  1. • Legend has it that French explorer Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville first introduced Mardi Gras to the area in 1699, after he sailed into the Gulf of Mexico on March 6 (Fat Tuesday), and set up camp on the west bank of the Mississippi river about 60 miles south of New Orleans. He named the site Point du Mardi Gras, in honor of the holiday which had been celebrated in Paris since the Middle Ages. • The true origins of Mardi Gras can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome, when early Christians with Pagan roots feasted and celebrated ahead of the somber days of Lent
  2. Do those megaships go to any tender ports?
  3. Much more the norm than the exception. Thank you for an honest evaluation.
  4. Carnival is in the cruise line business, not IT. You would think Microsoft has the knowledge and experience to stop breaches, but no. https://firewalltimes.com/microsoft-data-breach-timeline/
  5. What a crock. When someone posts about me instead of something I posted, they make it personal. I couldn't care less if someone doesn't agree with me.
  6. It is impossible to prevent all attacks all the time. Data breaches are increasing year after year https://iapp.org/news/a/record-number-of-data-breaches-in-2021/
  7. Often, state AG offices KEEP some of the money from lawsuits, so not all, if any, gets paid out to those who were actually wronged. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2015/2/19/when-states-win-lawsuits-where-does-the-money-go AG offices have salaried lawyers on staff - those are not court costs.
  8. You drove. Garbage/contractor bags make legit suitcases.
  9. Nothing like how they track your computer and credit card usage.
  10. On average less that $7 per person IF they get all of it. and at what cost to the taxpayers of the states? I long ago lost count of corporations that have had data breaches. Why do you single Carnival out? Even Royal is not immune. Carnival is in no danger of making the Top Ten (or hundred, thousand...) https://www.upguard.com/blog/biggest-data-breaches-us
  11. The only way a foreign cruise line will succeed in China is using Chinese built ships. China made that clear a long time ago. Same with Boeing planes - if Boeing wants China to buy their planes, Boeing is going to have to shift some work to China.
  12. This is a current Miracle/Alaska/San Francisco cruise
  13. I have been on 7 Carnival cruises since the restart, never paid full price, and never had an issue with receiving shareholder OBC. The only hiccup was not with Carnival, but a relative, Princess, and it is only because they (Princess) now want a form filled out with basically the same information that I put in email requests. On your observation, it seems complainers make a lot more noise than satisfied customers, and can distort reality.
  14. I bet the smoking policies on the Carnival Costa ships will be those of Carnival and not Costa.
  15. Translation: They aren't going to spend money redoing the ships. They will still be Funships in a different wrapper. It gives Corp the ability to move the ships to other Carnival brands depending on how the experiment works and demand. Costa by Aida. Costa by Princess. etc.
