3,000+ Club

3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. Some of the bars on our last couple of cruises were definitely understaffed; These were ships we had been on before and knew that bars that had only one person this time had 2 or 3 before. Wait time was more like 15 minutes.
  2. If you switch to get the drink package for the two of you instead of all of you, won"t you lose the casino offer for the 2nd room?
  3. We generally do not tip extra. If the bartender is particularly helpful or is hustling (seems to be the case more now, as bars seem understaffed) we will add an extra dollar amount to the slip. Sometimes we will give extra cash on the last night to a bartender who had been outstanding
  4. Underwear and socks, T shirts and cotton shorts, pajamas.
  5. Great location for both exploring the city and accessing the port,
  6. Though you cannot get a non-refundable deposit credited back to you, you usually can have it applied to a different Itinerary.
  7. Carnival used to enforce the policy that diners would not be seated more than 15 minutes past the set time. On two nights during our recent 5 day cruise, a couple was seated a full 30 minutes late and our servers had to scramble to serve them.
  8. Early June works well too; many schools are still in session then too,
  9. Port means left when facing forward (as opposed to starboard on the right).
  10. Yes to all. You can also use it to chat with anyone on the ship who has activated the chat app {$5 for whole cruise). You will make your dining reservations with it and schedule your debarkation time. You can review your S & S account in real time as well as your casino account.
