You don't have to see anyone.  I don't know if they still have the forms but you can purchase the FCD on the app.

Yes they still have FCD forms. You can fill one out and hand it to future cruise person on duty or  deposit it in the drop off box to be processed.

Once on board, you can check your app daily to see if there is any dinner time slot available at one of the three MDRs. Empty tables do come up for grab if people cancel or make changes to their dinner plan.

Carnival has better free options than Royal. Guys burgers, stir fry wok station, etc.

And the cakes at buffet.

Menu is pretty standard fleetwide. You can google the 2024 menu on youtube.

$1 deposit is about buying a future cruise option at little or no cost. What is there not to like?

Any day but the last sea day of the cruise. That is when many people would do their laundry before they pack up for the trip home.

When I was there last year, park ranger predicts Mendenhall Glacier will no longer be visible from visitor center in 10 years or less. Everyone should go and appreciate its natural beauty while you still can. 

Beautiful ships, low price, average food, ships mostly going to Caribbean only in N America. You also see a lot more passengers from S America and Europe. I would not hesitate to book MSC if the price is right.

Use your Princess app. Princess posts the daily ship activities on its app around 30 days before sailing. This should give you ample time to do your daily planning and dinner reservation based on what you see prior to your cruise.

Judging from the quick cancelation refunds processed by CCL these days, it appears its cash flow situation is in decent shape. 

This is public news and related to cruising. Is there a reason you feel it needs to be censored on CC?

What could go wrong?

CCR says Bad Moon Rising. Abba says SOS. Carol King says It's Too late. 

It could be that the TA was a crook or the entire group conspired with TA to enter Europe illegally. Who knows.

Older and smaller ships usually have lower cruise prices. Works for me. 

I cruised interior cabin many times. Nothing to it. Save money and you will get use to the cabin by Day 2 or 3.

Ocean Liquor Market directly across from San Pedro cruise terminal. 233 N Harbor Blvd A, San Pedro.

Walmart or Costco.

Wow smoking deal. I am so jealous.

Funny, whenever I see military with machine guns whether it be on a resort island or Grand Central Station in NYC, I feel safe.  

It's a question of who's holding the hardware and what are their intentions. The sight of firearms never bothers me.

Jamaica rum kicks butt. Haiti rum would probably kill you.

More competition means better pricing and choices. This will definitely be a plus to cruisers. 

Too many restrictions. No deal.

As I’ve already stated several times now. I’ve moved on. I’m going to be sure to drink lots and taste all sorts of food to get my value back, 😀

Like Aerosmith said : Don't Get Mad, Get Even. 

Cut your loss and take the $250 FCC on the table. Once you calm down, you can then decide if you want to give Princess a second chance.

One big improvement is the added ship piers. No more tendering like in years past.
