[6fan]

I am platinum and suite guest . I want to dump my carry on in my cabin before 130. My?? is can I get by with going to cabin and leaving bag??

[staceyglow]

Absolutely.

[Eli_6]

Yes.  You just aren't supposed to hang out, but you can definitely leave your stuff.

You will have to open/go through the heavy closed doors that say something like “do not enter.” Couple weeks ago we ran into our Stew when leaving bags and he just asked that we make sure we leave nothing on floor. We also used safe to lock up valuables as cabin doors are pretty much left open as they are all being turned over.

Wouldn't you know

Maybe it's just us, but the room attendants don't seem as friendly to us going to our room to drop off our bags. I get stare downs in the hall and on the Freedom in August, I had just entered the room when the attendant told me I couldn't stay in the room; I had only been in the room for about 10 seconds. Of course I didn't say anything since he had access to my toothbrush.

They don't like it.  There is always a guest who goes to look for their room attendant  just "for one thing".  Room attendants are supposed to speak only English around guests, even when they don't see them and that slows them down as they call back and forth.  Guests leave items in their way and shut doors.

Ok, all that makes sense, and he did tell us not to put our bags on the floor. I also guess it's harder on them since now they have more rooms to clean since Carnival went to one cleaning a day.

i will just put my bag in an out of the way place and hear for lido deck

If Carnival rules state I can drop off my luggage, I'm going to do so, regardless of any looks from the crew. They don't make the rules. They just have to comply with them, like I do.

Yes, they are "entitled" to drop off their suitcases under Carnival's rules.

 

I would have probably used the word "allowed" instead of entitled, though, because there isn't a darn thing wrong with what they are doing.

I see plenty of people that aren't supposed to, still drop their luggage off.  They say they've never been stopped so it must be ok.

Not anymore, plenty of non-English chatter amongst the crew on my most recent Carnival Magic cruise over Labor Day all over the ship.

LOL.....'entitled' for doing what Carnival says they can do?

[ober134]

Be polite, be quick, drop and GO! I've earned the right to be "entitled" after 19 cruises. The problem is too many people who have yet earned that right just ignore the rules and do what they want.

Remember when your room would be ready at embarkation? Those were the days.

Plenty on non english being spoken on the Magic now. On all decks.No problem here.

[Sailor75]

I hope Carnival doesn't get rid of this benefit if there are too many people using it that shouldn't. As someone else pointed out they've already lessened it since your room is no longer ready when you get on the ship.

Still a requirement and if reported, result in discipline

The standard of service on Carnival used to be that only English was spoken by crew in guest areas. There is a lot that used to be the standard on Carnival that is no longer. Add this to the ever-growing list.

It's so widespread on Magic at least I doubt it's still a requirement. And many crew on the ship had a very tenuous grasp of the English language. It used to be that Carnival was proud that all of their guest-facing crew spoke fluent English at all times. No longer.

 

Perhaps Magic is now a "training ship"? I am not sure.

It is and will always be a requirement.
