He’s a really good, fun CD! Christmas time is especially fun with him. Did a couple of cruises on Liberty with him.

Although I’m not going to get to go on Venezia because I don’t fly, I was excited to hear of two officers specifically that will be on her. Karl Hallberg has always been such a nice person, met him many times on Liberty at Diamond parties and always enjoyed talking to him. Last time on Liberty last year, he saw me first and we had a nice chat. He speaks very highly of his employees and loves to hear how they’re treating you. The Liberty cruise we were on in December 2021, MarQ was the CD, he was just a ball of energy and we all had a great time! So happy to hear he’s on Venezia as well.

My pvp ALWAYS responds to me by the end of the day, and not necessarily her work day either! She may not be able to address my particular need due to regular business hours, but she calls and says she will call me first thing. I’ve had her call me at 9 pm just to let me know she got my message. If it’s something really urgent she’ll do what she can.

He definitely is that! Talked to Housekeeping Director at the Diamond cocktail party about Viktor, he said only the very best are assigned to the suites! I agreed with that because he was the best! My DH has a chronic illness that gives him issues a lot of times, unfortunately this cruise was one! He either stayed in bed or sat on the balcony the entire 5 days. When I would go out, if Viktor saw me by myself, he told me he would check on him while I was gone. Usually when I came back, he would let me know he had been sleeping when he checked or chatted with him on the balcony. Very compassionate man!

Send an email to guestcare@carnival.com. Be very detailed and send a copy of your SNS bill with the item highlighted in some way. You will receive an automated reply within a day, and should get a response from an agent in a couple days. I’ve done it before and have had good luck getting my problem resolved.

Another thing that was very helpful to me was having USB plugs in the lamps!

Sorry, couldn’t help but laugh, the poster said she was currently on the Magic and really enjoyed the non smoking annex casino!

As has been stated, it depends on the ship you are on. On Magic, we’ve always gotten the $25 fun play added directly to our cards. Most of the smaller ships like Spirit, they give you the cash. Just off Freedom and they gave cash.

Just off April 6th. Nice ship, good size. Even tho it was right in the middle of spring break, the kids were very well behaved and most must have participated in the camp carnival programs. Food in the MDR was good with great service from our wait staff. The casino was busy and bar service was good. Only complaint I had about casino was most of the slots I like to play are in the smoking section. Even then the smoke wasn’t too bad. Our cabin steward Viktor on deck 7 forward was the best ever! Didn’t do any shows or outdoor activities, have seen most of the shows several times. Anything specific you want to know, ask and I’ll try to answer. We’re going on her again in May.

That may be true sometimes, but I’ve seen people still debarking and no one getting on when we arrived at 12. One specific time was last March in Jacksonville getting on Spirit. We did March and April, both times were delayed because of ship getting late clearance, and we had to wait almost an hour after I had to carry on our luggage because all the porters were busy helping those just debarking. The second time we waited in line like that, no excuses were given, everyone was already off. No fun when you’re with DH on mobility scooter! Also last 2 times at port canaveral were late debarking as well. Rain had something to do with the first one and a broken ramp was the second time. The April 1 we were just on was the fastest in a while for port canaveral. You just never know.

Not true, maybe your opinion, but it’s been my experience recently most people follow the rules. The bar area used to be unbearable, but not now!

And as long as people don’t say anything, it will continue! I don’t hesitate to tell someone they’re at a non smoking machine! Last one said oh I didn’t know and promptly put her cigarette out in an empty glass and left! How can you not know when the no smoking symbol is right where you put your card!

I personally don’t see what all the hype is about getting the earliest check in time! I don’t see the point in checking in, going thru security and then sitting in a very uncomfortable chair for possibly a couple of hours waiting for boarding to start. Just choose a midday time and most times go right onto the ship.

We always ride with friends to the port. We all choose the same check in time, usually 12-12:30 at port canaveral. Works out for us, even before priority boarding returned. We’re all Diamond so certainly could go earlier, but really don’t see the need.

I’ve been on liberty several times last year and I can assure you they do not have escargot in any of their restaurants including the Steakhouse. I’m thinking we may have had them in the steakhouse on our January 2022 8 day southern Caribbean cruise on Magic, but that’s it.

It’s not served on 3, 4, 5 or 6 night cruises. We had it on our 8 day last January.

Now that would really be confusing!

Or even better, choose a later check in time for after the boarding begins and all choose same and go together. Easy easy.

Yes, just add them to your booking before April 1, then pay as part of final payment. If you have any more cruises booked, you should go ahead and add the gratuities to them before April 1.

John Heald just addressed this on his live feed this morning. Drug sniffing dogs are on board at embark, debark and some stay on board. Regardless of whether it is legal in any form, medicinal or otherwise, in your state, it is a Federal law and cruise ships (all ships, not just cruise) must adhere to the law! I personally could care less if you eat it, smoke it or whatever, just don’t do it on the ship. If you do, be prepared to face the consequences. Our grandson recently cruised on Liberty and the digs were out in full force at embark. He said lots of people were sent away to get rid of it or be turned away.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking!

I’m sure you’ve addressed it, but don’t have time to go thru all the pages now! Do you remember which night was elegant night on Freedom? I know it’s generally the first seaday evening or the next to last night. Need to make steakhouse reservations but don’t want to do it on elegant night! Thanks!

The first thing we always do is check the dining room and table assignments on our sail and sign cards to make sure we’re all together. If not, then go see the maitre d.

All you have to do is go into your cruise manager and add your “friends” who are cruising with you. If you used a pvp, they should have already done it. log in to cruise manager go to booking and order details scroll down about half way to Your Cruise Companions If you’re already linked, it will show there. If not, you can do it yourself from here, just go on down the page to Missing Companions? You can add them here. You’ll need their email and whatever else it asks for. An invitation is sent to them and when they accept, it adds them to your companions.

I think you can go directly to the check in time. I usually start mine and then go to checkin time.
