Old Fart Cruisers

Stop blocking all of the walkways and stairways with photographer's backdrops, light stands, risers, ladders, Etc. Just let the people who want professional photos on board get them taken in the studio or one of the other venues that isn't being used at that time. All of that equipment and backdrops could easily be set up in the theater, comedy club, dance club, or any other venue that is available at the time.

Sorry you had to cancel. We should have been on a cruise to Hawaii right now, but had to cancel so I know it sucks.

This really depends on the ship. Carnival Spirit class staterooms are almost ALL 185 square feet (interior, oceanview or balcony or extended balcony (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4K, 6A, 7A, 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, 8F, 8J, 8K, 8M, 8N) Also, almost all rooms include a sofa. There are a few miscellaneous rooms within these categories that vary slightly in size or shape, but not many. You would have upgrade to a suite, deluxe room, or handicap room (230 sq ft 9A, 9B - 245 sq ft VS - 275 sq ft JS, OS - 300 sq ft GS) to see an increase in room size on this class ship.

We selected a balcony on deck 5 to be closer to the water on an Alaskan cruise on Spirit to have a better chance of seeing whales. We could have chosen any of the higher decks for no additional charge when we booked this room. The starting price of $510.00 that they are offering is for the same standard balcony, NOT an extended balcony

I thought this sounded like it might be kinda fun, but after reading it again I'm not so sure. Does it end up just being a drawing? It doesn't even say one winner drawn from all CORRECT accusation slips. . . . Carnival Caper has seven activities for the guests to attend/complete in order to gather all the clues to solve the mystery. Guests must discover who stole the painting, what tool they used to break into the cargo hold and what location they shipped the painting to. Guests will then enter their accusation slips into a box where one winner will be drawn during The Big Reveal event.

The OP included a link to exactly what they ware asking about. They are asking about the mystery game (referred to as Clue pre-pandemic), NOT the throwback version of the Fun Times.

Maybe Mike's wife doesn't want him to know how much she is gambling that she's getting Elite offers from the casino, so is telling him all of those perks are because she is platinum. 🤣

You could try to resubmit the claims for OBC individually. It's possible one or two of your 6 cruises are discounted more than others causing the rejection and the person didn't bother checking all booking numbers. I have had casino offers rejected, then accepted after I resubmitted it a week later for the same booking number. Good luck.

You can ask your room steward for a wine chiller bucket and keep that full of ice in the fridge. Not only will the fridge stay plenty cool, but the ice will last at least a couple day without melting. The regular ice bucket will also work, but it takes up much more room in the already small fridge. The wine chiller buckets are taller than the regular ice buckets, so you have to adjust the shelves accordingly, but I still think the smaller diameter worked better. Also, the wine chillers don't have lids. Make sure you let your room steward know that the ice is in the fridge so he knows to check inside to refill it.

It worked like this for us sometimes but not on other cruises, so I asked our PVP about it. The offer has to be available for each person at the time of booking, not something you might receive later. Now we always have him check the available offers for all four people in our group (sometimes he finds offers that we didn't even know we had), and makes sure that it is noted in the booking. He will also include an email listing each person's offer, since you can never find it listed anywhere later. Haven't had any problems all getting the Freeplay since he started doing that.

They are just the result of some extremely poor choices made by the design team.

I used to get some really great offers, but since the ships have been filling up lately my offers have been more like that one.

Have a great trip!

Also, RAKUTEN gives another 1% back with Newegg purchaces. That would save another $4.50. www.rakuten.com/r/FRED9625?eeid=28187www.rakuten.com/r/FRED9625?eeid=28187

Related to saving $50.00, I just got a $500 Southwest Airlines gift card at Sam's Club for $449.99 that on plan on using to get to my nest cruise.
