Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I agree with these answers “but” it is really a decision or lack of a decision by the front desk staff once aboard. We sailed on Conquest and made Diamond on our first day and asked what the process was on boarding day and they responded let’s look into it. Never heard back so went back again on day two and told sorry but until the system updates your points from our previous cruise (back to back) they couldn’t honor. The system updated on day three but remained platinum until our next sailing a month later. Not apples to apples and would think you will get upgraded but I still believe it’s all about what the staff onboard believe and are willing to do. In my case NOTHING.
  2. Credit is normally already loaded on your account and when you put your card into a slot machine it will pop up with a message. If wanting chips for the tables first put your card into a slot machine and have rhe funds pop up and the go to the cage. A few times on Conquest the money wasn’t on the machine and the cage will fix it for you. O cash though.
  3. Once is a rare while it may charge you for your drinks after boarding (not referring Tx or New York in which the free drinks don’t start until in international water) so keep an eye on your account. Two cruises ago right after boarding our dinks were charges and the bartender knew us and said “are you guys not on the Casino free drinks program because the system is charging you for them? We checked with the casino host who checked with the Bar Manager who said he didn’t see the charges. We showed the host our Carnival HUB account summery with the charges and she called the Bar Manager again. On day 2 they finally resolved it and backed off the charges. Moral is just keep an eye on your account and they will fix when they have an error.
  4. We just had a friend who is booked for June and when she first attempted a few weeks ago to book Breakfast it showed sold out. A few days later they added Birthday Party and she was able to book. I would respectfully encourage you to watch as these DR SUISS do sell out. happy cruising
  5. Strange is my first reaction as my understanding was the Breakfast at a lower price had been replaced with the higher priced Birthday. The sailings we have booked show the Breakfast as sold out while the Birthday Party is available. Would be surprised if you are actually able to book the Breakfast but with Carnival anything is possible.
  6. Just got another survey for next weeks cruise. I choose to complete them with the hope that someone is reading these we will see results in positive changes
  7. We have filled out this survey numerous times since they launched it and not once have we received any additional perks or heard a peep from them. For clarity we don’t expect anything and just replying about some who had thoughts that the survey may have generated perks. Maybe it did for them but certainly not our experience. I asked a few hosts and they seem to know less than I did.
  8. Not on Carnival but On Princess we saw that the crew had all checked out mentally and made it a poor trip. Having said that it was the only in many in this situation and we didn’t let it deter us.
  9. Pay part of the cruise fare with certificates and take between $1 & 2 thousand in gift cards for onboard credits. The Pursers desk makes it seamless with these larger cards.
  10. We have done conquest and it was most organized with a specific meeting location & time provided the day before. We were cared for until everyone but us were confirmed to be off the ship and in our case the Hotel Director and his designee escorted us off the ship to the pier and we made a loop de loop and passed through the facial recognition scanner and right back aboard. We then waited in the atrium bar with free mimosas until general boarding started. When then proceeded on our own to muster station checkin and given we had the same cabin as well we were able to immediately access the cabin if we so desired. We were given our new cabin cards while having mimosas’s and they had a photo opportunity with a back to back background. EASY
  11. Thank You FOR THIS POSTING….. Reading with great interest as we join you in Sunday and looking forward to hearing more.
  12. We use ur but we are not eligible for celebrity bookings with them because of being a customer of celebrity. Have some good to great offers through ur showing on celebrity so took a chance and asked ur comped and they said a hard no. Thanks for the kind suggestion though.
  13. Sounds like this Veterans Cruise post got highjacked to a COVID post
