Coming to this thread late. Carnival is sailing full by and large. My last minute free cruise offers are nowhere near as plentiful as they were. That said it's really crappy they offered priority to suite guests but not VIFP. If there are too many people to have priority using their rubric (suites, VIFP diamond and platinum), then the only fair way to do it is nobody gets it. But Carnival doesn't ask us what is fair, they write the rules.

I know it's blasphemous...but what other sites are more active???
Ask uncle google, any posts referring folks to other websites here will get deleted.

Disney’s formal nights are “dress up optional”. Unlike pretty much every other cruise line, the buffets close during dinner service. Your options are dining rooms, specialty dining (at an extra charge and with an enforced dress code that you can read about on DCL’s site), or room service.

Compete and totally a miss. I was hoping it would be more in line like a midnight buffet. It’s like chicken fingers, fries, the usual chocolate chip Cookies and Super dried out old pizza.
As I mentioned, why use frozen yuck pizza when you have fresh baked pizza? In my thread I pondered the idea that Carnival was using the late-night barf cuisine as a test bed to see if they could get away with downgrading the overall food quality across the board. Bean counters can be lethal and toxic to the operation!
It's dollar tree food, absolutely disgusting stuff.
They don't need to use the late night snack buffet as a test bed, they've been cutting the food and service quality shipwide for years now.

Has anyone had any luck requesting a different room during check-in?
Our room is at the front of the ship. While it is not a deal breaker, I am curious if anyone has had any luck requesting a mid-ship room while checking in at the terminal?The ships sail full, by the time you get to the pier there will be no room to switch you to. If you want to switch rooms, call Carnival or your TA and ask about switching now.

They did have High Noon on Vista in April. Mio is great in vodka/soda - blueberry lemonade is my favorite.
Oh good, the last time I was on Carnival I didn't notice High Noon - just the Thirsty Frog seltzer and I think Truly. I like High Noon.

No Doubt the prices will continue to rise and rise. Now the Ports are charging the cruise lines a "cover Charge" to enter their boundaries. Pretty sure this will be my last cruise.
The nickle and diming is getting to be too much, that's for sure.

Their debt is not my problem.
You can bring on distilled water with your CPAP.
Otherwise, you are at the mercy of Carnival. It's $5.90 today - it might be $10 a gallon by the time you actually cruise. Carnival seems to be hiking the prices of everything they sell every few months here lately.
I have to admit I have seen a lot of cheerleading on here - but thanking Carnival for a price hike is a new one.

They carry seltzers (although I'm not sure if they're like High Noon which is vodka based or what), light beers like Michelob with low carbs, and of course you can always do two-ingredient drinks with zero carb mixers like Jack and Diet, Vodka Soda, 7 & Starry Zero, etc.
Ordering a Vodka Soda and squirting a little Mio in it is a neat idea. I like Jack and Diet a lot, that's my normal drink anywhere, so that's what I usually order.

How much backlash is enough to get them to bring back bacon on the buffet and mushrooms on the guy's toppings bar.

I can summarize the debate for you right now for free.

I remember Seth Meyers first late night show. It was so bad. He had to start doing his monologue sitting down like when he did the weekend update on SNL.
One thing is for sure, none of them can hope to hold a candle to the greats that came before them.

As long as I can stream the late-night comedians like Colert after the debate, I'm happy.
It's news to me that Colbert is a comedian.

If you get your welcome aboard drink before leaving port, does Carnival charge you tax on the drink? They did on the free water in the Port of Mobile.
Yes. Well to be more specific, the government charges you tax. Carnival is just required to collect it.

Carnivals website has an exhaustive list of prohibited items on their website.

Based upon our 3 Halloween cruises, about 15-20% will wear a costume on Halloween.
It's been more than that in my experience but never a majority or even close to it, maybe a third. Far more children than adults as you can imagine.

Is there still a cocktail party for Platinum and higher tiers?
As of TODAY, yes. Who knows when that will change.

That's up to you, you're an adult. I wouldn't.

I have DOU in the casino. If the first drink I order is in the casino, will that use up my welcome aboard free drink?
“Will be automatically applied to the first transaction once onboard”

Similar thing happened on a cruise I was on Sunshine about 2 years ago. I noticed all the water in my shower was on one side, (I knew I wasn't that drunk! LOL) and we were leaning hard. Turns out same situation - medical emergency, we had to turn around to drop off a passenger.
Wife and I have cruised a lot, but that was a first for us. Several crew we talked to acted like it was nothing special, happens all the time...

Unfortunately, that doesn't make it right. Proper dress should be enforced.
There are so many things that are more important for a Carnival cruise than what other people are wearing. That's like page 10 in the list of things Carnival needs to spend their energy enforcing in my view.

I for one am thankful that Carnival is doing their part in strengthening my immune system by exposing me to dangerous mold. Just enough to sting, not enough to maim! That's the Carnival way.
If the rest of you would stop worrying about things like respiratory arrest (that happens on every cruise line by the way! Not just Carnival!) then you'd be able to enjoy your cruise on Carnival!
As I always say - at least I don't have to cook and clean! Although in this case perhaps we should be cleaning! But hey, any day in the infirmary on a Carnival ship is better than a day in the office!-
