westwingjazz Posted March 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yes Carnival Cruise Line, you are the ultimate funship and favorite family cruise line; but, if you are going to raise your prices on us, here is what I expect: Bring back the red fruit punch :mad: Bring back the jazz lounges (not everyone likes Country line dancing and/or gospel rap) :rolleyes: And more importantly, if you are going to raise the price, then make sure the Calypso band at the pool plays from 10am-6pm daily :p This is what I expect. I would like other posters to chime in and tell CCL what they miss, should bring back, or simply add. I am thinking about sending this thread to them directly...

They should not discount the pricing for certian groups of people.People choose their ocupations and they are paid accordingly. Get rid of the towel animals and save our seas and no longer put bathrobes in any cabin. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel1733 Posted March 14, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Like towel animals are any big expense. Entertainment for guests one day and a bath towel the next. And then sell books on how to make the towel animals and make some revenue. Whats the downside. You can always tell your room steward not to waste their time on those for your room.

onthehighseas606 Posted March 14, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2010 How about some music other than steel drums playing on the Lido deck. How about some Blues bands playing in the bars. We would go and even buy drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelleywood Posted March 14, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 14, 2010 How about lowering the price of the pictures? Or not printing everything in the 8x10 size? I can assure you I'd buy twice as many pictures at 10.00 than I will at 19.95. And definately bring back the fruit punch. If I can't afford the soda card I at least want to drink something besides unsweetened tea and lemonade the entire trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno3 Posted March 14, 2010 #16 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Keep the bathrobes. Lower the prices on the photos, people would buy more. Keep the towel animals. More Calypso music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednose83 Posted March 14, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The towel animals are made from dirty towels. I made this gruesome discovery on my last cruise. I would like them to add a cafe like area like NCL's Blue Lagoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janan Posted March 14, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 14, 2010 If I am going to pay more I want ports that not every ship goes to....some of the less traveled Islands (Trinidad, Tobago, St Croix, San Blas ETC) I have no problem with Carnival keeping things on the ship as they are; BUT....If they can give people what they want without increasing their bottom line (They're travelling the carribean anyway) it's a win win for them! Give us a more creative itinerary...I have been to Cozumel (6 times love it but...) Grand Cayman (4 times can't stand it...no offense:D) SanJuan (3 or 4 times I forget which as a debarkation point, at one time cruise ships use to sail out of most of the Islands...what happened?) Aruba (6 times...l0ve it and if the rumors are true and you add Curacao I'll gladly go back I've only been to Curacao once about 15 years ago!) The only thing different I would like for my cruise dollar....now cruise dollar and a half; are more creative itinaeraries....show the rest what made you the best....give us some different Islands!!!!:cool: Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueG Posted March 14, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 14, 2010 One of the biggest changes I have noticed since my first cruise back in 1996 is the crew seems to have to work so much harder. I do not enjoy watching them rush around constantly trying to get their jobs done. I stopped asking for anything from the crew my past few cruises because I just feel bad for them. When profits increase again, they need to ease up the work load of the crew. In doing so, it will make my cruise much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imnance Posted March 14, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Here's my thing. I hate 8x10 or larger photos. I L -O -V- E 5x7s. I'd buy more photos if I could select the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
