I believe that line is referring to the Galveston/New York alcohol restrictions. I took it to mean that there wouldn't be any restrictions on what you could use it on apart from the value.

No it doesn't. It only breaks it down after booking. Before this change, you didn't have to put any money down to know all of the individual charges. The final price was already shown in the top right corner of the page before going past the cabin selection page. All you had to do was click on the arrow to see a drop down with the fare per person and the taxes and fees per person. Now it is just one figure with no breakdown whatsoever.

If you are cruising out of New Orleans, will you have to pay sales tax on that free drink if you use it on the first day? Sales tax is charged on the value of the vifp water if you redeem it on day 1. That is why I wait until day 2 to get the vifp water. I believe the tax on zero should be zero.

I shouldn't have to do that. They are not being transparent. Before this change, you could already see the total price before booking. Now they are hiding the taxes and fees.

The invoice comes after booking. The website is still doing what I said before booking.

On June 30th, taxes and fees were not broken out. I was only given one figure. It didn't even break it down per person. I was only able to figure out the taxes and fees by switching to just one person and subtracting from the two person total.

I know this is a bit of a tangent, but please tell that to the Disney parks division.

Another thing to add is that just because the box is there doesn't mean all of the pieces are there. It is a major crapshoot. Some pieces could be in the boxes of other games, scattered throughout the cabinets, or just missing entirely.

Yes. The check in staff are aware of the different formats of official birth certificates. My mom was born in 1951 in Iowa. Folded cards were what they issued at the time. Hers isn't laminated. She keeps it in the sleeve it came in.

I want to say the first time(2021?) I had the buffalo shrimp it had a slight kick to it, but no where close to being buffalo. Every time since then it has been plain.

Cozumel Plus only meant one extra hour(at least out of New Orleans). The 1/20/18 sailing on the Triumph was in Cozumel overnight(8:00pm-7:00pm). A lady went overboard on 1/21 somewhere north of Cancun. After searching for 12 hours(8:00pm-8:00am), we were allowed to keep going. We were supposed to be in Cozumel at 8:00am on 1/22. Progreso on 1/23 was canceled. We actually docked in Cozumel at 8:30pm at the International Pier instead of Puerta Maya. We were supposed to dock at Puerta Maya, but it was going to be full on 1/23. We were free to get off the ship, but I dont think many people did. A couple port shops were still open. There was no port security in either direction when we got there. The gates were just open. No one checked ship cards to get through the gate and back on the pier. No food sniffing dogs either. Port security arrived in the morning.

Carnival Corporation ships, including Carnival Cruise Line, dock in all three berths at Puerta Maya, not just the one you circled. They will also dock at the International Pier that is next to Puerta Maya in extraordinary circumstances. My source for that is the 1/20/18 sailing on the Triumph. A lady went overboard on 1/21, and we circled the area for 12 hours. That caused us to get into Cozumel about 11hr 30 min late. Progreso the following day was skipped, and Cozumel became an overnight stop. We were originally supposed to dock at Puerta Maya, but Puerta Maya was full the next day. The International Pier was not full the next day. I believe we shared the pier with a Royal Caribbean or Celebrity ship.

I think they renamed it to Mentions. I just went on his page on the mobile website, and the Mentions tab has the same functionality as the Community tab.

Your comment was not constructive. Instead of just telling me that I was wrong, you should have said why I was wrong. You should have given the correct answer instead of just ridiculing me with red font.

If I'm not mistaken, food prices are one of the things that are excluded from inflation calculations because they are too volatile.

Gerry is on the Glory only for the partial Panama Canal cruise. Adult Game Night is scheduled for tomorrow.

Whenever I search, I can't select a rate other than the preselected rate until after I select a cabin type. The preselected rate is usually the cheapest rate that allows cabin selection, assuming I don't select a guarantee cabin.

Lei Lei doesn't. She is on the Glory now.

I don't like him. He was a jerk to me when he was on the fun squad on the Legend in 2017. I wasn't participating in the trivia, but I was listening while waiting for everyone to leave. I pointed out after the game that one of the correct answers was wrong. He refused to acknowledge that the official answer could be wrong, and he was rude in the process. That was also his last cruise on the fun squad.

I was in one of the long balcony cabins(7434) on the Freedom. It is long enough for a lounger in addition to the usual two chairs and a table. It was advertised as having a lounger. It wasn't there when I got there. I asked the steward and he brought a spare lounger down from the pool area.

Until the pandemic, this happened every time for me at early assigned dining, and I was there before the dining room opened or within five minutes of the official start time. Anytime I ordered ice cream, it would be room temperature soup by the time they got around to giving it to me. Since the pandemic, there have been far less showtimes. With the extremely terrible service that started in January 2022 on multiple ships(Freedom 1/15/22, Radiance 8/29/22, Valor 11/28/22, Glory 2/5/23), I decided that I would no longer go to the dining room except for the strawberry soup. I would leave after eating the soup. My next cruise is 11/26/23. Before I had a chance to execute that plan, they changed the menu and removed the strawberry soup. There aren't enough things on the new menu that I am willing to eat that would make it worthwhile to deal with the crappy service.

I have Verizon. I get wifi texts using the Message+ app on the value plan and premium plan. I've never had the social plan. Check the settings on your phone. On Verizon, I have to enable HD Voice in the My Verizon app and turn on wifi calling on my phone's settings. At one point I had to change a setting in the Message+ app on my S7 and S8 as well, but not on my current phone(S21). I only recently figured out how to turn on wifi calling on my previous and current unlocked phones(S8 and S21). Verizon was blocking wifi calling on my unlocked S7 that I purchased directly from Samsung. Wifi texting still worked on my S7. I will attempt wifi calling again on my next cruise.

That is fine. Your printer may be running out of blue or yellow ink/toner.

I had similar issues trying to do mock bookings for October 2023 cruises out of Miami, Port Canaveral, and New Orleans using Chrome on my S21. I had no problems getting past the residency page for November and December 2023. I didn't try any other ports. I later tried using the Samsung browser on my phone, and I was able to get past the residency page on October 2023 cruises from those ports.
