How odd, indeed. I heard it was brilliant.

Lounge was about as empty as I have ever seen it the night they had hasbro and nothing else.

Dont know their normal liquor sales are for the evening in the main lounge but they sure were getting there.

Great deal

Wonder what the average revenue is for the casino iswhen people take them up on these deals. Obviously they do expect to make enough to cover their costs

I have to agree with several other posters, I sent an email to my pvp's supervisor and let him know how much I appreciate her and what a good job she does for me. He replied with a thank you for the email and stated my message would be included in her personal file.:)

Great idea

So True! What pushed me over the edge was a tip jar at my MD's office. :eek:

 

Apparently her Ferrari needed a tune up.:(

;)

At a DR office, now i have heard them all:rolleyes:

I was on the Glory in Jan of last year.

 

The Blue Iguana cantina was a few steps away from where they actually make the food. Opposite the Blue Iguana cantina was the Red Frog.

 

As far as food goes out there, the burritos were Delish! Guys burgers was also out there (opposite the side from where they made the burritos). What I ended up finding was somewhat sad (to me at least), was the fact that Guys and the Blue Iguana burrito areas closed early (I want to say around 2pm).

 

Also something to note, the Blue Iguana made some excellent breakfast burritos. Was a great alternative to the buffet breakfast.

Guys closes at 6. Blue Iguana opens early for breakfast

I think tipping has gotten out of hand. A nice thank you card would be sufficient. You should tip for server's, salon services, etc. But for someone just doing their job, that isn't in an industry where tipping is required / the norm, I don't think you should do it. That's what makes stuff like tipping get out of control. Soon we'll be tipping everyone. I think it's ok to just do the job.

Tipping has gotten out of hand. Now see tip jars in subway and other places for just doing their normal job.

The pvp is a sales job and they earn commissions from sale of cabins so see no reason to tip them. Better to give them new customers thru recommendations.

I always had a problem emailing it so always would call and have them apply it over the phone

The Valor is the one ship that doesn't have a Future Cruise desk.

Wonder why??

Cuba doesn't have carriers and almost no air force

I think they were referring to the plane that buzzed them not the aircraft carrier.

Surprised that they allowed the cruise ship to get close enough to see the carrier though.

Someone was so angry they could see nothing through the Carnival "binoculars" which were once a Platinum gift, they threw it up in the air and got this picture!

Gotten some very useful gifts from carnival over the years but the binoculars were not one of them.

Actually think it is now about $ 2.95. It was sold to us as an improvement using brilliant new machines and better beans but rarely do I ever see anyone ordering it in the DR.

I am wondering if the FCCs were subject to being counterfeited and used illegally. The FCD certainly resolves this issue.

I wonder about this.

Initially they insisted you had to return to them by certified mail and than later on you could do it by email.

On Princess it seems to be embedded into your account and was no problem to apply it via a TA while on the phone booking a cruise.

We are taking a 5 day cruise on the Elation leaving 10/18. Previously there were no suites available. A few days ago a couple of suites became available. We called and they told us the upgrade would be $1300 (full price). We are currently in an ocean view. The agent told us to call back a couple days before the cruise to see if we could get a deal.

 

Do they usually give upgrade deals closer to the cruise if anything is left?

I have been watching the same cruise that leaves today and as of yesterday they still had suites available but the price was even higher on the website.

They have a dept that would call passengers to offer deals. Keep watching the website and perhaps price will come down.

I wondered why you counted up the OP's 19 cruises. Practice?:D;)

What happens when they get over 20 and run out of fingers and toes?;)

It is. Some people's mentality is questioned at times too! CNN interviewed a female in Boston area who must have been near the ER. She complained she was not told " what to do" except take a shower and monitor her temperatures. What else were they supposed to say?

Go find a bubble and become a bubble girl????

Info coming out though is getting scarier and scarier and making me wonder what we are not being told.

go to reviews and see what people have said about activities and entertainment on your ship for more info. Things do change from time to time though,

My husband just orders the cheese plate from the dessert menu in the MDR and takes it back to our cabin to eat later. Just bring along baggies!

Every once in awhile we get the cheese plate as an extra appetizer for dinner and wondering why we stopped doing this recently.

The world just keeps getting scarier.

Yeah, I liked the FCCs too. Do wish they would go back to them. I am sure it was easier to handle onboard than the rush of people at the end of the cruise that wanted to do a future booking.

Never understood why they did this. Either way they have your money.

I've not experienced a bad person on the FCD and the past two cruises the person there couldn't have been better and more accomodating.

 

Plus, I've never seen where they give a higher price than what is on the website. Though, with the multiple fare options, I can understand how that can happen.

 

Which is more reason to be prepared before walking up to the FCD and booking a future cruise.

Anyone could make a mistake but teed me off when they refused to look at the website and there was nobody on line behind me.

So much easier with FCC's like they still have on Princess. Even better we recently booked a TA with Princess for next year and the FCC became our deposits.:):)

Turkey with normal accompanyments will be on the menu

Some ports have a longer ways to go before reaching open waters so guessing that is the reason for the question.

Would think about half hour after getting going would be about right

We had a security guard with us. Asked DH just now and he also said yes, do not know if there was a special circumstance with our group? I swear, I did not cause any trouble :eek:

Could be they changed it after our tour. Was worth every penny of the $ 95.
