Got back from a cruise on the Sunshine about three weeks ago.

I sent CCL a message to their comments section on their website about a problem I had on my cruise.

That was about two weeks ago and I have not heard back from them.

Does CCL ever respond? If not, what is the best way to reach out to them about my complaint?

Thanks PG

That is great news, I have not heard that!!!

Its just a shame we wasted all that extra money on a balcony we did not get to use.

Thanks!

PG

Over 20 cruises under my belt, never really had a bad one and have cruised CCL many times.

However, just back from the Sunshine and the smokers that surrounded our balcony ruined our balcony experience.

Morning, noon, and ALL night they were out there smoking, and smoking, and smoking some more.

There was so much smoke it even seeped into our room.

We called and were told there was nothing to be done about it. We were told, "it was their right to smoke on the balcony."

Well where were my right not to be exposed to smoke 24 hours a day for seven days?

I can tell you moving forward if I have a choice I won't sail any line that allows smoking on the balcony again. And I just noticed on the news yesterday that NCL won't allow smoking on the balconies anymore.

I am not an anti smoker, but I don't believe your right to smoke should infringe on my rights to breath clean air.

Did you use your email anywhere else while you were on the cruise?

No I just checked into my E mail as I always do and boom the spam has started and not stoped.

If you use the computers on CCL ships beware I think CCL is selling your E mail name.

Just sailed the Sunshine last week.

Normally I get only about 3 to 5 spam E mails a day.

First day after I used the computers online I had about 35 spam e mails and have been have the same volume of about 35 to more spam E mails everyday since.

Has anyone else experience this?

PG

I know this has been asked like a zillion times but how many bottles of wine can an adult carry on the ship?

Thanks!

Oh no, leaving on the Sunshine in about three weeks, but have been busy with work and life and have done NOTHING to prepare...

Going to Disney for two days before the trip but have not booked the hotel, in fact I don't even have plans to get to Disney from the airport.

Don't even have plans to get from Disney to PC.

Don't have anything booked on the ship yet to do.

Going back to Disney for one day after the cruise, no hotel booked or don't even know how to get there.

Don't have hotel booked at Disney or way back to the airport yet.

I am a mess, help.

PG

I live in NO and have sailed CCL many times, get to the pier at about 10:55 and you will be onboard by about 12 noon.

PG

What one piece of advice would you give me about cruising?

Thank you,

PG

Port Canaveral hotels, whats best for kids with best pool?

Thanks!

How much is this trip on CCL? Should I just book on the ship?

My wife worked in jewelry sales for many years and know jewelry.

Jewelry on cruise ships and islands are not fine quality and often not what they say they are.

Nothing cheap is of quality and nothing of quality is cheap.

PG

Where is the best site to get island and tour info since I am not allowed to ask here ???

Thanks!!!!

I live in NO and the weather this Sunday will be grand, go do a tour of the quarter and eat an Easter buffet at one of the big hotels, have a great day!!!

How much is the drink package

Thanks!!!

Do the Disney cruise, your kids are the perfect age for Disney cruise, my kids loved Disney and think of it as one of their favorite cruises but won't go again because they are to old now.

I live in NO and CCL always moves ships into and out of NO every year or so.

It makes sense, NO draws a lot of the cruisers from within a day or two's drive.

Most (not all) like to experience new CCL ships so by moving new ships into the NO market they got a lot of repeat customers like my family.

We have cruised the Tropical (one of my favorites) The Celebration, The Inspiration, The Triumph and The Conquest out of NO, if CCL had left the same old ship we would never have cruise that ship over and over.

Whats funny is we are flying to PC this June 28th for a cruise on the Sunshine when it has been in NO for the past year or so.

PG

Hotel suggestions for Port Carnival near the pier where the Sunshine leaves?

Thanks - PG

Final payment due Monday, can I get an extension?

Thanks!

PG

A lot of free stuff from all the cruise lines are being sold on Ebay!

I don't think those towels are free, I think most of them are stolen.

CCL moved the Sunshine out of NO because thats what they do all the time, it attracts people from a driving distance to come and sail on a new ship. I live in NO and have been on about 10 CCL ships over the years.

I would never have sailed on the same ship ten times, its part of their marketing campaign to attract repeat business to new ships in NO, I love it when they change ships.

I was just doing some searching on Ebay for Carnival items and kept coming across Carnival Cruise line pool and beach towels, the blue ones with the Carnival name or ship image on them, for sale on Ebay.... odd, must be the chair hogs selling them.

PG

Sorry but I won't wait forty minutes if deck chairs just have towels in them, I move them and use the chairs now. Now if a chair has personal items in them I won't touch them just in case the person is in the pool, bathroom, getting food, etc....

We believe every cruise is what we make it.

Well I bet the people on the Titanic, The Costa Concordia, and The Triumph would disagree with this.

PG

As the OP we have made up our mind and are going to stay on the Sunshine, the kids really want the water features and ports this ship goes to.

Thanks to all.
