I thought the problem with plastics is they never fully degrade. The plastic becomes the size of a molecule and hangs around inside our bodies.

 

In any case, complaining about Carnival not keeping up with Royal, in this instance, is grasping at straws. 🤪

Don't eat the straws.  Problem solved.

If straws are an issue to you then wouldn't the solution be just do not use a straw?

Trying to figure out why people carry on all of their luggage... Personally, I carry on a backpack with meds/passports/paperwork/ etc.. 

 

But I am trying to figure out why people want to tote all that luggage around for a few hours.

It's so easy to just give your luggage to the porter and then have it delivered right to your cabin. 

 

Maybe I'm missing something 

When I have done this I had faster to the fun.   It was nice.  Because we got on were able to go straight to our room unpack and then go eat.  I don't think I would do it otherwise.  But it was nice in that situation

Perhaps Carnival will start merging cruise lines - Princess and Carnival perhaps?

Why would you think that?

Thanks everyone. I'll just see if I can switch to another room, that is in same class that is on the other side of the ship.  I think they will accommodate me for the chunk of change I spent.

What was actually different about the room you booked  you didn't like?

Fuel Surcharges should be against the law.

As above....18 is not an issue as long as you are willing to be his guardian.  The issue will be he does not own the reservation and the financially responsible person will not be a guest.  I think only Carnival can answer this question.

It also matters how far away the cabins are from each other

Thanks

So my wife as decided not to go on the cruise we have coming up this weekend.  She just decided she isn't up for it with the mask and all.  I think I am still going to go without her.    Do I need to let anyone know she is not going to go?

Wo how does this test work? 

So I got this letter this morning.  What I don't understand is why Unvaccinated people can do test three days out but vaccinated can only do two days out on the test

We just booked a Christmas cruise.  Do you normally buy the cruise insurance?  We have never bought it before but my husband insisted this time with covid.  So I get the bullet and bought it just on case.  We've both been vaccinated so praying we don't end up sick.  Have you cruised since they've started back up?  Did you feel safe?  Did you choose to wear a mask on the boat or is it now required?

With Covid yes.  Also make sure to get some medical insurance with all this going on.

I think we need to go back to arguing about popcorn pricing now.

Honestly what I am expecting them to go to soon is no unvaccintated  guest at all.   Seems it is all about risk right now.

At 50% capacity they could not survive. They would lose less money just shutting the3 ships down. They could survive if they increased the fares by 150% - 200%.  Then they would still fail because they couldn't get 50% capacity at that price.

 

You assume people would pay 150%-200%  fares.   They wouldn't.  They are have low cost  currently because people  currently will not book at  higher prices

I get what they are trying to do I really do.  But honestly I never will understand the put a mask on while entering a restraunt so you can take it right off the whole time you are there.      I am staying on lido anyways.  I will likely just get food food for breakfast and lunch and eat on my balcony in peace anyways.

I am predicting a lot of cancellations and really low capacity on ships with all these new restrictions.

it appears carnival is the only cruise line that is not informing their passengers about positive cases. if I was on a cruise ship I would want to know so that I could be tested when I got home and make necessary precautions.  My mother while vaccinated has underlying conditions that if I knew I was possibly exposed would not want to be around her.

One I am sorry to here you went through this.  But why would you want to know to get tested when you get home.  Do you not realize every time you go into a store with a pharmacy you are getting exposed to CVOID.    My wife works at an in store pharmacy I can tell you for a fact people with COVID are going shopping around the story  and then going up and picking up the medication the doctors sent in for them.   This is were the real problem is from.  

The Airplane mode is really important on the ship too.  If you forget to do that you are going to end up with a monster cell phone bill.

Given that San Juan is an American Territory I am kind of supprised they can do this.

huh?

He is pointing out the cost is 2k plus an 18% gruiduity

Are there things on board you can not spend OBC on?   I have never had this much before.

You won't see that for Mardi Gras or Horizon. Panorama seems to be among the cheaper 7 day cruises pretty consistently. But it's an hour away from a major airport , you only have 1 itinerary, and it can get pretty chilly on sea days depending on the time of year.

 

The hour form an airport isn't a factor.  See Galveston.  But the rest is.  Plus I don't think people from out coast really want to fly out to California for a cruise.

Has a 5 day cruise menu been posted any were yet?  Breeze if you have it.

Perfect thanks

You can come as you are. Shorts are allowed.  We usually go cruise casual, but there really isn't a dress code except for a no bathing suits kind of thing.

Is that on formal nights too?
