You also get Free Laundry Service, the bag and order form is in your cabin drawer. And First off the ship in ports where you need to Tender out, just show your Platinum card.

This is something I saved a while ago Just a reminder for Gold, Platinum and Diamond members; you have to pickup most of your gifts. Gold, Platinum and Diamond: •Free large bottle of water - request from any bar •Cruise pins - request at Pixels counter. (Photo Shop) Platinum and Diamond only: •Luggage tags - request at Pixels counter •$25 in free casino play - request Casino Cashier •Chocolate covered strawberries - call Room Service (8000) to request delivery •Platinum/Diamond party was on Friday from 3:30-4:15 in the Liquid Lounge last week, I imagine it will be the same this week. Invitation should be delivered to your stateroom. Check your ship as it could be held at a smaller lounge. Fred

Check your Carnival Hub app under booking details I believe or your planner. I always get the Vax attestation done there as soon as I log on with my booking.

For Platinum/Diamond guest it’s 16 days early and to get a A01 embarkation time immediately, you want to check in at 9pm on the 17th day Pacific and Midnight on the 16th day East Coast time. Long Beach now has a Platinum/Diamond line at the terminal but the Captain’s Lounge was reserved for Suite passengers the last time I was there. Been on Panorama 3x. With the elimination of Covid Testing maybe that part that they were using to Covid test in the Captains lounge might open up to Platinum/Diamond guest. whether you get a 10am - 10:30am boarding time, the doors won’t open till around 11:30am, that has been my experience on 3x Panorama cruises, 1 Miracle and 2 Radiance cruises out of Long Beach.

Love Catalina island but when it comes to Ensenada, that day I always stay onboard. Nothing there really. Fred

No rain this morning, 70% chance around 4pm and the temperature is a pleasant 62 degrees, feels like 72.

The rear of the pier is open for one ship as you can see this Princess ship, they have to use their tender board to get around the area where the pier is damage. Both Zuiderdam and Spirit are pier side. No rain this morning, nice brisk 60 degrees, feels like 72.

Thanks guys, well that breached whale made up for the No Bears search part of this excursion 🐻 there were none, Zero Bears so maybe next time Saw around 12 whales, only one breached. Fred

First time Whale Watching, got the money shot.

If they give you crap, just keep 2 bottles in the car under the seat while parked at the parking structure and go get them on your second trip. I believe you get to keep your luggage onboard but have to disembark to go through the process again. Fred

We have Putu on this Spirit cruise also, so far I haven’t met him in person but when I called on day one he answered and gave us what we needed right away. I will probably see home tomorrow morning as I need to send a load of laundry out. Fred

I agree, I’m on Spirit as well, seems Seattle got their stuff together, they even had porters. Onboard at 11:05am Seattle Pier 91 did a great job! Fred

Haven’t seen straws on Spirit yet but Panorama had those sugar noodle straws and they also sold the stainless steel ones, I think they weee $5.

No, I spoke to the actual Chef that make it. Fred

Sucralose (Splenda) is what they usually use which spikes me to 190+ but today I checked it out and they both said Equal, I gave it a try and it worked, for a year I’ve been telling them to use Stevia or Monk Fruit as those come from plants and do not spike me. Check my Spirit Roll call as I am posting my Ketogenic foods there Spirit August 10th 2022 which is this week. Fred

We booked the Art class the day we are in Victoria.

You can get inline at 8am ships time but the line goes far back to the Pixels Photo gallery. So send someone else to sign both of you up so they can get their much earlier and reserve a spot.

Just know that some of the Sugar Free cakes are made with what they call Equal, the only Equal sweetener that I know of has chemicals, but I took a chance on this one and just had a small piece of the corner. I had to get this information from the Main Chef because the crew serving the cake don’t know. Blood Sugar was 116 and. now 109 … seems like a winner so far. Carnival usually uses Sucralose (Splenda) and that Spikes the hell out of me. So it looks like they are finally reading end cruise surveys about this issue. Always ask to see what sweeteners they are using in their Sugar Free Cakes for Diabetics and people on a ketogenic lifestyle. The picture below is their Raspberry Champagne Cake Fred

Soul Play is located on Deck 3 Aft

Yes, he can sign both of you. They will want to see both of your Sail & Sign cards so that they can write down the names correctly. Fred
