Celebration Dinning and Drink Menus
illinoisfive replied to pajazz28's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I thought that on the Celebration that both Chibang and Cucina were free for dinner as many days as you would like if you have Any Time Dining? I know that on Mardi Gras there is a fee after one visit, however I did not realize that it was changed for Celebration also? -
my last two cruises i purchased the Social Plan and had no problem using WhatsApp. I could use iMessage for the first few days, but then that stopped working. My husband did not have any plan and his iMessage worked the entire cruise. Go figure.

I thought that I could use the meal at either the Steakhouse or Rudi's or another Specialty Restaurant on ship? And does it have to be used on that specific cruise?

Looking for Saint Greg pre cruise Seattle live
illinoisfive replied to illinoisfive's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thank you all so much! yes that is the one I was looking for. My daughter is in Seattle for a last minute trip and I love how Saint Greg is detailed with this city tours prior to his cruises! He is great! -
I have been searching for his live review where he stayed pre cruise in Seattle. For some reason I cannot locate it (I am sure that I am not looking in the right places). If anyone can provide the link I would appreciate it. Thank you!

was on the horizon end of april. i had social package and imessage worked for the first three days and then not again. my husband did not have any package and his imessage worked the entire 8 days. i figured considered myself lucky if it worked at all with social package and especially no package. whatsapp worked perfectly as it should.

Megan, when do you sail next? I love your reviews!! -
I came off the Horizon this past Sunday and bought the Social Package. I used Whatsapp to converse with kids back home. imessage also worked for the first few days but then that stopped working so I went back to Whatsapp. You can aslo send/receive pictures through the app which is great too!

I did say that the guests were nicely waiting.

It was unusual in my situation also as I have never had a problem with it on previous trips. When I nicely pressed the fact after being told no, I mentioned that I thought it was a Platinum benefit. He then told us to go ahead to leave immediately after putting carryon in closet. All they had left to do was vaccuum the room, so it was not that the room had to be cleaned according to his partner. They were both nice, I do not mean to sound like they were rude. Too many rooms for these poor stewards. And yes we were shocked that the actual boarding onto the ship was 10:15! The poor workers at Guy burgers and Blue Iguana were not ready to serve lunch yet and people were nicely waiting in line.
-
mz-s true it would have been ready earlier. my complaint was that as platinum i am allowed to drop my carryon in stateroom when i board, i even had the letter stating so with me, but i was given a hard time by the steward. i did not expect to have the stateroom ready. with that being said, our steward has so many rooms to clean that he was working most of the day every day and he did a good job on my room.
-
April 29 Horizon we were told to sit in a specific area, however we are Platinum and were given a O boarding card and boarded according to zone. Actually after the woman called the K zone she then said it was open boarding. Did not appear that status mattered. Boarding began at 10:00 AM and we were on the ship by 10:15 which was great except that the room steward did not want us to drop our carryon in the room even though we printed off the Christine Duffy letter that we received a few days before that allowed for Platinums to drop off luggage in room and leave.

i took the second slot 10:30-11:00. guess that makes sense.
