You must have never played sports.

 

What I find rude is is dragging a thread off topic by insulting a poster for no good reason.

When we originally booked the cruise, the port taxes were indeed $104. I've kept checking prices, and even though the fares have been going up, the taxes have dipped to $92. I inquired about it and Carnival said that they won't adjust the port taxes on a booked reservation, but that I can expect to receive OBC once on the ship for whatever the difference is.

TA oldies are the worst... "Oh, this must be the HAL group that's on board honey, look at those oldies, are they even alive?" ;)

Although there's a handful of people that may fall in the "idiot" category, it's not them who the focus is when it comes to emergency procedures. At least in my line of work, crew members are trained to pinpoint those passengers who will be able to assist them in case of a real emergency, long before it actually happens. And this is happening without no one else realizing it.

 

As mentioned before, there are too many variables involved in a real emergency. But the best that we can do is to have confidence in the common sense of the vast majority of passengers. Furthermore, that between the training and effort of the crew members, assisted by those passengers able and willing to go that extra mile, that the negative impact of those "idiot" passengers can be minimized as much as possible.

So far I've done the sky and the epic and I like the epic much more. To me the big ships are awesome, I'm getting ready to do the escape in November and I can't wait.

This video was posted on another site this morning. It's the Meyer-Werft Farewell Party on Escape:

I was thinking about going on the Breakaway, but after reading this I'm very hesitant. Thanks for the heads up!

So sorry for your loss.

I'm following

:eek: This will be our first cruise with Carnival, so to be honest I don't know what cutbacks are there, but I do know I have read enough to actually put me off the upcoming cruise for my 50th birthday :(

 

it seems there will be practically nothing to do in the afternoons if we do not go off ship and also there will only be pizza after 9:30pm :eek:

 

well its paid and we are going but bet your bottom dollar I will be back on CC with full review and what I think about the value for my money was ;)

 

Cheers :D Wullie

6 out of 10. But so much missed potential.

What do you mean bow, they should fall at my feet.

 

Passenger: Don't you know who I am

 

Crew: Sorry about the dementia, but a little hint when you forget who you are, it's written on your card.

I remember when my g/f husband died, she was making mortgage payments she had notified the bank of his death. I told her to look into weather the bank had life insurance built into the mortgage payments, She did and they did. The bank had to and did pay her back for payments she made after his death. Please friend look into this. Take care, Karen

You can use that 800 in OBC for christmas gifts for family.

I usually don't have a sweet tooth but I keep thinking about their warm chocolate volcano dessert. Don't know why.

 

Overall, based on one cruise on the NCL Jade, we thought that the MDR food was pretty good.

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad someone's enjoying it!

I'm far more certain they won't

A year ago this past spring, I think, on Princess the DR. from the Love Boat was on. He spoke to us one night. They actually filmed 6 weeks, in the summer, on the ship. I've forgotten which ship but it was the same ship each year.

What fun to be on that ship when they were filming the TV show!

 

We're off today, driving to port Canaveral. We are getting on the Sunshine, 8 days, tomorrow. When we get back to port, we'll walk over to the Freedom and get on her. (Yes, we are cruise-a-holics!) We'll leave in about an hour, 6:30. It's a 10 hour drive and le leave our car at the hotel for free, free shuttle to the port.

Will you tip the dishwashers and the laundry people with cash?

I have booked the comfort inn and suites...thanks for the help.....

I am really sorry you are going thru all this. Maybe things will get better after the will is read.

I'm sorry about your cruise. I know it has to be a big disappointment, but I admire the way you are handling things. Thanks for the awesome reporting. I would be honored to cruise with you some day--you are a class act IMHO.

Safe travels to all.

Kathy, have you heard from Sharon in the last few days? I hope she is ok.

Oh I am so sorry. Please try to take care.
