Are you going to Cozumel? It probably is not your price drop. There is a promotion right now giving $50 off excursions in Cozumel.

That's what I thought, that instead of giving me the $20 price drop they gave me the $50 promotion. The thing is, I don't want it - it wouldn't pay half of any excursion that we would consider taking in Cozumel, and we weren't going to take a Carnival shore excursion in any case.

I haven't had a chance to call yet, but I'll do so over the weekend, and let you know what the deal is.

I don't have that "fine print" where did you see that?

GUEST NOTES

1) OBC is non-transferable/non-refundable. Applicable for shore excursion purchases only & cannot be used prior to sailing. Cancellations prior to final payment due date will receive a future cruise credit in the amount of the deposit less a $50 pp service fee. The future cruise credit must be used for bookings in USD currency within 24 months from the date of cancellation. If you find a lower cruise rate, based on the total cabin occupancy & not from the booked ancillary services, such as air, transfers, prepaid gratuities, or TF&PE. Price protection doesn’t apply to group rates, membership programs, charters, select promotional fares, travel agent rebates, or other travel agent promotions not offered by Carnival to the general public.

I just submitted my second price drop, and it was approved right away, but it's odd - instead of dropping the price by the difference, they put a $50 OBC on my account (which is more than the price difference). Which I would be very happy about, but reading the fine print, it's only for shore excursions, not to use onboard (for spa or bar purchases, for instance). Since we weren't planning any shore excursions, I was going to call Carnival directly to find out what can be done.

Does this happen often, that OBC is limited to shore excursions?

KC

If there is no steakhouse on our ship (Paradise), is this promotion offered anywhere else onboard?

thanks,

KC

Can anyone tell me the name of the beach club (or clubs) that are the official Carnival excursion ones?

TIA

KC

Thanks. As Mentioned It Has Been A Long Time Since I Posted. I Don't Want To Break Any Rules But Sure Appreciate Any Help.

This is off topic, but I have to ask - why are you capitalizing every word? It's hard to read, but I'm sure you have a reason for it, and I'm just curious?

thanks,

KC

Is there music piped in at Nachi? I'm not a fan of most of the kind of music young people listen to these days, although I'm not adverse to quiet local music, like mariachi. Can anyone who's been there recently give me a scoop? And if there IS music, can you tell me if it's just by the pool? Can you hear it from the beach palapas?

Thanks - I feel like an old coot, but I'd much rather know beforehand.

My husband and I were invited to dine at the Captains Table on the Miracle several years ago. Not sure why, as we are no one special (this was only our second Carnival cruise), but our waiter told us the next day that we were so nice to chat with that he recommended us. It was great fun - very fancy, with a special menu and a photograph.

I have noticed several postings about how the pool deck chairs are now being decorated with towel animals first thing in the morning. Do you think this might be an attempt on the part of Carnival to help alleviate the chair hog situation? That perhaps folks won't be so quick to hog up chairs, because they already have towels on them?

Just curious,

KC

Sure did, and had no trouble at all. They were in my checked through bag, wrapped in a towel, just in case.

KC

As well, there is a glass shelter (a.k.a. The Bus Stop) on deck 5, starboard and aft.

 

 

 

Gosh, wouldn't you hate to have THOSE obstructed view cabins!?

awful, you ask for pictures, and I am the dirty one.

You say that wearing a robe over your bathing suit to and from the pool is tacky. I am asking what you wear over your bathing suit to and from the pool, as obviously you are setting yourself up as the arbiter of good taste. But your responses clearly indicate that you are not, and so I am going to consider the source of the 'tacky' comment, and move on.

And ick, whoever you are.

KC

Thank You....

As for the "Full" color photos, You are very naughty !

Maybe You would like that very much ;)

The Nudie ones, is that what you really want ?

I dont do Nudie pics, as I have said many times before.

 

For what I have to show, some on this board may report it to the mods.

There are a lot of jealous people out there

 

 

But as I said, Thanks !

So a robe is tacky, but your response is not.

Sigh.

I thought that the special fast lines at Disney required additional payment? If not, why wouldn't everyone use it?

'snip'

KC

I suppose they can give us something to have a little giggle about :D

I would very much appreciate some full color photos of what YOU wear to and from the pool area, so we can all learn from you. Obviously, you are the official arbiter of good taste and manners on board, so guide us, oh wise one - guide us!

Thanks for the review! Did you keep your daily Compasses? And if you did, can you share them here?

KC

I also vote for two parts - and thanks again!

KC

I find it extremely tacky and trashy to be walking around outside of the spa or your room in a robe.

What is the difference between a robe and a terry cloth coverup? Truly? I have a short kimono type robe which I wear as a beach coverup - apart from the fact that it is, in fact, a robe, I think it looks much nicer and more pulled together than at least 3/4 of the 'beach covers' that I see. Up to and including the ones with a naked or bikini clad person screen printed on the front.

Thanks, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at - is that a weather report or something?

KC

Quick question - if I purchase a package for one device, is that one device at a time? For instance, can I log off and allow my cabin mate to log on with their device? And then have them log off and allow another friend to log on with THEIR device?

Thanks,

KC

The game will be televised on ESPN - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

KC

Do you think they'll air the big college bowl games onboard?

KC

What a great review! Keep 'em coming, and thanks!

KC

LOVING your review, and the pictures - keep 'em coming!

KC

The pictures of the sunset are amazing - and I'm really enjoying your review. I'm looking forward to your posts about your dining experiences!
