Carnival blocks WiFi calling.

I have heard of people getting a very short extension like 24-36 hours. Never hurts to ask. But yes, you'll need to call the day it's due.

The only problem I have with the airline cards like that is I don't like being tied to one airline. I don't live near a "big" airport so I can't choose one airline for all my travel. I prefer other cards with just cash back rewards. Each to their own, whatever works for you!

I was not being snarky, at least not towards you. Most branded cards aren't great.

It's a junk card anyway, as soon as you get the sign up bonus close it.

If you leave Princess Cays property then you can probably get a drink at 18. But on the port property, it's 21 just like the ship.

That’s great! I can count on two fingers the number of times I’ve been seated at a booth - counting all my MDR seatings - teas, breakfast, brunch, dinner. It’s not a big enough deal for us to ask the host. We’re fine wherever.

Every post-cruise survey I have taken since the restart, I told them how badly those items are missed.

On the app you can state whether you'd like to be seated alone or with others. The tables are mere inches apart (barely enough for an adult to squeeze through) so it really doesn't make a difference though. Do note that when checking in to breakfast or brunch in the app you'll usually be seated at a group table on most ships. You may be able to ask the host for a private table if you prefer.

I don't understand Carnival's war on bacon or mushrooms. What did those delicious foods ever do to them?

It seems good to me, I'd like to see "no solicitation" enforced in Nassau!

Do you mean the "fresh pressed" juices that are extra cost? No, I have never tried them and have never seen anyone else order them either. I am surprised they still offer them frankly.

I don't know about 6 feet but some folks will have soggy floor mats when they get back. I remember earlier this year the cruise port flooded and they got nowhere near as much rain and wind then as is being predicted with Debby.

My point was already discussed in post #6.

The port of Charleston will almost certainly be underwater, so good call to those moving their cars from the parking lots. I imagine much of Downtown Charleston will be underwater later this week.

It was a hurricane for maybe 8 hours.

The pier is phase one of a huge renovation of the island. I hope they keep at least some of the island as it is now. But I'm sure they're going to add a lot more development.

Tailgaters are the exception and not the rule.

Everything is extra now - extra charge for more than 2 entrees in MDR (and the portions are smaller). Room service - outside of cold danishes and coffee at breakfast - is a paid for menu. $5 for a dry PB&J sandwich for example. And the food is not as good as before COVID. Cut-up hot dogs served as breakfast sausage on the buffet, bacon only every other day. Enjoy?

Many people aren't switching rooms, they're just getting extra room keys. How could they put an end to that?

There's really nothing they can do to prevent people from doing what OP is talking about here. I think the collateral damage of not allowing guests to get room keys made would be too great.

If you all want to board at the same time, you can board when their zone is called. Likewise with water shuttles, if there are any in your itinerary.

There are no names printed on tickets. You can probably actually have guest services change out who is assigned to the rooms, but it's easier just to ask for room keys. Yes you'd have to purchase the fourth drink package once onboard. Note that they will only allow a single Cheers purchase if the other cruiser in that cabin has Drinks on Us Everywhere, not just Drinks on Us while Playing. If the guests in one cabin are not platinum then they cannot be part of the platinum benefits.
