  1. I don’t know which lines still offer traditional dining, but I think you’re more likely to make friends if you are assigned to sit with the same people night after night.
  2. I find kneeling uncomfortable. But not painful. That doesn’t sound normal. What is your surgeon’s opinion?
  3. I saw a picture posted here within the last week of a cruiser with a Lagunitas IPA in each hand. It’s all I have seen on menus posted on CC. I had never tried one so I bought a six pack and read Beer Advocate reviews. It’s a solid 3.8-4.0 out of 5. AFAIK, there are no other IPA choices, assuming you’re sailing here in North America. At least you’re not hoping for a decent porter or stout. Then you’d be SOL.
  4. That would be nice if true for my 3/2 Caribbean Princess sailing. The desserts mean nothing to us, so a $10 credit would be $200 compensation for losing the juice bar, which seems more than fair.
  5. Solution: change the word “duck” to “canard” on the menu and at least 100 people will order it, thinking it’s a type of fish.
  6. Don’t you have to use it every time you order a drink? I plan to give mine a workout.
  7. Glad to hear noise isn’t an issue. I’m over the casino next cruise. I’m sailing on the Caribbean Princess 3/2. Coincidentally, my cabin is on the Emerald deck. I can try asking my cabin steward what’s in the white space.
  8. I don’t know. But it is over “Club Fusion” which sounds noisy to me.
  9. I have done that. I may not have understood, but I thought it only applied to the MDR. Does this info go into my record so that for example, a bartender would make me a White Russian with non-dairy milk without me asking? I’m sort of expecting that I’m on my own at the bars and buffet.
  10. If I want to make an iced coffee at the buffet, does anyone know how easily I can obtain non-dairy milk of some sort? I’m not fussy about which, just don’t want the lactose.
  11. Mine took 3 days or less. Might have been the following day but based on the email, I didn’t look right away.
  12. This press release is the first time I’ve seen a limit of 2 on juices/smoothies. Bad enough they’re 5 ounces. Now I see I’m entitled to no more than 2 for free.
  13. I don’t picture them tracking stock transactions to see if you’re cheating. Assuming my name was John Smith, there would be a major hassle every time someone with the same common name sold shares. I’m hanging on to mine for now. It was purchased at a reasonably low cost and I expect to cruise on CCL brands again in the future. But I’m pretty sure I could dump it right now and not lose my OBC for a March sailing.
  14. I recommend using the downdetector app to see whether others are having difficulties as well.
  15. Service Temporarily Unavailable Is all I ever see.
  16. The man obviously took his MDR dress code advice from Joe Cocker’s interpretation of the Randy Newman song* * obscure reference of the day.
  17. We are on the Mar 2 sailing and this is probably the best information you have passed on. I mean, it’s all been valuable, but I sure hope she hasn’t run out of the blood orange syrup before I get there.
  18. So, if it gets quiet after 10 PM, check to see if the life boats are still attached.
  19. It looks incomplete. I don’t see any bourbon. And Princess says they stock Woodford Reserve, among others.
  20. It sounds like he is both Itchy and Scratchy.
  21. We are on the Caribbean next month. So far I can spot 2 possible formal nights out of 10, but not much else. 28 days out. I wonder if we will see tropical 🌴. I have loads of appropriate shirts.
  22. They need to promote who ever is in charge and move them to the IT department.
  23. Thanks. I found it. It took less than 3 business days to appear.
  24. I bought 100 shares of CCL and emailed paperwork to Carnival. I got an automatic acknowledgment back. I know it could take several weeks to receive my OBC. The app and website being a little hard to negotiate, somewhat less than intuitive, can someone tell me how to see any OBC on my account? My OCD brain tells me to check daily until it appears (somewhere).
  25. I’ll try them all before judging. But they’re a smidge over 5 ounces. If you want to fortify one at a nearby bar, you’ll need a taller glass.
