You may want to throw in guacamole as well.  That isn’t normally served — unless this has changed.

Guacamole is on the Blue Iguana menu.

Guess I will throw a couple bags in a reusable shopping bag so I can enjoy chips and guacamole.

I don't see chips on the menus I looked at. Do they have tortilla chips? Love me some chips and guacamole!

Hasn't been a problem for Celebrity or Disney.

I have NEVER heard a single complaint about smoking and Disney Casinos. 🙂

I ordered a 3pkg kit from Optum and did receive it in a timely manner.  
 

The expiration date is 12/5/21!!  We have cruises for October, November and January, so thank goodness I didn’t order the six pack!

I did order a 6 pack and my box said expiration date was extended to Feb 2022. Also not my business but we wrote you ordered a 3 pack kit but WE have three cruises. That is 6 tests.

stay on the ship and use the drink package.  But we live 20 minutes from the beach and have not gone to the beach in at least 5 years. Kinda helps having a nice pool in the backyard with its own tiki bar.

All passengers in a stateroom have to purchase the drinks package if one does unless things have changed again…

Booked on Harmony OTS for March 2022 and I have the drink package and wife has the refresh package. You do not both have to have the drink package and it has been this way for at least 5 years. My wife rarely drinks and since we are diamond members we can have drinks in the diamond lounge or we get 3 (maybe 4 now) drinks per night on a sea pass card. This is how we have booked beverage packages for quite awhile now.

I just noticed that the maximum per drink with Carnival's drink package is $20 and Royal's is $12.  Is there that much of a difference in the cost of drinks, or is Carnival just more generous?  (And, at least at this moment, Carnival's package is cheaper.)

Royal's max is $13 and that is going to cover nearly every drink on their menus. Also Royal does not have a limit on drinks and it includes fresh squeezed juices or at least it used to pre-covid. Royal also allows one person to get the drink package and the other a non-alcoholic package.

Thanks! Hoping for some sales. 50% off a couples massage is great if it happens. After decades of my wife trying to get me to get a massage I have finally agreed.

Been quite awhile since we cruised on Carnival. We are on the Mardi Gras leaving on the 25th and have little intention of getting off the ship. A perfect time for a spa treatment. Any idea if the spa offers discounts on port days?

Thanks!

We received a great casino offer for July, 100.00 pp extended balcony facing forward, with 1000.00 fun cash for the casino, will use it on a slot, while smoking and drinking. lol.  

Nice.  This is our return to Carnival (last ccl  cruise was 2008) and hope to spend some time in the casino. 

Gross. Diners standing up and waving their dirty napkins around. Once we witnessed an adult male get up on his table and dance and wave his napkin around.

So what is new here is that they are no longer going to try and set up testing at the port, right?  That was my take-away. 

I agree. I could get tested at Quest before this announcement. Nothing changed.

Anyone else get in on this amazing discount? Earlier today the next four sailings were $129 for interior - balcony. I got an 8J extended balcony cruise fare, taxes, tips, and insurance for $823. Checked tonight to see about possibly changing rooms and prices are returned to normal.

Here is what I had to do to get set up on drivewise and gather rewards. NOTE: I am NOT an Allstate policy holder.

Like others, i signed up on the web and the the website told me to download the mobile app. The mobile app got me nowhere. I called the drivewise support phone and the CSR and myself decided the best way to proceed was to delete the account information I used to create the account. Once this was done I closed out the mobile app, opened the app back up, and created a new account via the mobile app. It worked just fine. Hope this helps!

They sure are! It is just really hard to find the lounge.

No mention of masks, huh?

Might need some other form of protection.

Just got a message in from my TA. They're doing the test sailings with TAs only.

I wonder why they created a Facebook group, a website where they collected 350,000 people volunteering to cruise, then not select anyone.

Just now, Biker19 said:

I don't think they ever said what kind of volunteers they'll use.

Great point! Get your base relied up and then pick.....

Seems rather strange over a week has passed and I can't find nowhere any one was selects.

Safe travels

Been over a week and cannot find anywhere, anyone who was selected. 

Last week RCCL said they were choosing volunteers.

I think they lie!

Why wait ? You can call RCI and have it applied to an already made booking or a new one...I had no problem doing this...easy !!

Seems easy enough. Been through the cancellation washing machine. March 2020, May 2020, March 2021, Jul 2021, and now waiting for RCCL to figure out this FUBAR and pay off  the March 2022 cruise.  Ironically I have completed check-in for the July 25th cruise even though it is cancelled.

We were booked for Allure OTS July 25th. Obviously cancelled as Allure is now scheduled for a test cruise 27-29 July. This booking disappeared from my account after it was cancelled. Yesterday it showed up again under the same reservation number, cruise start date, and cabin. The difference is the name is now two day non-revenue test cruise and is from 25-27 July. Talked with three RCCl departments and had my TA contact them. Everyone says that reservation is cancelled.

Today I logged into our account again and the Check-in button is enabled so I clicked it and completed check-in and actually have a set sail pass.

The real crappy part is if it does start on the 25th we cannot go due to a non-changeable appointment.

So RCCl glitch or we were selected as test cruisers but not yet notified. Hmmmmmmm.

I still don't know how to enter promo codes via the app but I can loginto the allstate rewards website and enter them there. Hope this helps!
