I was told on my last cruise over New Years, free steakhouse dinners or spa etc is given for every 10K in points. Don't know how accurate it is but that is what host told me.

Well also depends on the ship. On older ships they just hand you $25 cash. You can walk away with the cash.

I was just on the Legend for New Years, and we received cash.

Thank you for your review- excellent as always. I got on the Venezia, the day you got off, we were also on deck 7, I think 7235 and had Blessing as well and he was great! I actually really enjoyed most of the crew Joey, DJ Six, and casino staff were awesome. I liked the Venezia a lot more than I thought I would, wasn't a fan of Il Viaggio but everything else was awesome. You had much better weather than we did- I was surprised at how cool it was the 1st 2 sea days. I said to my sister we are in trouble because we are going on the Legend for New Years eve so probably will not even be able to go outside any sea days! looking forward to your overall thoughts on the Venezia.

I was pricing out air JFK to London. comfort plus was about $850 and Business was aprox $2400. I called cunard and got Delta business for $1550. pretty good deal IMO.

looks like I am in trouble- lol. Thank you for doing this!

When it is booked, the platinum cruise benefit must be added to the reservation. And I had to put the payment on my platinum card. When you get the confirmation it will show what the benefits are. I can see it on my cunard reservation in august.

lol- this review makes me think wow New York is really beautiful and there is so much to do, maybe I should see more- (I live in NY 🤣🤣)

I was at UBS arena (where the Islanders play) a couple of months ago to see Bruce Springsteen- Beers were $22 and a Margarita was $28 and that is with the 10% amex discount. Ridiculous.

The city looks beautiful- Great Pictures. Thank you for the review, it looks like you had an amazing time. Curious as to what you thought of all the sea days! Have a great time in NY but I do have to say Let's go Yankees!!

Happy Birthday!! Today is my nephews BD too- It is a good day!! Enjoy your last day on the ship and your time in NY!

you are right it was white paper that were bigger! the brown bad seems to rip easier.

Isn't it amazing what you can stuff into the bag- I always laugh when I send 1 bag out and get 3 back. If they thought that by switching to paper would stop me from stuffing it, they thought wrong!

I agree- my nephew, who is 22 years old and just out of college and just got his 1st job gets offers every day. (the emails come to me, unfortunately) his last cruise in 2018, he gambled with money that I gave him and it was not much. I never thought I would want Carnival to be cut and dry like the others because I always got such great offers but maybe it would be better. And no I haven't sailed many other cruise lines in the past 5 years or so. I did Windstar last summer but no casino. I do get offers from RC but they are not great and I am not a fan of NCL at all .My next cruise is Cunard and it is same casino as Carnival, so we shall see. After that I might try NCL or Virgin.

I have had that happen to me on a couple of cruises. I do know once from Seabourn that they put a sticker on the front of it- with my name on it that I kept on until it expired. It was easy for me to . identify.

I agree- I will be going on my 3rd soon. I have always sailed Europe to US. 25 hours a day instead of 23, yes please lol!

I love your reviews because I learn so much! You must be such a planner. I think you see more in 1 day than I do in a whole week-lol- have you ever done a transatlantic? I am doing the QM2 in August, they are very different cruises, especially for someone like you who likes to be on the go all the time! Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

Yes you are right they are 2 different things. I meant I am no longer receiving casino offers.

I received almost the exact same reply to an email that I had sent in- I have received wonderful offers for years. I took 2 elite cruises last year, when I got off the last in November received a free suite but now I do not have 1 offer? I sometimes wonder if Carnival knows what players club is doing. I have 3 cruises booked the rest of the year and None on Carnival, who I love and I just got to Diamond on the last cruise. Sad really.

This was what was offered when I went in November. Invited Guest’s Beverage Choice * Bombay Sapphire Gin, Grey Goose Vodka, Jack Daniel's Whiskey, Fireball Whiskey, Seagrams 7 Whiskey, Bacardi Limon Rum, Bacardi White Rum, Malibu Rum, Dos Equis Beer, Miller Lite Beer, Coors Light Beer, Conundrum by Caymus White Wine Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, La Crema Chadonnay ,La Crema Pinot Noir ,Kendall Jackson Merlot,Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon ,Tequila Herradura

I don't think concur is so bad. Although I don't really book on it- we can call or email to book our business travel, I do my expense reports on concur. What triggered me, was you doing ADP and having to track down an employee for their time! Last month when I was on the Horizon, I emailed 1 person twice and the 2nd email was do you not want to get paid?? I don't get people sometimes. Enjoying your review, you are so funny!

Have a great cruise!! Can't wait to see all your adventures!!

Love reading your reviews. I enjoy your cruise style and personality!

So did you find out, why did the chicken cross the road? 🤣🤣 Can't wait to see the Celebration! Enjoy!

I just checked in last week for my Horizon cruise next week- I stayed up until midnight. I choose my arrival time- saved it- (made sure it saved) and went back the next day to complete all the other information.
