We sailed for the 50th Sailabration and purchased the premium service and it was horrible through out the ship. Our suite was in the stern and I needed to walk up to the Atrium area for connectivity and then it was about as fast as dial-up. I've had much better service on other ships.

Piggybacking off this topic...can you order more water from the Fun Shops once you are underway? 

From Carnivals Q and A site.

Carnival’s  Liquor and Beverage Policy states that guests are prohibited from bringing water, sodas and other non-alcoholic beverages on board that are packaged in bottles.

We know some of our guests are accustomed to bringing on board their own supply of bottled water, so for your convenience, purified bottled water can be pre-purchased prior to your cruise by visiting The Fun Shops. Water will be delivered to your stateroom on embarkation day. Bottled water may also be purchased on board by contacting Room Service. Once on board, your purchase is non-refundable; you may take home any unopened bottles.

Yes.

I'm willing to bet that a good amount of people on Cruise Critic who complain about the tip removers the most are in fact the ones secretly removing their tips on the last night of the cruise. They just need to protect their online imagine 🙂

Nice one 😉

How far out are these usually available? I'm 157 days out and keep checking but no luck yet...

I got an FTTF 362 days out. Like most have been saying, you've got to keep looking

According to John Heald, your brilliant cabin steward is more than happy to put FUN into your cruise and service your cabin once or twice daily, whichever you would prefer.

I fail to see his purpose.

The daily gratuity per person is higher in the GS so you're all set. 

Have A Nice Day

FYI, when two services are requested at night the steward performs turn down service only as is done at first class hotels ashore. It's not like they are in there vacuuming, polishing mirrors and dusting twice per day.

You are correct.  I cruise in a GS  I don't need the turn down.

Carnival should instead INCREASE prices. If that employee can't handle cleaning 2x a day for every room he or she is assigned, they should look for a job with another line. And if Carnival increased prices and offered a better experience, none of us would be having this conversation because these cut-backs would have never taken place.

I'm not going to agree with your post. However, it's your opinion and so be it.  But, it's my opinion that I really don't need to have the cabin stewart to service my cabin twice a day and really feel that they work hard enough as it is with their already long days, very little time off.

$20 yes.... I have seen many members say that. However I have never, ever, seen anyone say they pre-tipped their stateroom steward $100 on day one. You're very Disconnected. Can you please share the links to the replies that show where (a lot of people on Cruise Critic) say they pre-tip $100. Where are they? Direct us to these $100 first day replies. I would love to see them. Or are you confusing yourself with 100 members per pre-tipping post call it a bribe, ha!

 

🤔     💩    🤔

I will tip an extra $20.00 a day for my Cabin Steward. I like to meet with them on embarkation day and normally request a fresh exchange on the bath robes and a few other things I would like or even need for my cabin.  I will also request from them that they really only need to visit my cabin once a day and will never call for them after hours.

Hello All.
