Cruise Suzy

Here's what I posted 5 hours ago in the thread "Thank you HAL for the quick stock credit approval." If you go to the Stockholders Benefit page (https://www.carnivalcorp.com/shareholder-information/shareholder-benefit) you will see this: For information regarding Stockperks’ use and processing of your information, technical support, account setup, and all other questions regarding the use of Stockperks, please contact Stockperks at carnivalcorp@stockperks.com. Last week I sent a request for help to that e-address and received a reply asking me to e-mail the following: - reservation details (full name, reservation number, date of sailing, the cruise line & ship name and email address associated with the booking) - an image of proof of Carnival stock ownership (official share certificate or brokerage statement from within the last 3 months) - on the document we need to see your name, the brokerage name, a date and how many CCL shares you own. I did that. Within 2 business days it had been submitted, and I received a note from Gus Antorcha that I would hear within 5 business days if it had been approved. Within hours, I received an e-mail that the OBC had been successfully applied. Stockperks has been saying since December that they will have a desktop computer version ready "in the very near future."

I have never seen a sale on Shore Excursions - and several do sell out for Alaskan cruises.

Glad we didn't have to walk that far when we were in Juneau - but Norwegian ships are even further from town.

I think she's by tall tower now

Did you stop here in Ocala for a break or breakfast?

I was thinking the same thought.

Lots of shaking going on

K'dam coming out from behind E'dam

Always good to see one of our 2 favorite ships - the Signature Sisters.

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

That's probably because dining reservations aren't yet available. Reservations for Specialty Restaurants normally open about 6-7 months in advance. Our November 2024 cruise opened dining reservations just a few days ago. Reservations for Fixed (Early or Late) MDR Dining are made at the time you book.

The MDR is open for breakfast on all days but only on sea days for lunch.

You can also ask at the podium if there is an opening for Early Dining.

Yes, MDR Anytime Dining reservations can be made onboard. There are Specialty Dining podiums near the Pinnacle Grill and Spa entrance on embarkation afternoon. That is also where MDR reservations can be made. However, they allow no more than 50% of the tables to be reserved. Some ships allow you to book for the whole cruise and some ships allow booking only 3 days in advance. How long the non-reservation line is varies by when you want to dine.

YES!!!

Thanks for all the research. I have just one small correction. Shouldn't that be December 5 or 6, 2009
