kr8z Posted April 24, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I've been having the same issues. I hope it comes back up, I love that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted April 24, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The site is for TAs only but had a back door (irman). Maybe they finally blocked it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted April 24, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2010 i'd be willing to bet that it has something to do with posts like these... :( as duck noted - it is for ta's only... but with the frequency with which people have readily posted links to it (or links to specific info therein), i'm sure they noticed that we had figured it out... and blocked it :mad: i guess, if that's the case, we're gonna have to make do with cruisedeckplans.com: http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/Main/CL-Carnival.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencercoop Posted April 24, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I noticed that yesterday too. I really hope it works again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted April 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2010 i'd be willing to bet that it has something to do with posts like these... :( I'd take that bet, because the way I found it was the link at the bottom of the regular Carnival.com site taking you directly to https://www.bookccl.com/irman/. It wasn't a mistake or a secret, Carnival knew it was there and provided a link to it. It's not like there was anything we weren't supposed to be able to see there. But now the link from carnival.com goes to a TA log-in page (http://www.bookccl.com/LogIn/default.asp), so I guess that means they don't want the regular public seeing it anymore for some reason. I tried the wayback machine website where you can see old historic webpages, (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php). I found a version of the page, sans graphics, but all the links appear to be dead so it's of no value: http://web.archive.org/web/20071009062109/http://www.bookccl.com/irman/ Hey, check this out: An old Carnival.com webpage from 1997. http://web.archive.org/web/19970716172455/www.carnival.com/oldindex.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arush5268d Posted April 26, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2010 They caught on and locked us out. Just like all the threads on smuggling - too much abuse and broadcast of the details ruins thins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosefloater Posted May 1, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The site is back up. At least thru the following links: Dining, Staterooms. The 2nd link is for the Paradise, but just substitute Paradise for the ship you are looking for in the address bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthworm Jim Posted May 11, 2010 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2010 They caught on and locked us out. Just like all the threads on smuggling - too much abuse and broadcast of the details ruins things. It is a site that TAs have to sign into in order to use for informational purposes. Someone found a back door to get in and people have been posting the link all over that is only for TAs. No, it was not a back door, and they didn't "catch on" to the fact that clicking a link right on the carnival.com site brought you to that page. Obviously they knew where the links on their own web page took users. It was right at the bottom of the Carnival home page listed under Travel Partners for all to see and use. It still is, actually. It just doesn't bring you to the same page as it used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCC retired Posted May 11, 2010 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yes, looks like the IRMAN site is no longer accessable. In fact , IRMAN was not designed even for for TA's to use .The site was originally for Carnival Inside Sales Reps (you know, those people who answer phone calls from TA's and don't always have the answer/correct answer). I (Inside),R (Representative),MAN (Manual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonerbaby Posted May 12, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The site has been working for me for a while now. I think it was just down a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flormija Posted May 12, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yep, says it's forbidden for me as well. Then, when I used the links provided by Rosefloater, Firefox crashed... Oh well, I guess I have to do without! Hope it comes back up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted May 12, 2010 #22 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Carnival has taken it down and it is very doubtful that they will return it. It is meant for internal use and they do not want the public to have access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been so frustrated with trying to find a website that has deck plans for the ships that can be printed out! I actually went out and bought a magnifying glass so I could use the deck plans in the Carnival books! This website is perfect so again thank you!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jks336 Posted May 12, 2010 #24 Share Posted May 12, 2010 just hate the fact you got to pay to see their diagrams. :( i posted in carnival that the site that was up was very helpful. they should have this part available for guests to see what actually is up with a room their looking at as carnivals does not give that detailed discription. havent seen anything yet produced fromthat post tho mischell said she'd forward that info to the "uppers" yeah, ok.. probably won't happen.

DanJ Posted May 12, 2010 #25 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The site is still there, they just changed parts of the URL. Go to this thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1199088 and there are some links to certain ships, and instructions how to look up other ships.
