Happy Sailing!

24 Hour stores in Miami. Been there done that. Hopefully one is near your hotel. You could always pick it up in the am before boarding.

Yuck and Boo. Again. Cutback # ? Been so many that I’ve lost count. Guess I’ll never try the donut sandwich or the pineapple/ham pizza - favorite pizza. No BLT. Ugh … We’ll see in Nov how this shakes out but we are not impressed or happy with their decisions since re-start. Yes, yeah yeah…blah blah blah COVID. Pretty sure we’ll be moving on. It’s just gone downhill too far.

Way Bigger pools or more of them, and more hot tubs. Bigger comedy club, 24 hour cafe, bring the food back to the quality is was a dozen years ago, more dessert options in MDR again. Better staff to passenger ratio. Remember when they had time to say hello and seemed happy…now they’re sweating, hurried and not as enthusiastic, feels and seems odd to us.

We like them because they are a bit bigger than a reg balcony. They are more private. Have seen dolphins and flying fish. Many birds too, which was kind of surprising Very handy for port days. 1 flight down in am and 1 flight up upon return, we really liked that. Have 2 booked on the Dream in 67 days. 🚢 🚿 🚿

Have only smelled it once. Didn’t care. Still don’t. Would love to legally do so, but alas, they prefer drunks over “altered” peeps. My mother in law used to say, I suppose you were out there getting altered?! Why do you do that? We’d say, want to try it? She’d say no and we’d say, then you’ll never know why! Agree that edibles are the only way to fly. Still not on a cruise, the consequences could be massive. Ask Brittney (Fool) Griner. Sheeeezzzzz

This is a great thing to know about. Thanks for posting the link. 👍🏻👍🏻 Carnival!

We watched football playoffs on the big screen at sunset & night hours. This was on the Valor. BEST FOOTBALL viewing ever….except we lost,,,that part was brutal. LOL

The Twister boat is very fun! ,The beach we went to was Passion Island. Beautiful , (Corona ads are filmed here) good food & drinks, very clean bathrooms. We’d do it again, but there is so much to do in Cozumel.

That coffee card issue is really unbelievable. I’d push on that. It’s the principal of it, not a free coffee. Glad you found a quiet spot for your studies!

Bummer. My condolences. That is frustrating, especially with such short notice. You’ll figure it out. Enjoy your cruise!

Must have missed this in March. Thank you for posting your review and sharing your adventure. My brother was paralyzed 2 hrs ago and your information was helpful. He has worked very hard and can transfer his 6’4” self very well. It seems so daunting to think of, but I feel more confident now. 😃

Just got to add that todays new cuts seem to have tipped the scales for a few. It’s like this for us, Carnival was a moderate like a fairly decent hotel chain. Carnival seems hell bent on being a Motel 6 or Super 8. And not a nice shiny new 6 or 8, at that.

Another cutback, another PIA. The way they word their cutback bs makes it sound like this is what passengers want. They obviously think we are ALL idiots. The room service trays in the hall have food on them because, as stated above, the food was not good! The $ breakfast items were worse than awful! We enjoy a BLT or other sandwich from room service for lunch, snack or dinner sometimes. Only source of potato chips. The veggies & dip have really been missed by us. The buffet the last 2 cruises was horrible. The MDR food items are now Barbie doll size servings. Yeah, we’re moving on. What Carnival has left now is nothing like it was 12 years ago. Nothing special, nothing unique, nothing for us to entice others to join us. We’ll pay more for a better experience. Thanks …… Poof ……

Been offered champagne & wine at spa/salon. Usually a very luxurious or nice resort type of spa/salon

OP : as stated by prev posters. No only a few exist but, IMO it should be on every ship. Loved that concept and the $extra snacks were reasonable and nice, you can stay longer than. Honestly I’d expand it to outside & inside and make it a big deal. To each their own. But, I haven’t been on the Mardi Gra or Panorama yet so …

Alaska is amazing! Following this adventure! Thanks for taking me along!

Hoping Carnival will enforce the rules they have in place and the new ones. It is a sad state of affairs that some people need to be reminded to have basic manners and courtesy and to parent their children appropriately. Remember the me, me, me generation? They are now the parents of kids with the same behaviors Carnival—Please, please, please enforce the rules and follow through with penalties for bad behavior. If there are no consequences for bad behavior, there is no reason to change it! A few people being booted off their cruise, as examples of consequences, should definitely get the desired results.

To each their own. Team Pepsi wins rt now. DH and I prefer Pepsi products but DS likes coke better, but he knows that he can get Dew and is pleased about that! DH & I love Diet Dew!! Nice zing to it!

We’re staying a month in Galveston pre-cruise and will need a clean, decent laundromat. Anybody know of one? Thanks!

We have lways ordered what we wanted in the casino and received it. Nothing out of the ordinary though. Agree with the “need” to tip servers in order to get repeat orders filled. It works 95% of the time. It’s a sad but true fact. Don’t tip a buck or two and good luck getting drink #2 and so on …

Yes, please bring back the Seuss at Sea Breakfast! Dear Granddaughter is really looking forward to this, at the end of November. It’s her 1st cruise and if she likes it, mom told dad, there will be more! Happy kid = happy parents. :)

Disappointed the bottled drinks are gone. Chock ‘’em up to the 1,000 cuts…

That’s awful. Hope everyone’s ok. Nothing good can come from this….

OP: if it’s the 1st weekend in November…it is Lone Star Rally time. There will be 400,000+ motorcycles in Galveston. Plan ahead for that weekend.
