Not letting Carnival dock would just hurt people that had nothing to do with it as would large fines.  You want to make sure this doesn't happen again then put the CEO and other excecs in Jail.  That a message to every company in the country

This.  I really like having the same wait staff and table mates each night.  (And not having to wait to be sat.). But if we are doing a port intensive cruise (like our next one to Alaska), I choose anytime dining so that if we get in late from excursions we still have the option to eat in the dining room.

You know with anytime dining all you have to do is request the same wait staff and they will give you the same wait staff each night.

I prefer any time because I like to be able to eat when I want.  Which is usually early.   One thing about Anytime dinning most people don't know is you can request the same waiter every night that way you still get a team that gets use to what you like.

When we went we just grabed a chair.  How ever I think the covered chairs you have to pay for.

Those dogs that check bags getting off the ship in Cozumel are trained agricultural dogs. They’re not detecting drugs.

They are good at it too. Watched them sniff bannanas out of peoples bags left and right last cruise

I find it so strange that marijuana is prohibited. I take several prescribed medications and took them onboard by last cruise. Nobody even looked twice at what they were, they could’ve been all sorts of hard drugs and people do take two of these medications I take as a ‘party drug’ (though at a much higher dose than I take) so it just baffles me that something (even with a prescription?) is not allowed. 

 

Not that i’m really complaining. I dislike the stuff and it smells foul so the further away from me, the better (and it’s very illegal in my country) I just think it’s odd. 

Why do you find it strange.  You are in violation of Federal law if you have it.

Because contrary to the lofty judgement of the pearl clutchers and other assorted fusspots what the guy did wasn't "gross stupidity."  It was foolish but he didn't die, no one else was hurt and the media report quoted above said he'd jumped from similar heights before.  

 

Stupid was posting the video on the internet. That's what got him and his friends thrown off the boat not the jump itself. 

 So it wasn't stupid because he didn't die?

I don't think calling him a idiot or a moron is fair to idoit's and moron's.  This guy is on a whole new level.    

Remember why you were a kid and you did something because a friend did it and your mom would say "If  ---- jumped of a bridge would you?"  Well it is clear would this guys answer was.

The free bottle of wine is not very good.  They also give you a choice of 50% a bottle of your choice.  I would advise doing that.

They are going to loss.

I mean I know it is scarry our first cruise had an event like that happen and it is scary as you can get.   But they are still going to loss.

Had a great cruise and fell in love with it even with that happening

Wow this has to be a record for bring back a dead thread.

is it worth it? We love a good steak. This is our first 7 day cruise

We really enjoyed it.  We did it first night of our cruise at like 5:30 we were like the only ones in the Steakhouse that early and we were celebrating our 20th Aniviersry.  They made us feel really special

Thanks guys I didn't look that far down

So Travel Insurance.    Recommendations who to choice who to stay away from?  

I found my 6K after all I am so happy.

Once we get past everything.   $4 buck for a peanut butter and  jelly sandwitch is insane.

I sailed in a 6k with myhubs and 2kids. It was tight to say the least and my kids were 2 and 6.with adults I’d book two rooms. There are two conecting scenic OV rooms. Maybe you’d like to try those.

Thanks.  I think we will get the 6K for us and put the kids in an inside.  I don't expect them to use the room much

Believe me on the JH bloggers cruise there will be additional staff and other extras to appease all the cheerleaders of JH and there won't be any shortages etc of anything.   Any cruise he is on as extra perks for his fans.  The red carpet will be out.  It's a sad situation that was once a very good cruiseline has turned into  somewhat of a disaster.  We were sad to leave but found two other cruiselines that offer the same amenities at a much lesser price plus a clientele that is much different.

In fairness from my looking I can never find anything cheaper on another line.  Then again I only look at two ports Galveston and New Orleans   But Carnival is still cheaper every time I look.

I could make that judgement.  Or I could do the wise thing and see what others experience was like.   The kids are going to be 21 and 15 at the time of sailing.   It is a conquest class ship.

I get were you are coming from and when I booked my self found it easy enough. I am talking to a travel agent and you would think the agent would be able to get me  quotes right a way.  But that doesn't seem to be the case so I am questioning if the agent even wants my business.

Here is my problem with it Carnival sold a lot of cruises advertising the free room service.  All of those people are not getting what they were promised as part of there cruise fair.   It really is that simple.   Even after they announced it the web site showed free room service yesterday.  They took that down sometime between yesterday and today.

Now once you get past that are they going to be giving a better quality room service now that they are charging per item?   Because I know I expect more if I am paying for something than if I am not.   

Has anyone stayed in this cabin with 4 people?   If so how did it go.  I have done this cabin with two people and it has a lot of room.   Just wondering if I want to do me and my wife in this cabin and my kids in a separate cabin our if all 4 of us will work in that cabin.  Would dream of doing all 4 of is in a normal cabin

So I am about to book a cruise I have decided to try a Travel Agent this time.   What should I expect from a Travel agent?   Like how much time is fair to give them to get back with me on a price quote?   If I am not booking myself what type of service should I expect from them?

Belize checks off your snorkeling and historic things to see.  Lots of Myan ruins.  

We were able to get the price match in Belize.
