    Muster drill

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    The reason they take so long is because of all the people who won't attend when called. They are now scanning sail and sign cards so they know exactly who showed up and who didn't.

    On our cruise on December 3rd a woman passed out from the heat because of how crammed in everyone is with no airflow while waiting for a few idiots to trickle in giggling like they are children getting away with something.

    Carnival should start the drill at the specified time and released as soon as it's over. Then those who didn't attend should be paged to attend the muster station so that they are still in compliance with the laws around the requirement.

     

    This is what they did on the Valor last month. We stood for about 30 mins, at the end of the muster drill they paged actual names of people to go to guest services to get the muster info.

    Vista Staggered Check In Time Selection Now Appears Open For 2017

    I would imagine you would still get your suite priority boarding.

     

    Yes , Anyone in a Suite , FTTF or Diamond or Platinum must still pick a time , but can show up anytime they want

     

    Thank you for the info. This seems to be a strange way Carnival has decided to do things. Why make me pick a spot when I don't require one. Now I am taking a spot from the time slot I have chosen, that someone else may need to use, when I can go whenever.

    2406 Family Harbor Balcony

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    None of the FH Coves sleep 5 (like 2406), only the FH Suites & Deluxe OVs do. I think I've only seen 2 different Suite configurations for 4...one with half the couch made into a bed w/ the pullman above it, and one with both parts of the couch made into a double bed w/ no pullman. It should be possible to do both at the same time to get the 5th person in

     

     

    We are booked in a Family Harbour Suite. I'm guessing the couch turns into a double with the pullman from the roof. I just haven't seen any pics with the suites set-up for bedtime.

     

    Thanks

    NCL Escape Miami Disembarkation Time

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Try the post-cruise ShoreEx airboat ride and gator farm. They will drop you and your luggage off at the airport after the ride.

     

    I have done this excursion a few years ago through Carnival. It was a good trip.

     

    How do they do the colour tags for disembarkation? Is it just random when you time will be or can you request a time? We will be in no rush to leave the ship.

    Corporate phone number for OBC complaints

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted · Edited by Blazen

    Why do people buy OBC months in advance? There is no advantage to this. The exchange rate is set when you book your cruise.

     

    Yes I am Canadian and was planning to take advantage of this loophole if it was still available when I got on board, but it is not so I won't cry about it, I knew it was coming. This is only a big deal now because our dollar has dropped a lot over the past year with the falling oil price. That makes my drive to Florida cheaper.

     

    I am sure if this deal was available to everybody, everybody would take advantage of it.
