LOL! My brain was elsewhere. Apologies.

Never mind. Been a long day with a death in the family. Sorry for the incorrect information.

Probably another port, two more glorious days of fun and two less days you'll have to be at your job!

Thinking this is someone who needs to find something to do to keep the self busy....

The price drop would be on a CABIN category, not the deck. If your category is sold out, then there would be no price drop available.

He doesn't have to have a passport. Although I feel strongly about having one, he can certainly go with his birth certificate and government issued photo ID. No reason to stress over a weekend getaway.

Actually, OP, Monday's sale was a 12-hour sale, not a 24 hour sale.

Wish I had been up at midnight last night ..... [emoji53]

Can you request that a cheese and fruit tray ordered from fun shops prior to embark be delivered to your cabin say on the 3rd day of sailing? Just curious, if I wanted to host other guests, etc... a party.

When you order prior to embarkation through the Fun Shops, you can pick any day and time-frame for delivery. You will also pre-pay for the item(s).

I will be sailing on the Breeze in December and am booked in a spa balcony. I understand that there is a discount on spa services. Will that discount apply if I pre-book or should I wait until I'm onboard? Thanks in advance.

Call them and find out why.

Maybe you should call back and talk to someone else. Also is it possible that you are booked in two-person rooms?

Actually the gratuity depends on when you booked and what the criteria was when you booked. Read the UBP contract you received via email.

As a previous poster said you might get something when booking thru the groups department for the 7 cabins. The single booking is independent and on its own.

Need to book 8 cabins at a minimum for group status.

Unfortunately, carnival has the right to make changes. If you booked through a TA he/she should have advised you. Maybe you could change to the Breeze out of Galveston.

I am new to CC and cruising in general. This being said, to seems to me in the last few months as I have been getting acclimated here; there have been lots of CCL changes IMO. Though many changes are somewhat minor to me at this time but not to all here on the CC soap opera "As the Ship Docks." :rolleyes: Ha Ha Ha.

Are some of these changes happening now been in the works for a long time? Or is it just my timing here and everything coming together like a perfect storm? I understand the industry needs to keep evolving but, is the frequency of J.Heald "announcements" and the like normal things to expect from Carnival?

My cruise is 8 months out but have been mentally setting up plans/ lists, not sure how good of an idea this is. I mean I am not going out buying bottled water yet only finding out I can't bring it aboard anymore for example. Or telling my DW about her getting to go to the VIFP party she that has now changed to a drink coupon being that she is gold. These changes are rather minor but I wonder what else is in store before we travel.

Welcome to what I call LIFE. It's all about change. It happens constantly with every aspect of life.

No problem! I have the link saved because I could never remember it was called luggage express. LOL

I have been reminded recently about the fact that Carnival offers Luggage Express. I might like to take advantage of it out of Long Beach in August, but not because of the new liquor distribution. I would use it to prevent us from having to lug around bags since our flight isn't until 4PM. We want to do some site seeing. What ports offer this service?

Once you are booked they can't just take away your benifits for the spa. They have to keep those for you regardless.

Can you link the policy that says this?

Hi OP,

I am diabetic and I am high risk for heart failure and I am on a struck diet, I ordered the bottle water for $2.99 for twelve bottles, I can not have the Diet sodas because it has Asperatain in it which is rat poison and it affects my kidney function and my liver function, so my Dr. told me that I can not drink that He also told me I can drink a sprite if I really need the soda, it is low in sugar and no caffeine, I usually don't drink soda carbonation is not good for you anyway, I live off of water or unsweet tea. I have been on 20 cruises and I usually drink sprite if I have to have it but mostly just water and unsweet tea. I have just been diagnosed with the heart failure and I started the no salt diet and I can tell you when we go cruising I have no problem sticking to what I have to have. I don't eat the deserts I eat fruit. It is not that hard to let them know what you can and can not have they will accommodate you. Good luck and best wishes

Again, carbonated drinks are a NO - GO for gastric bypass patients.

I understand you're upset. No one likes to have to change from their routine. It is lousy that you have to come up with other choices because others pushed the limits on smuggling. Diet-Rite Cola is caffeine free, very low sodium, sugar free and comes in cans. That is what my mom drinks. Not totally convenient but if you bring an empty sports bottle you could always pour the extra in that for storage. Sorry this has impacted you this way.

Gastric bypass patients cannot have carbonated beverages.

That being said, I'm cruising in December .... I'm not special or platinum, but I had gastric bypass 2 months ago. I have purchased 3 cases of water and my individual packets of crystal light are going with me. No big deal.

It does not appear that Diet Cranberry Ocean Spray comes in a can. But there are plenty of flavored diet packets to put in a water bottle.

P.S. By the time of your cruise OP, I'll bet your diabetes is gone!

Just ordered one for my Sept 24 B2B cruise on Paradise. I read this last night, and figgured it had to be a mistake, and Carnival would change it pretty quick.

Tonight it's still there, so I took advantage of it.

Since they charge over $20 for 8 lg bottles, I have a feeling that price was supposed to read $12.95, at least. But I'll take the $2.95 happily. Great deal

It's a sale not a mistake.

It's not a glitch, it's a full-out sale. I asked when I called to cancel my previously ordered 12-pack for $21.00. Nice and helpful and was able to replace the previous order with 3 12-packs...saved $13.00. Such a great deal.

http://www.mhross.com i just purchased insurance for 4 without them being secondary and up to 50,000 medical and trip insurance cancellation and it only cost me 96.00 total seems like a good deal to me.

 

I was ended up in the ship hospital with my son first asthma attack ever and the total bill was over 900.00 so i am going to be on the safe side from now on and just purchase insurance if it only cost 96.00 total.

 

I hate to pay it but peace of mind is priceless with 2 teenage boys. You never know when you they need sticthes or broken something or other.

Wise decision. Just note that insuremytrip.com has numerous policies and companies they deal with. You can put in all your criteria to find the best policy for you.

How long after you book your cruise you can purchase trip insurance from insuremytrip??

Go to insuremytrip and look at the policies. There are different requirements for the different inclusions. My suggestion is to go in ASAP. You don't want to wait too long.
