Not trying to hijack this thread, but I do have a question about the app. If I don't bring a device (a cell phone, tablet, etc.), will be I be able to just "show up", at the dining room, as I am signed up for YTD? Or, is this going to be a problem? Thanks in advance.

For me, I'd visit Greenland and Iceland for 2 reasons. 1.) You'd still get to visit 2 ports in Canada (Halifax, and St. John's). 2.) Get to see the glaciers/ icebergs in Greenland, while you still can, as they are melting.

Carnival asking for a payment before final payment due
urbanhawk replied to EllieinNJ's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Yes, I should have said "cash flow"...thanks for pointing out, what I was really to say! -
Carnival asking for a payment before final payment due
urbanhawk replied to EllieinNJ's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
In August, I booked a cruise for out of Australia in April 2023. Final payment is due in Jan. 2023. For the past 3 months, I've received emails from Carnival requesting final payment, which I've ignored. Personally, I think CCL is wanting to increase their revenues, sooner than later. -
Carnival Panorama…12/3-12/10- LIVE
urbanhawk replied to MeganGC1983's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
That's sweet-Thank you! As part of the casino promo, I get 15 drinks/day, anywhere on the ship, but I'm a light drinker! Wish I could drink like Megan -especially the variety of adult beverages in a day! -
Carnival Panorama…12/3-12/10- LIVE
urbanhawk replied to MeganGC1983's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Megan-I'm Stephen from Tucson and have been following your posts. Thanks for all the pics, and info. (Are you St. Greg's sister?!). I was to be on this cruise, this Sat, so I could celebrate my birthday in P.V. Unfortunately, today I had to cancel. But, fortunately, I was able to have my cruise transfered to 1-21-23 sailing. Happy cruising! -
Man Overboard on Carnival Valor found alive
urbanhawk replied to BlerkOne's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Those for pointing this out, and reminding us. I liked it when we were referred to as "baby boomers". Now many refer to us as "senior boomers"😬!!! -
Man Overboard on Carnival Valor found alive
urbanhawk replied to BlerkOne's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I'm not understanding what you are saying-aren't Louisiana waters part of U.S. waters? (I'm being serious) -
I'm in the same boat (70's, and not tech savy !), but different ship-I will be on the Panorama in Dec. I don't have a cell phone and never wanted one. I'm signed for YTD. Will this be a problem, not having a cell phone? Thanks.
-
I am looking forward to cruising on the Panorama in Dec.. My 1st cruise in about 7-8 years. I appreciate reading about all these tips. I do have a question/concern. I don't have a cell phone-will I be able to access things such as YTD, without a phone and app? Thanks in advance, and happy cruising!

EATING IN THE STEAKHOUSE FOR FORMAL NIGHT?
urbanhawk replied to diesteldorf's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I think mine does, too. Maybe I should not go to the Steakhouse....but I will-at this stage in life, what's another lump or 2?!😂 -
EATING IN THE STEAKHOUSE FOR FORMAL NIGHT?
urbanhawk replied to diesteldorf's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I admit-NOT a good look! Very wrinkley. For the folks on this cruise, if someone decides to wear their b-day suit, I can assure you, it WON'T be me!😇 -
EATING IN THE STEAKHOUSE FOR FORMAL NIGHT?
urbanhawk replied to diesteldorf's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Since I'm booked for my birthday, can I just wear my birthday suit?!😬😉 -
EATING IN THE STEAKHOUSE FOR FORMAL NIGHT?
urbanhawk replied to diesteldorf's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I have a cruise booked on the Panorama departing on 12-10-22. I just booked the steakhouse for my birthday on Dec. 13th, for $42, using obc.. Thanks to all for the reminders about the deadline to book before the rate increase. -
If you like Mayan ruins, you may consider checking out the ones in Belize that are named, starting with Xun........if you do, I'd recommend going on a Carnival excursion-it's a bit expensive, but worth every penny. .it's an all day trip, but Carnival will get you back to the dock, so you don't miss the ship!

I had to read up on the Tonka beans, as I had never heard of them-it seems some brands of Mexican vanilla do indeed use them, while others do not. I guess the O.P. will need to decide for theirself.
-
That's very interesting about the honey and the wine-I had no idea. Thanks for pointing that out. In re:to the Mexican vanilla, I'll have to disagree. I think it's probably cheaper to grow, to process, and to market the beans in Mexico, just imo.
-
My bottle of Molina has it written right on the bottle "No Coumadin", just as an fyi. I like it, as it is 100% pure vanilla, and much more less expensive, then Trader Joe's. And Molina's vanilla is from the plant that grows in Mexico-I believe in the state of Veracruz. Other places possible, as well?
-
Just in my opinion, you can never go wrong with "Molina"!

Carnival Luminosa Junior Suite versus balcony cabin comparison
urbanhawk replied to pryce_tag's topic in Cabin Selection Tips
I booked a good casino promo for the 22 day T.P. next April with a jr. suite, as it was the same price as a balcony. It looked like it was in a good location. Will hope for the best! -
First time Hawaii: Cruise vs flying + hotel?
urbanhawk replied to thermal's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Aot of many good exchanges of ideas, and experiences. With that being said, here is another's point of view. I enjoy cruises-both for the ship experiences, and for the ports of call experiences. I've been to many places, which I may have never been able to visit, if it weren't for the cruises.. It's like a buffet-sampling new places/ports of call. If a place sparks an interest, then , consider going back on a land vacation. I hope the O.P. let's us know of their decision. -
Best Casino Offers: $200 Deposit: Comped Balcony!!!
urbanhawk replied to gkbiiii's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thanks! Even though my username is urbanhawk, I really am an old fart cruiser!😂 -
In the link jenna 9 posted, it doesn't make any sense about Slendor being canceled for Sept 26th onward. The Splendor left Seattle on Sept 6th, and due back, in Sydney on the 30th. I can be dense at times-am I missing something?

Best Casino Offers: $200 Deposit: Comped Balcony!!!
urbanhawk replied to gkbiiii's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Last spring I booked a fantastic casino offer-it was for the 23 day t.p. from Seattle to Sydney on Spendor. I got a free balcony ($200.00 n.f. deposit that would be $200.00 of obc), $2000.00 in fun play, and free drinks everywhere on board.A few weeks before this "once in a lifetime cruise" I had to cancel-this was just last month. Well, lo and behold, I received a couple more offers. I booked a 22 day t.p. cruise for next April from Brisbane to Seattle. I got a free suite, with good perks, and itinerary! (Last cruise was 7-8 years ago.) -
How old were you when you took your first cruise?
urbanhawk replied to Honolulu Blue's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
I took my 1st cruise in 2007, and I was 57. I had taken my mom, for an early birthday gift-she would turn 84 a few months later-she also got her 1st passport for the cruise! Happy cruising!
