    THIS is not true as the Casino part of your sign and sail card is known as the bank.  Its two different things.   IF you fail to close out that account by closing of the casino on the last night-- you lost all that money.  Announcements are made a lot in the casino that last night.  and its on the fun times

     

    If you fail to cash out your players bank, Carnival will send you a check in the mail (unless the amount is small - not sure what the cut off amount is.  I believe they donate that money to a charity)

  2. I am a poker player who cruises a lot on Carnival.  I like having the poker table in the sports bar on the Vista class ships since it is in a non-smoking area; however, being away from the casino makes it harder to get players.

     

    Even on the ships with the poker table in the casino, it is usually hard to find players since people don't like playing on dealer-free electronic tables... (hit or miss).

     

    I just sailed on the inaugural Panorama cruise and the layout of the sports bar (now called the Hero's Tribute Bar) is better since there is not a wall blocking the view to the poker table from the aisleway.  We actually had a full table a few times!

    We sail the 3 & 4 day cruises out of Long Beach several times a year.  Have Diamond friends who do also.  We've always had some sort of Diamond gathering- Brunch, Dinner, or PreDinner Cocktails.  Depends on the Captain and how many other Diamonds are onboard.  

    We too sail on the 3 day cruises out of Long Beach frequently (we live 50 min from the port).  Not too many Diamond guests usually.  We have had Tea on the Bridge or cocktails in the Avant Garde lounge or the Piano bar...

    My TA called the Diamond Desk and whomever she spoke to said she'd make a note for my upcoming 12/12 sailing that I did not receive them.  Apparently, I was also supposed to receive a letter in my cabin explaining the Diamond perks.

     

    I've since printed out the perks list from the website and will keep it with my other cruise docs. 

     

    Isn't there also a separate Diamond line to call the service desk?  Diamond & Platinum?  I swear I've used that # in the past but couldn't find anything in the cabin or on my docs.  I need to make a note of that, too, in case nothing shows up.  There were so many Plat/Diamond on that last sailing that I didn't want to go hang out in line.

    Diamond desk 855-386-8437

    I finally turned Diamond on the Vista back in April (cruising with Carnival since 1991).  I received the letter with the dinner for 2 at the Steakhouse and the luggage tags.  My wife turned Diamond on the Inspiration that month too and they didn't have anything in the cabin for her.  We ended up asking Guest services during debarkation to get her gifts.

    It's pretty exciting to see the ship on the ship tracker. We have 60 or so days till we board, but at least it's headed this way. It would be interesting to know if there is family or others on board. What a great trip, I believe they are going around South America, I have not heard if they are going through the Panama Canal.

    They are not going through the Panama Canal...
