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.

Not on Glory a few weeks ago, but I guess they are coming back. Anyway, you can pick up fresh glasses (Plastics?) on Lido and have a constant supply in your cabin.

That stopped around COVID, unless you have a suite.

Still waiting for a verifiable reference to any cruise line.

This is also shown on the AU website Taxes, Fees & Port Expenses are subject to change and Carnival reserves the right to collect any increases in effect at the time of sailing even if the fare has already been paid in full.

Guessing too high puts them at a competitive disadvantage compared with a cruise line that cuts it closer. Right now Carnival refunds port charges and fees for missed ports. Royal only does so if they collected too much to begin with and have a surplus. I can see Carnival moving to something similar and perhaps not refunding anything. At the end of the day, I see this costing the consumer more money.

That is exactly what they are doing when they quote a price for port taxes and fees. They are predicting how many cruisers they will have.
