Ship Libraries - going, going, soon gone!
cellfree replied to cellfree's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I never realized the Pride library was once where the arcade now is, i remember it being where the “gift shop” now is, it was a really enjoyable space that was often in use. It provided a service 24 hours a day - books and games and game tables and comfy chairs. -
Ship Libraries - going, going, soon gone!
cellfree replied to cellfree's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Talking about “space” on a ship, as I have been thinking about this, for instance one example, on the Pride the NightClub is huge and is used for maybe 3 hours a couple times a week - there is a lot of space on a ship that is underutilized- yet still sitting there. -
Somewhat similar to the song “they paved paradise and put up a parking lot,” it appears we are now “losing libraries and putting in gift shops!” Just off 25 nights on the Pride, library lost and gift shop in its place. But to give credit where credit is due, they did have two shelves deck 3 aft against a wall that had some books. I realize the new class ships do not have libraries - I did ask on Celebration about one as I thought perhaps I had missed it, Guest Services said there was not one but brought out a carton from the office in the back that had books guests had left behind - so when on Mardi Gras after Celebration I asked about any books they might have from past guests and the young lady looked at me as if I had a third eye- just sharing my experience! So not certain, but it does seem when a ship goes into dry dock (Pride just came out of dry dock in May) the library may be lost to a gift shop!

If only MSC would get rid of those two “not required” steps when checking in, it would cause so much less frustration for everyone.

Our PVP used both of ours (at our request as it is a cruise that we paid more for than usual for us) on our 25th cruise next week, and have received email confirmation from Guest Admin that it has been applied.

On the Horizon now .. here’s Platinium gifts …
cellfree replied to Markmom18's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Gave mine to six-year old granddaughter, you’d think I’d given her “gold!” -
We have done 10plus MSC cruises, always do my research as to price and what cabin we want, then I book directly through website, have never had a problem.

Agree with @jimbo5544, have done that walk a couple times, doable, just be aware of various vehicles coming and going, enjoy both ships, side by sides are great ideas, have also done side by sides between MSC and Carnival at Port of Miami, worked great as well.

We have always asked and been told “oh yes we have them.” They do not seem to be sitting out on counter.

Can I eat at chabang more than once for free on Mardi Gras?
cellfree replied to Cococay22's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We were on Mardi Gras in September, seven night cruise, one night complimentary and after that $8 charge per guest. -

Yes it does.

Tea Time is (almost always) from 3-4pm on Sea Days. It is lovely, you can sit with a group or ask for a Table for 2 or a Single (last cruise I went to Tea Time once by myself with a book and it was nice). Lipton Tea is served but they also offer “special teas” which come with a cost so beware of that. They have mini sandwiches (usually cucumber and salmon) and desserts you do not see outside of Tea Time. I love the Scones with Clotted Cream and when husband is with me he tries about everything he sees.

Yes, we are both using ours on 25th, yahoo!
-
Just used ours for an October cruise, as it happens our 25th cruise is the priciest we ever paid so we are both taking the 25%. But it does not need to be taken on the 25th. Our PVP submitted the request for both of us and we each got an email saying that 2-3 days prior to the cruise the $amount will show up.

Our servers took care of our beverage requests in MDR, after first night they knew what wine(s) were preferred and were always ready for us.

You will have to open/go through the heavy closed doors that say something like “do not enter.” Couple weeks ago we ran into our Stew when leaving bags and he just asked that we make sure we leave nothing on floor. We also used safe to lock up valuables as cabin doors are pretty much left open as they are all being turned over.

@Tryingtocruiseyou will enjoy following @MeganGC1983as she does the “lives” for us, it’s like cruising along with her, well actually you are, ha, lucky for you. She is the one who got me hooked on “lives!” (We live real close to Venice in Nokomis, so perhaps some day I will see someone “knitting” on one of our cruises and ask if it is you.) Enjoy the Celebration!. -

Following as in the past, but this time I will be packing along with you, going out on Mardi Gras Saturday, (at least suppose to but just got email from Carnival saying Port Canaveral temporarily closed due to hurricane but “I” fully expect it to be open by Saturday), anyway will follow til we embark and then catch up when we get home. Have to say though that my pre-cruise days are not quite as entertaining as yours. Have a great cruise.
