I buy actual paintings from the artist on Etsy or street art etc. This way is better for everyone. Of course, I’m not after a glass of free cheap champagne

Hello! I have to book the Boston plane and hotel. Does anyone know what the good walkable part of town is, possibly near the pier? Bonus cookie for Hilton brand … Thanks. I have glue on fingernails from a wedding last night 🤪 so hard to type lol

Thanks for the calculator. I don’t drink sodas or coffee drinks, so yeah… no cheers for us.

That is an interesting solution. So the balcony was free for you under the casino offer? Usually with carnival you have to pay x2 for a solo person cabin.

as I’m sure many have said, no. it’s a problem for us because I don’t really drink. (I’m not opposed to it and might have 1 or 2 drinks n the cruise). So we used to get liquor delivered to the room through bon voyage. Then they stopped that. Then they brought it back. Idk where it is now. unless your person is drinking 15 drinks a day it’s probably not worth it anyway. I just got back from a cruise with my son so he charged his drinks on sign and sail and it came to like $300.

Does anyone have John Heald’s email? Maybe he can help me get a legible copy.

I have it somewhere. We debarked with luggage and they called us at 7:15 so it was a frenzy and I grabbed it on the way out. It might be at my son’s house and I’m going to look for it later today when I get there

I didn’t think to check the app. Does it work if you aren’t on board? and eek at how many people this has happened to. I was about to let it go thinking they credited me the $575 but now I’m going to stick with it. Blah.

Drug dogs sniffed all of our carry ons at the port of Nola, so I think they are cracking down on drugs, at least in some places. Don’t bring anything dressy for the dining room like a tux or suit unless you want to. Hawaiian type shirt and slacks will be overdressed. They only have bacon on certain days for breakfast on the Lido deck, and you can’t get it for room service.

Seriously, before this, I only had one spa service in 9 cruises. A couples massage with DH probably on Dream. This was my first real adventure in the spa and I admit that I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Yikes. I’m never going to prepay again. As someone else mentioned, they run their own specials once you are onboard.

I’m really hoping this is what happened and then I can drop it.

Darn it, lost a post to cyberspace. yes, this is what I think happened. You are lucky to catch it online but also what a giant PITA to have to deal with that on a cruise. Its possible they credited my SS account $575.00. I want to verify if they did or not,

Yes, I really hope Carnival did it correctly but this would mean I spent $2500 onboard (I’m not a drinker. My son had a few bar drinks) a 6 day cruise and that doesn’t really work out either. I suppose it’s possible. I’m sure we all have had charges that got away from us. Lol I’d like to see the itemized list and compare so I know I was charged correctly. No one likes feeling or getting overcharged by $575.00 If they are correct, then I’ll have to pay better attention next time to what I’m doing onboard 😁

It went through.

Thanks. I am hoping to get what I need by disputing the charge: like, hey, let’s verify this so we are both happy with how much money I spent onboard.

sorry! I see that I was unclear in my original post. The $2,000 was spa, room service, some drinks, seafood shack, etc. I had 7 spa services. 3 massages, 3 acupuncture sessions and 1 facial. It was all on the sign and sail account (as I remembered it). So the sign and sail account is correct. It’s the prepaid $575.00 for 3 spa services that is the issue. I was double charged for those.

It is Carnival, but I recently went on HAL and am going on HAL again on April, so I got what he meant. If I have to eat $575.00 then I guess I’m going to eat $575.00 That will be a hot steaming pile of garbage though

I get that it certainly would have been easier that way, but I was unaware how it worked and I was unaware that the pre paid charge actually went through (as opposed to a hold for instance). The prepaid charge went through on 12/28 and my cruise was 1/2/23. I had not received my statement by the time the cruise left. I just disputed $575.00 on my credit card until I can get some confirmation from CCL about this. The prepaid charge is on one credit card and the sign and sail charges are on a different credit card. It’s also possible I’m wrong, which is why I wanted a copy of my sign and sail charges. To be continued.

Welp, my sign and sail charges came in an email and it looked like this:

Yes, I prepaid so I think I prepaid and also paid at the time. I just requested a copy of my onboard charges to double check as I can’t find my print out at the moment.

Ok, so I figured it out. You go to carnival.com and scroll down to post cruise inquiries and get a copy of your on board charges if you don’t have it handy. If there is still a problem, you send an email to guestcare@carnival.com for the archives in case someone searches this

Hi, everyone. I purchased 3 spa treatments before I left and I took advantage of the package: 10% off least expensive, 20% off middle one and 30% off highest price, for a grand total of around $550.00 They also charged me individually for the spa treatments on the on board account, with the grand total of everything at around $2,000. Who do I speak with about getting my $550 back? I’m so aggravated, thanks. Has this happened to anyone else?

I love the mini fridge. I made great use of mine.

Thank you; we have a veranda.
