Need to hurry with Virgin - their match is expiring Princess still counts cruise days OR number of cruises toward loyalty levels. Who else does that?

Not as much as they used to.

If I understood your earlier post, you were sharing your cell data. If you do that on a cruise ship, you'll end up with a zillion dollar bill. Try it at home first sharing just a WiFi connection.

Samsung has the ability, but it seems to want cell connections enabled. IF you have Google Fi as your provider, it won't connect to the ship's cell (at least mine doesn't), so you don't have to be in airplane mode, and it will work. Again, only if you have Google Fi as the provider. As always, your mileage may vary.

Any Google Pixel phone -at least all of mine.

Not necessarily. Some cell phones can connect to WiFi and share it via a hotspot. Same with laptops. Setting up a travel router is another option.

You're welcome, but it might not be what is current on Jubilee. There is a Live From thread you might post on and ask if they can get the current Jubilee list. While connected to the ship wifi, this should bring it up: https://funshi.ps/shwine

Thank you and thanks to the others. It happens. We have a lot of animals (and land) from large to small. We know we will probably outlive all of the current menagerie, but it still hurts when you lose one. Life goes on. There will be more rescues. Meanwhile the two litters a feral cat decided to gift us with last year before we could catch her (now all are fixed), checking out a new cat tree.

This is what we had on Glory last month, so I guess they haven't increased prices on all the ships, yet. QR-F555-WineList-0124 - Copy.pdf

I didn't notice any spice to the coating. The heat was in the sauce and I should have asked for more sauce. I thought the boneless chicken breast was crispy and tasty. I think it would work - just tell the kid it is a supersized nugget.

Did they ever get ice buckets on Venezia? I have to think so.

It's for efficiency. The waitstaff serve multiple tables and it helps if they can bring the courses out in a timely fashion. Especially for early dining or those eating early on your time. A lot of people need to be fed and staff aren't dedicated to one table or one person.

The tricks they play with cleaning fees and other scams.

I can see why it might be needed with the tricks Royal plays. I can especially see why the law is needed with the tricks some hotels and airlines play. I don't really care one way or another about the law, but I don't understand why some don't think more regulation is going to cost the consumer more money.

8. CARNIVAL’S RIGHT TO INCREASE FARES, INCREASE OR ESTABLISH CHARGES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES, CANCEL OR CHANGE VOYAGE, AND CHANGE STATEROOM ASSIGNMENTS AND TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION OR REPAIRS, LIMITATIONS ON VACATION PROTECTION PRODUCTS (a) Subject to applicable laws, Carnival reserves the right to increase published fares and air fare supplements without prior notice. However, fully paid or deposited Guests will be protected, except for fares listed, quoted, advertised or booked in error, fuel supplements, taxes, fees and port expenses, other surcharges and changes to deposit, payment and cancellation terms/conditions, which are subject to change without notice.

Because the port itself can raise taxes and fees. There are a number of components that could and sometimes do change. Then the cost per passenger gets recalculated.

Ask and you shall receive. Starlink is raising rates! https://www.tesla-mag.com/en/spacex-adjusts-starlink-pricing-implications-for-u-s-users-and-the-broadband-market/ but nobody is forced to buy. Entirely optional.

People have suggested that cruise lines estimate port taxes and fees on the high side to avoid having to charge cruisers more on the back end. This is exactly what cruise lines were sued for last century - overcharging for port taxes and fees. The cruise lines can't win and the consumer will pay more. No win-win there.

What Carnival advertises is the cabin price IS the cabin price. Carnival has no control over port taxes and fess and makes no money off of them. Carnival is completely transparent. The price the consumer pays won't change, the commission to travel agents won't change. The consumer will likely pay more to avoid a couple of keystrokes. Well done!

The total price is shown before you get to the checkout page.

The law exempts government taxes. No change there.

I use them (while they last) for Lido Arnold Palmers, etc. Much better looking than the dumpy standard plastic cups and hold a lot more.

Looking through some of my Venezia pictures, we had glass on the Inaugural Transatlantic. Maybe they have been coming back for a while (May 23 at least)

Our preferred cabin type on all the Carnival ships that have them, including Venezia.

Cruise lines contract for enormous amounts of food well in advance. They aren't impacted by spot price changes at your local Walmart. Port fees and taxes are not commodities.
