I took the Pepsi challenge about 45 years ago and picked Coke 🤣

It is nice to get a peekaboo peek if you can. The best rooms for this are 4114, 4115, 4122, 4123, 4132, 4133, 4140, 4141, 4148, and 4149.

Now is not the time for a sell out 🤣 I am waiting for my new Southwest credit card and I have a cruise to pay for by the 25th.

Is it just me or are the log in points not showing up a fair amount of time for AARP? I got a ten dollar Sonic gift card for 16000 points. You have to be there at just the right time, as they are gone within minutes. Just checked and the 500 cards are there for me.

You are preaching to the choir. I hope they keep them for many more years.

I found a youtube video of the Firenze. My first impression is that it is a bit more elegant imho than your typical Carnival ship. I have a couple of 5 days booked next November for a really good deal.

Great pics! In the top pic I can see my future bowling alley balconies being born towards the back of the ship !

The Spirit was in gestation 😉

According to Wikipedia the Atlantica was built in 2000, making it the first Spirit class ship. Spirit came out in 2001.

Yes, I got 4 for each 2024 booking so 24 emails total for 6 cruises.

You are correct, that is exactly how it reads! Probably supposed to be 12/31/2024 because I received no emails for 2025 cruises.

I didn't see I promise! 😉 Turns out I got 4 emails per cruise for 2024 totaling 24 emails.

Carnival is enthusiastic about the extension of their 30 percent off sale and sent me 25 emails to let me know 😉 Edit: didn't see the other thread and now I am being enthusiastic like Carnival in duplicating!

Same here. I pay for entire cruises with the AARP cards. When an Alaska cruise costs 5k that 500 dollar savings isn't chicken feed! I go in with the understanding that if the cruise is cancelled, as happened during covid, all I am getting back is gift card refund and that is fine. Carnival has always made me whole with gift card refunds, much faster now than during covid fun times of course. And on top of the 10 percent I get another 3 percent for using my BofA cash rewards visa for a total of 13 percent off.

We've come a long way from Carnival's guaranteed good time where they would fly you home at first port stop at their cost to now having to jump off and swim back 🤣. I imagine the corporate lawyers gave birth to a cow when they heard about this!

Carnival said "you can resign and keep your accrued benefits" or "you can just jump of the back of the ship!"

And why are they asking questions that don't need to be answered like income level? When the time comes I will only upload redacted info and be deleting the app after I am done.

Actually they should buy chips directly with cash to avoid the 3 percent fee for charging chips to room account. There is no fee to use sail and sign cards at the slots though.

No problemo! The only credit I know that doesn't get split is the shareholder benefit OBC.

With separate sail and sign accounts Carnival will split the obc in two so you each get half.

The Spirit class does galleys the best imho. Down on deck 1 in the back, keeping a very nice ship traffic flow.

Galley! You have to go up or down a level to cross.

Not sure but the last ones I saw on the Spirit class have been removed with the library to become the Wherehouse arcade about 3-4 years ago.

Were you my neighbor? I took almost the same shot from room 6234 at 5:49 pm! I actually asked him if he was on the Panorama last Nov and he told me it was Marty who was from his hometown also and sounded similar!

I had him on the Miracle also Nov 2nd and he was a good guy. Normally I don't even really care one way or another but you are right. He is down to earth and doesn't do silly things with his announcements. I asked him if he would be there for my January Miracle trip to Hawaii but he said he was moving to the Celebration.
