I am still unable to reserve my 2 specialty dinings with Premier pkg. It wants to charge me. Just like in the old app. Seems they might have fixed something like this. Princess KNOWS the package I have yet still wants to charge me for the 2 specialty dinings.

Pasta Bella is the exact same thing as Cucina Del Capitano. It's just called something different on the Dream. We just came off a 14 day Dream cruise and ate there several times.

Just FYI, there is no smoking area on Deck 5 on the port side, only on the starboard side. The smoking areas on Panorama are the best ones I've seen on the Carnival ships I've been on. Large areas with comfortable seating. I especially liked the Deck 5 starboard area with loungers and tables too.

This cancels our back to back in January. 2 DAYS ago I got the URGENT e-mail telling me I need to make final payment. Like they didn't know they were going to cancel the cruises......

The airlines all require masks to be worn. And EVERYBODY knows with a mask on you're 100% protected!! No virus can get through THAT thing! Right. It's like putting up a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes.

Yes, you will have to pay the deposit on the re-booked cruise. However, the "penalty" will be applied to your new cruise so you're not losing money, you just have to do another deposit.

I received the same offer for a Panorama cruise in late July. I took the offer and lo and behold 2 days later they cancelled the cruise. Seems pretty obvious they knew that cruise would not happen and took advantage to get some more cash flow. It's REAL easy to offer fantastic upgrades when you know the ship will NOT sail!

My April 25th cruise was cancelled. I applied the FCC to my July 25 cruise and was given $600 OBC. Now that cruise has also been cancelled. SO...if I re-book, again, I'll still only get $600 OBC. If Carnival wants to give an incentive to re-book, maybe they should honor their word and give another $600 OBC. They offer no incentive to re-book so I'm not falling for it again. This time I'll opt for the full refund, although it's unlikely I'll ever get it. It's been a month since they claimed to process my refund for the first cruise and I've not seen a cent. Once a refund is "processed" it should only take a few days to show on my card.

On the Regal now and have waited as long as 10 minutes and give up and take the stairs. All the while watching car after car go past your floor and never stop. Worst elevators I've ever seen on a cruise ship.

I avoid this Dog'n'Pony show as often as I can.

Amen.

If you change elite level during a cruise on Carnival, they bump you up at the beginning of the cruise. On Royal, you have to wait until the next cruise.

Not always. I just did a back to back on Royal and was not Gold on the second cruise. Still blue.

We received a check within a week.

If you do book a B2B make sure you call Carnival and have them linked as B2B.

Also on that cruise. I gave up on FTTF. I was checking every day and then one day I didn't check and the next day it was sold out. Oh well.
