They don't have veggie burgers at Guy's anymore. You have to go to the Deli...

(Inspiration and Vista - not sure about the other ships)

I got my diamond luggage tag on my 3/31/19 cruise on the Vista.

The luggage tag is still on the VIFP benefit list - https://www.carnival.com/vifp/benefits.aspx

We are on the Inspiration and got the blanket.

"The Department of the Treasury will implement further regulatory changes to restrict non-family travel to Cuba. These new measures will help steer American dollars away from the Cuban regime or its military and security services who control the tourism industry in Cuba," Bolton added.

I have a Cuba Cruise schedule for June.  I have been worried that the US would stop travel to Cuba due to them helping Venezuela.  Looks like it's going to happen...

Has anyone heard if they are going to add more parking with the Carnival Panorama arriving this December?

Another parking structure? or ?

I'm Diamond sailing out of Galveston on the Vista.  My boarding zone is C5 and my appointment time is 12:30pm-1:00pm.  Not sure what the boarding zone logic is?

I booked AFT

Sad but true....

I recall late last year, Heald made the announcement that Guy's Burger would offer a Vegan burger - I have been on the Carnival Inspiration 5 times since the announcement and I still cannot get one at Guy's - I have to go to the Deli to get the Vegan/Vegetarian patty and then go back to Guy's to get toppings and fries (what a hassle)...

Could someone on this board who has Facebook access (I don't use FB), reach out to John Heald and see if he has heard any news recently on the status of updating the VIFP program and report back?

Thank you

The (new) Carnival Long Beach, CA cruise terminal is great!  I have cruised out of there at least ten (10) times in the last twelve (12) months.

We usually get there around 11am, park in the parking structure, and usually board within 15-20 minutes (VIFP Platinum)

The new VIFP Diamond/Platinum room is LARGE (old room was SMALL)

John Heald posted some discount codes last November (plus I got an additional 10% with my Carnival CC)

Has anyone heard any recent rumors?  John Heald has been quiet on this since posting about it well over a year ago...

I think 75 to 200 is too long to wait between levels - I know this first hand since I am 3 points from 200!

I hope they don't make any changes before my next cruise...

I was going to post the same question.  I thought they were working on some changes and I have been patiently waiting...

I agree 75-200 is a long time to wait.  I'm at 197 and have been cruising on Carnival since 1991.

I checked the CDC website (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/inspectionquerytool/InspectionSearch.aspx)

I didn't find any recent issues with Carnival...

John Heald posted this today:

Thank you to everyone who took advantage of the discount codes for our black Friday excursions discount. There were some glitches with those trying to book Cuba and Nassau excursions

My apologies and those glitches have been fixed by the beards.

We will extend the discount for the next 24 hours using the codes below.

A few weeks ago, John Heald announced:

The popular Guy’s Burger Joint on Carnival Cruise Line is now offering Vegan Burgers across the fleet. The new choice will be in addition to the regular meat choices on Carnival cruise ships.

I was on the Carnival Inspiration this past weekend and went to Guy's to try the new vegan burger - to my surprise, they didn't have it - they told me I had to go to the Deli to get one! 

(I went to the Deli and they had them - not on the Deli menu either)

I used to order the "veggie" burger in the past with no problems...

I wonder if this is the case on all the Carnival ships?

Looking forward to the inaugural cruise on 12/11/19 (3 day) and 12/21/19 (7 day) !!!

I was on the Splendor 8/4-8/11 - Steakhouse rocks! (went 3 times) - Chef's table was great too!

Parking was a problem since they did not open the parking structure until after 11:30 when I had a 11:30am boarding :( - they wanted me to park downtown and take a shuttle bus - no thank you! -- we arrived around 10:30 and ended up boarding around 11:30am

We arrived on 6/23/18 for our Carnival Magic cruise at 10:15am and by the time we got through check-in and security (10:30), they we already boarding group 4... I thought we would get there early enough for the Diamond/Platinum boarding - I was wrong!

33 cruises on Carnival. I think we have only had issues a few times and have had to request a fan. Last time was on the Carnival Magic on 6/23/18 voyage.

I understand that casino cash gets added to your sail and sign account and can only be used for gaming. Can someone who has done a Premier with this method tell me what happens with your winnings? I am a slot player. TIA
