I think part of it is that people are reading " real" books less often..using tablets instead. we were just on the Panorama and the library was being used for the dumb art auction most of the time.

I have no experience with this but my thought is that if you are sensitive enough to worry about cross contamination, you would be better off eating on the ship.

I didn't notice the tables being that close together. Maybe because we usually ended up eating kind of late but honestly the dining room seems fairly empty every time.

Years ago before I had a passport I cruised using what I thought was my birth certificate ( It says "Birth Certificate" at the top. It was only when I applied for a passport did I realize it wasnt a real one, it was the one issued at the hospital ( the raised seal was just the name of the hospital) So..maybe we just got lucky that the person checking didn't look that carefully? But I used it for a few cruises..

oops it was actually the week after you, the 18th we were there. No fog that day!

and as of 4/12 the same 🙂 ...the walk seemed shorter than usual. Maybe because it wasnt stinking hot like it can be

We are on the ship with you! Getting into the garage was stressfulllll but all good .

we get the cruise the vineyards package every time. They give you vouchers to use..you can use the vouchers to pick up an unopened bottle of wine at any bar to take back to cabin, or you can give to dining room staff to get for you. We always just get the bottle , take back to cabin and either drink it there or take glasses of wine up to dinner

I agree...I don't mind picking things up but the photo place seems like not the best choice..I also feel like I am annoying them. Last time the person at pixel said we had to go to guest services for our gift, then guest services got annoyed at pixel guy for telling us this..all for a dang coozie thingy I have never used

And the city bus is even cheaper! Thats what we do...cuz we are cheap 🙂

Ok I really need to know if this is true...because It would be a dream to have adjoining cabins with hubby...my own bathroom..no snoring???

We always go to Lety's...it is a ways down the beach so keep walking till you see the sign. Great coconut shrimp! But also there are tons of other places that are probably good and most will have chairs etc to use. Not sure on cost of wave runners

Yes, my husband got one. I would post a pic but ...his butt was half exposed which I found fairly amusing since he was laying out there for all to witness. We were parked at one of the restaurants and she was was traveling down the beach like the other vendors . ( He did enjoy the massage)

Stone Island in Mazatlan has tons of beach restaurants where you can get chairs and umbrellas for free as long as you eat or drink there

I feel like Stone Island is a better beach for kids than ones I have seen in PV...maybe you can switch your "historical" day to PV

I have a big salad from buffet salad bar daily. I feel like there’s a great selection plus I like to make it myself so I can put on what and how much I want

Ok showing my age but I didn't even know John Denver sang that..even knowing John Denver sang it would show my age since I am sure my kids have no idea who that was. Peter Paul and Mary were the originals! ( ps..I am usually ready to get home, but will admit hearing that on the last night makes me tear up a bit)

Yep, us as well..sent a Carnival pic of us on our honeymoon 1985 and got credit 🙂

Shareholders@carnival.com not really a form but I just emailed them a copy of proof along with booking number etc

No, it was a discounted casino rate ( free drinks and discounted but not free)

Submitted today for our April cruise....casino rate but not "free"...this afternoon it was approved!

Update..I emailed our PVP just to see and his reply was "I verified all 3 reservations and at the time of making the reservation you both qualified for the same offer. I also documented each reservation with date and time stamp of when these offers were booked." So hopefully that will be enough! Also, our PVP is the best

One our last cruise we were denied and then ( at someones suggestion) we resubmitted and it was approved. Worth a try

I will email our PVP and see if he did that. However I have heard from others if you just show some sort of proof that you had that offer at the time ( like a screenshot) that they would honor it even if it hadn't officially been applied to the booking

yes I emailed back and asked this one question ..considering how long it took to get the initial reply I am not holding my breath.
