You did get a FULL REFUND..... and 50% off your next cruise!!!!

So the WET DREAM wasn't so bad.....

From John's FB page April 17th:

 

"Here are the DIVE IN movies for the month of May to be shown on the Lido deck big screens...

Peter Rabbit

Please note Peter is also served on the dinner menu."

Personally, I’m not showing up before my cabin is ready. I’m not schlepping my carryons around through the crowds, looking for a place to wait.

We are cruising this weekend, so I just filled out all of our cruise registration paperwork. When inputting the info for each passport on the Carnival site, I got a pop-up box that said "Passport must be valid for the length of the cruise."

 

So, yes, you will have an issue with that passport, according to the Carnival site.

Leaving in the horizon out of NYC

 

My aunt's passport expires on the day we get back to NYC.

 

Is that an issue.

what's an MO?

MO= modus operandi, meaning a way of doing things.

New prime rib was def out of question.

Why? :confused:

Thanks all. Carnival said i would not pay any extra to cancel the 3rd. They will refund gratuities, port fees and cheers for that person. Or i can add someone for $169

Even if you don't cancel the person cruising, get the Cheers! refunded now. It can't be canceled on the day of sailing (as far as what the Carnival website says).

I would love to hear about what was done for Christmas. Was there a special menu?

You can't get a large bottle of wine in a those small fridges.

Do airports even have lockers, post 9/11?

I really enjoyed reading your review. The Sensation was my first cruise too, except she was brand new back then!

Did you tell the four adult kids?

When we cannot use airline tickets, we NEVER cancel anymore...we are just 'no shows' as we refuse to let the airlines keep our ticket $$ then resell our seats and charge a new pax who books our seats - they are 'double dipping'....so we keep the reservation and just don't show up!!

They're still likely reselling your seats, at standby passenger fares.

I served on a grand jury. We met one day a week for eight weeks. We sometimes heard 120+ cases in a day. Police officer, sheriff, drug agent, etc., read the police report and we were allowed to ask questions. When the officer, etc., left the room, we voted to either send to trial or dismiss. During my time in grand jury - we dismissed only one or two cases. There's really no discussion, just voting and majority rules. Hope that clarifies. I personally found serving on grand jury very interesting.

There won't be a plea deal, they only do that when they're not confident they could get a conviction or they are going for bigger fish so to speak. This one is in the bag. I'm sure he will get a conviction and maximum sentence of the charges pending against him.

The CB had propulsion issues when we cruised on her in July 2008 causing a deviation from the itinerary. Propulsion and other issues have surfaced periodically since that time to the point where we will not cruise on her again.

 

One would think the propulsion issue would have been successfully addressed in the last nine years.

 

Sailing on Fascination Aug 6. Flying DCA to JAX nonstop on the 6th. Arrival 10:45 am. Carrying on only, no dealing with baggage claim. Getting to pier using Carnival's transfer service. In my head this is plenty of time but all the comments I read on here and on a Facebook Carnival page have me thinking otherwise.

 

So: if you have had SUCCESS flying in the day of the cruise, please comment here. I know the stories are out there!!Thanks!! :-)

You have a direct flight, at a time of year when weather should not be an issue. So you've got good betting odds. Bon voyage! :cool:

I forgot to mention one other thing about the Cheers program - as long as you are the only adult (over 21) in the room, you should be able to buy it just for yourself, I think. I would, however, wait until after the ship sails so that they'll know your ex-wife didn't show up. At least I think that'll work.

When I was on the repositioning cruise on the Sunshine you were allowed to smoke on one of the sides on the Promenade decks (I think the Port side). I usually went there to read and vape in peace. An ideal place to smoke and vape...covered, a huge area, relaxing and a beautiful view of the ocean. The other side was non-smoking so everyone was happy.

That's how it was on our Caribbean Princess cruise. The joggers still got pissy, though, even though there were plenty of other places for them to run. :rolleyes:

Princess banned balcony smoking shortly before we booked, so we got a window suite instead. It was on the same deck as the cigar bar, so DH was happy. I got a huge room and a bathtub, so I was happy. Win-win! :cool:

Where do they get people's passports from? Do they riffle through their things?

They open the safe. If you hide them elsewhere in your cabin, then you'd likely be out of luck. I doubt they'd waste their time searching for them.

My DH had flowers waiting in our cabin on embarkation day, and they were totally dead by the end of the week. So taking them off the ship wasn't really an issue! :p

I drive to the ports, if I flew I would have them in my carry on.

Your reference to "checked luggage" is what threw me off.

I too don't understand this, it's very patronizing and problematic to treat people of color in the service industry like little children by giving them treats for a job well done. especially when the gesture is really a way for you to appease your guilt at having someone clean up after you all week.

Please point out where in my post I used the word racist?
