We just got off the Miracle to Alaska from San Francisco.  You will not have ship internet for a couple of days.  The rest of the time, we had internet.  It wasnt the fastest, but it worked.

Chocolate milk is available at breakfast.  You might have to look around.  At lunch and dinner in the buffet it is available if you ask someone.  They will have to go and get it.

In the dining room, just ask.  

There is no extra cost.

It does not appear that Carnival partners with an at home covid web based testing platform?? unless someone has had better luck then I ???

Covid home tests.

Is a self-test acceptable?

If you are a person who is cold, no, I wouldn't worry about shorts.  On the other hand, I wear shorts most of the time.  If I get cold, I add a hockey jersey. 

 But, outside layers and bring a rain coat.

The last time we stayed there we use P41.  It was a park and stay promo.  

We stayed at the Hotel Maya a few weeks ago and were very happy with their park an cruise rate (P41 rate code).

pretty sure Texas is in the U.S., some Texans might disagree

I think what they were trying to say, is that it might be ok federally to transport your prescriptions in different bottles.  But when you travel to and from the port, and are in Texas, you have to follow their laws. 

I don't know what Texas law states, but here in AZ, if you are have what are considered  "Controlled Dangerous Substances", you are supposed to carry them in their original bottle.  They probably would not do anything if you had them in your daily/weekly pill containers, but do you really want to be delayed when going to the port or on your way to the airport?

Actually, In the FitBit app, under settings -> Advanced Settings, you can set the time zone and whether it uses that Automatic Time zone settings from the phone.

It would be like purchasing a table with chairs where the chairs came free  when you ordered them , only to be told just before delivery that No now you had to pay a small fee of $5 a chair , would you be happy ???

<sarcasm>

Don't give them the idea.  Cha-Ching - $5 bucks a chair.   ($10 by the pool) 

Some will say Why don't you get a grip, the sky isn't falling,  some will tell you that they don't use them, and others will tell you to open your wallet and don't be cheap. 😀

</sarcasm>

Thanks.

PRECISELY!! Open the damn wallet and order, if you must have room service!! The hysteria surrounding this new change is really funny. The sky is not falling, people! 

Thanks for telling me how to spend my money.   How much can i spend?  If they raise the price again, how much is too much?  Or are you telling me that you are going to be covering the bill?

Maybe it is not the amount of money, but the fact that this was included in the price when i booked my cruises, now it is an extra.  (and some people are on a budget!)

Hopefully they never take away something that you consider important. 

No, the sky isn't falling, and i will have a great time on my cruises.  But i will not be ordering room service.

You guys "snack" like that 3 times a day everyday?

No,  I believe my post said 2 or 3 times in a 7 day cruise.

CHOOSING to pay $4 or $5 for room service.

I wont be complaining about it,  I just wont be ordering room service.   But, the $4 or $5  for room service is not it.  It is per item.  Lets see, for my cabin, it would be 3 BLTS and 3 Chocolate milks.  $4 + $4 + $4 + $2 + $2 + $2 + tip for a quick snack.  So, at least $20.  We would normally do this 2 or 3 times on a 7 day cruise.

And yes, there is someone in the cabin that is disabled, and may not be able to make it to the Lido.  So, i can go and get it.  Wait, they took away the trays...   So, i can carry 3 plates, and the milks.  No problem.

Maybe even trying to give helpful advise to someone who may not have thought of getting a sandwich from the deli to put in the fridge for later.

I appreciate the helpful advice, but now there will be more people in line to get the sandwiches for later.  And more people getting pizza later.  And you know Carnival will not take the people that were making/delivering room service and use them the help in these other places and they will not need as many for room service, so they will be cutting employees.  So, slower service and more lines.  Yay!

Howdy

Does anyone know how busy Catalina Island will be on March 9, 2019.  This is the day of the marathon.  I know it is hard to know the future, but have you been there on previous marathon days?  We are leaving on our cruise the next day, so we thought we might run over and look around.

Thanks in advance.

Also, you can meet with the Maitre d', he usually meets with people on the first day to discuss food concerns. It is listed in the Fun Times for meeting time and location (or ask at guest services about where and when you can meet with him)

We flew into Vancouver for our last Carnival Alaskan cruise. When you embark on the Carnival cruise, they don't stamp your passport. They stamped our passports at the airport when we landed. (So, I believe it is only if you fly into Canada.)

John Heald list them on his FB page around once per month. They are for the month, not cruise. But i dont know if they change midway through a cruise if the cruise spans the month end. You could ask on his FB page.

From John Heald's fb page:

"So for Kendra and everyone else here are the Dive In Big Screen movies for August.

Rampage

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Avengers: Infinity War

Black Panther

Pacific Rim Uprising

Ready Player One

Pitch Perfect 3

Book Club

A Wrinkle in Time

The Greatest Showman

Peter Rabbit

Coco

Deadpool 2 – late night movie

Which movies would you be watching under the stars?"

We did it twice on the Miracle, didn't have any problems. (GF has COPD).

He will not be able to drink on the ship.

Off the ship, its up to the country.

So would a screenshot of my Scottrade account with 100 Carnival shares work for proof? May end up buying 100 before my next cruise just for the credit.

 

Thanks,

I usually use the last statement. Then i blank out anything that i dont want them to have, like other stocks and account numbers.

With 100 shares, you get onboard credit. (For each and every cruise.)
