I saw something recently about saving 10% if you use the Carnival card.

They are smart enough to know that they should do that. If a rated player has children that they cruise with (such as myself) and wants to place them in their own room it is a good incentive for the rated player to cruise with them more often

Kids ok I get that. A room for your BFFs. No

It was rescheduled to earlier in the day.

Taxi.

Uber.

Lyft.

Bus.

Rental car.

Bicycle.

Tricycle.

Motorcycle.

Boat.

Walk.

Horseback.

Rickshaw.

Hot air ballon.

Shuttle bus.

Space shuttle.

Underground tunnels.

I don’t know.

Yea, you have 24 hrs from booking the cruise to also book excursions to get 10% off

Which makes a whole bunch of sense when you book a cruise a year plus out and there are zero excursions posted....

They should not do that. The rate is to you to get you to come back. Why would the casino extend the rates so you can bring 16 of your friends that won’t even step foot in the casino.

No. That is overrated. 

But I do believe their should be an adults only store on-board.

How could a family (on one folio) use the chat feature if only one could be logged on at a time? Apparently not the case.

Yes, appearenty the case since each guest has their own folio number regardless of where they stay, who is paying the bill, etc.

I understand the app can be installed on multiple devices and logged in off-board. I have it on my iPhone and iPad. However, on board, I can’t use the chat feature of the Hub app on both of my devices at the same time.

My God I didn’t realize until now, but as a forum where people come to get information from “experts”, this place really does a disservice to people. I give up.

And you used the chat feature, viewing charges, on all devices?

They really do their best to have it ready before you get there if you pick On Arrival. 

It depends on how many priority rooms they have to have ready, how many other deliveries and decorations they have to deal with.

Worst I have heard of was a friend not getting theirs until they got back from dinner.

 

I didn’t get my cookies until after the ship sailed and it RUINED my cruise.

It used to be where the user could only be signed into one device at a time. Not sure if they changed it.

Not meaning to hijack thread, but how does marijuana get through security with the drug sniffing dogs?  Yes, I've smelled it before when smoking on balcony was "legal".

In my experiences, you don't see the dogs leaving, you see them coming back. DHS don't give a ship what you take out the country. They do care what you bring back.

I've only seen Black Friday (and the Carnival MC others have mentioned).

Sometimes someone gets the odd promo code the found online to work, but that is rare.

Even if you switch to a new machine?  Will the new machine show your accumulated points?

 

Thanks.

Yeppers 🙂

You don't have to be an AARP member. You just need to sign up in the Rewards program; then take a bunch of surveys to earn points.

 

 

Thanks, and it's the survey points that earns you the discounted price? Or is it just available at random times?

Thank you....just wondering if I wanted it to be there on the first day...if that would happen.  We are platinum...not sure if that makes a difference of when our room will be ready..?

Yes, you will want to select "on arrival" and it should be done prior to when you can first access your stateroom. Sometimes for alcohol purchases, they want someone to sign for it versus just leaving it, so those are delivered later in the day (or sometimes the second day if you go out of one of those up-tight alcohol weird ports like Galveston or Mobile).

When you do it online through the Fun Shops, you select the date/time you want it done.

Is there a way of keeping track of how many points you are accumulating as you gamble on board?  Is it reflected in your account somewhere so you can see it?

It will tell you on the slot machine on the little display next to where you insert your S&S card.

I thought every cruise you take you start at 0 points, do they carry over, in other words, if I took a cruise lets say last month and I got over 1500 points and did get the drinks on us card, if I cruise say within the year again with carnival will I automatically get the drinks on us card on the next cruise?

You do start over at 0 on every cruise, but they also have access to your previous play history. You don't automatically get the card just because you had it on the previous cruise. However, if they look up your history on the current cruise and see you get 1,500+ points on your prior cruises, they might give it to you before you reach 1,500 points. It's up to the discretion of the casino boss. Usually this is easier at table games than slots cause you have to give your card to get rated and there is someone always rating you while you play. 

Do you have to be an AARP member to take advantage of this? I thought I saw previously where people said it was open to anyone.

It's true that even a small amount of poopy seeds in a muffin or on a bagel will show signs of opiates up to 48 hours after ingestion.  However, I thought the Feds upped the  level to 2000 nanograms per milliliter to override these positive results from small doses.

They did, well at least the lab that does our testing does. No, generally these don't come back as trace. These are full blown positives. This is a construction/paving company in a area that has been heavily hit by heroin the past few years. Usually these are entry level test- they pass the initial somehow, but 3-4 months later, they get popped with a positive. They usually say poppy seed bagel or I started using lotion with hemp due to my skin condition, but the tests read otherwise. Since the jobs market improved, I usually can't keep these entry level guys, so the company changed the policy from immediate termination to non-paid suspension. Pretty much all they have to do to come back is pass another test, and then the cycle begins again.

My parents are on the Glory Journey's cruise right now, and they received a $25 bar credit from Costco Travel agency. However, Carnival won't accept it because it's not in their system. My mom has the receipt stating a credit was given, but they won't honor it. She is asking me for help, so now I'm asking you! 

I'm assuming they already went to guest services and went up the management ladder? Are you in a position to call the TA on behalf to inquire? Maybe that can provide additional or they can contact corporate?

I just have to throw this out there because I have been screwed over by travel agents that promised OBC, items in the room, etc., and then when I get on board, they never did it. Did the TA actually do it or do they just have a letter/email saying that is what they would get.
