Cruise-Crazy

My next booked cruise is the Carnival 50th anniversary cruise in 2022. We’ll see....

Not really half off the cruise. 50% OBC from the price of the cruise.

not the coast guard. the ship builders and the ship flag state create the best location for musters based on egress criteria and space

I stand corrected 😁

I usually leave the bathroom light on at night. It does not light up the cabin enough to keep me awake. But there are the battery powered nightlight that are pretty cheap. 

I was on a Carnival excursion once, we were 45 minutes late getting back to the ship. Yes, they did wait for us. 
I wasn’t too concerned since the captain’s 13 year old daughter was with us 🙂.  
 

that’s about the closest I have come. 

I think the Coast Guard determines where they are held. The ones outside are kind of close for comfort.

My PVP did not give me a timeline. He said not to expect it to be fast since they are processing so many refunds. 
 

Thinking about boarding the ship, heading to Guy’s Burgers then grabbing a Funship Special.

Yes.  Your cruise could very well be extended and medical care might or might not be available.   Maybe return to port of departure or maybe not.  Sounds like a good deal to me

Yes, there is that 🙂

Might be some deals. 

Yes, sure. I’ll be back cruising. 

I spoke to my PVP yesterday, depending on the sail date yes. My cruise is May 28th, I was told 30 days. If I cancel before Carnival cancelled the cruise I loose the money I paid for the insurance. 

First cruise ever, Carnival Paradise June 2003. No occasion, just wanted to go on a cruise.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but what does PVP mean? 

TA stands for travel agent, but P(ersonal(?)) V ... P ...?

Seem to be employees of the cruise company?!

Thanks 😘

Not a lot but I got a $60 drop on my May Conquest Cruise. Hey, every little bit helps. 

Just got off Victory yesterday, luggage tag. 

Either one should be good. I have done the Chef’s Table on several ships, pretty much the same-food wise. Some have been a better experience but that was due to the personality of the chef.

This might sound dumb, but did you try restarting your device?  I'm amazed how many times an app will act "wonky" but if I do a restart things magically work.

Did not change how the app looks on the iPad. 

I got more notifications today reminding me show time was coming up LOL 

My last cruise was Jan 4th. 

They don’t change the shows very often.

The app is one of my biggest gripes.  Constantly crashes, messages are delivered and easy functionally isn’t added.  In a time and culture where apps are a priority its amazing they are ignoring it.  Seems they are letting it go to the scrap yard as they implement the smart bands but an app will still be needed.  

The app does have problems. A week after my last cruise I got notifications that the show was about to start and a few more I had marked as favorite. LOL 

The app is fine on my phone, just tried it on my iPad and got the same thing

Silly question, are you on a ship? The app won’t do much of anything if you are not on the ships WiFi. 

I had that happen on Legend several years ago. It was a tropical depression that strengthened and there was no way to go around it. They closed off all the open decks and a good part of the passengers were in their cabins seasick. It was pretty hard to walk around the ship at times. 

Just don’t get stuck on a sandbar leaving the port of Miami on the Sailabration cruise 😛
