Does anyone besides Americans play cornhole?

No.  Who said Americans play it?!  You need to check your source.

Not many Americans play corn hole.but lawn darts now that's what I'm talking about.

Some are more suited to lawn darts!  My guess is you are good at it! LOL

I'm glad you provided picture, I was a bit concerned.

 

ETA, I haven't seen that game on any ship but I did see skeet shooting off the back of ships in the 80s.

No need to be concerned.  Just educate yourself a little.  Things have changed since the 80's.  Try getting out more often! LOL

Hello!

Tried MSC Seaside out of Miami about 2 yrs ago.  Very nice ship but really enjoy playing cornhole aboard.  Unfortunately, no boards were available for passenger use.    Anyone know if that has changed yet?

Thanks in advance!!

Testing would greatly reduce the risk of a virus problem on a ship and make the islands much more comfortable with letting a ship dock.  There is nothing that will 100% protect any place from a person having a contagious disease unless people are tested for every contagious disease daily.  There has to be a line drawn somewhere.

Oh, I thought we were discussing Covid 19.  Testing for it's contraction in the past 24 hrs is what I was addressing.  It would be useless on a ship that docks about every day and a majority of the passengers are exposed to entirely different people each time.  Would be like a person who was given that test last night in NYC, travels to and has lunch and a crowded tour of Nashville today then moving on for the same in Dallas in the morning.  There would be zero confidence in that test in Dallas and next to none in Nashville.  NYC test for Covid 19 was rendered moot by subsequent travel and stops.  Naturally, cruise lines are desperate.  I think I heard they are going to start back up in August.  I love cruising. However, it is a desperate decision and is likely to be an unavoidable disaster.  I am sure hoping not.  Have multiple weeks scheduled in Jan - Feb, but I think it would take a near miracle to avoid serious issues without a cure.

The military is developing a test that can detect the virus in people who contracted it within the last 24 hours.  So, if something like this could be available and easily administered at the time cruising begins, they might be able to test passengers before boarding.  A lot can happen in three months.

Problem is getting off on the islands, eating, drinking, cabs, tours, shopping...you name it then coming back aboard.  A cure or vaccine is a must for the cruise industry.  Not to mention getting there on airlines, hotel night before, transport to the pier...nothing short of C or V will work.  

Wife & I have been on 60+ cruises.  We love them!  If it is necessary to wear masks, there is simply no way we would even think about going.  Currently have four weeks of B2B scheduled in Jan - Feb.  If there is not a cure or vaccine in place by then, no way we will be sailing.  Hate to be a downer, but without a cure or vaccine there is no way to avoid contagion on a ship.  Another outbreak on a ship, any ship, and the bottom will fall out immediately for all lines.  Therefore, I feel certain a cure will be forthcoming very soon.  The industry cannot survive without it.     

Hello all,

I see folks are looking at sailings in Aug - Sept timeframe.  Just curious.  You folks think the virus will have run it's course by then, we'll have a cure in place or just think it's not that big of a deal?  Thanks in advance for responses!!

I got off the the Conquest December 14, 2019 and played corn hole the day before disembarking.  They are on Deck 14 by the entrance to the water slide.

Thank you, threeds!!  I really appreciate the info.

Anyone been on lately?

Thanks!

Anybody been on lately?

If you dont see them there be sure to check the bar on 5. Sometimes they are back there with the foosball table 

Thanks.  However, I think you may be confused.  I am asking about the Conquest.  Never kept at any of the 4 bars on 5, and no foosball table in any of them.Thanks anyway!

Hello Cruisers! 

Anyone been on Carnival Conquest lately?  Wanting to be sure they still have Corn Hole / Bean Bag toss boards available for passengers to use.  Last couple of times we've been aboard they were always up on deck 12, port side, by the ping pong table and large chess board set that sits on the deck, or the next deck up by the serenity area.  Would appreciate it if anyone could verify they observed them there, or wherever recently.  Thanks in advance!!  Here is a couple of pictures of them on deck.

Happy New Year and happy sailing!!

Thanks!!

Hello!

Never been on Fantasy.  Doesn't appear to have a sports bar like others carnival ships??  Ball games on in casino or other bars?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the replies!!

Hello!

Just booked a couple 5 days on Fantasy.  We are tournament players and want to practice / play while aboard.  All other Carnival

ships we've been on have boards readily available for passenger use.  Judging from pictures, that appears to be the case on the Fantasy.  Looks like boards are kept on the outdoor stage mid ship close to the pool.  Anyone been aboard recently that can verify if that is the case please?

Thanks in advance and happy cruising to all!!

We have used this perk twice now (mine and then my husbands). Each time we have booked the lowest category oceanview and been upgraded to a balcony. Which category balcony depends on sailing and ship. Congrats!

Thanks for answering!!  

Hello!

Question please.  Will become Diamond soon.  One of the perks offered is a one time cabin upgrade.  Is that upgrade, for example, from a porthole room to a balcony, or like from a lower deck to an upper deck?  Anyone done it or familiar with how it works /applied?

Thanks in advance and happy cruising!!

Don't remember which deck.

 

 

 

 

Thanks!!

Anyone?  Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Anyone been on Glory lately and know if they have Corn Hole boards on board?  If so, where they are?  Just got back from several weeks on Conquest and had a great time playing with them on deck 12 portside.

Thanks in advance and happy cruising!!

Thank you Shellindc!!

Does one have to be arrogant to play?

 

 

What I think is funny is that some new kids on the block took an old term, and

corrupted it as a name for their game.

 

 

Who ever did it was probably familiar with the original meaning, and laughs hysterically

every time it is used in this context.

 

 

If one is not easily offended, google the term in an urban dictionary...

Like I said, thousands of responses and clueless about the question?! Very weird.
