You could get FTTF (Faster to the Fun) for the non-suite room and they will also get priority boarding.  Boarding goes:  weddings, diamonds & suites, platinum, FTTF, zones.  You only need to purchase one FTTF for the room, not each individual.

Elon Musk's kid is going to have a helluva time.

Had to google that one — that poor child.

We sail in 30 days, and I don’t see a QR code. Where does one find this?

Not CD related, but I would like to see the midnight buffet brought back.

As John stated and others have pointed out, there is no point in FTTF if you can't enter until say noon.  The entire point is going in early.  Perhaps Long Beach is one that was told to change.  That I do not know.

I know that Galveston was mentioned for not following the priority boarding (including FTTF) and that would be rectified. I am sure that if someone makes him aware that Long Beach is not following along, they will be contacted. Carnival may not know.

Live music on Lido - miss the steel drums. Not everyone is young and enjoys club music

Maybe a dance contest

i miss the guest talent shows

Food tastings so you can experience different types of foods. Just a nibble so food doesn’t go to waste

Bidding to have dinner with the captain- proceeds go to St. Jude

It can be done, but Carnival may not know how to do it or if it something they cannot do for any number of reasons. I have used the same lock system for many years, 

Pilot boarding NCL at 2:50.  NCL first, then MSC.

Princess has this feature in their medallion app. You can track where people in your party are. They would, of course, need to have a phone with the app.

So, OP, did you ever get this matter resolved?  Please let us get back on topic.

Do a search on Amazon for “Venetian mask” and plenty of options come up.  You could get some good idea there.

I can tell you that the eggs on the buffet have no salt.  None.  Nada.  Made to order omelette safe the same.  They have plenty to choose from and I am sure he would find plenty to eat from the buffet.

Java Blue has plenty of options for coffee — you can also get the milkshakes spiked!

LOL really?

He’s not wrong.  If anything goes wrong and you have to leave your hotel early or cancel, it isn’t the hotel that issues the refund, it’s the third party company.  People don’t understand that.  They demand the hotel issue the refund and become upset when told to reach out to whomever they booked the hotel room through.

if you were referring to another part of his post, please ignore my response.

I had the same issue with my travel agent (now former travel agent).  We called another agency (same company) and they told us to keep going up the chain of command at the agency.  If the agency is nearby, I would stop in and speak face-to-face with someone and don’t leave until they accomplish what needs to be done.  If you still don’t get satisfaction, have them type up a release letter (must be in their letterhead) and take it with you.  Send that to Carnival and ask them to take over your booking.

There are 3 new platinum gifts.  One is the Fanny pack, the other is a tote bag, and the third is a toiletry bag.  When they run out of one, they move on to the next.

Ever been on either of the highways that take you to the airport when there is an accident?  Think bumper to bumper, and you move a mile a minute at best.  You can make it, if everything aligns and is in your favor.

Passenger staying on for the next sailing who was on previous sailing.

Ah, thanks!

Okay, having a senior moment, what is an in-transit passenger?

Hijacking here, so I will apologize first.  What about shampoo in the mini-suites?  Should I bring my own from home?  I am not very picky, but I refuse to use the shampoo/body gel combo on some cruise lines.

Currently coming home from 14 days in Alaska and we didn't see them.  And Alaska is just a wee bit north of Halifax.

Thanks!

Have you been able to see the Northern Lights?  Just curious as I am heading to Canada soon and am hoping to see them.

‘thanks in advance.

People are so rude. Once again I’m in line behind the people the hostess is helping a group of people walk around us to get to the side of the hostess and put their phone in her face. That’s two days in a row. And I know when this happens back home people say “rude Americans” I’m pretty sure this group is European.

 

Europeans are known for not waiting.  Even if there is a “Please wait to be seated” sign clearly posted, they will walk into a restaurant and take a seat.  Seen it happen many times.

Are you sure that was fog and not smoke from the fires from Canada?  I heard they were cancelling flights at La Guardia because the smoke was so thick.

How does one get in on this 90 minute deal?  Are you allowed to say?
