I didn’t know this, but thank you for the information. I’m not a big gambler but I’ve never smoked, so I appreciate the new Casino area. I’ll have to look into the Panorama changes. Thanks again, Bobbi

Hi, I see in my bank statement that Carnival refunded my (2) cooking classes on my May 2025 Panorama cruise. It’s late, so I can’t call till tomorrow. Any chance this has happened to anyone else? I’m confused as I haven’t changed anything on my cruise. I booked months ago. Thanks, Bobbi

🧟‍♀️🧛🏻‍♀️ I love 🎃 Halloween time🧡🧡. I’ve been on 2 Halloween cruises with Carnival. One with my Mom and one Solo. Dressed in costumes on both 🥰😁🤣!! Dress up and enjoy!! 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

I’m going to Vegas for a couple days this month, mid week. Oh damn … I thought I’d treat myself & our son to a nice steak dinner. 😳😳 We all haven’t been for a visit since 2018. After seeing the outrageous prices (steaks starting at $68+ pp for JUST the steak at our hotel, Planet Hollywood). When did sauce start costing $6 - $8 pp? Well, I immediately went to Carnival booked mine & my hubby’s 2025 Jubilee Steakhouse Reservation. $98/2 for a complete meal didn’t seem too bad. 😂 The “nice” dinner on The Strip this month?? Need to look beyond the standard fare. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Hi, We boarded yesterday out of Miami. So much has been written about the Celebration already. I thought I’d add few brief comments herre: Sweet Tooth:I was looking forward to a slice of confetti cake . After talking with a worker at the Buffet’s , it turns out Celebration doesn’t offer the “Whole Cake” Station. Just the stand dessert station. Hand Washing: I really liked the modernized version they had on some ships. Elevator: Again I missed the system they had on the Panorama. I did LOVE: The overall feeling of spaciousness in so many areas of the ship. Lots of chairs everywhere too! Our Balcony cabin. The real shower door 🙂 Rudi’s Seagrill for dinner last night, (think that’s the name). Mark ordered the seafood bisque, Mac ‘n Lobster, Buttered Lobster (w tails) and key lime pie. He loved each course! I ordered the Coquillos (sp?) St Jacques and buttered lobster tail. Key Lime pie to go for later in the night. EVERTHING SO Delicious 😋 Right now we’re at sea. It’s overcast. I’m betting the sun will come out later. i have my Pasta Class this morning at 10:00. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

My husband and I had lunch here on our cruise in September. I chose the salmon (tasty) and another fish. Darn, I cannot remember the name. It was so deliciously moist, smooth and is “delicate” a proper term ?? to describe a taste? Just the best!! 😋😋😋 Bobbi

😁😁 Success …. Today marks 40 Days till our cruise AND the Kitchen Cooking Classes are finally available!! 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Hi, The meetings are “run” by whoever attends. If you want to attend, I can’t see why you’d not be welcome. My husband, myself & son are all sober & in Recovery. It’s always been nice to meet fellow alcoholics/addicts in these meetings. I personally have never asked someone if they “belong” in the room there on the ship 😂. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Hi, I booked this cruise oh about 4 months ago. From the day I booked, I started buying my extras . That included wanting to ink my Carnival Kitchen Class. I’m serious … I have gone online everyday since, looking to see if the classes have been listed under the Speciality Dining. Not one class. ☹️🙁 Bobbi

I can’t recall a cruise (RCCL or Carnival) where there hasn’t been a meeting offered. As we AA’ers know, not always well attended, but we only need 2 📘💙. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

FYI: I ended up calling Carnival. I first spoke to someone “Already Booked Your Cruise” Option. He saw nothing either & transferred me to “Fun Shops”. She also looked up my cruise & searched online somewhere. 🙂 Bottom Line: She is unable to view IF they already offered Carnival Kitchen. So, obviously doesn’t know if it just sold out. Her suggestions — Keep checking online everyday (I Do! 🙂). Still nothing offered by the day of the cruise, ask at Guest Services. So no new ideas but now I know 100000% that there is no help available on this subject via Carnival phone rep’s. Keeping my fingers crossed as I continue to obsessively look at my cruise each day sigh 😊🤞🏼 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Hi, Tomorrow will be 48 days till our Celebration cruise and still no Carnival Kitchen options listed. Yes, looking at the Speciality Dining under my Booking. Thanks, 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Hi, Mark wasn’t ever in a band, sorry, guess it was another Mark who worked for Carnival. Yes, our son worked onboard a few years before the 2020 Covid shutdown. He went back to the Fun Squad on the Panorama very briefly in 2021. But, he felt like the mask police & that too many of guests were giving the staff a hard time. The general loss of manners. He’s doing well and is working with his Dad in our family owned business - 30+ years! Mark will take it over one day. So, it all worked out. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

I have a Celebration cruise beginning the last weekend in January. Chris Williams is on the most current Carnival CD List (as of a few days). Sorry to hear this news. I actually notice the CD’s. Guess it’s from the days when our son was a member of Fun Squad. One of the guys he worked with, Alex, was promoted to CD. Nice guy too! 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep looking. There isn’t even ONE class in ANY of the different items they offer in the classes. Only 6 restaurant reissues are listed. 2 Bonsai Teppy (L+D), the kids Breakfast in the MDR, the Steakhouse & forgot the 2 others. Maybe something will pop up … 🛳️ Bobbi
