Crusin Hogs

No different than our local buffets here , Went last night , I 'd say 150 people in the place , Mask are not required here , very few seen , No gloves and everything is self serve , Seating is  normal  as it was pre covid  , This is Arkansas , We are living life as normal  pre covid 

We use a PVP  , took me  less  than a minute to get her on the phone , Cancalled  a 14 day Journey  cruise   5 minutes max on the phone , It is all ways best to use a PVP  

from outside Texas /Arkansas / Oklahoma   area , Texas and surrounding states are mask free , This includes  hotels , restraunts , shops  , We have  concerts now , 100% open , sports events are 100% open and mask free ,It is your choice , if you want to wear one , I just wonder how those coming into Texas from states , still under mask and Vaccine requirements , will feel .. 

Booked a 7 day on The Mardi Gras  Knew nothing about this offer ,Our PVP asked if we wanted it , $140 for 2 people for the 7 days , We took it ,, Booked a 10th fl balcony room , taxes , grauitys  and cheers pack   just a little over $2400 for a total cost , We never get cheers , ,soda sticker sometimes , 3 -7 drinks the entire week on average , We are Platinum ,and this is the 1 st  offer we have ever gotten 

If you are buying the stock (100) shares just for the obc ,,Do what I did ,I bought 200 shares at  22.25   , Once it reaches 45-50 a share again I will sell 100 shares ,get all my $$  back that I invested today ,and Keep the remaining 100 shares ,free  for OBC for life 

I look for them to sell off the smaller ships ,before long ,,,

Boarding order is B2B, Weddings, Diamond, Platinum, Suites then FTTF, (then zone 1, zone 2, zone 3, etc)

 

FTTF guests can go straight to their cabins. Suite guests must wait until 1:30 like everyone else. They do not have the cabin ready nor do they have the priority line at guest services.

 

We always purchase FTTF with our suites until our next voyage when we turn platinum.

This is all correct

I was wondering if anybody deliberately shows up a little late for the safety drill.  We usually show up right when called, and then end up crammed behind three rows of people on a hot corridor waiting 20-40 minutes for stragglers.  On our last cruise, my Mother in Law (who is claustrophobic) passed out after 30 mins in these conditions, along with two other people in our section.  The “stragglers” showed up 35 mins late and got put right up front and basically spent less time in those miserable conditions than the “good” people who came right away.  I am thinking of waiting just inside the doors for 20 mins or so, so that we don’t get crammed in the back and wait forever for the drill to start.  I have never seen one start before this time anyway.  Has anyone else ever tried this?  I don’t want to be the last people that everyone has to wait on, but I also don’t want to subject myself to that experience again.  

Does not happen on the newer ships  Dream ,Magic ,Breeze ,Vista ,Horizon ,, We sit in A/C in the theater ,FR  ect , 1 reason we won't sail on the older ,small ships

And also suites and FFTF in the same place at the same time!

Last time on The Breeze and Vista ,, Once in DR Diamonds and Plats were lined up on 1 side , FTTF and  suites on the other side , Ones ok to leave ,Diamonds and Plats went 1st followed by  FttF and suites

Diamond and Platinum self assist actually go before other self assist

This is correct  , Diamonds and Plats meet in the  dining room on deck 3   You have to show your room card to enter 

Pepsi is offering a lot more choice  than Coke did

We will be on Liberty for the 4 day. Our Sea Day is our first full day and only Sea Day. So I'll get on as early as possible.  

Depends on your check in time , on your paperwork

I believe the no smoking ship wide for the Panorama during fueling in port , is due to it is fueled with LPG  instead of bunker oil ,, I could be wrong but I think I read that on here somewhere 

Have to be paid in full 45 days before the cruise sailing date 

They are about the same , same designer did both ,,The Breeze in the same class is different , It had a different designer , It is very nice ,,, 14 cruises , even on the newer ships , Breeze is the best of Carnival 

If you were on the Magic ,It was held inside ,Only the older Carnival ships still have muster outside , The  Dream ,Magic , Breeze ,Vista ,Horizon , Panorama  are all held inside 

Spa cabins are a lot quieter , Less traffic in the halls , The Dream Class ships , Breeze ,Magic and Dream have the best spas,,

For Dream class ships, Spa balcony cabin because of the thermal suite.

 

On any other ship, or if we can't get a Spa balcony on Dream class, then a Lido deck balcony. We love the convenience to the pool and dining options.

 

We're making an exception with our next cruise with an aft balcony. It's for Alaska, so we want to spend a lot of time on the balcony with the ability to retreat quickly and often into a warm cabin, plus we don't want to be limited to only seeing what's on one side of the ship.

I agree with this Sap  Cabins on the The Dream ,Magic and Breeze can't be beat

Ford VS Ferrari  and forget the other one 

CASH ,,They have no room for  gifts , They live 2 per cabin ,and their  cabin is  about 1/3 the size of passenger cabins ..

What ship were you on and what year? This is nothing like we heard about Princess. 

Caribbean Princess  around 2009-2010

Every morning on The Vista , I went to the drink station to the right of the big screen (outside) for coffee and juice ,, Nice place to sit watch the sun come up  drink your coffee and still be outside 

We are late 50's ,Tried them once  ,Funeral home at sea ,, Boring , stuffy crowd compared to Carnival ,,Love Boat was shown everyday on the big screen for several hours at a time ,9:30 to 10 PM  No one in sight in main public areas I got pictures of the lobby  , 3 floors no one in the pictures at all , I joked to my wife  , Time for the crew to roll up the carpets for the night ,, and announce bed time for everyone ,,   They do offer milk and warm  cookies every afternoon
