Wrong assumption never took my grandkids on Disney.
My point is, I don't care what other lines or boards are saying/doing and if Carnival is letting other lines try ideas, and possibly fail, that's a business decision that helps keep their costs down and they don't waste as much money. No harm in that. Why be so concerned? You don't mention how that hurts your cruise.
As for the jokes or comments on another board, it's like being on the playground and complaining 'mommy, they made fun of me.'
Ah well, it's your issue. I'm outta here on this one.
