    Slightly off topic but I always book all of our cruises. When I check for cruises, my husband (who has about then less sailing days then me) always has better offers. Booked a cruise last week and his offer was $200 cheaper and offered $500 OBC while mine had $50.  Looking to book a girls cruise and checked prices under my friend's VIFP (she is new to cruising and still red) and she also had the $500 OBC. Its annoying to me to have to check everyone else's deals when booking. 

     

    We're the opposite, my wife gets better offers and I spend more in the casino 🤪

    That looks like a Casino offer?

     

    Do you spend much time in the casino?

     

    I do, but my wife doesn't and she's the one that usually gets the best offers.

     

    I still don't understand how the casino offers work. She spends maybe $100 or so each cruise and she gets the free rooms and nice perks. I sometimes spend thousands and I might get 1 free drink.

    I doubt the PVP has the pull to have offers sent your way. Probably just their offers skew towards those that don't have any cruises booked, haven't cruised in a while, etc., to get them back onboard.

     

    You never know though. Carnival's offer roulette is a strange mistress. 

     

    That makes sense. First time in almost 20 years we do not have a Carnival cruise planned.

  4. i guess you just have to do the math. I bought 100 shares at around $9 a share 3 years ago. That's $900 and in that time, I've taken more than 9 cruises. So, I've already made my money back, plus I still have my original 100 shares. So, if carnival goes bk tomorrow, it wouldn't matter to me.

    Anything else great other than the lobster roll?  I'm definitely gonna try that.

    After all these years of cruising, I always forget Seafood Shack while onboard.  We were just talking about it at dinner the other day, wondering if it's worth it.

     

    We usually get the clam strips and calamari in addition to the clam chowder.

     

    It's pretty good and not that expensive compared to other dining options.

  6. Interesting responses. I've made lots of money in the market and I've lost lots of money. The market paid for my house and a few of my toys including my Corvette.

     

    Sometimes, it's more lucky that being good.

  7. The first Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the 3rd or 4th day of the cruise; the second Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the 4th or 5th day prior to the end of the cruise, schedules permitting. 3-5 Day cruise: one Cruise Elegant evening. 6 Day or longer cruise: two Cruise Elegant evenings.
