**If I ran Carnival Cruise Lines, I would...**

[crusinpsychRN]

I heartily agree with ditching the orange color on the sofas!

 

Vary itineraries more, get some new ports and use private ilsand a lot.

[MMCS Cruiser]

Ban smoking inside the ship.

[tbjl24]

Allow alcohol in the pools/whirlpools. They drain em everynight anyway!?!?!?

 

Offer another itinerary for the Legend out of Tampa. Enough of Belize, Roatan, Cozumel, Grand Cayman week after week already. Can't we throw in Key West, Half Moon Cay, Jamaica????

 

Oh, and no smoking in the piano bar. I never go in there cause I can't take the haze.

[Seydlitz]

I also will agree that the room and sofa colour has to go. I like the colours that the new MSC ships have. I would also build a new class base on the Spirt class. The prominade would wrap all the way around like the Dream. Bigger pools, more hot tubes and a bigger atrium.

Preach it! I love that place but never get to spend any time in there because my wife is very sensitive to smoke and that place is one of the worst on the ship for smoke in our experience.

I would stop printing all the pictures taken and bring them up on computer so that people can pick and choose. This would keep the prices down because you wouldn't have to throw away so many that nobody will pay the 22 for.

Ditto..... imagine the money saved just by doing away with their current system!

[GlendaleCruiser]

More choices in Mediterranean cruises and cruises to and from Hawaii.

[Perfect Stranger]

Vary the itineraries

No smoking inside

Change the menus more often

Offer flavored cream for coffee

Lower drink prices

Free soda

Bring back the fruit punch

Lower excursion prices

Replace Legends show with another entertainer(s)

Bring back free cocktails for the captain's party

Employ BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS

[mouche]

I would offer free select drinks in the Casino, people would spend more money for sure:D And I would find a way to have bigger pools.

[amethyst08]

Bring back Formal Night and make it black tie optional. ;)

[davenew]

Let's have some fun with this one...Here we go...

 

I would have more live bands on board!:)

 

I would fire CD Wee Jimmy and throw him overboard :D

[Minoushka]

NO I thought he was GREAT fun on Victory Loved those kilts

[dotshub]

Offer a southern carib cruise from Florida. Yes it would have to be 9 or 10 days.

 

Vary the itinerary from the Tampa port. Key West, Jamaica, Bahamas, etc.

 

Drop the price of beer a little.:D

[howard6933]

I would make sure that at least one dining room was open for lunch on ALL days, even when the ship was in port. :rolleyes:

I like that idea. And how about letting you order them online up to 30 days after the cruise. I ended up not buying any on our last cruise because my boyfriend talked me out of it, but if I'd been able to look at them again after coming home I probably would have purchased a few.

[mebecindi]

I agree with the alcohol prices. They could drop the beer to 3.00 each and drop the prices on drinks. I know they have to make a profit....but DAMN, 3.00 a beer would still be a big profit....

[MzOhioLady]

1. Enforce the "Adults Only" Areas!!

2. Offer Select Sailings that are "Adults Only" Cruises

3. Make Bigger Pools

4. Build a Lazy River Pool and put it on at least 3 new ships

They do! Miracle is doing So Carib out of Port Everglades...8 nights Aruba, Curacao, Isla Catalina and Grand Turk. :)

 

I would keep the pools open later at night.

[BC Todd]

This thread is great! Keep them coming everyone. Here is another...

 

Make formal nights black tie mandatory. No tux, no entry.:D

[HoustonTodd]

Agree, I love Wee Jimmy, think he's one of the VERY best there are!

[BC Todd]

Is there enough room on this thread for two Todds? LOL...J/K:D

[satbeachbill]

Bring back the "Wow me Factor". No matter how many cruises I take, wow me each time, just like the first time!

Knock my socks off with terrific menus, outstanding quality of food at EVERY meal, where ever it's served on the ship.

Wow me with EVERY show, EVERY comedian, EVERY individual I come into contact with that works for Carnival.

I'd put into place a better system to insure that the employees "Wow" every cruiser.

And yes, I would address the cost if drinks and shore excursions, and the approach uses by Carnival to direct you on their "recommended stores".

I would assign a team to review websites such as these to get a feel of what the cruiser likes and dislikes.

I would PAY ATTENTION when people constantly express their displeasure about some CD's that are irritating, and make corrections.

I would institute a better reward system for outstanding employees, rather than handing the employee of the month piece of paper. Give him a fat check in front of the whole audience, give him a gold vest to wear that month.

Do away with automatic gratuities. In my opinion, (as the CEO of Carnival) employees used to try alittle harder to be personable with the other system. Not that the other system was without falt, just find another way to do it, without passengers being able to stiff the employees.

 

Hey, we love cruising, 25 to date mostly on Carnival. Just WOW me every time!!:D:D:D
