Any naval architect could tell you of the significance. -
Carnival Corp record revenue and 4th quarter earnings
glrounds replied to jimbo5544's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Oldest business line to his banker in the book "We lost money last quarter, but more people are doing business with us" -
My thoughts exactly. After my last cruise out of Galveston, I've had horrific business problems and then a couple years overcoming Covid and the long rehabilitation process that follows on us "oldies". With Diamond in my sights (just a few more cruises), I would be insulted if Carnival decided to do such a thing. As Firefly eluded to, the benefits have been watered down over the years to only caring about the boarding privileges anyway. I only used the laundry once (don't give 'em anything you care about), Can't drink anymore, so that FREE drink with your brunch on a sea day is cruel. The FREE gifts and ship's pin I traditionally give away to a couple I meet on the ship. The FREE entrance into the slots tournament is now buy one get one free. Perks with the exception of pre-boarding are virtually non-existent for me anymore. Carnival would lose one of their strongest cheerleaders among the people I meet on a day to day basis. Next cruise is probably on a Princess ship out of Galveston where I'll be given a SOLO discount. Think about that Carnival ! (sorry about the rant)

Years ago, every cabin got a leaflet with a picture of two suitcases that were lost. On the last day at sea a couple turned them in. Said they found them in their cabin when they boarded and just put them in the closet ! ! ! !

If you do get a hotel, see if you can get a package deal with a hotel and plane tickets back to Long Beach.😁

CCL very small thing that hits big, for me
glrounds replied to havanadaydreaming's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
. Great shows with a real band that came out of the band pit on the front of the stage. A disco that actually played great 70s and 80s music and rocked out till the early morning hours. The ice sculpture on deck, the hairy chest contest, the cardboard horse races, all great memories. Sorry I'm just venting -
I will always love the SPIRIT Class ships. They have been my favorites for years. Have cruised all four of them. 😊

LOL, I remember those days also . . . signing onto AOL at $6.00 and hour . . . those were the days complete with that squeaky squaky connectionl

I could smell weed on every cruise I've been on it seems. Even know of a man and his wife that I've met on a previous cruise SELL it on the ship.

Carnival Panorama Debarkation Time
glrounds replied to Diamond Graham's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I can't remember the exact time the PANORAMA arrived at the port upon returning but, I've done the MR a zillion rimes (it seems) and I remember many times it returned to the port in the dark. -
Need advice! Which would you go on?!
glrounds replied to Jkeirsten1's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
The only stop in the Caribbean where I was generally fearful for my family. That would make the decision for me .also -
Panorama Nov-Dec 2023 sailings cancelled!
glrounds replied to weezal's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
My favorite also . . . would have done 3 on her also had Covid not raised it ugly head. Now I'm no longer close to LB (Texas now) so I'll probably not get another chance -
As a "one beer a day" drinker on cruises (non on land because of a deal I made with the State of California 4 decades ago) I'm now putting in my bid to buy drinks for any and all you lushes for a $5 premium. 😁 I'm sorry, but I must say, if you require more than 15 drinks in a 24 hour period to have fun, you're a drunk and, unfortunately, you'll most likely will be the last to know it. I apologize for being the Debbie Downer and I know some of you will never agree with anything I have to say in the future, but that's life.😂 ,

At 84 years of age, that sounds like something I would say and most definitely think.😂

I know it's old, but take half the clothes you think you'll need and DOUBLE the money. You'll love the Panorama and its journey down the coast.
