Carnival's big announcement

[cruzeluver]

Changing Carnival's brand of toilet paper? Who knows? These "big announcements" have become quite tiresome and never amount to much.

This one will be different. Something that is discussed on these boards MANY times

Spin the wheel. What hasn't been discussed here ad nauseum?

So it has to do with smoking, removing tips, bringing kids to the Steakhouse, cutting in line, chair hogging, changing menus, booking an early flight, boring entertainment, smuggling alcohol, or inconsiderate neighbors?

People have actually switched cruise lines because of this problem/situation/happening/theory/concept/idea

You forgot jeans, flip flops and shorts in the dining room. And passport vs birth cert.

Just wish they'd stop making these announcements in the winter. Running naked down 5th Avenue can be chilly! :p

That one was rather a dud of an announcement

[S.S.Oceanlover]

Generally their major announcements have not been what most of us think of as major.

 

You can speak for me too Stu. My reaction is usually a big YAWN!

I cannot imagine what Carnival is going to do with a New York announcement, why come to New York to talk entertainment?

When I think "entertainment" and "New York", Broadway comes to mind... but I don't think it will be anything that exciting. Probably some announcement for New York sailings or some such.

Yup I was thinking Broadway evening shows too....would be great!!

The announcement is that they are eliminating FTTF and going back to the old way of allowing everyone to drop their bags off in the cabin before lunch.

[Terre]

They are upgrading the entertainment.

We can only hope.

I think whatever it is it might be interesting. They're flying the brand ambassador in for it and he's hyping it on FB. All he said about the Seuss announcement was that there was a cool thing for families in the works and it would be announced on the Splendor. People's brains automatically went to Kids Sail Free and were disappointed when the world's most affordable line didn't give them an additional discount for their progeny.

[ibcnusoon]

I can't imagine the announcement is anything exciting, us New Yorkers are already upset that Carnival pulled out of our market and no longer sailing from here, Baltimore, Boston and Norfolk.

 

So why would the brand ambassador and his beards come to New York and make an "exciting" announcement, about what, why don't they go to Miami and make an announcement.

 

If this has anything to do about entertainment, it's a joke that it's being done in New York, while you pull your ship from the market.

I hope it will truly be something that will make our cruises better and not a change that is really just another cutback.

Carnival Cruise Lines is returning to Norfolk next year, Gov. Terry McAuliffe told the General Assembly on Monday night.

They will be announcing that there will be a brilliant announcement coming in April, or May, or August.......

[FlipFlopCruiser]

If anyone remembers correctly, Carnival announced the "FunShip 2.0" upgrades in New York several years ago. Maybe they will be building upon the 2.0?

 

Kind of ironic, since we still don't have a ship in NY with 2.0 upgrades.

There was talk of a Splendor dry dock including 2.0 over a year ago, and then it was postponed until ...........never? Still nothing.

Wow think that you nailed it

[Earthworm Jim]

Hard to believe they would put more ships there when they are having problems filling what they have. Prices on the cruises out of NY are dirt cheap.

 

In the winter, yeah. In the summer though they are super expensive. For example July 2014 8 day sailings on the Splendor are starting at $869 to $999, depending on the week, for an inside cabin. That's certainly isn't cheap.

 

Even in the winter, school break weeks are fairly expensive too.

Didn't they hail their new loyalty program when it came out as a fantabulous announcement? Don't recall many liking that one.
