Hopefully. I have been booked since April and its never been there

My carnival hub app says i need to be connected to carnivals wifi and still has details of last cruise?

Yes we loved the havana cabana. The prices now are a deal breaker for me but if I am booking a Carnival cruise I'll book an inside just to stay in the cabana area. The prices we paid for havana cabanas on the Horizon and Celebration. 2 days after I booked the Celebration he prices went up about $800-$900. we got lucky on that booking.

And how does one do the vaccination attestation if it's not in their things to do list on Carnivals page?

Yes they do. Its a ship within a ship. Loved our cababa on the Horizon so much we booked the Celebration as soon as we got back.

Still waiting …..

So are you saying you don’t trust TPG?

I dont know want that either but its happening everywhere including where I work. People just get burned out.😒

Just let me say this. When we were on the Horizon in April they had 2 or 3 workers there per night. With 3 it was close to being the keystone cops. adding additional workers I just cant see it working but what do I know. I do know the oven was full constantly and as soon as the pizza came out they were cut up and served which accommodated about 8-10 people. Then there was a lull until the next batch was done. Those guys hustled their butts off but IMHO they are set up for failure.

So you’re saying as soon as staffing levels are back up to pre pandemic cruises all the things you listed will be reinstated? Once something is gone it’s not coming back. if the pizza place ran smoothly you wouldnt be in line for over an hour. It doesnt matter how much staff they have there the pizza oven is still the same size and they cant cook any faster thus causing the backup. the items like lasagna which are added you still have to stand in the one line there for an hour or so. just too much demand for one venue.

Sounds like you’d have to live there for the rest of your life.🤪

Thank you. We were on (dare I say it on this forum) Royal when we went there. As I said we were never told anything that you needed a passport to get off the ship in Barbados.

Is this a recent change for Barbados? We went there right before the pandamic. There was no mention of a passport when we went.

I wonder how I got targeted earlier this week. I only cruised once on Carnival since 2011 and I don't spend much money onboard. We don't gamble or drink. I got offers for 3-4 day cruises for $60. Sadly it's not worth the hassle to fly for a 3-4 day cruise and it is cost prohibitive.

the heftiest I've seen posted on here is $249

Sounds like the business model "easy cruise" had.

I am not sure that they use untreated ocean water. I always thought they used desalinated water from the ocean. I didn’t think Carnival had salt water pools. like they say the mind is the first to go so you may be right

Let me preface this by saying I didn’t take economics 101. in your last sentence you say since Carnival can’t reduce fares they have to reduce cost. Do you mean they can’t reduce fares since they are already giving them away at rock bottom prices or free? And how would reducing fares maximize profits? i would have understood if you said since they can’t raise prices , but again I did not take the class.

I wonder if the people on the poop cruise would agree with that? 🤪

I thought you meant the Sgt Shultz who used to post here. He is gone but there is another poster that has strange similarities to him.

If only they were in our budget.😕 We have champagne taste on a beer budget. Even NCL is out of our budget. Start with an inside cabin for $699 pp and before you know it your total is $2500

Looks like RCI was ahead of the curve on this.

you don't even get a good experience anymore at Disney and they still keep coming!

Didn't you just say this: ? : "Don't know if they still are set up like that. I don't do a lot of breakfasts on cruises these days." If you don't know how can you take a stance stating it's baloney?
