Ok, so no special drink menu? 

So, last time I was in Vista they still has the casino bar and drink service was great. Now that the bar has been removed where fo servers get the drinks? Was curious as to which menu to look at prior to trip.

I ordered the 6 pack of coke as soon as I saw it, its now not on my purchased list. I used to work for PepsiCo and they would definitely have a no compete clause. Maybe carnival is in negotiations w coke

I'm back in my cabin now, and pretty much done for the night... The earplugs are about to go in, and I hope that I can get to sleep in a reasonable amount of time. Insomnia is one of those things that you just can't understand until you've experienced it. Even with all the different things I take to help me sleep, every night is a crap shoot. Once I do get there, I'm hoping to go on some kind of adventure that can only be projected inside my head. If I could ever figure out how to convert my dreams onto the movie screen, I would overtake all the greatest Hollywood film makers with the twisted tales that only I can see... 

 

Good night, and I just want to thank you all again for being here.........

I truly know the beast that's insomnia, I take Lunesta w trazadone and most nights it's good, but if I wake at 2am and start thinking about work, it's over. I envy ppl who can go right back to sleep.

Is a Bet 5 a $5 bet?

I love the sushi restaurant and Jijis, the Italian and steakhouse, I budget for all. Can't wait for Jubilee where I'll try Rudi seafood, Emeril restaurant and whatever else is new!

We have a week long Carnival cruise booked for October 2023, booked it sometime last year with an Early Saver sale. This would have been my first cruise. The in-room liquor was great since we would have to buy Cheers for both of us, even though my spouse doesn't drink. Also, I spent significantly more to book a larger cabin/suite with the intention of mixing drinks and sitting on the balcony away from the crowds.

 

As far as the post pandemic cutbacks, I don't care about not having bacon every day, nor do I care about Guy's fries, lower quality food in the MDR, or not having half price fishbowls, but not having in-room liquor is a problem.

 

I will not spend nearly the cost of the entire cruise for a Cheers package that only one of us will use, nor will I go back and forth from the bar to my room, spending $10-15 every time I want a drink. My vacation time is limited, I work hard for my money, and I would rather spend it on a vacation where I am free to mix drinks in my room like a grown adult.

 

Also, I don't think I would hit the 15 drink maximum, but it just seems like a real buzzkill to have your drinks counted on vacation.

 

We will most likely cancel the cruise because of this cutback.

All inclusive land vacations are cheaper.

I did email and they responded to me letting me know I had booked correctly w casino offer and my free play dollars and drinks on us are all verified! Thanks for your help! 

How can I tell which offer booking code I used when I made my reservation without having to call carnival.  Wanting to confirm my free pay money in casino. 

I did go the web page for players club to verify my offer, but nothing happens

I'll be joining you tomorrow on Vista!!

Solo is awesome - so much less stressful.   I'm going on Vista Saturday and there is alot of solo cruisers in our facebook group - so plenty of people to hang out with IF i want to, or i can just do my own thing.  

You will love cruising solo!!

Verifly is not accepting my emed test result qr code. I'm vaxxed and boosted so did proctor test this morning. So frustrated

Funny story - it was the FONT size on my phone that was too large in order for me to select SET when i was typing in my time of covid test.....i feel like such a bozo

I'm not putting much stock in Verifly, others have tried it and still needed to bring all the documentation. 

I'll bring printed. But on verifly it says 72 hrs do another covid attestation after upload of neg test.

They sent an PDF via email within a few minutes. I printed that out, and captured an image of it to upload to the Verifly app - which was accepted in under 10 minutes.

When I'm in Las Vegas in a couple weeks I am planning on lunch at Hell's Kitchen, or maybe dinner.  I think Beef Wellington is sounding very tasty!

It's awesome at Hells Kitchen did it last year!

So how does it know where you're traveling? Someone above posted about a flight out of the country. Creepy it 'knows'.  We have a cruise in 2 weeks, think I'll give it a try. Tip to Europe in June with my daughter, wonder if it would be useful at all, still waiting for the specifics on their 'green pass', etc and what we need to do. It's group travel, so the company will take care of what they can. Another cruise in July. I'll try it this time & see how it goes.

 

How do you upload test results? We'll be getting a paper from the Health Department. Take a picture?

 

 

You put in your carnival booking number and it links there w all guests 

Downloaded it and ready to use it to speed things up!

Well, I am done with the test and the result form looks good!

How is the collection time the same as the results reported time - proctored tests take 15 minutes - wouldn't that be 15 minutes after you collected the sample?  just curious as this is what i'll be doing in 2 weeks and didn't want Carnival to flag it - 

It's single use. So one person can do it online while other person does theirs online. Just don't knock over the test like video above did. He then had to start over w second test

Was on the last Vista cruise before covid, so what is this program? 

How much to budget in cash for food and drinks?

This is note I received 2 days after booking. I filled out the vaccine attestation immediately after booking. If you received a note that looks different, maybe you need to look into it more, but if it the same, I think everyone is getting this (and posting a thread like this!) Also, when you do the survey, make sure you scroll down - you have to fill it out for everyone with you, before it is finished.

That's the ail I got as well

I was able to select my date when I booked on Saturday for Vista. 

Called carnival yesterday on this issue. I edited and saved it again. Customer service was of no assistance to ease my anxiety

Unless I just missed something, this occurred without fanfare. The Carnival website now says smoking is allowed in the casino. Previously, smoking was banned completely. I am sure many smokers are happy. Personally, I was looking forward to being able to breathe in the casino and my hair and clothes not smelling like smoke!  

Can you post where this has changed?
