So do you know for a fact that not everything wasn't the same? The Op states they were. Same ship, same date,same category,same cabin type as the rules stipulate. That is everything that is required according to Carnival.

Just curious about this as it is our first time on MSC and I’ve never encountered this on other cruise lines.

Could you point out exactly where it says that it has to be the same vifp offer as I can’t see that? You will be asked to provide the lower rate amount and where the rate can be found. Lower rate must: i) be for the same ship, sail date, stateroom category and number of guests; and ii) be available for booking at the time Carnival reviews your completed Lowest Price Guarantee claim form.

We usually do that but the service was bad on the first elegant night, When we went back to the MDR on the 2nd elegant night we got put in the same section. Thankfully we only ate in the MDR twice which was an anomaly. We usually either do the buffet or MDR all week. The buffet was pretty pedestrian. Since I just retired, we splurged all week.

thanks for the correction. 🙂 Guess Miss Holly is good to go then. 🙂 Walked all over that ship last week and never noticed. lol

they did have orange soda last week on the Celebration at Miami slice.

I dont think that is the case since they offered to let them add a person for a higher fee.

You won't find that on the excel class unless you are on deck 16 or above.

Could the OP’s situation be different since the UK usually have different booking rules?

I don't know which ones were tipped or not but I tipped extra in all of them. Even Cucina and Chibang. They were working their butts off. As for the 2 nights we ate in the MDR, both elegant nights the service was not very good the first night and just a tad better the second. No extra.

LOL that's what I said on our cruise last week. My wife said your shirt is wrinkled. I said so, most people on here have wrinkled clothes. we laughed and went to dinner. At home I'm more meticulous but on vacation it's live and let live.

I second that one Tom. That was the best, the others were pretty entertaining except for the circus one.

Darn i missed it. I guess u have to ask. Just directed us to some seats in a roped off area. Didnt really matter. Sat down around 10:40am sat there for about 30 minutes and then we boarded

Just a followup about Chibang. Dinner was well worth it. Thought the food was very good. Had the potstickers, lettuce wraps, spicy shrimp entree,(didnt care for the tail shells on) an order of the noodles. one good thing about the specialty restaurants is you can order desserts from the MDR. Wife liked that. She ordered the warm chocolate melting cake. Wife had the chicken spring rolls and the sweet and sour shrimp. No complaints at all. 👍🏻😊

After all the negative stuff about Chibang, especially the Mexican menu we are going to venture in there tonight. we only went to the MDR the 2 elegant nights and the service was not that good. Our waiter was killing it but seemed like he had no help and too many tables. I agree 100% about the major downgrade in the Havana area. Way too small. The last 2 days you couldn't get a lounger in the Havana area where the pool and bar is. Glad we didn’t book one on the Jubilee. We got a balcony on the hump. still loved the cruise. Nothing is perfect. Heading home in the morning. 🙁

On Celebration right now. What’s not to like. May1cruiser pretty much nailed it. Have to squeeze in Emerils for lunch today and Chibang for dinner tonight before we get off in the morning. Doesn’t seem crowded, shows are good. Well the circus one was boring. Centerstage (grand central) is a good idea but the sight lines are not good. Not many good seats unless you get there 45-60 minutes ahead of time. Lots and lots of comedy.

He's good to go.

We used to always fly southwest but after the Airtan acquisition they have very few direct flights to fll. We cruised out of Miami last Sunday. We got lucky and found the one direct flight on southwest for $86. It was great,had 45 empty seats on the plane. unfortunately going home this Sunday we had to use American out of Fll. hopefully all goes well as i hear there is a race this Sunday.

My bad. He was on the Seaside. my apologies.

This is the replacement which my chocoholic better half loved. IMG_1122.mov

No harm, no foul. 👍🏻

Yes thats for 2 for drinks and wifi with 1 device. Price for easy plus drink package is $427 pp and wifi is I think around $70 something pp. so much cheaper paying $500 additional when you book compared to close to $1000 after the fact .

Thanks , that’s exactly what I said.😊

Oh yeah i had that too. They were just the way i like them . Breading was too soft, nor too crunchy.

Of course you are paying extra for the “free” drinks and wifi package. On some 7 day Caribbean I have been looking at the prices are about $500 more than if you booked without it. it is still cheaper than if you booked those separately.
