Cruise-Crazy

I booked Conquest out of Miami, 5/7/2022. Seemed like the thing to do. 😁

AT&T WiFi calling worked on the Value plan on Jan 4th cruise. 

A chocolate mint on my pillow. 😁

Well, I could not resist. I just booked Conquest for Marco 7th. 

8 days.

BooKing another one today. 

Wait, what? A breakfast burger?? I will have to try this 🙂

How are you able to pick the day?  Do you visit guest services? Or the maitre'd?

If you booked it online I would check with the maitre’d. If they have enough people to do more than one they should let you pick. 

If he is in your cabin he boards with you even if it is his first cruise. 

I would think the passports would be checked electronically rather than looking for a stamp. 

They do prefer fax over email. I got a fax machine at Office Depot for $29.95. They always process it very quickly. 

My favorite was Julie, oh, wait..... that was the Love Boat.

Some are better than others but I have never booked a cruise based on who the CD was. 

It has always worked for me on the Value plan.

In December,  Port Canaveral had facial recognition IPad like things stations that people with passports were able to go through. You just stood there and the machine would beep and you were off. No customs officer. I don’t think you’d be able to use these if you don’t have a passport.

They are using them in Miami now, moves things along pretty quick.

Can anyone confirm that has cruised recently that "Confirmed" dining is Your Time Dining?  Thanks.

That’s what was on my cruise earlier this month. 

They can’t start boarding until the ship is totally clear so they want everyone off. I used to like staying as late as possible. 

Sensation has it

Does anyone know if Carnival stocks Watermelon Pucker in their bars?  There is a drink Id like to be able to get and that is one of the ingredients.  Thanks!

well, what is the drink? 😁

Wouldn't it be nice if they also offered a shareholder only cocktail get together sometime during our cruise?......just a thought.

   

it would be interesting to see how many people come to those parties. 

Good to see it’s still in place. I have never used a form, just fax a copy of my statement and a letter showing the booking info requesting the OBC. They do prefer fax rather than email. Usually takes a couple of days. 

I’m sure the picture frames on the Sensation Cruise earlier this month were because they were out of whatever they were supposed to get. We were the last cruise before they went to drydock. They looked like they came from the photo area. 

On Sensation two weeks ago it was a picture frame. 

I got up early one morning to take some sunrise pictures and surprised a couple ”sleeping” in a lounge chair on Lido.  They didn’t seem too happy to see some with camera equipment.

Then what was your point saying that somebody else might have done something wrong?

Good grief.

Does this really work at check in? I never heard of anyone trying it at that stage.

 

And what would happen to your luggage? Since the luggage tags would already be on and the bags handed off to the porters.

I’ve only tried it a couple of times with no luck, that was a few years ago. On my December cruise the couple waiting in the Diamond area where I was asked and got that upgrade. I have heard of others but that was the first one I actually saw happen that way.

2 wrongs don't make a right.  Just because somebody else, some place does something does not mean it is okay.

never said it did.
