You will love the Carnival Celebration,
you could not choose a better Carnival Ship.
We Sailed on her in April and it was an amazing cruise.
Thanks for that video! Gives a good idea of what to expect.

Do they have Driver's Ed in Barbados? Why do they still have car wrecks then?
No we don't have driver's edu. classes here...
and btw we love our car wrecks - lol.
We spend our days eating roasted breadfruit on the beach
and dancing the nites away... to the bongo drums!
I live on this beach: address all fan mail
to Aplmac, Barbados. I'll get it!

They have parenting classes in the US too!
Delighted to hear that - and to know they're working
for the wider cruising populace too,
as evidenced in this (appalling-behaviour) thread!
GO USA!- 1

Some more advanced countries offer Parenting Classes
to prepare idealistic newly-weds for the grim reality
of their future with brats!
It's a great idea, actually -bcoz most young ppl
of reproductive age and the attendant urges .. are quite clueless.

100% nailed it!!!
It is the decline of the American family and discipline, etc.
I see it everywhere, not just cruise ships....
but don't get me started either!😡
Visitors to my island Barbados
often comment on how very polite and well disciplined
our island kids are!
Of course we take it for granted (it's just how we are!!)
but it's true: a strongly-British-Colonial social trend
for the last 300+ years helps!
A few evenings ago,
a small group of us older folk were chilling out in the breeze
on the Hastings Boardwalk, when three boys aged about 10-12
passed us on their way to the sandy beach,
and they all said Good Evening as they passed our senior presence.
I turned to my wife and mentioned
how nice and mannerly the boys were.
So it's not everywhere: there are still a few holdouts!
Here's a regular Sunday evening grouping of Ye Elderly!

And, there will be about 16 of these rooms, total
(chill or freeze).
One each is dedicated to each type of protein
(beef/pork, poultry, seafood).
Interesting! Many thanks.
I like knowing how systems work.
Unlike many others, I don't take systems for granted.

Or online before the cruise. I ordered several of the 50th anniversary towels before our last sailing.
That's what I did too: ordered online before the cruise
and found it waiting in the cabin, when we boarded.
Towel quality was not great though (you get what you pay for)
- it was a bit on the flimsy side, but we still have it.- 2

That's not a real Ship sign and sail card.
It's a custom made tag for the duck.
LOL -you're so right! That totally escaped me (old eyes!).
Thank you!

While this is may be true on the older ships,
the air vents in the cabinets on many of the newer ships
are located strategically to take advantage of natural cooling caused by the chimney effect created within the cabinet.
Convection occurs due to the air being drawn in through the lower intake vents and exiting through the upper vents at it warms up by the heat given off from the cooler.
Opening the cabinet door causes the air around the unit to stay stagnant instead of having an updraft.
I'm delighted to hear that tech. suggestions made a decade ago
have now been introduced to improve heat dissipation!
There has been lots of discussion (multiple threads) over time.
Hopefully this new tech. has also been retro-fitted
to older ships as well, per dry dock!

Interesting Carnival cruise card you showed there!
I haven't cruised now for 8 long years
so your card looks different to what I last saw (and collected).
Seems longer than standard card-size??
If you're not emotionally attached to itI'd love to add it to my collection (anyone else,too!)

Those cabin fridges work a lot better
if you leave their cabinet door open for periods of time.
Heat-exchange units need circulating airto dispel air on the Hot side of the system
(so they can effectively make Cold on the other side).
Ask any refrigeration technician.- 2

The fish-fry nites at Oistins don't only happen on a Friday.
If you like jostling crowds, then Friday's your night
but on other nights of the week, it's a lot less crowded
and consequently service is quicker. Your choice.

I'm confused.
Trying to convince us or yourself?
It's not my money and none of my business.
Agreed.
Sounds like a lot of $$$$$
to invest in a urine-conversion program......

I wish there was "status portability" between Carnival Corp brands.
I know it is a sore subject for some cruisers.
We are Platinum on Carnival, just a cruise or two away from Diamond.
We are going on the HAL Amazon cruise next year
and it would be nice to take our status with us to HAL.
We have done 14 cruises: 11 on Carnival, two on Ocean Village,
and one on Caribbean Princess.
Every one of them a Carnival Corp. ship!Yet no portability among them: ridiculous...

My wife says I now rattle when I walk
due to the cardio-meds I take, post-STEMI.
I swallow about 8 pills a day (and night)
but WTH they keep me alive so I can cruise again, some day!And by the way:
Heart Attack and Stroke are the same thing -
Cardio-Vascular Disease. One manifests in the heart..
the other.....in the brain.
