Or you can just log off the WiFi plan on your phone and log in to Wifi on your computer.

TBH, I don't know if there are statistics or not. However, I know at least 2 people who have had their passports stolen while sightseeing. I don't know anyone who got left at a port without their passport.

If you miss the boat, they will retrieve your passport from you room and leave it with the authorities on the dock. You are much more likely to lose your passport (or have it stolen) than to be stuck in a foreign port without it,

Do NOT take your passport onshore. It is not required and you risk having them lost or stolen. I have been on over 30 cruises in North America and Europe and have never needed my passport on an excursion. You will need a government ID, so I bring my driver's license.

I think it is just really difficult to produce seafood dishes on the scale that Carnival has to. Seafood can be a little tricky to cook, and trying to keep it warm dries it out.

I was actually hoping you were right! LOL. Love me a good vodka tonic, but would prefer not to have all the sugar.

I meant immediately before they offered the late night snacks. But apparently there is no point too minor for you to argue about.

Not since Covid.

As long as no one needs to use the WiFi at the same time, you can share one plan. And it is a bit of a pain to switch devices by entering the birthdate and folio of the primary person on the plan, it's still better than paying for a multi-device plan. It typically takes me about 15-20 seconds. The folio number pops up as a drop-down list for me once I enter it for the first time.

Unless they purchased their tickets with cash at the venue, their personal data is already associated with their tickets.

Before, they had no late night food except for pizza. Now, they have other food besides pizza. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to eat it. And you aren't any worse off than you were before. If anything, you are still better off simply because the line at the regular pizza place will probably be shorter.

There are several websites and apps that have luggage storage in places all over the US and the world. I have used Luggage Hero in Miami.

Do they carry diet tonic on CCL?

Search "John Heald" on your Facebook search bar. He will pop right up.

They sell several types of hard seltzers onboard.

I am going to go with zero. The international news channel they typically broadcast might show some highlights later on. Otherwise, you can buy a wifi package (or pay the daily rate) to stream it on your phone or computer.

I don't know what ships you have been on, but I have never had to wait ten minutes for an elevator. My point was about not clogging up the lobby in front of the MDR. If I was going to start on my way before I was assigned a table, it's better IMO to hang out nearby (Promenade deck or lobby bar, for example) and wait for your notification. It is super annoying when you have your table number and it takes ten minutes to get past people sitting on the stairs, people stacked in front of the hostess stand, etc. What they really need to do is have a velvet-rope type of line that is only for people who have their table number, have their whole party together, and are ready to sit down.

Personally, I would wait until I received the notice that my table is ready before I actually came to the MDR. The elevator area in front of the MDR is typically packed with people who didn't wait, which makes it harder on both the hostesses and the people whose already have an assigned table.

So all they need to do is not serve about 75 billion slices of bacon and their debt will be paid off. In all seriousness, folks, the reason that they only serve bacon every other day is the same reason they took sautéed mushrooms and shoestring potatoes off Guys toppings bar. There was a not-insignificant number of people who were taking more than a reasonable single serving, and ruined it for everyone.

And what's an extra couple of dollars when you are already spending four figures to take the cruise?

Just like Journeys cruises, Alaska cruises skew older. That's a big factor right there. FTR I have been on over 25 Carnival cruises, including probably a dozen Caribbean cruises, and I have yet to see (or even hear about) an onboard fight.

Take them out of the line and let them argue there.

Here's an idea: They should match your digital debark time to when they scan your Sail and Sign for the last time as you leave. Imagine getting in line early, getting all the way to the scan, and the machine beeps in a weird way and the security officer says., "I'm sorry, you aren't scheduled to get off for another hour. Come back then." That would stop the cheating pretty quickly. 😁

They all accept dollars as well

IMO the challenge with YTD and a large party would not be on Carnival's side, but yours. Unless all 10 of you spend the entire day together, contacting everyone in your party to determine what time everyone wants to eat and then actually having all of them show up in a timely manner will be quite a chore. I would recommend either getting set time dining or deciding up front that the entire party does not necessarily need to eat together every night.
