It was\is. It is a Ruger LCP. The smallest, most compact pistol Ruger makes.

Thanks. I guess I was more interested in what he meant by "1) Carnival can designate it anything and it means nothing. Their designations have no legal power "

Wow, your naivete is only surpassed by your smugness. Work with a single mom with two kids. Did a Carnival cruise last year, loved it and her kids loved it. Is currently saving to take another cruise next year. That's more than 600 days of saving for a cruise.

Yes, right on about the locked case. I am coming from a CA perspective so that was the source of my point. But regarding what they can or cannot post, why would you say they have no legal power? If a cruise line posts that firearms are prohibited, are you saying that state law can override provided you are in a more gun friendly state like TX or FL? I guess my theoretical would be if the ship is docked in TX, I would I be free to open carry onto the ship since TX has constitutional carry?

Depends if the Carnival designates the ships "Gun free zones". Not only that, when transporting firearms, they need to be in a locked case (and unloaded). Suitcase does not count as locked case.

Right, from what I understand, the workers have from now until January to vote on the wages and the rest will be decided later. It could surely go south if the dock workers vote down the wage increase and stick to 70%. But I don't think Bentley J Goldchain thought the strike would be so unpopular as it was. He needed a win.

I believe they settled for a 62% raise. But the other items will be addressed in January. Source: https://abcnews.go.com/US/dockworkers-strike-suspended-sources/story?id=114445386

Ah no, the trash that have been having fights are NOT spending any money. Why do you think they are on Carnival. Instead, Carnival wants to blame the drink package and come out with some press release that says they are coming down on drinkers. Yeah, that will do it. Just look at what OP said about the kids on board. Remember when CHristine Duffy did that whole song and dance about behaving on cruises? One of the items was children 17 and under needed to be escorted by adult or in their rooms. Surely seems like they are failing in that regard. Funny, you take a higher price cruise from the likes of NCL and they offer UNLIMITED drinks and when was the last time you saw a video from a fight on NCL. ETA - Even on my Firenze cruise earlier this year, the colorful guests right next to us, were smoking weed right there on their balcony. I took pictures and went right to guest services and showed them the pics. Security comes up and asks them to not smoke in their room while the pot smoke pours out of the room. They remained on the cruise for the entirety.

Pretty much! I don't get it. We reach it this October then we have a December cruise. Our cruises next year are all on other lines.

I'll gladly take a stuffy Frenchman or Guinness swilling Brit over the trash Carnival has been having on their ships lately. My wife is dead-set on reaching Platinum this year. Which we will do in October. After that, I said we are switching to other lines. Thankfully RCL is bringing another ship to San Pedro. Wish NCL would offer a permanent ship.

We've sailed around the holidays for a number of cruises but this year will be our first that we are actually on the ship for Christmas. We're looking forward to it. I love Christmas with the family but I will not miss buying and decorating a tree, buying groceries for Christmas dinner, cooking Christmas dinner, cleaning the house for guests, cleaning the house after guests. We will miss our dog though. He loves pulling his treats and toys out of his stocking.

I think you can get a day pass to Margarita Ville for $50 for adults. Not sure on kids price. https://www.margaritavilleresorts.com/margaritaville-beach-resort-nassau

There are three things guaranteed in life....death, taxes and Panorama will arrive at the dock late Thanks for the review! On any Carnival ship, we generally always stay in the aft. Sadly on Firenze, the main lido is a bust so Carnival now has DJs and music in aft making even the back of the ship unbearable.

I know it sounds probably ridiculous but I would post that picture to John Heald's facebook page. There is NO denying that that is a bad mold problem and the fact that GS gave you the runaround for so long is deplorable.
