You are correct about Jiji's.  There were 4 or 5 specific bowls that you could get.  They told us that you couldn't change them.  All of the comedy shows fill up.  If you want your pick of seats, you need to be there about an hour before.  We liked seats along the back, so they were usually available longer.

They are doing this cr@p fleetwide.  Same thing with omelets.  It is no longer Burger King.  It is our way or the highway.

This may be on purpose so the new ship can be named Legend

I wouldn't be surprised if Carnival puts some reserves on their books for this incident.

My final reply. An 8x10 and the digital file are not the same thing. If you want both you'll have to pay for both, or don't buy anything at all.

Thanks for the tip.  I will update you after my cruise

I think most people are able to understand the concept of a bundle and the fact that some bundles don't include everything I may want.

 

For example at Chick-Fil-A I don't consider it being charged double if I want a cookie even though I've already ordered a #1 meal.

But the #1 meal comes with free refills of my lemonade.  They dont charge me again for the same thing

Just genuinely asking - what part of my post was unclear to you?

The part about them charging you double

Everything that is included in the package is listed on the website. If digitals are included they'll be listed. If not you'll have to buy them separately. 

Really????? They don't give you the digital images????

How much is a bottle of Dom Perignon on the ship?  If you have DOUE from the casino do you get 25% off?  

No poker tournaments on Carnival.  They only have a few ships with a single digital poker table

I see it listed by the bottle on the steakhouse wine list from Saint Greg's blog:

Anyone know how current these links are?  In particular the bottles of wine/champagne

Does it say that on a sign somewhere?  I haven't seen any pictures of the pool rules.  I know in Amber Cove they could a year ago.

That is gross

Following to see if anyone has insight

Hoping for more tips on Curacao

I wanted to share our experience with Top Drive jeep rental in Aruba, since I could only find limited reviews prior to our cruise.  

 

For booking, I emailed our requests to Top Drive and they were extremely helpful.  We were given options to pay upon rental or pay prior upon arrival.  We chose to rent from the Manchebo Beach Resort, which was a short $20 cab ride for 4 from the cruise port.  It was very easy getting a taxi upon immediate exit from the cruise terminal building, with the taxi stand on the left. Upon arrival at the Manchebo Resort, the staff were extremely friendly and courteous, directing us to the Top Drive section of the main hotel's front desk.  The jeep was ready as booked and the staff were so prompt and nice, bringing the jeep to us and looking over the vehicle.

 

We rented a jeep gladiator with the beach package, which included 2 chairs, 2 snorkels and a cooler.  The jeep and beach equipment were in excellent condition.  We enjoyed having the gladiator as it gave an easy area to keep the beach chairs and keep the jeep clean.

 

For the day, we drove to the aloe factory, the donkey sanctuary, the red anchor, seeing the wild donkeys, Baby Beach with lunch at Big Mama's, finishing at Boca Catalina.  We got gas at Citgo Sasaki (where they were very friendly helping us tourists figure out their system), before returning the jeep to Manchebo Beach Resort. 

 

We had arranged for a later drop off with Top Drive since we're in port so long.  Since it was after hours, the keys were given to the resort front desk, and the staff kindly summoned a taxi very promptly.  

 

Of note, Aruba does not follow daylight savings time like our cruise ship did (Carnival) so in November, the time on Aruba was one hour later than Ship's time.  This is important when booking the times of the jeep.  

 

All in all, we had one of the best port days we've ever had.  I highly recommend Top Drive, for their friendly service and great equipment.  We loved having chairs at the beach of our choice.  Of note, the people of Aruba had to be the most courteous drivers we've ever met.  Maybe it helped that the jeep identified us as tourists with the logo on the side.  

Great review.  How much did the rental cost for the day?  Did that include insurance?

Congrats on being a cruise addict 🙂

Odds are horrible on those.  Typically book of tickets pay about 50% of the book value

Quite a few have left for other cruise lines

get one with each drink

Yes there will be one

Remember the sticky buns they used to serve at breakfast?

Miss them

I did the the Catamaran one through Carnival and it was awesome.  Highly recommend 

Any updates to this thread?  Any successful rentals?

Anyone do this?

I think there is a chance on the Celebration it is moved to Thanksgiving

In each of the links you provided, there's a section under the marketing paragraph with bullet points saying "What's included?". That clearly lays out exactly what you get with each package.

What is this?

• A beautiful signature photo from Carnival's National Geographic award-winning photographer, Radu Ursu!

Just a random picture of nature or this person takes a picture of me so I get a 6th?
