Ok.

....but the higher category would actually be an ID. Still a FWD cabin but on decks 10-12. Look at the Escape for example....mid ship and higher is the prime insides which are IA's. IF is worst....lowest cabins which are either FWD/AFT. Category.....Deck.....Location.....Avg Per Person IA....13,14,15....Mid$899 Located on a high deck. Sleeps up to four. IB........11,12......Mid$889 Convenient mid-ship location. Sleeps up to three. IC......13,14Forward, Aft$879 Located forward or aft of the ship. Some triples and quads are available. Some connect. ID.......10,11,12......Forward, Aft$859 Located forward or aft of the ship. Some triples and quads are available. IF........8,9........Forward, Aft$849 Convenient location, some on the same deck as The Waterfront.

Also....I think you are backwards. An IF is their worst inside cabin, an IA is the best which are mid ship on the higher decks.

....because deck level isn't the sole factor in deciding the value of a cabin.

We usually bring some of the stadium seat things to sit on if we plan to go somewhere without facilities like we do in many ports. I don't mind sitting on a towel but I like having a back rest so it solves that without being bulky. I also have a small sun shade that folds up to nearly nothing. All is light and no hassle to carry with you. The seats actually fit in my backpack and the shade is small enough to carry because it is a little shorter than a bag chair.

LOL....I think some on here will be claiming PTSD just for looking at the photos. "Where is my compensation Carnival?!?!"

....before you get to the port.

Well.....I think their goal is to have a gift shop with a wide variety of items instead of a department store. They don't have the space.

Why stop there?

Outside.

There is no such thing as a 'chain cruise line'. They all aren't selling the same pair of shoes. Although similar, they all offer a brand specific product that have countless variables even within their own brand which have their own associated costs and value. All this proves is you are looking at a complex mathematical formula with emotion only which keeps you from understanding the business model. The market sets the price, bottom line.

Of course it isn't true.....

Why do people think cruise lines are supposed to operate like a low income charity? They are a for profit business who do their shareholders a disservice whenever they don't seek to maximize profits.

Some people should just stay home huddled in their safe space.

I just got off last weekend also. The huge TV in the cabins is great but the channel selection sucks so it was really of little use.

NCL changed the entire industry, before it was all the same. Eat with strangers at a specific time, hungry or not.

LOL. ok....you are right....we get it.

We cruised right after that so it had my attention. Everything I heard was 25% which was the same thing I shared on here from a few who discussed the situation. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=54003169&postcount=27

Usually the 1st sea day but that is the last day on this one. Good question.

I never pre-pay, I always have an OBC that partially or fully takes care of it. I don't like a bill at the end either but the one thing I like worse is using my own money.

Don't listen to all the BS on the internet.

It just isn't that clear cut, that is why there are always questions. From Carnival: Traveling with a Minor When traveling with a minor where one parent or both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter from the absent parent(s) or legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security.

I read those same things. We had a similar situation with my stepson, father was never in his life after about age 3 at all and we had no way of locating him if we wanted to. We brought copies of the final decree showing her as having primary custody, no one asked for it in the 8 or so cruises we went on before he hit 18.

Nice assignment.
