Says " very important for pool days" inside

The Spirit has moved on to tote bags as of this Tuesday 4/23.

If they do to the Legend what they did to the Pride then it won't be too major. Card room on deck 2 near the coffee joint was removed and became Carnival Adventures store. Night club was converted to only deck 2 with lower portion removed and converted into 5 new staterooms and a dedicated chefs table. I saw this on the Pride and they did a very good job with this. On deck 2 by the atrium a Dream studio room was created for private photo shoots. I think the rest was the typical stuff like carpeting, fixing things, etc. Hopefully they see fit to add the big screen by the pool near Guy's and Blue Iguana Cantina. One last thing, if you like the hot tub up front in the spa area, say your goodbyes!

Forget spending the night in New Orleans, just get a flight out on Friday the 25th.

Or go back after and do it again. I have never called to apply gift cards. Now if you are booking after final payment then yes you will need to call.

Much better than the many drink koozies I already have for sure. I have put this bag to good use.

I don't see any advantage to waiting. Carnival prices have been going only up that I have seen lately. Plus now you get a better selection of staterooms. If you book early saver rate and the price drops you can take advantage of that and Carnival will match the lower price.

Nineteen Eighty-four!

I had the same issue. I just waited until "regular" check in opened up and then added my flight info. This happened in January also so it is an ongoing glitch.

Not only is it unlikely to go on sale, a betting person would have their money on a price increase very soon. Carnival has been dipping into the well of price increases all the time now! They just hit bottled water and cheers cannot be far behind as evidenced by the individual drink prices of 14 dollars being fairly typical for a mixed drink with gratuity included.

I do buy entire cruises with gift cards every time so the answer is yes! Only caveat is you are married to the gift cards and if you have to cancel the cruise you are only getting back your refund as gift cards. You can only use so many cards per transaction but you can go back and add more if you max out . I am not sure how many cards can be applied in one transaction, but it's a few at least.

My guess is your second part about obvious drink in hand is the correct meaning of Carnival's announcement. Now, if they start scanning everyone's backpack before they get off then we can interpret it to mean no beverages at all 😉 . I am a per drink person so I wouldn't have any skin in the game either way. My main problem is just getting to HMC. I have had two cancelled cruises going there and last year we got close and then it was a no go due to weather.

All you cheers purchasers need to solve the "connectivity issue" is a big bubba full of your favorite mixed drinks before you head to HMC. One every five minutes will fill your bubba up fairly quickly before you go.

Gotten beaten over the head with some pom poms have you? 😉

That is exactly why I posted the question with two questions marks! I got off the Pride a week ago and the MDR food was among the most bland I have ever had on Carnival, and I am not a foodie nor picky. It is like all the pasta meals were devoid of flavoring. The Cajun pasta you would think would have some flavoring, but nope. I am bringing some spices and hot sauce for my upcoming 14 day Alaska cruise in a couple weeks. The servers were great, the food wasn't.

But in theory they are also making much more money under the guidelines of how gratuities are distributed, right?? Once a day is fine for me and some days I would just be happy with fresh towels.

Carnival has really been testing the water with price increases. 12 half liter water bottles for 14.95 plus 18 percent delivery fee. Remember how water was going to be fairly priced after they banned bringing your own? I have noticed a huge markup for balcony rooms over interiors so I have decided interiors aren't that bad at all. Choices are good !

I am zero for 3 in trying to go to HMC. Two cancelled cruises and in Feb of last year I got to see the outline of the island and then the stop was called off due to sea conditions.

Has the plan to add a dock at HMC been iced? I know COVID happened but have not read anything about the dock being under construction. It can't be entirely a money issue because they are spending a fortune for Celebration Key.

You can always go back a second time and add more later. They just limit the number per transaction and 9 is an upgrade from the previous limit of 5 at a time.

I would try on your account then. It will take it or not take it. You are paying for the cruise in US dollars so it should accept it imho.

I just did a mock booking on the Splendor out of Australia and the website was going to allow me to apply a gift card online

Did you try to apply them yourself on your carnival dot com account? The terms and conditions may give you a little wiggle room to pay for the cruise itself but definitely not for onboard expenses. Carnival reps have been known to be wrong once or a thousand times!

I got a few of those myself. I gave them to my daughters though. Better than a koozie!

Thanks. I hope they still have it this weekend. I actually find this particular gift to be useful and would like a back up to go with my 1000 drink koozies 🤣
