But what was the deal with the tournament, was the grand prize actually $100,000 in cash? Was it even a top cash prize, or something else and the $100,000 was just totally misleading?

I was invited to one of these in May 2020 and of course it was cancelled. Top prize was $50,000. Here’s the prize schedule.

Free champagne and big deck party with the countdown. We boarded the Panorama on New Year’s Eve and they had moved elegant night to that night. Very fun vibe all around!

Love the Twilight  Zone! I also like to alternate sips of a margarita and a Funship!  The sweet and sour go excellent together!

I really liked the door hanger breakfast ordering. I believe I read that you can now call the night before and place your order for the morning. Has anyone done that? 

I placed my order the night before by phone and it arrived right on time. This was 2 weeks ago on Spirit.

I had this same issue at check in.I logged off and logged back in and then I was able to complete it.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Eli, she seems very level headed and is an experienced cruiser. I have no reason to doubt her claims. She has taken the time to share plenty of her trip experiences and doesn't come across as someone who exaggerated anything. She likes cruising and cruises with Carnival and isn't overcritical, based on previous trip reports. I would like to hear more and believe she experienced what she says she experienced. She seems to be a sharp cookie and I have no reason to doubt her, she's certainly not anti-cruising or anti-Carnival so it wouldn't make sense for her to make something up or cast undo shade where it isn't warranted.     

I agree with this 100%!  People seem to take any negative comments personally just because it wasn’t their experience. It’s really unfair to deny someone else’s experience!

Did a naturalist come on board to narrate on the day of Tracy Arm? Enjoy your cruise!

0/2 for me, have a feeling that the cards with this offer are the ones with yearly fees. 

My Sapphire with the offer has no fee. I pay fees on my Hyatt and Southwest and did not receive offers on those. Seems really random.

I received the $40 on my Sapphire as well. Yay!  Not on my Chase Southwest or Hyatt though.

We’re almost Diamond on Carnival, but going to check out Princess in January since they’re going to start sailing out of San Diego where we live. The cruise goes to Loreto and La Paz which will be new ports for us. Really excited for this!

I’m on the Panorama now and everything has been great so far. Embarkation was very organized for the early groups, but noticed people were still boarding after 4pm. I’m sure that must have been frustrating for those people. We have a Cloud 9 cabin and the spa wasn’t too crowded at 8am. I didn’t bother getting my scrub because I never used it last time. I’m wondering if the OP thought they would be getting the actual body scrub treatment?

We were on this ship last October and December. Both times there were about 2500 passengers. It is much more crowed this time, but it’s simply back to where it was before.

We took the Mexican riviera cruise last September. The only time the seas were a little rocky was the last seaday which is typical. No rain at all.

At this point this is not being allowed on board.

We brought this on board 3 times in the last 6 months in Long Beach.

We have brought this on board a few times no problem.

How do you attend this if your only in port for the day? .

 

We did PV food and tequila tour and it was one of the best days in Puerto Vallarta ever. 

The excursion starts at 3:30 and returns just before the ship leaves about 9pm. It is awesome!

We did this a couple of months ago and there were several pulmonias and taxis after the hike. It was a really fun adventure!

Thank you for the great review! Looking forward to your Alaska trip!

It looks like Carnival doesn’t have any cruises going to St. Lucia right now. Celebrity is going there next week which will be the first cruise to visit there since Covid.

So happy with our reassignment of our casino freebie deck 1 inside cabin on Freedom to deck 6 inside on Miracle. 😊

Yes you can only use once

I was able to book 2 cruise with this offer today 😊

Love the Sandbar in Cabo too! We went snorkeling in Cabo last month and the water was not too cold. Visibility was good too.

I stayed in a deck 12 spa balcony on Panorama last month and it is not covered either. Whether It’s hot depends on what time of year you go. It wasn’t hot at all in January. 

I received the same email last night cancelling my Tracy Arm Fjord & Glacier Explorer excursion. I got my room reassignment today and can now access my booking and the excursion is showing sold out! I hope I get the opportunity to rebook it! At least I did receive my same cabin on the Splendor so happy about that.

I was on this sailing also and had a great time! I feel like the staff did very with the more than doubling of passengers on this sailing.

It didn't seem that platinum priority boarding is fully back. They had the seperate check in lines which was nice, but I believe they were still boarding by zones. We had zone A0 so not sure what occurred after we boarded around 11:30. My room was not ready when we boarded either.

Can you copy what you received?  Maybe it's a California thing because Carnival isn't requiring wearing masks outdoors unless it's a crowded area or you are within three feet of someone who is not in your group.

"outdoors if in large gatherings and physical distancing cannot be maintained"

"

• Outdoors – Remain at least 3 feet from others when not wearing a mask and not in your cruise companion group.

Panorama out of California on New Year’s Eve. About half of the people were wearing masks. Obviously no social distancing happening!
