Actually, night 6 on a 7 night cruise is not the night before going home.

I have 2 Carnival cruises booked and received 4 emails for each of the cruises for a total of 8 emails. All came in a 15 minute window of 5pm to 5:15pm eastern.

I’ve seen the same cut backs you have. It’s a shame. The buffet is incredibly small for that size ship (and it’s small now on their other ships as well). When they stopped having tablecloths in the main dining room I understood it saved a lot of time and wash loads but unfortunately the dining room has more of a banquet hall look to it. When you go on a different cruise line you really notice how beautiful the dining room looks with the tablecloths. It also feels like a more upscale dining experience.

I will agree that the sales at Royal are all the same…but their Black Friday ones are lower than all the others. I know, I just booked internet and it is lower than the regular sales. That’s why I was hoping Carnival would have one.

I am getting 2 emails a day from Royal Caribbean with Black Friday deals for internet, excursions and specialty dining…I sure wish I could get one from Carnival!

Ok, thanks much. I use Vanguard but selected Fidelity. I did not have to put in an ID or password. It wanted me to upload a statement which I did (with redactions) and now will wait for a response. I take it after they approve they will ask for which ship and sailing date.

It wants me to link to my brokerage account by giving my ID and Password through “Plaid”. It looks like the info they want depends on your brokerage.

I just downloaded and set up an account…but one thing you didn’t mention is they want your brokerage User ID and Password! That doesn’t sound like something I would want to do. Did you do that?

How about Black Friday deals on purchasing internet? Will we see any?

Thanks for the info. Just over a week ago we bid (the maximum - $980 total) for YC inside. I saw those two YC balconies are still available so fingers crossed.

Congrats! I also bid on an Inside Yacht Club for October 29…still waiting. When did they notify you that you won your bid?

Is that a 7 night cruise?

Are the TV’s Samsung or something else? I will be on Seaside and after watching some videos I saw some Samsungs but also saw another brand with no brand name on its frame.

It’s strange that Carnival can’t get it worked out to show the games. On a Royal this past November they showed Sunday afternoon games, Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday night! They had them at numerous big screens (Aqua Theater and pool deck and bars). And to make it even better, all these games were also shown in your stateroom…and the stateroom TV was large. If Royal can do it, Carnival should too.

Thanks for the review. Please use paragraphs to make make it easier to read.
