How do they catch flying fish? Do they use a big butterfly net, or maybe shoot them with bird shot like duck hunting? Come here fish!

Old Fart Cruisers Posted September 20, 2023 #834 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Did anyone notice that the countdown timer in your Carnival online planner counts down to 8:00 PM, even though we depart at 4:00PM? My online timer shows 4 hours later than the Hub app, which works out to the correct time. It looks they use the 8:00 local time for all my cruises and adjust it for time zones, weather it's from the East coast, Galveston, West coast or London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorkellinGal Posted September 22, 2023 #841 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Hi All: My sister and I will be joining you all on board. It’s my sister’s first cruise and I’ll be getting my platinum status with this trip, so more than a few trips under my belt. 🛳️ ☀️ 🏝️ looking forward to connecting with everyone. Does anyone know whether they have reintroduced the Meet and Greet (or whatever it was called pre-Covid)? I used to enjoy connecting with everyone on the roll call and a chance to connect with the crew. John: I haven’t tried Menu Mate before - I sailed in February and I’ve never seen or encountered it before. We just always relied on the Hub app to peruse the menus. also, I’m super happy that your doc gave you the green light to sail John! It’s clear that you’ve been looking forward to the sailing a lot. 😀 Leona (me) and Marie (sister) Vancouver Island, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARNIVAL DEPLOYS MENU MATE FOOD INGREDIENT PROGRAM FLEETWIDE _ Carnival Corporation & plc.html 99.98 kB · 1 download Looked it up - sounds like it will be available at the front of the main dining room where you go to be seated: “allergies. Easily operated on touch-screen tablets at food venues, the Menu Mate food ingredient program is powered by award-winning CertiStar software to mitigate the risks of allergic reactions.” should be quite helpful for anyone with food allowed or sensitivities.

SnorkellinGal Posted September 22, 2023 #845 Share Posted September 22, 2023 On 9/12/2023 at 6:57 PM, retltrcrr said: I'm 8 days short of Platinum but my check-in says the 13th anyway. Guess I'll know if that's correct when I attempt it in the morning. I'm flying out of here Friday and as usual have left a ton of things to do before then. I managed to give the shrubs a haircut today so there's one thing off my list. Stacks of clothes are laid out but no suitcase yet. Why am I still the wait till the last minute kind of gal? Old dog, new trick? I turn platinum on this cruise (currently 5 days shy) but was told when I booked that I’d receive my platinum cruise card, pin and perks on this sailing. I finished my check in today and printed my documents and lo and behold it shows me as platinum. Yahoo, I finally can go in the short check in line!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
