JKrise Posted September 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Some facebook posts are stating that passengers who purchased the Havana rooms are upset that they paid a premium for the rooms and now other passengers can purchase a single day pass. My question is...does anyone know how much the Havana Lounge day passes are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree.critter Posted September 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Wrong info, I'm betting that the day passes they purchased were to the Cloud 9 Spa which can be purchased for a single day or entire cruise. They do not sell them for the Havana area.....don't give them any ideas though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKrise Posted September 3, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Wouldn't put it past CCL. DW and I are on Horizon for a B2B over Thanksgiving. Would normally expect the Thanksgiving cruise to be nearly fully booked by now. However, a quick look the available cabins for both legs revealed a higher than expected vacancy rate. That coupled with the average to lower than average reviews of their newest ship sets an under achieving revenue generation forward looking tone. (Not to mention the reduced benefits for booking a cloud 9 cabin). Thus, alternatives or course corrections for generating revenue would normally be considered in this situation, specially when H&R staff as well as ships Sr. Staff are evaluated on achieving revenue goals and a portion of their compensation directly tied to achieving the goals.

sb4ever Posted September 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I was on Horizon two weeks ago and this is completely untrue. The staff was excellent about maintaining the area for Havana cabin passengers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYcruzzer Posted September 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'm on Horizon now. Absolutely false info. No day passes. Carnival doing a great job turning those away who don't have daytime access. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted September 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2018 In the future in some newer buildings, i wont be surprised to see Carnival attempt to sell day passes to exclusive areas for a cost NCL has this with the vibe/posh Princess has the sanctuary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAAmerican Posted September 4, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Dear NYcruzzer, Yes Carnival CCL :NYSE LSE does a wonderful job of making Havana well. If only they enforced the Towell Chair Hogs for those which like to lay down.. near those small salty pools. I think just Princess uses Fresh Water now. We will be aboard when you come back on her, Horizon. WX here is very warm and humid for Wednesday acoming. Hope all went well for youall ! I'm on Horizon now. Absolutely false info. No day passes. Carnival doing a great job turning those away who don't have daytime access. Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted September 5, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 5, 2018 While no day passes are sold, purportedly Horizon wrist bands are being sold on eBay. But guessing you'll have to buy all colors and then sneak a peak at which one is being used on your cruise in order to get by the security. Better use it early before security starts remembering people on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjer Posted September 5, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Also better not buy a drink because your room number won't be in the Havana and the towels don't match the other ones either. If you want to swim in the Havana pool its open to everyone (over 12) after 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One four letter word: FTTF. I do not believe that is a word.... I think they have stretched the boundary as much as they can with adding additional rooms on the Horizon. They may re-designate rooms on Vista, but I doubt even that. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted September 5, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 5, 2018 There is already about a $400.00 pp premium on these rooms. I do not believe they will lower that value by selling it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
