SwordBlazer Cruising

You mean how Delta did with their Skymiles program? Segments or the amount of flights don't matter, its the cost if the ticket and your in flight spend on your co branded Amex

That's correct. It is a Carnival company, not an outside, un affiliated company or concessionaire like Steiners of London who run the spas or Starboard who runs the gift shops.

Carnival Global Casino Operations are a wholly owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, you are correct. It is not a concession like some other cruise lines .

You are correct. Do people have this same energy when a cruise line status matches or someone with a credit card gets the same flying, boarding and upgrade benefit as someone who flys 5 times a month? Its loyalty and marketing 101.

People will find the smallest nuance and complain about it, in my opinion. Just like the Q4 revenue. Someone will pick it apart and find the negative. At the end of the day, no other industry had their business shut down for 14 months with little to zero revenue coming in. Give them some time. They clearly are on the right path.

A cruise ship terminal is a US point of entry, therefore a government/ federal controlled property. Is Cannabis legal on the government level? No, it’s only legal within some states. This is the reason.

Lol, I advanced myself a bit there! 😂

I think in this case, someone committing murder in their cabin is a bit far beyond enforcement. Look at what all the airline employees went through during the pandemic. They enforced as they could being regulated by the FAA but people still did what they want, punched flight attendants, etc. This is 2024 and some people have no decorum or regard, they do what they want. On a cruise ship, shopping mall, airline.

This is how corporations work. They are doing a good job of paying down debt. Most companies have debt, look at Amazon. They have reported long term debt at 65 billion.

I agree with you. I think the issue at hand is there are so many variations of safety/ nuisance issues that it becomes hard. Kid’s running in the hallway are a nuisance, adults drunk, stumbling are also a safety and nuisance issue. There are so many avenues. Take a spin on YouTube and a vast majority of the onboard issues, at least on CCL are adults, either fighting or absolutely smashed drunk.

That’s the point of my question. How far is too far and what should the cruiseline do?

You are not wrong but if you read the hundreds and hundreds of comments and the vast amount of YouTube videos of federally illegal drugs onboard then you would understand why

Carnival has drug dogs, not marajuana dogs, drug dogs at each home port and also onboard certain ships. Clearly they have information that non of us do.

I agree but most of the complaints are adults & kids who are unruly, etc. What defines being unruly? I do agree w you though there is a line in the sand that must be drawn.

Drugs? That is a massive part of the problem and one that has many many complaints.
