gazingm42 Posted October 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2006 For years we could go to the purser desk and get a free deck of cards. We went on the Triumph this last week and were told that they don't do that. That we need to go to the casino and buy them. While understand the price of a deck of cards is not going break me. Is it just me or is carnival getting cheaper and cheaper in the little things like the cards and pens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkey1 Posted October 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yep, we tried to get cards on our last cruise and were told we could purchase them in the gift shop. We just spent the rest of the cruise using our NCL cards instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizePlease Posted October 17, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2006 We were in Costa Rica this past March in TORRENTIAL downpours... Lenny, our cruise director, was walking all over the ship handing out cards. Maybe because of the rain and the cancelled excursions? :confused: While I understand they used to be free and it would be disappointing if they stopped handing them out...how much can a deck of cards cost in the grand scheme of things? :rolleyes: Put them on your packing list! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkers22 Posted October 17, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2006 They sell the used decks in the casino. They are only 50 cents or a dollar, I can't remember. It's a neat souvenir too! No biggie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted October 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Is it just me or is carnival getting cheaper and cheaper in the little things like the cards and pens? ...of course they are getting cheaper, customer service is in the toilet, and it won't be long before you are having to insert a quarter to actually use the toilet...

nybumpkin Posted October 17, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This past year, we had no problems getting cards from the purser's desk on both Legend and Victory. They even gave us 2 decks on Victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
