I had this problem last summer.  I had to call them.  And call them.  And call them.  It was exasperating but they finally took care of it.

It's been open kinda late the times I've been on a ship with one. Last month it was open till 10 or 11.  

I wish it had been open later on our cruise.  It looked like a nice, relaxed, casual dinner option, but, POOF!  It was closed.  

Thank you, everyone, for your insights.  Lots of helpful information.

Hello.  I have never cruised Holland America.  I was wondering if Spring Break would have an impact on this line?  More crowded?  More kids?  More COLLEGE drinkers?  Thanks.

Thank you all for your most helpful insights.  Much appreciated!!

Hello.  I have only ever cruised on Carnival, and only during the busy summer months.  I now have an opportunity to possibly cruise in the spring.  I'm curious if it will be as busy as summer due to spring break??  AND, would spring break pretty much be mid March through end of April?  AND, would a line without a kids program be less crowded during break time?

Thanks in advance.

Are we there yet?  Are we there yet??  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  Some of us never grow up.  Safe travels!

I know that when we were in Cozumel pre covid, we went to Chankanaab, and they were offering outside massages there.  I don't know the prices.  sorry.

Thank you.  It worked!

• Hi.  Returned from cruise on the Valor.  I wanted to go on line and rate the excursions we took through the ship, but I can't figure out how to get there and rate it.  Can anyone help?

It's not just Cruise Critic, it's forums in general, sans reddit. Forums were a big thing back in the 90's and '00s. I have administered many forums over the years and have seen them all fade away into antiquity. They are just becoming a thing of the past. Everything has moved to various social media outlets over the past 10'ish years.

I wish this forum was available on social media so I could view it with the cheap wifi plan on the ship.....

Oh, they only serve drinks with flavored candy straws now, which can melt before you are finished drinking the beverage. 

They were candy???  I didn't like the way they felt in my mouth.  In this case, no straw was better than this straw.  Still, had a great cruise 😉

REGARDING NO SMOKING IN THE CABINS:  huh???  multiple times the smell of marijuana drifted into our cabin from ??? no idea.  but someone was smoking.  makes me kind of nervous... can't they just buy gummies???

We investigated the late night fare on Valor last week.  It was not Carnivals greatest success.  The hot dogs had buns that were dry and burned.  The pizza SAID Chicago style, but.... not really.  I appreciate that they put something out for those times you need a snack, but I just was not interested.

Hello everyone.  Just returned from a fun sail on the Valor to Cozumel and Progreso.  Loved the cruise but I was surprised that there were no loyalty gifts.  Last cruise, at the same level of Gold, we received a free drink on the last night and a bottle of water at the beginning of the trip.  Did that fall by the wayside??  Certainly won't make or break the trip, just wondering.  I wish this site was available on the Social plan.  Thanks all!

thanks, everyone.  I don't know how I missed the FAQ regarding it...  thank you!

Wondering about this smile and go technology on Carnival.  thoughts??  experiences?  thank you

that is awful!!   I am disappointed to hear that such a large, established airline had absolutely no regard for their paying customer.  

Hello.  Flying into New Orleans for the first time.  Hotel, near the convention center, tells me there are no hotel shuttles anymore.  What is the best (and safest?) way to get to our hotel from the airport.  thank you!

hmm... I know GF is gluten free, and V is vegan, but what is the P???  thanks

thank you!

Hello.  I am attempting to check in on line and am about 1/3 of the way done.  The Whale Tail  just keeps spinning.  Is it normal for the procedure to stall or have I done something wrong????  thank you

back to those room service charges???  I can't remember.... is the charge put on the sign and sail card?  or do we pay cash??  Or, was it sign and sail for the charge, but tip in cash???  too long since I have cruised....  thank you

Hello.  I am looking at the excursions offered for our upcoming cruise and I notice that almost everything offers some kind of food:  street food, Mayan food, beach food, Mexican food, etc.  I don't remember EVERYTHING offering food on other cruises.... Is it safe to eat everywhere now???  I thought street food used to be discouraged???  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

Excellent!  thanks!

Hello, all.  Wondering about the current Muster Drill situation.  Are we back to the in person, stand and listen?  Or have they remained virtual post covid.  Thanks!
