Dont know what i did… 

In general do inside cabins stay cooler then outside cabins?  I love a freezing cold room. 
Anyone who’s been on Horizon please comment, it would be appreciated.

Thanks, i will take your advice. Evening service it is. 🤗😎

Now that Carnival is doing once a day housekeeping, does that mean nightly turndown service is gone too?

The food is so expensive.  They had to make cuts here.  I for one anticipated this. However,  I would rather have less selections of higher quality then a larger menu of lesser… Hopefully they take advantage and step up the overall dining experience.  Less, is sometimes more…

no port selections?  sad. 

Yup, I agree with you.  That was always fun to get a sample of the local flavor. 

How do they verify the validity of the vax card?  Its just 1 or 2 stickers about the dose you received on a piece of paper

And where did you get these numbers?  We booked due to Carnival's published notes about limited capacity?

What 

 

John Heald did post to his blog about the Horizon sailing at 75% pax. The count was 2900.

Any suggestions for filling in the day in Miami after we get off our ship. We have a 10pm flight home. Do hotels offer day room rates. Just want to relax maybe by a pool or beach and have a place to relax freshen up before a long flight home.

Want to reserve a few specialty dining’s for our cruise. For some,

 Reason Carnival help desk cant explain only why

JI JI & Steakhouse . Does that sound correct? 

Today i opened my Hub app to purchase the drink package for our Aug cruise. I notice that it now tells me to “Get set up for my cruise” Check in button is there. I click it. it only takes me to my cruise planner on the Carnival site. Am i missing a step here??? Or, is it a glitch?

Well done audcc77. It is a CAS rate.  I will try to see if they can accommodate.

Hopefully they will.

We are book and paid in full for our Horizon cruise in late August.  Now i see the PLT rate. We could get a two balcony cabins and save $375 per cabin ( we currently have inside). Even with prepaying the gratuity with the cruise fare.  Do you think Carnival will allow this change or stick to the change policy after final payment?

Carnival is infamous for testing things out. Then add a minor surcharge, Roll it out on more ships, raise the price and move on to the next money grab.

Has anyone been on the Sunrise and what cabin did you get? I just want a quiet area so I can just sleep. 😴

The best place for sleep would be a bed.  IMHO….

Im interested in your opinions as to what cruising will become going forward?  Im thinking long term.  Because they can never recoup 16 months of loses.

what will the permanent changes most likely be for:

Dining

Entertainment

Onboard amenities

service

overall quality 

new ship design post covid

ect…

Will Carnival limit passengers onboard this summer, or will it be full occupancy?

There are two answers to this post that are relevant.

1) in the short term YES, food will be served by the staff.

2) We have a terrible long term memory. It will only last a few months.

It like passing a horrible accident on the highway.  As you approach we slow down, have a look and for the 1st mile or so we are holding the wheel at 10 & 2. But once the flashing emergency vehicle lights are no longer in the rear view mirror.  Its back to one hand on the wheel and the other changing the radio.  We forget quickly about danger.

Not a productive post at this point IMO   
 

Not understanding your reply.
The cruise industry will NOT fully recover from this unscathed.

NCL & Princess will not survive this.  NCL has less then 150mil in cash with 9.8 Billion in debt.  Carnival Corp will be forced to bury the Princess line as law suits and problematic name recognition will continue to plague them.  Arnold Donald is no fool. and Frank Del Rio knows he is totally screwed.  
 

Even with securing a few Billion in temp funding. The writing is on the wall.  
very topical and thought provoking subject.  Never meant to be a productive post. Not every post needs to be.  Besides how many posts about sneaking booze on board is really productive anyway.

 

stay well.😀 
 

Politics akin to office politics, not referring to govt.  

To address the RNA I purposely omitted that. It has nothing to do with a virus being inert , but more about public perception of said narrative.  What will people think.  I am not adding any additional oil to an existing fire.  This is basically an open forum to discuss a simple topic.  Sorry if you feel that way. Never was my intention.  We are all equally connected in this.

Just a few short months ago, you would board a cruise and hope the Norovirus wasn’t a fellow passenger.  Fast forward and now, any of us would easily trade Covid for Noro.  My how things can change so quickly.  
 

Now the cruise lines have to scramble to get us cruising again once things calm down, and this freaking virus is quashed (hopefully).

Until then the political game is now in play.  When is it safe, how will the lines deal with sanitation going forward?  They just found on Tuesday on a Princess ship that after 20 day the virus is still showing up on hard surfaces on that ship.  
 

How are we to believe it is really safe even after the ships are back to revenue cruising? Ah, thats where the politics comes in.  Do we have blind faith? Do we wear hazmat suites for 7 days in the carib. Will buffets only be served by gloved staff?  Oh, and WHEN that first case of Noro I mentioned before rears its ugly head. Will that be the end of cruising? Or will we just forgo better judgement and roll the dice when they are giving cruises away, just to get people back.

how will this play out?  I am eager to hear what you have to say.

It never fails to amaze me that if you dont agree with the OP in most threads

they narcissistically fight with anyone who dares to disagree or provide opposing fact. 
 

crazy stuff🤪

To the OP you obviously have a kind heart.  But unfortunately this an add revenue generated site.  And, that would be free advertising.  Essentially rendering the site useless to Tripadvisor and that wont happen.  
 

God  Bless and stay well🤗
