DOU everywhere, Free cabins booked: 2 deluxe Ocean view, 1 interior, 2 aft balconies, 1 ocean suite. Not much free play. $1200-$1500 per cruise, 2-3 hrs. per day average (7 days), Slots, bet middle $ range, (not .80- not $5). I earn 4000-13000 points per cruise. Now you know. Good luck

DITTO for Galveston Departures

They don't ACT like they're burning them. The wait staff actually keeps coming back for more, about every 10-15 minutes. (I don't drink that fast). The Wal-Mart in Galveston took a couple and didn't blink. I do understand some people will disparage the idea because it wasn't theirs.

I bring along a stack of $2 bills, never without a drink. I'm not sure if it's the amount or novelty of the bill.

This subject has been clear as mud since the restart.

Be careful about what you gripe about. We had this type of thread a few months ago about biscuits and gravy, haven't seen it on the Lido since. I think we touched a nerve with someone in Florida.

I would rather BE a good liver than HAVE one

YES, have an adult occupant go to Guest Services and as for a ROOM KEY ONLY, (no financial privileges).

My favorite will always be Gary Hunter (M.S. Jubilee). He WAS the "fun squad".

I went from Platinum to Diamond on the last day of a cruise a few weeks ago. My documents all showed Diamond, but my card was platinum. On the last day of the cruise, at the "suggestion" of my DW, I went to guest services and they printed my Diamond card. Not sure how it is supposed to work, but I was treated diamond with a platinum card the entire cruise.

We are Diamond and sailed from Galveston 6 times since last summer. We have 10 AM boarding time, and are generally in the "Carnival Corral" by that time, on board the ship around 11:15.. The nice lady who checks our passport in the terminal says the cabin will be ready for us when we board, but we know better than try to access the cabin before noon. We go muster, find a bite on the lido, a couple of Fun Ship specials, then head to the cabin to DROP OFF carry on stuff. We know the cabin is in process, so we put our stuff in an empty closet and sneak out. If the cabin key is in the mailbox, the cabin is ready. If not, it's Funship Special time (again). Our room Stewards have NEVER given us the stink-eye for dropping off carryons.

I will turn Diamond on the last day of my upcoming cruise. Boarding pass and luggage tags all indicate Diamond. Waiting to see what color card I receive.

Not sure which ship ? Some ships have the pasta restaurant open on embarkation for lunch.

Must be a Platinum or Diamond, Smoker with the Cheers package.

BUT ? Can he make biscuits and gravy?

Try backing out of the Carnival website, then go back in. Next choice is try another computer.

Vista last week - Unlimited

Sunset is earlier than early dining. You won't be able to see out the windows anyhow.

Then shown on room TV the rest of the day. (Vista, Dream, 2022)

Is the fitness center on Dream open to all passengers, without purchasing a spa package?

Returned from the Dream today. I guess we struck a nerve with someone in Florida. I breakfast dined at "The Gathering" Lido every day for 8 days, No biscuits and gravy any day. I really wish they would bring them back in a new form.

All these changes have yet to upset me. I'll eat Spam & eggs if that's what it takes to cruise. I have gone to bed many times without an ice cream snack. I've tried the tap water in the cabin, yummy. Need me to wash my own dishes? No Problem. Need me to take my turn rowing in the basement? Post the schedule. Put my toes in the sand, rum punch in my hand, under a palm tree would be grand. I get to watch the full moon rise, from my balcony, on Monday and Tuesday next week, for no extra charge. Let's all just cruise. Make the best of great situation. (No Shorts in the MDR after embarkation day, Please.)

About the only way to make the bread discs (toast) edible is to put a healthy tablespoon of butter, then the "gravy". The "biscuits" are like the jars on top of the buffet line, Decoration. If you try to crumble them to soak up the "gravy", they turn to powder. I snicker to myself every time I see those biscuits on a ship sailing from Texas.

Different Companies: Carnival = Bacardi & Pepsi, Ship Of The Seas = Capt. Morgan & Coke

The major cruise lines are all affiliated with the CLIA, domino effect will play out before the end of the week. JMHO
