Gross! Just what I would want, moldy strawberries! :eek::eek:

But dont complain we should be happy to get them:eek:

Including coming 1/2hour late to dinner?

Some people have no manners and think it is all about them.

Ahhhh, the "I'm on vacation so..." excuse for bad behaviour. It apparently covers just about everything.:rolleyes:

So true

most likely the waitstaff will wait for you to show up before taking the orders for the rest of the table. As a result your tablemates might have to sit and wait say 20 minutes before they get their order taken.

I think it is common courtesy to let the waiter or tablemates know.

Just curious as to when they are delivered?

formal night

The popcorn tastes like a paper bag. HAL has a machine just like the good old days and it was great!

CCL popcorn is rather tasteless. Wonder why they dont add anything to make it taste better.

Can't see CCL sending Vista's sister ship to Australia. Perhaps a Conquest class ship, maybe :)

If they can make more money on a new ship in Australia than US it will be gone in a heartbeat.

The last plate we got were puny and pathetic.

They have been getting smaller and smaller, not exactly something to get excited about they are rather puny.

I would see the MD the night before tell him your request and ask him to put it together for you.

Carnival's sales are typically anything but. Only thing they will offer occasionally is reduced deposit.

13 days before sailing, I believe he will lose ALL of the money if he cancels. They won't let you transfer the sailing to a new date. Depending on how he booked, he may not even be able to change names of a passenger. Do you know if he booked early saver, past guest or some other rate?

 

He could go on the trip solo and just have her be a "no-show" at the pier...otherwise, even if just cancels her, he would possibly be charged a "solo" supplement. He would get her port charges and taxes back if she is a no show....

 

Not many options at this point.

Agreed best bet is to have her be a no show

I was lucky with both of mine - they were assigned to me and made first contact with me. You can get a personal referral from fellow cruisers (try asking a friend on your next cruise). Or, you can simply call Carnival's 1 800 number and ask to have one assigned to you. Give them a 'test drive' period. If you don't like them, call and ask to be assigned to someone else.

 

You're correct, we cannot give names or contact info of our PVPs here, but if you have contact info for any of your Carnival cruising buddies, ask them if they like their PVP and for the contact info if they do.

 

And when you do get a PVP, if he/she isn't doing things the way you would like, let him know what your preferences are. Some of them need to be trained a little.;) Good luck!:)

 

ETA: Looking at your extensive Carnival cruise history, I'm surprised you were never assigned one. Looks like someone at Carnival dropped the ball and has missed out on grabbing you up. ;)

We had a decent one and he left suddenly and didnt care for the one assigned to us.

Asked a cruising friend for recommendation and have used the same one for last 10 or so cruises. She waits for me to call her and knows when I call she gets a booking.

I think I could live on their chocolate chip ones!!

They are super especially if you somehow get one fresh from the oven.

We were in the steakhouse one evening and when they asked about dessert we confess we were going to go downstairs to the MDR for an alternative dessert. They insisted on serving it to us in the steakhouse. We were very grateful for their kindness.

Love the steakhouse but not thrilled with their desserts. Never thought to ask for this.

They have too many people to serve these days so service is not what it used to be

The main lounge.

You might ask JH on his fb page who the comedians will be a couple of weeks before your cruise

Thanks, I forgot to mention the ease of processing price drops - it has definitely been easy for me with my PVP. One phone call to her, and it was taken care of.:)

Same with us. And she knows not to call me unless something important with our booking. She knows I will call when ready to book so it also makes it easy for her.

Nice deal, hoping we will get a call on our upcoming cruise:)

Been quite awhile since he posted on his blog, best to just look him up on fb.

Nice deal from the upsell fairy

Enjoy your cruise.

With DC expected to get up to 2' of snow, they will be building snowmen on the Lido of the Pride. If she even makes it back to port on Sunday.:eek::eek:

She will get back but unless they delay the cruise for a day or two think she will sail pretty much empty.

I think our daughter will enjoy it

If she is about 10 and gets picked she probably will.

Cannot imagine why they think this is a good idea for evening entertainment in main lounge for a mostly adult crowd.:(:(
