Sorry to hear hope she is alright.

sure felt like 15 lol

Ahhh yes Carnival.com your one stop shop for answers 😏

Thats not a shot thats automatic fire.... 😆

Guess it would depend on number of hours you intend to spend on your balcony vs out and about the ship. If you dont intend to ever leave your balcony then go with room service but if you do intend to go for meals or walk around the ship then grab a drink before you head back to the room. With Cheers though you can only order 1 per person every 15 min with room service i think you can order morre than 1 at a time. We would grab a beer or cooler before we went back to our room and stocked up our fridge that way every day.

Its also on Carnival.com along with the other menus of the specialty restaurants.

you cant Prepay at the end. Thats why its called Prepay. 😏

I believe that Carnival has chosen "to survive as best as possible" given the "last few years" that everyone keeps casually mentioning as if it was business as usual for all involved, and paying more money for a better "quality" of people is fine but unless your sailing alone nothing is guarantied where humans are concerned and the higher the price the shorter the fuse for some.

i have none either but to the OP it may be the straw....

Oh look everyone can relax it went up again.....

Investing.com -- Carnival Corp. (NYSE:CCL) stock edged higher in choppy early trading on Monday, after cruise operator posted a smaller-than-expected loss in the first quarter of its new fiscal year, as revenue rebounded to within 5% of pre-pandemic levels. Carnival, which has lost over $25 billion over the last three years due to the acute problems caused by COVID-19 in the cruise sector, said revenue rose to $4.4B in the three months through February, thanks to the highest booking volumes for any quarter in its history. The release of pent-up demand meant that $5.7B of customer deposits for cruises flooded in, some 16% above its previous record, set in 2019. As a result, the group's basic operating performance was markedly better than its own guidance. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose to $382 million, more than 25% above the midpoint of the $250-350M guidance range it had given three months earlier.

The Splendor is a little older and doesnt have as many food options as the newer ships as well.

well cant hurt....curious which port you sailed from earlier and which ship? Obviously it wasnt LAX (the Airport).....I have sailed on the Panorama out of Long Beach a few times and always had a great cruise to Mexico.

You mean there are actually people who buy it to make money? I thought it was bought just to get the OBC. 😯

Has anyone else noticed you cant print full docs anymore just tips and know before you go info?

What does your T-Mobile Service say about coverage? I would start there first and then see what you do or do not have for coverage. Most phone providers have some sort of roaming package. You can also check out Carnivals web site Carnival.com under Internet packages.

I have the Chef's Table reserved for our Pride 08/20 cruise. Will be my first time trying so im looking forward to it.

hmmmm Dont enter Canada with that as it would be considered a concealed prohibited weapon by customs if they found it. As to the 20 cruises i cant speak to that but i have gone through airports numerous times and then be stopped at one. I guess it all depends on the person and the place. There really is no standard of training to ensure that everyone is doing it the same.

ahh right my bad sorry read that wrong.

Sorry read OP wrong so response is incorrect

Ship usually arrives around 6 to port. early debarking starts once customs clears the ship which can be as early at 7 am. I know we had to be out of our cabins by 9 am so the Stewards could start cleaning them and that everyone was usually off the ship by 10:30 unless there was a snafu. So it is possible if all the ducks line up that they would start embarking new passengers at 10:30. Cleaning is constant so rooms and Lido buffet would be mostly what they are workin on when people start coming on and rooms arent usually ready until 1:00 pm.

The Policy on speakers still says they can be used in your stateroom btw. Guest must use earphones when listening to music or watching shows/movies on personal devices in public spaces.
