DKane Posted January 30, 2010 #377 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I suspect not... We saw an email from Carnival that indicated that Miami would be the first port to implement it, followed by the rest of the ports... Hi, So is it right to assume that it won't be implemented by the 2/6/10 sailing from Port Canaveral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunu Posted January 30, 2010 #379 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Mach can you ask someone at Carnival if there are any plans in the future to scale back the size on one of their new ships or are they going to stick with the bigger is better philosophy?

I'll be glad to. Folks will be back in the office early next week and I'll make a few inquires. I'm betting that we'll see at least one additional Dream Class before we see anything else. The tough part about it is that it doesn't cost that much more to move a Dream Class ship through the water than it does a Fantasy Class... Scaling back the size of the ship would require higher fares and likely higher prices on board... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how a new, smaller, more expensive cruise would do for Carnival if they offered one? Especially to attractive ports? I bet it would be a home run, but it ain't my money building it... (and I know they have the other lines for that but it'd still be interesting to see) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted January 30, 2010 #382 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hey Mach, New Orleans has started removing bottles that are in checked luggage. This is from someone who works at the port. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskier Posted January 30, 2010 #384 Share Posted January 30, 2010 When did this start? My friend at the port didnt give me a date but it was said in the past tense "they have started". I would assume that it was the Jan 28th sailing as that was the last time the ship was in NOLA. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent_Schultz Posted January 31, 2010 #388 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Alcohol has always been prohibited....and confiscatable. :rolleyes: Not. Passengers bringing liquor on the ship has been prohibited in modern times - on US cruises. You can still bring a bottle of wine on the ship.

sailor44 Posted February 1, 2010 #392 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Mach, Is there any way to find out which ships have piano bars that are non-smoking? I would definitely like to plan a cruise based on this (realizing that it could change :() Thanks! Hi, John Not even the Carnival Dream is completely smoke free in the piano bar. I'll ask and post the answer here. :) Hi Mach, Anything back from Carnival? Maybe I should post the question on John's blog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted February 1, 2010 Author #393 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Mach, Anything back from Carnival? Maybe I should post the question on John's blog? Nothing yet... I'm thinkin' I should ask the Director of Onboard Entertainment... Let me give that a shot... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyce&bob Posted February 1, 2010 #395 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Leaving on Saturday on the Liberty & need to know if you purchase a soda card does this include diet sprite????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-n-Rita Posted February 1, 2010 #396 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Leaving on Saturday on the Liberty & need to know if you purchase a soda card does this include diet sprite????? Yes it does and diet Coke too. They are served in glasses and unless you drinks about 10-12 glasses a day, it is cheaper to just buy the soda and forget the card. Another cheaper way is bring a water bottle and those diet crystal light singles to put in them. Ice tea, water, coffee tea and non diet lemonade are free. We also found that sometimes, especially during the day, it was hard to find a bar open to use the soda card. Found myself running all over the ship to find the one bar open to get a soda off my card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_crazy68 Posted February 1, 2010 #398 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Still cheaper to bring on a 6 pack or two in your carry on. We dont drink that much soda so we carry on 2 sux packs of bottled soda whatever flavor we want. And with it being bottles we dont have to drin the whole thing at one time.

stargazingjess Posted February 1, 2010 #399 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Mach! I've seen you post statistics about staterooms - size of the room and balcony, what type of beds are in it, etc. Can you share that website link so I can look at my room for my upcoming cruise? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_crazy68 Posted February 1, 2010 #400 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Mach, I have called Bon Voyage 4 different times and have gotten 2 different answers 2 times each. LOL Was wondering if you can tell me if on the ship or thru Bon Voyage if the Coors Light comes in aluminum cans or the plastic bottles? I know it seems trivial but DH doesnt like to drink from the cans so we were trying to figure it out first. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
