival doesn't provide anything but cribs.

I am not worried about supplies, etc...Problem is that they have no baby sitting. Thats the biggest problem.

I don't understand why Carnival doesn't offer anything for kids younger than 2 while their competitors do. They are supposed to be a family friendly line...

I guess it's nice to know who the CD will be but what I really like to see is the comedian schedule.

I just got an "Upgrade" for my June 2013 B2B cruises in June on Carnival Glory.

 

I booked Category 1A, but had two different cabins for each of the cruises. I requested to move me anywhere on the ship if possible so that I could have the same cabin for both cruises. I was upgraded to Category 4B for both cruises so I could have the same cabin. No extra charge.

 

I don't really consider it an upgrade in cabin because my original was a Port Hole with 1 Twin and Convertable Sofa. My upgrade is to an Inside with 2 Twins/King. Since I'm traveling solo, I prefer the Port Hole with Convertable Sofa. However, I'm very happy with the change because I much rather have the same cabin for both cruises than the Port Hole.

 

Not quite a last minute upgrade. The reason for the upgrade is to give me the same cabin for both cruises.

How is this an upgrade? You are going from a room with a window / porthole to an inside cabin with no window? Thats like a downgrade if you ask me :p

To me, an upgrade is moving from one category to another (inside to Oceanview; Oceanview to Balcony, etc) , and not moving from one floor to another higher floor within the same category. Even though Carnival charges more for higher floors, I don't think anyone really considers this an upgrade, per se.

I totally agree.

I was booking a Carnival cruise 2 days ago. It kept saying that there is a free upgrade. All it was is moving an Ocean View room from deck 1 to deck 2. I don't know about others but if I select an Ocean View room I don't really care what deck it's on, what side of the ship its on or if its forward, mid, or aft.

An upgrade should be like you say, interior to ocean view...ocean view to balcony...etc...

I dont remember what his name is but the waiter in this picture was my favorite. He was on the Conquest in May 2009:
