Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Even if this was true, Carnival knows the "American Buffet Model" (they have it on other ships). How hard would it have been when they were renovated the ship to make it more manageable like their other ships?
  2. This is an excellent point that I haven't seen before. Cruise lines complain about food waste and have gone as far as charging for additional entries and many complimentary Main Dining Rooms but they "encourage" people to overload plates because no one wants to wait in long lines (especially if they have to do it several times with multiple family members). I took 2 Carnival Cruises in October. No issues in the Buffet, just visited the station of food I wanted. Hopefully Carnival will get their act together by the time I sail on the Venezia this October.

  4. Hello, We sail on this ship in October. I've heard numerous horror stories about the lines in the Buffet and seen lots of videos to support this. I guess the Buffet area/lines was designed very poorly? Has anyone who has sailed recently noticed an improvement in this situation? Thanks
  5. We (Nancy and John) are doing a 12-day cruise on the Carnival Venezia in October. Now that several sailing have happened I have questions on these sailings: 1) What Complimentary restaurants/food are currently onboard? 2) Are the Buffet lines as bad as everyone says or have they improved? 3) What shows, activities and attractions are on board? 4) Are menus and/or the Fun Times printed anywhere online? 5) Are there any meetups or Group activities planned ? Thanks
  6. Does anyone know of any meetups onboard? Where is everyone staying the night before?
  7. Looks like you can walk to the beach in St Thomas, St Maarten and Barbados so that will take care of 3 islands. It's a longer walk (we have done it twice) to the beach in St. Lucia but it is doable (little over a mile) so that only leaves Dominica that we will have to do an excursion.
  8. Looking for places to stay in NY for a 2023 Carnival Cruise.
  9. We have sailed out of NY many times and have always booked a Park, Sleep and Shuttle Cruise package at a local hotel. Does anyone have any current deals and/or places that do this? This would be for an 12-day October Cruise out of NY on Carnival. Thanks, John
  10. We are also on the 12-day in October so I will be following this thread closely.

  12. Are there any specials on beer? Beer buckets? How much?
  13. Looking for a Beach or Snorkeling in Grand Cayman that is within walking distance of the Carnival Cruise Port?
