ToAdam12 Posted November 20, 2013 #101 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Haha my wife got all excited reading that. I had to break it to her that it was a joke. Back to plan A for her- me ordering her a burger with no pattie in Guys whilst she runs up to the fish and chips place to order the vegie fritters there. Instant vegie burger. That is a really great tip!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTravelista Posted November 20, 2013 #102 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Let's just say there will be plenty of discussion material here in a few days. Heard some tidbits while on the Sunshine this weekend. It is head scratching to say the least. And the point of saying this without expounding was?... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToAdam12 Posted November 20, 2013 #104 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I say let's go back to the wild speculations. I say monkey brains served on Indianan Jones night. Oh did I mention that every night will be themed to a differ move franchise. Other nights will include Back to the future, god father, Short Circuit/batteries not included, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 20, 2013 #108 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Jimbo, That doesn't sound good. Will the news be released this week? Heard the roll-out date is beginning of December.I don't know when it will be released, but soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted November 20, 2013 #109 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't know when it will be released, but soon. My butcher says it will be before the next leap year and for Carnival that is pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiagolfer Posted November 20, 2013 #111 Share Posted November 20, 2013 My guess is that these so called changes will take effect in December, but CCL will not announce until January or February. Also notice that I did not list the year, just the months.:rolleyes: Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted November 20, 2013 #112 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well I am on the Conquest for 3 weeks in December, wondering if anything will happen. Really loving that they are bring back live music! Hated the entertainment, or should I say, the lack of entertainment on the Breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, CCL does make it so easy to make comedians out of everyone because all this stuff is so dang true. You just can't make it up. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTravelista Posted November 20, 2013 #116 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) That there really are changes coming. I think its obvious that changes really are coming. Dangling information like that when its clear most people are VERY interested in what's going to happen just seems quite smug but hey. Whatever floats your boat.

Dangling information like that when its clear most people are VERY interested in what's going to happen just seems quite smug but hey. Whatever floats your boat. I did not dangle anything at all. I mentioned that I heard some interesting things regarding the future changes. I would hope people would be interested, as it is a major component of the cruising experience. The purpose of me mentioning it was that it is in fact coming and not just "rumors" (John Heald timing comments aside). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just excited that they are bringing some live music back...hoping the quality of that music is good. We had a guy (guitar player, no 'pool band' *sigh* ) on our 15 day hawaii cruise (9 sea days, so entertainment was vital and very lacking) and he sucked. Hoping for the best :) I would love to put carnival back on my cruise shopping list. I like variety Edited November 20, 2013 by halos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what we saw for the stockholder and naming event is a clue, than some changes are coming. Some forms def had a more rock (albeit classic and 80's) them and some country. There also seemed to be interaction with magicians (subbing in and going from one venue to another). I don't know if that is a one off or an inclination of something new. The entertainment seemed to have just gotten on for the cruise the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Hogs Posted November 20, 2013 #124 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not using linen tablecloths? :confused: Can CCL really stoop that low? I just don't believe that is what's going to happen. They'd have to replace every table...banquet tables aren't meant to be used without a cover on them. IF (and I won't believe it until it actually happens) that does come to be true, then I cannot wait to hear the cheerleaders make lemonade out of that. EDITED: Ok, someone did mention NEW tables, so if they do have new tables they could go without tablecloths ....so this is going to be like the buffet area then??? *sigh* Still going to hang on to hope that this isn't true, because if it is, with meatloaf, no linens...it's going to be more like a picnic area than a dining room. Oh scratch that....some people even bring linens to a picnic. Going to saw horses and 4 X 8 sheets of plywood !:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that is a one off or an inclination of something new. The entertainment seemed to have just gotten on for the cruise the next day. Thanks for the link. Not much info there but at least they seemed to liek the entertainment. I'll lay low and see how the reviews come in. I really enjoy a more formal (I don't mean tux formal, but linens formal) atmosphere in the mdr. I am not a buffet person...so I really wouldn't enjoy a very casual thing in the mdr. (I don't like too formal either....I think there is a 'just right' balance. It's the balance Carnival has always had) I am waiting to hear exactly what changes are happening there as well. I hope they are good changes. I will keep an open mind about the lack of linenes until I know exactly what they are replacing that with. I'm not food fussy. I get that they are serving thousands at a time, so I don't excpect perfection in food, but the atmosphere means a lot to me....we'll see what the changes are. Going to saw horses and 4 X 8 sheets of plywood ! The thing that scares me is that there are likely enough people that sail CCL that wouldn't mind a VERY casual dining room. Not as casual as that, but maybe too casual for me. Edited November 20, 2013 by halos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
