 phone once on the ship or at the actual restaurant.

You can also use your cabin phone to make any reservations.

Not everyone will carry cash.

Having $100 in fives come in very handy both ashore and on board.  Taxi...porters....cabin and bar attendants all will accept and appreciate your generosity.  

Buy your jewelry from a local trusted jeweler.   You will have local recourse if you have any issues.  Are you saving any money....probably not.  

You used to order decorated cake in Cherry on Top...one of their kiosk shops.   I would check there it they still have one.

The app is not getting good reviews.....maybe one day.

 Also do I have to carry CPCP machine on ship or can I put in luggage.

I wouldn't let out of my sight along with my RX prescriptions.

Rum and Pepsi?

Truthfully, anyone drinking rum is not ordering it for the cola.

so I am not bouncing off the walls from the caffeine - lol!

My at home personal favorite is Bubly orange or grapefruit, which both are caffeine free.

I will check with Verizon to see what they 

San Juan is no charge using Verizon since it is a US covered area.  

How can I block a subject and/or member?

 I think we've all worked with that person.

Same person who would try to reheat their broccoli and fish from last evening's MDR go box.

I didn't think you could get service twice a day....that's doubling up on covid spread....no thanks 🙂

If you are cleaning your own cabin, you get to choose how many times it will be cleaned.  Just don't go outside your cabin.....there are dangerous germs and people out there.  

Has CCL introduced any new NA drinks, cocktails, beers?    Also, are any of the NA drinks included with Bottomless Bubbles?   Thx

Sorry you are having to go through this.  

Just curious why you are apologizing.....or did you have something to do with "land side" bacon shortages and price increases.....??  😅

Pre-Covid, I was on a sailing where HALF of our ports were cancelled

 

 

Bad weather has cancelled many port dockings over my 30 years of cruising.  The captain of the ship has the final decision.

. Carnival is refunding everyone's Cabo excursions and giving out a puny $50 OBC per cabin.

Read the fine print of your cruise contract. I would take the 50 bucks and go buy a nice bottle of wine

Nice equivalent, comparing toilet paper and Carnival stock.

OK...how about we compare it to filet mignon.  When they have a lower price we will buy more.   I know I would.

Maybe those no longer getting OBC  (and dividends) are selling off their shares.

The stock market works like a grocery store sale. When the price of toilet paper goes down,  As in a sale, we don't stop buying toilet paper we buy more toilet paper

Purchasing a GoPro on board sounds like a good idea but what are you going to do when you return home after 6 weeks and something goes wrong with it?  Buy from a local trusted dealer....or  even Amazon.

When you look thru the ship names they are listed as Carnival Panorama, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Radiance, Carnival Sunrise, etal but when you get to Mardi Gras and they list is only as Mardi Gras.   Any idea why?  

.....but....but....can my paper copy of Fun Times take pictures?   LOL  

They still have those?    Thought those has gone the wayside of ice sculptures and midnight buffets.

I would like to bring my own water kettle. Does anyone know from experience if the power in the room has enough current to support one? 

You can take one...but you will have to pick it up at the "naughty table" when you disembark.  The staff will carefully retain your property until the end of the cruise.

If that is what you like to do. Fine. I will not double tip. A land steak house does not collect the tip first as Carnival does.

AND THEY WORK harder than most of us would ever dream of.   They deserve every penny they receive.
