Nvm i just saw the above picture lol

This is my first sailing as a platinum cruiser. I thought this whole time that priority debark had stopped. How does it work, do you get your own line or can you just get off earlier?

Yeah they seemed to take a vacation from all their parenting responsibilities. Honestly though, I think that did have alot to do with how bad it was. That was more than likely alot of families first trip post covid so the kids were unleashed and the parents just let them loose for lack of a better term.

There were so many unsupervised kids on this cruise out of NYC. I've never seen anything like it in the 12 times I've cruised on Carnival.

I say "child" but he was 16. And he wasn't missing as much as he was terrorizing the ship. The kids aunt put a post up in our FB group saying how good of a kid he was and she thought he was just staying in friends cabins but now they can't find him etc etc. She immediately got roasted, one person claims he saw the kid steal a blue scooter and ride it all through the casino. She didn't contact security until the 3rd day according to her own account. The post got taken down because she was getting lit up for being a terrible guardian

They had it on the Magic until 2pm in July

I reached out to John Heald after our horrible experience on the Magic in July. Just to make him aware about whats going on and he said that they have done this. Not sure i believe him but that was his answer

We will be leaving on the Mardi Gras next week on 9/10. This booking was made in late 2017 and was cancelled so many times that we lost count (1st being for my wife being pregnant and then the rest to covid). We were talking yesterday and it dawned on us that this was supposed to be our 10 year wedding anniversary trip. Is it to late to add a special occasion to the booking online or could I maybe tell guest services when we boarded? This is just very much needed and it would be nice to make it extra special. Thanks!

The video they took wasn't of them beating my friends kid up. They were trying to force him to say racial slurs on video to get him in trouble. He's 11, they were teenagers.

They didn't take video of them beating the kid up. Its hard to explain, they were trying to force him to say a certain bad word on camera to try and get him in trouble and he wouldn't do it.

Ok thank you

We had kids spitting on people, damaging Carnival property, bullying other kids, stealing property, one kid went missing for two days in our group, another one got drugged and had to go to the medical center, i even saw a girl throw her lollipop at a security guard. As much as i agree with the curfew that's not going to do much. A group of kids bullied my friends 11 year old (who is also handicapped) by making fun of him, beating him up, videoing him and locking him in a bathroom. When security went to the parents they got the "my kids would never do that" routine. This is learned behavior and is a product of terrible parenting. A 1am curfew is not gonna stop bad parenting

No...but everyone else is...probably because the title of the thread is "Under 18 curfew". Read much?

I am very well aware of the Tyre Sampson story. I was actually supposed to go on that a month before he had passed but we could not find parking. I would not compare the two but thanks for the opinion.

I'm going on the Mardi Gras for the first time next week. Id love to go on Bolt but i read that they had pretty strict restrictions. I'm 6ft5 and over the last several weeks Ive recently lost over 20lbs i still wont be under the 300lb mark when we sail (probably around 320lb). I did the sky bike awhile back with no issues at all. Ive also gone on some roller coasters for years (Joker at SFGA for example) that i exceeded a height or weight limit on and had no idea because nobody told me or enforced it. Has anyone gone recently that can speak to this? Do they still have the scale and are they still strict about it? Thanks in advance

Should be earlier imo. Ive never been one of those people that has any issues with kids on board but what i saw on the Magic out of NYC completely changed my outlook. Seriously eff those kids

I thought they announced that it was coming back soon. Guess i was wrong 😞

Thats actually the most accurate response on this thread LOL! I just cruised with someone who went on her first Carnival sailing and she was getting emails for $75 cruises before she even got off the ship.

Did she do alot of gambling on her cruise?

This scared me since we are cruising in two weeks and i booked the first night for the bottle of wine lol! I was gonna say we sailed a month ago and i got the free bottle of wine

We are a couple of rooms outside the family harbor on deck 4 on the Mardi Gras. Do you need wristbands to get or are they not real strict? Just asking because we have a toddler who may walk by and want to pop there if he sees kids playing. Hes very sociable

Oh awesome thank you. I heard places were opening back up for dinner but wasnt sure

Thanks!

Not all of them have it. Out of all the ships ive been on, ive only seen it on the Sunshine.

Question about ChiBang. I see that its additional money for dinner but its not in the specialty dining section of the website. Do you know much they charge for dinner?
