HOUSTONVIP

it's not a big deal, I just figured that after not cruising since pre Covid, I would have got the same treatment I was used to as a Platinum cruiser. Showed up at dinner and had to be told, we needed to check in via the AAP

not sure where you get your  "announcement" but it was never clear to us. Disappointed that it wasn't made clear.

I just figured they did away with them to save money, Not a big deal, I guess I should have pursued it

Just back off the Breeze, first cruise since Covid. Fun times, No masking. Felt pretty normal, however, As a Platinum Carnival cruiser, I was very disappointed that there were ZERO Platinum perks. No Pin, no gift, No Brunch cocktail, no In room treat. Nada. Yes we got Priorty boarding. I have been Platinum for a while, but this was my wife's first cruise as a Platinum guest. I guess things have changed.

My wife loves the Spa deck cabins, Love the open balcony, My favorite part is using the spa showers. Way bigger and towels provided. And no one running up and down the halls late at night.

Love a lanyard. not to wear around my neck but to have something bright and colorful attached so that FINDING the card in the room is easy. Plus it's easier to carry around and harder to lose if something is attached. hangs nicely on the hat rack, I would say don't wear it around your neck if it's your first cruise, that's a rookie mistake. "look at me I'm a newbie!!!!" Likewise, Platinum and Diamond cruisers are just showing off. Some veteran cruisers have cried foul to me when I point out wearing first cruise sign and sail cards around the neck is hilarious.Of course they are welcome too.

Off the Vista in May, I heard the Skyride was shutdown on the Vista for mechanical reasons. Put together a few clips of it to bring back memories

Blue in Cozumel, Turquoise in Belize!

Just off the Vista, Always wanted to shoot a video at Chankanaab Park, but the weather wasn't quite cooperative on the days I was there. This time it was perfect. Carnival offers an excursion there or you can take a 5 minute cab from Puerta Maya.

Just off the Carnival Vista. Chankanaab Park Cozumel is great place to go. Carnival offers an excursion there, or you can go on your own. Snorkel, swim or just enjoy a cocktail on the beach. I wanted to shoot a video there the last 3 or 4 times I was there, but the weather didn't cooperate. This time it was perfect!

Just off the Carnival Vista. Here is a video of Chankanaab Park in case you wondered if it was a good place to go on your own in Cozumel.

Since you enjoyed The Valor Video. here is one I did on the carnival Magic a couple of years ago

OMG Houston, we have a winner! Carnival needs to give you a big fat discount on your next cruise for posting this beautiful commercial! Love the steel drum music, and super jelly that you are right there where you can cruise any time!

Thanks....22 Carnival cruises all out of Galveston...45 minutes from the house!

thanks for the Love!

awesome video, great quality! What type of camera did you use?

mostly GoPro Hero 6 with Karma grip stabilizer, also JVC GY-HM 100 ProHd Camcorder,

Just back off the Carnival Valor. Here is the new video

Just back home from the Carnival Valor, so I posted a new video

This was mentioned once or twice before, but may have gotten “lost” here. I would suggest purchasing “cruising the vineyards”, which can be done along with bringing two bottles on board. The pricing seems a bit more reasonable to me, still quite high, but better.

Thanks for bringing it back to the original post. I was getting tired of all the lecturing about rule breaking, smuggling, ruining the vacation etc. I was just pointing out that we like to pre-purchase some wine and liquor (at the ridiculous prices to have the convenience). And we were surprised that carnival changed the rules to limit pre-prurchases of liquor in February. And it was no where to be found on the FUN SHOP webpage. We are happy to buy a wine package once we get on board. Just couldn't find any info on that pre-cruise.And of course we each bring one bottle on. But that might only get us through the first night!

a Bottle of Crown Royal is 100.00 plus gratuity, no wonder people sneak liquor aboard

we do. 2 Bottles? that will get us through night one..We just like to have it WHEN we want it.
