Great post. Goes to show you people from different backgrounds really can get along. We all really aren’t all that different. This is one of the things I like most about cruising. Too bad this doesn’t happen much in the real world back at home these days.

Carnivals terms and conditions say iMessage is NOT supported even if you pay for WiFi. So even that may not be a guarantee.

Denied boarding or denied from going ashore in those countries?

Changes to Carnival Loyalty Program
Colorado Beach Bum replied to JOHN 57's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
A quarter wouldn’t double. The post said it doubled the count and I said a small fraction - wouldn’t 1/4 be a small fraction? -

Yes that happens but I’d bet it’s a small fraction doing this. -
Changes to Carnival Loyalty Program

I never said anything about elite or ultra perks. Someone said carnival makes money on all passengers and I said it’s an average, some more, some less. But to answer your question - elite and ultra perks are covered by casino spending not other passenger non-casino spending -
Changes to Carnival Loyalty Program
Colorado Beach Bum replied to JOHN 57's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Average means some will be less, some will be way more. I’d be willing to bet they lose money on many passengers and it’s more than offset by the big spenders. -
I think so too. We were expecting high tops on jubilee and were surprised to see table height. Maybe I’m wrong but we’ve done teppenyaki on all the ships that have it and thought all were high tops.

And gamblers wouldn’t like it if it was based only on cruise fair paid - and carnival would never do anything to alienate their gamblers. i like the idea of having to have recent cruises to keep status. Maybe you can have a legacy status with lifetime cruises but if you have multiple cruises in a year you get a plus after your tier - like Diamond Plus, or Platinum Plus and Diamond, Platinum are still there. The Plus cruisers maybe get additional perks that they can’t give to all. -
Ultra Casino Cruise Offers Are On The Way!
Colorado Beach Bum replied to TravelBluebird's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Seems like every cruise these days is one of the casino cruises so hard to avoid the crowds of the ultras, elites, or premier cruises even if you don’t book one and book under a different rate. -
Ultra Casino Cruise Offers Are On The Way!
Colorado Beach Bum replied to TravelBluebird's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We just got off an Elite and it’s is more fun than just a regular casino offer. More interaction with the hosts, other players and the drawings do make it enjoyable. -
Ultra Casino Cruise Offers Are On The Way!
Colorado Beach Bum replied to TravelBluebird's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Ultras are never super compelling. The prizes are the hook. We’ve taken many casino offers and have never taken an Ultra. -
AT&T cruise package on Carnival?
Colorado Beach Bum replied to shellster1's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We turn off the data and just use it for business texts and calls. Use ship WiFi for data. Sucks paying for both but keeps us cruising! -
Bonsai Teppanyaki - Service Charge???
Colorado Beach Bum replied to lesters's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Totally worth it. I like it better than steakhouse. -
AT&T cruise package on Carnival?
Colorado Beach Bum replied to shellster1's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We’ve done att plan but just for voice and text. The included data isn’t very much so also get the WiFi. If your people at home and you both have iPhones iMessage works with WiFi plan even though terms and conditions says it doesn’t. -
Earliest port arrival time Miami
Colorado Beach Bum replied to love4monsters's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Same, 9:30 arrival for Celebration a few weeks ago. Boarding didn’t start until after 10:30. -
MIDNIGHT BUFFET ON THE CELEBRATION
Colorado Beach Bum replied to Captain Zippyjet's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I miss the deep fried Kmart burritos from when I was a kid. -
Ultra Casino Cruise Offers Are On The Way!
Colorado Beach Bum replied to TravelBluebird's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Prizes higher yes, but elite perks much better. Elite is DOUE everywhere for 2 vs drinks only in casino for one. Add in limo service, excursion, bottle of liquor plus mixers in room and much more and Elite perks far exceed the bigger prize on Ultra. -
Agree especially if they include DOUE as they usually have more fun play too. We did just get off an elite a couple weeks ago and I did win the nightly drawing twice and earned an additional $900 in fun play so it worked out.

drinks on us-everywhere on ship
Colorado Beach Bum replied to ineedadisplayname1Vbbjhju's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
DOUE works day 1 out of TX once the ship leaves port. Works for both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.
