What's a camel back?

I heard the $95 is an experiment on the Vista. Everything is more expensive on the Vista
It's on all Dream and Vista class ships
The cost is $75 USD per person ($95 USD per person on Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, Carnival Magic and Carnival Vista). An automatic 15% gratuity will be added to the cover charge of the Chef’s Table and the charges will be applied directly to the guest’s Sail & Sign account. For reservations made prior to the price increase to $95 USD, the original price will be honored

It is impossible for Carnival to please everyone. Passengers need to try a little harder to be reasonable or not. The outcome will be the same.
Or just scrap the entire gift program.
Allow P&D to get $10 OBC
Or discounted internet, steakhouse, photo or spa etc offerings.($10-20)
People would probably still complain, but they would have more control over what they are complaining about.

* in 4 solo cruises I have never been set with a group of singles in MDR.
In my 8 solo Carnival cruises with late seating, I have always been seated with solo/singles.
I think early seating was probably the issue.

Sometimes when traveling solo it's nice to eat with the same people every night.

Very true, Carnival does a great job in putting solo/single people together at large tables. So it's like an instant social group to attend shows and take excursions.

They finally clarified the pricing
I would still bring your confirmation, if you booked under the previous pricing
The cost is $75 USD per person ($95 USD per person on Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, Carnival Magic and Carnival Vista). An automatic 15% gratuity will be added to the cover charge of the Chef’s Table and the charges will be applied directly to the guest’s Sail & Sign account.

Thank you but I think that is the case right? I was wondering if there was a picture of the actual item inside Thanks
Don't think there is a picture of the actual charger anywhere. When people actually start receiving them someone might post a picture.

Congratulations to your parents! It truly pays, literally to check prices.

YMMV
Due to local environmental requirements, the washing machines in the guest launderette will be closed in port, per each port specific requirements; the dryers and irons will be available for guest use.

Just saw a small quantity of studio cabins open up for the Epic transatlantic sailing in two weeks.
Norwegian Epic
from Barcelona
October 30, 2016
studio cabin $599 (plus $103.84 fees)
And it qualifies for a perk.
I did not book directly with Norwegian because their website indicates studio cabins are sold out. Instead I found some inventory available with an online travel agency.
If you click through, the studios will show up on the NCL site
-
Did you put in your request after October 14? That's the day the above link was revised.
-
The only other thing I can think of is the Vista has a unique way of doing the CT so maybe that is more. That is just a guess.

That was my initial thought, but if that's the case, it would seem like they would have mentioned the price difference for Vista.

THE CHEF’S TABLE
Carnival has an exciting fine dining option for our guests – The Chef’s Table. This one-of-a-kind culinary experience includes an exquisite multi-course private dinner hosted by one of the line’s master chefs along with a private champagne reception (soft drinks for kids) and a personalized tour of the galley.
A select group of 12-16 guests (children must be at least 12 years of age) will enjoy champagne and hors d’ouevres hosted by the ship’s chef de cuisine. The chef then takes the group on a personalized tour to see the galley in operation, providing participants with a unique perspective on Carnival’s extensive food and beverage operations.
The evening concludes with a sumptuous full-service dinner with delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts created by the line’s master chefs as well as red and white house wine. Depending on the vessel, the meal takes place in non-traditional dining venues throughout the ship – the galley, library, conference center, etc. The Carnival Vista has a dining room specifically for Chef’s Table with window views into the galley.
What’s exciting about the this experience is that it is anything but typical! Seasons and ports and whatever the Chef is currently delving into will influence the final outcome. This could be flavors, ingredients from local sources or techniques. It is a chance for the Chef to showcase the best of his/her abilities and share it with those lucky few.
The cost is $75 - $95 USD per person. An automatic 15% gratuity will be added to the cover charge of the Chef’s Table and the charges will be applied directly to the guest’s Sail & Sign account.
The dinner(s) as well as the dinner date(s) are subject to the number of guests wishing to participate in this experience. The dress code follows the dress code specified for that evening on board; since guests are taken on a personalized tour of the galley, open-toed, heels and shoes with slippery soles are discouraged.
Pre-Cruise Reservation Procedures
Prior to the cruise, guests can send an email to Group Event Planning ateventplanning@carnival.com.
Requests must be submitted no later than 7 days prior to the sail date; requests do fill up quickly so it is suggested to do this as soon as possible to ensure a reservation.
The subject line should read ‘Chef’s Table Request’ and the email should include the following information:
Names
Number of guests attending (children must be 12 years of age and older to participate)
Ship and Saildate
Booking Number and Cabin Number
Group Event Planning will email the request to the specific ship Maitre d’.
The Maitre d’ will respond directly to the guest if they are able to accommodate the request.
Once onboard, the guest’s Sail & Sign card will be charged.
On Board Reservation Procedures
Reservations can be arranged on board with the Steakhouse Hostess.
On the following ships that do not have a Steakhouse, reservations can be arranged onboard with the Maitre d': Carnival Ecstasy, Carnival Elation, Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Fascination, Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Paradise, Carnival Sensation, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory
It's also on the main Carnival page.

It still lists the 15% gratuity

Was there an announcement as to why there is a $20 difference in the CF pricing? I see it was changed yesterday.

Europe Cruises
We do not offer a currency exchange service on board. Guests can obtain Euros at the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) on board or in port in order to withdraw the amount of money they will need, usually at a better rate than any of the Currency Exchange locations in port.

Carnival use to offer $50 off the second cruise,but they stopped doing that about a decade ago.
You might find a TA that will give you additional perks for booking back to back cruises.
