That’s all I do, and there were many of them. On the last night I also do this to grab some envelope money for room stewards, club staff, and a couple of my favorite servers throughout the week get a little extra pocket money. I got pick pocketed about 10 years ago in Miami so I don’t bring more than a couple dollars and use the room charge on slots as my personal atm and pay it back to the cc company when I get home.

Just got off Carnival Celebration and after a rough start because of the port issue I have to say I finally felt that I didn’t get nickel and dimed for everything. I have cruises NCL Disney and Royal but never Carnival. Besides the room charge for the casino( that was a bit much but hey when in Rome) the only thing I had to pay for was the bolt. And why not when do you get to ride a coaster at sea! I had the cheers package and it included all my coffees, milk shakes, and alcohol. My wife said my attitude on the first morning was completely different with my cold brew instead of mud coffee. Granted I haven’t cruised since a cancellation because of real bitterness about the 9 month refunds on Ncl during covid, I have never had anything included on alcohol packages except alcohol. Maybe that’s the new norm across the industry but man was I happy. When it comes to the celebration itself there are so many options for food you have no reason to pay extra for Fahrenheit or Emeril unless you’re trying to escape the kids. Guys burgers are delicious and the food truck options are an excellent idea in my opinion. Pig and Anchor was mostly hit with 1 day an over seasoned brisket lit my but up with heat but 1 day is nothing. I didn’t even have a chance to try Chibang because there’s not enough stomach on the human body to eat that much. Really my only negative comment would be the central theater is not enclosed and in-front of the sushi, stores, and other restaurants and bars as well as the casino on the 7th so dings are audible when the doors open. It’s nearly impossible to hear dialogue from the circus show. But other than that well done CCL.

I got off this morning and we had amber cove and San Juan delayed but given a little extra time at ports. But as you stated when not in port we were Hauling. With speeds that fast and some rough weather Monday-Wednesday I expected some complaints on board but the ship is so large you really did not notice honestly. The last 2 days at sea we travelled at a very leisurely pace.

I just got off the Celebration, no coin pushers they replaced it with claw machines that “attempt” to pick up packs worth 100 200 or 500. 5 dollars for 5 attempts.
