People are under the false assumption that if they throw money around people will fawn over them. Tip extra if you feel the service you get warrants it, or if you feel the service is sub-par and you need to tip extra to get good service. Each to their own. I don't care. But I don't like the air of superiority that these threads always have.

I answered the question. I didn't consult you as to what would constitute a satisfactory response first though, and for that I do apologize.

Exactly what I said in post #2. ☮️

Very rare post-COVID. Generally if you wait, you pay more.

First I've heard of the distilled water being free on Carnival. How recently was this.
-
Not sure how much you know about Reddit, but nothing on that site should be taken at face-value. Why don't you trust what the first two links you found say?
-
That article just says what the map shows - that Starlink is not yet available in Singapore.
-
Absolutely - the prices today are good for today. Buy it today if you are sure you'll want it for your cruise. In fact, pre-buy everything you'll want. Excursions, gratuities, etc., because everything will be much more expensive next year. Carnival hikes prices every few months lately.

Only shows coverage over land, not the sea - so while you can sort of infer coverage (or lack thereof) you can't be sure. However, if we are going by that map - there is currently no coverage in Singapore, but there is in AUS. I wonder if Splendor is equipped with Starlink antennas, and if so how do they deal with gaps in coverage.

Nobody knows. Carnival is not in charge of cleaning up the harbor so they have no control over it. You could try asking "the government" but if Carnival isn't getting firm dates out of them, what makes you think anyone else can?
-
I don't know if Starlink has made it to that area of the globe yet. Assuming it hasn't, presumably they'd still be using the older satellite network which is not great.

By the book yes it is true but in practice it is not enforced. I basically wear pajamas 24/7 on Carnival these days and sometimes I am overdressed in the MDR.
-
They raise prices literally every few months. It's meaningless to ask about prices now unless you cruise in the next few weeks.
-
I see. I don't know in that case.
-
I can't believe it's already time for another two minutes' hate for people who don't add extra tip to their receipts.

Sit Down Breakfast in MDR going away?

If they're doing that when the buffet is closed, imagine what they're doing when it's open...blech...some people will devolve to apes for a tray of Freezer Queen quality food as long as it's free and unlimited. They say we are 9 missed meals from anarchy - on Carnival, it's more like 9 minutes. -

I agree, it is sad and horrifying when I think that I was right there with them not long ago (gorging myself endlessly, eating just to eat). I'm more aware now. -
The beauty of a pooled system like the Cheers gratuities is all bartenders share in that tip so yes the amount of gratuity that individual bartender got for making your drink is quite small, but they got the same percentage from everyone else onboard who bought Cheers so it all comes out in the wash.

It's never too early to plan for your next PC...or is it?
mz-s replied to pierces's topic in Photo & Camera Discussions
Your normal keyboard doesn't have a USB dongle, it only works over Bluetooth? Mine too. It's maddening when I have to boot into BIOS and find ye olde wired keyboard. I ended up switching to a keyboard and mouse that used a USB dongle - as far as BIOS knows, they're wired peripherals. -
True, but they still get their share of the pool.
-
Pretty sure it's only a thing for US cruises. https://www.carnival.com/about-carnival/vacation-protection talks about coverage etc.

Yes, the breakfast at Cantina is great for sure. Buffet is not in my experience.
