Just an FYI on cost: My daughter got an ear infection last week on board and the base charge was $125. With medications and out the door the total charge came to $156. I didn't think that was too bad.

Horizon disembarkation the worst ever!
fuddrules replied to tallyho8's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I've had a few rough ones but we just debarked the Carnival Miracle in Long Beach on 1/6 and it couldn't have been faster. I never came to a complete stop at all during debarkation. They would "ding" people off the ship almost in stride. I guess technically I stopped to scan my face at customs, didn't even have to get my passport out. That took, maybe, 15 seconds, otherwise it went as quick as you could walk. Perfect coordination all the way around. -
On the Miracle now. When cruising in the open Pacific, often deck 10 and above are closed. Too windy per the signs. The only outdoor available space seems to be on Lido deck. The ship has a little rock to it but nothing that has bothered our group. General comment. I'm just realizing how hard it is to get in a bunch of steps on these smaller ships. My step counter just doesn't go up much like on the bigger ships. This may be a positive for many.

On the Miracle now....small size, all cake, no melting goo. Disappointing for me but others may like it. The other desserts are as good as always.

Same with us. Must be that if you book the cruise on the US based website and the cruise is booked in dollars, they work. I've never had a problem in the past.

What does Carnival do to background check workers in Camp Ocean?
fuddrules replied to Eli_6's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
A lot. My daughter worked in Camp Ocean this summer. I can't recall every detail but she had to do a ton of leg work to get all of the documents and fingerprint to Carnival. -
I've used them in the past via carnival.com and it worked. Offer expires 8/15/2023. Offer valid one time only. Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on Carnival Corporation sister lines. Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later). Payment must be made on or before offer expiration date.

I noticed today (not sure how long they've been there) a Chase offer on my Ink Biz Card. Earn 15% back on your Carnival Cruise purchase, with a $129.00 back maximum. There is a link to book a new cruise but it didn't specify new cruise only. Good deal it appears.

Thanks for all of the replies. I got wrapped up traveling and didn't get a chance to respond sooner. We are on the wait list for the Your Time dining. Assuming that doesn't work out we will let the Maitre D know our plans.
-
How often does this happen and is it ok? We just booked Mardi Gras for June and the only available dining is late😴. We've never done set dining and I don't know anything about it. We've always had YTD and always eat early. It's looking like buffet for us. Can you show up for just dessert occasionally, eat and leave? We may have to have 1(or more) WCMC. Note: We just booked because our daughter is working on the ship this summer and she just found out her ship assignment Friday afternoon so.....we've been waiting to book, just didn't know on what ship.
-
They should load this up on the biggest barges they can find and ship it down to South American, just in international waters, and dump it.
-
Not worth it. Just buy pre-board via the funshop.

Once in a lifetime - at least for you.

Carnival Pride Review Cruise 2/26/23
fuddrules replied to daveflorida97's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Good thing you didn't bring a microscope on board and take a look. -
Thanks - but unfortunately I had no intentions of ever cancelling either. My wife on the other hand.....sometimes I think I should just look for a cruise wife to go along with me when the land wife has alternative plans.
-
I know this has been discussed a bunch but I've never paid close attention 😳 given I've never cancelled. We have an early saver cruise booked March 24. We are going to cancel and incur, I believe, a $250 cancellation fee. We have paid $1,250 to date. We now have a cruise booked for Dec. of 23. Can I just roll the remaining leftover funds into that Dec. 23 cruise as a form of payment?

A very big fluffy bun. -
Carnival Cruiser tries Princess - Comparisons
fuddrules replied to ScottsSweetie's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Just be aware that Carnival is generally far from elegant. It attracts quite a few people that aren't elegant (like me for instance). I don't prefer elegant and I certainly don't want to pay for it. I go along with the dog and pony show and wear a button down shirt and tie on Carnival's fufu nights, but that's as far as I go. It's simply not me and I don't like to pretend. I prefer what I consider comfort. Khaki shorts and a t-shirt or really get crazy with a collared pull over. Having an occasional drink, some comedy, eating a good burger, getting some sun, hot tubs, exploring new cities anywhere in the world, etc... That's it, that's all I'm looking for - no fluff no fufu. I seem to fit in with most of the Carnival crowd - but I've never been on their short booze cruises and have no desire to go. -
This is what the uneducated believe.

Changes to Room Service and Dr. Seuss Breakfast Returning
fuddrules replied to Lee Cruiser's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Ultimately? Do it now. -
Yes, European pricing.
-
Just being honest here but missing a few late night meals and doing a little more walking wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for many frequent cruisers.
