Name game Posted June 11, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It's another party on another night or afternoon. It's a more casual thing but essentially the same. Free food and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyCat81 Posted June 11, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You'll get an invitation sent to your cabin. They usually leave it in your little "mail box". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted June 11, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes, an invitation will be left in your cabin a day or two ahead of the past guest party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name game Posted June 11, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just a reminder if you haven't read this on a milllion other threads, you can order whatever drink you want at these cocktail parties, you don't have to drink the ones they walk around with.

hammsz Posted June 11, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Great party for about an hour. I try to down about 6-8 drinks. Didnt know you could order what you want, will get some better drinks at the next one. Didnt get a past guest pin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedcruiser Posted June 11, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We've went to the past guest parties on our last 2 cruises. The Elation was pretty good and the server brought you whatever drink you requested and has great little snacks. The Captain spoke and they show you a small film about the history of Carnival. The same thing happened on the Conquest but getting the drink you want was hard and no snacks were offered. The invitation shows up in your room the night before with little carnival pins showing the boat your cruising on. They do take your invitation at the door of the party. It lasts maybe 30 minutes.

hammsz Posted June 11, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I remember it was one ticket per person. They have turned people away before. Hopefully you can go to Kinkos and make a replica of your ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerOT Posted June 11, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 11, 2007 So it isnt a stateroom invitation? I will be going on the cruise with my family and I am the only one who has previously cruised Carnival. I wouldn't want to go alone! On our X cruises, they allow you to bring guests who are travelling with you in - I guess I just assumed it would be the same!

I've heard mixed things about this. I've actually brought people with me. I thought I heard you can bring one guest with you. I guess it depends on how strict they feel like being that night.

Cotton Posted June 11, 2007 #20 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I wouldn't want to go alone! ! :D Dancer, there's nothing to it. Just go by yourself and have fun! I'm a female solo cruiser and I always go to the parties alone. It's only about 45 minutes out of your day, so surely your family can find other fun things to do in that short time. Problem is - IF Carnival allowed every past guest to bring a guest (or in your case, a family of however many??)..... Can you imagine how crowded it would be? It's been so very crowded at times, the passengers who have earned the privilege of attending the party don't even enjoy it as much anymore. So, adding guests of past guests really isn't fair at all. When your family is on their next (5 night or longer) cruise, they can all go because they deserve it! Try to look at it that way.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
