I had an itinerary change for a cruise in 2024. I asked John Heald and the response was that it was due to "operational issues," which could mean anything. *shrug*
-
Me too. I much prefer using the wheel to the scratch off.
-
Well I guess me and the 200 points that I just won will sit over here in the corner alone today. 😂
-
Won 1000 points in the scratch off game! I've never won that much on the scratch off. Today must be my lucky day! 🙂

They didn't renew past 2024, but they never specified what date it would end. At the time of the announcement, Carnival hadn't released the 2024-2025 schedule yet. Now they're slowly releasing the schedule for a few ships at a time, so it's not that they extended the lease, it's that the rest of the 2024 schedule wasn't ready yet.

Yes, you can. It doesn't matter if you booked before you owned the shares. As long as the cruise sails by July 31, 2023 you can apply for credit, per the shareholder benefit PDF: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/static-files/50351a91-4dc0-4f6b-bfec-684647e6129f

I used magnetic hooks on the walls on my last Horizon cruise.
-
We did that the first time we were in Aruba. It was fun.
-
If you ever go back to Bonaire you have to try booking with them again. It really was a fantastic experience.
-
We did the ABCs on the Horizon a few months ago. I enjoyed the ship. No real complaints other than the fact that it was noticeably hot in some areas. These were our excursions: Aruba - Aruba Bob snorkeling (great company, very patient instructor, snorkeling was okay) Bonaire - Woodwind Bonaire snorkeling (the crew and the whole experience were amazing. Would absolutely do it again) Curacao - free walking tour

Looks like Carnival is still doing upgrade offers
sunshower9 replied to Joebucks's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I had a similar offer and decided to pass. I have an extended aft balcony on the Mardi Gras and they offered me an ocean suite. The room size didn't look *that* much bigger, but the balcony was way smaller than the one I already have. Plus it was over $600 to upgrade, so I decided it wasn't worth it for me. I'm glad your offer was right for you though. -
Another which cruise would you pick thread...
sunshower9 replied to PrincessArlena'sDad's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
That sounds like a great itinerary. If I had the availability I would book it myself. -
Another which cruise would you pick thread...
sunshower9 replied to PrincessArlena'sDad's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
This is a fun question. Based on the places I've visited so far, mine would be to the ABC islands and Grand Turk. I'll throw in Half Moon Cay too, even though I haven't been there (yet). I love a good beach day. It would be on an Excel class ship so I can enjoy all the new food and drink options and ideally it would depart from Savannah since that's only a 4 hour drive for me. But if we're going to limit it to departure ports that actually exist, then it would leave from Charleston. And it would be at least a 10 day cruise. Totally unfeasible, but it's fun to dream. 🙂 -
Mine too. I'm so disappointed. 😞
-
I actually got 1000 points in the scratch off today! The most I've ever gotten before was 200 points, and that's extremely rare. I usually get jack squat. 😆 The wheel spin has been much more friendly for me.
-
That's a good question. I've only had it at the steakhouse. Other bars that make martinis could probably make it too, as long as they have the watermelon syrup. The pomtini is also delicious. I had one on the last day of my last cruise and wish I had discovered it sooner.
-
That's one of the great things about having Cheers. You can try pretty much anything without worrying about paying for something you might not like. If you don't like it, just ask for something else, no problem!
-
I just got an email that it's coming back on October 1.
-
Watermelon martini. Actually my real favorite is a special concoction from Jennifer on the Mardi Gras when she was at the Alchemy bar, but the watermelon martini is my favorite regular offering.

Late Night Buffet and Renamed Quest on Mardi Gras
sunshower9 replied to CruizinSusan70's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Glad to hear Quest is back! Also good to heard that there are some other late night options besides pizza. I still wish they would keep the deli open later, though. -
Celebration Cabin Selection...which one?
sunshower9 replied to gopackgo21's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I had a hump balcony on the Mardi Gras and loved it. The balcony was HUGE. No cons, IMO. I'll have an aft extended balcony on my next cruise. From looking at YouTube videos, you can see that there's a small area at the front of the balcony where people can look down on you, but most of the balcony is covered. People can only see you if you're standing at the railing. But of course, there's nothing like the aft view. -
Applying e-gift cards to room before you leave?
sunshower9 replied to gazingm42's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
As the other poster said, you have to wait until you're onboard to apply them as OBC, but you can use them to prepurchase items from the website for your sailing (e.g., Cheers, internet, etc.). -
Horizon Havana aft balcony question
sunshower9 replied to craig01020's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Cool, I was in 9475. 🙂 Hope you enjoy the room!
