What's the Carnival bartender's expectation?
TinkLoverSam replied to mfs2k's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
working at a land based restaurant where tips aren't added on the every drink and working on a cruise ship that adds an 18% gratuity to each drink ordered is very different. Of course land based servers who get nothing a a one drink order are not happy. the difference is that the bard enters on ships got their 18% on the drink already so anything on top is a happy extra. -

possibly those aforementioned racy books 😇 if Greg took a picture of almost any page on my book he'd probably get banned from CC -

This is literally my worst nightmare... I'm always afraid someone is reading over my shoulder. I have a privacy screen for when I'm reading on my phone, now I think I need one for reading on my kindle!!🫣 -

Seeking Alaska/Carnival Spirit Reviews
TinkLoverSam replied to MistyRo76's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We didn't cruise on Carnival to Alaska, we have only cruised Disney but we have done this tour for whale watching in Juneau with and without kids and it was amazing each time:https://www.stepintoalaska.com/excursions/alaskas-whales-glaciers-rainforest-trails/ -
Flight/Shuttle/Port Arrival/Boarding Question

Also if you are checking bags the last time I flew into Orlando the baggage carousel they sent out bags to was broken and it took and hour and a half after landing to get our bags. -
I have only cruised to Endicott glacier and never done Glacier Bay and it is still beautiful and awe-inspiring

I have done 2 cruises to Alaska, both in an inside cabin. I say the best cabin for an Alaskan cruise is the one you can afford that gets you on the ship! Pros of an inside cabin: It stays light FOREVER in the summer in Alaska, having the inside cabin allows you to get great sleep with no light seepage Cons of an inside cabin: there is beautiful scenery everywhere and you will have to go to a public deck to enjoy it. The pro to this is that the scenery is all around you and being on an upper, open deck allows you to enjoy being literally surrounded by the beauty

Willdra's Paramount Carnival Panorama October 15-21 Cruise
TinkLoverSam replied to willdra's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
It is beautiful just from the ship. The really nice thing about Alaska is that most ports are right in the tourist area so you walk off the ship right into the touristy port area. We did do excursions at every port but were able to do an excursion, re-board the ship for a late lunch and then pop back off to wander around the port area.
