Several years ago we were on Carnival and I was somehow able to correspond with my sister via email but not using the wifi but I did something on Carnival boards or something like that. There was no charge. I can't remember how I did it. I do remember that anyone would be able to access it but that isn't an issue for me as it would just be to say "hi" and tell them my elderly parents are find with us on the cruise. Can anyone provide information? I have no reason for wanted to use the internet while away. Looking forward to to the media break. Just wanting to let our family know we are well. TY

Thx much for your responses. 

I believe read that you have to now download the daily ship activity sheet. My parents are elderly and not even bring their phone on the ship. Does the pursers desk at least have a schedule or on the TV? TY

Sailing on the Paradise in a couple of weeks. Haven't cruised since prior to covid. Does Carnival, in particular the Paradise, still have the amazing sea day brunch on days at sea? Thanks!!

A couple weeks ago we were unable to take our cruise as our outbound flight to Orlando was cancelled due to mechanical problems. I reached out to my fellow cruise critic follwers concerning the carnival protection plan which we purchased. I had several responds, some supportive and others critizing my lack of homework sort to speak when purchasing the insurance. I am now in the process of rescheduling a cruise so now I am reaching out to my critics with insurance suggestions, tips etc. If suggesting purchasing insurance on my own, which company? Just as a side note, still do not know the outcome of my existing claim with Carnival protection.

My DH has a drinks on us offer for casino. I do not. In regards to the 15 drink limit with Cheers, how does that work with drinks on us? Two separate entities or is it 15 combined? So if we get on the ship by 12ish and we have cheers, can we start ordering drinks on cheers at that time? Also as far as days go, are the drinks calculated from midnight to midnight.  Meaning if we are in casino or  one of the clubs after midnight do those drinks go toward the next day limit? Lastly, if you tip the casino servers well and I am playing side by side with DH will they get both of us libation? Sorry for all the questions. This would be our 1st time purchasing cheers.

I know you are allowed 15 drinks per day with drink package. Do specialty coffee's,  energy drinks count as a drink used even though no alcohol?

Was anyone on a Bahamas cruise this past week. How was weather?

Comments on this past weeks 4 day Victory cruise. Heard weather was not good.

Im not looking for my air to be compensated. Just the cruise. Thats what Im having problem with.

I have the emailed contract. I have to figure out how to link it. My computer skills are a bit limited. Probably have to have my 15 yr old neice help me, ha! 

I cancelled at 11 am morning of sailing.

Good to know for the future but with having your own "personal" Carnival planner (their term) you feel safe. Don't get me wrong, I will still sail Carnival just a learning experience for us.

Yup I cancelled while we were at the airport about 11 am. It is what it is...just seems like this insurance is wishy washey at best.

Thank you...I try to remember things happen for a reason. Don't care about money refund..would just like a voucher toward another cruise.

No but what does that have to do with it. I bought travel protection. Been on over 50 cruises..always book my own flights. Protection does not state that you are not covered if you book your own flights.

Instead of sitting on our Liberty balcony..we are home. Our super early am flight was cancelled yesterday with no options to get another plane in time. Mechanical issues on Frontier. Yes I know go the day before. For personal family issues could not. Today been going nuts back and forth with Carnival and Anon. Each says that the other is responsible for refund and maybe nothing more than tax and port taxes. I ask what is this travel insurance for if not for help with reimbursement?

Would they give you a dessert to bring back to your cabin?

If i put a couple nips in my pocket with plastic caps safe?

I know when boarding during embarkation and at ports, passengers go through a detector similar to airports. Does that take a picture of your body like the special macihines at airports or are they specifically picking up metal? I have a foot and shoulder full of plates and screws. Wonder if it will set it off. Typically doesn't at the airport.

Going on a cruise next week and was wondering if you are able to purchase a phone card to call states. I have tracphone and you are unable to call international. Thanks

Thanks so much. We haven't sailed on Carnival for a few years. I hope this is something new and we didn't  miss out all the other times. Anyway, we leave on Liberty a week from today. Only 1 sea day but we will be sure to enjoy the brunch!

Wonder if a tip could be a persuasion.

Does that mean you can get DOU when in port? I know dumb question!
