donaldsc Posted April 7, 2011 #26 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Golfadj, you shouldn't have told her that, she actually asked him!:confused: And they are nurses. Please tell me what hospital they work for so that I can make every effort to avoid it. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahleebones Posted April 7, 2011 #27 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I called Carnival to ask if I could PAY for VIP status. I booked an aft wrap and would prefer that to a suite but, unfortunately, you cannot pay extra for it. You HAVE to be booked in a suite, or of course, have 10 CCL cruises under your belt.

seattlejoe Posted April 8, 2011 #30 Share Posted April 8, 2011 http://johnhealdsblog.com/2011/04/07/the-i-want-to-be-italian-blog/ In the questions... I think that just made my day. I didn't think it was possible to make John hate cc anymore then he probably already does :) But to be fair to the OP, they obviously saw this is some youtube video (very reliable source) and they believed it. Not there fault. But its just really funny they actually asked John.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted April 8, 2011 #31 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Who in the world could have possibly taken me seriously about that. Really getting tired of trying to be funny (say please dont) and than somebody actually asks John. Maybe next time I should raise my hand and say this is a joke.

geezersgirl Posted April 8, 2011 #33 Share Posted April 8, 2011 so long as were cruising dont really care! though weve paid 2 grand for this vacation so far... it is going to be so nice to be out of the hospital for 10 days.. i love my patients dearly but oh gosh i need a vacation! As a cancer patient I can tell you that my nurses were some of the hardest working and compassionate people I have ever met. Thank you for being a nurse and I am sorry if some on here have made you feel foolish. I believe that there are no dumb questions. It would serve some to remember that they too were new to cruising at one time and had many questions. I hope you have a fantastic cruise. Be sure to come back and give us a review.

realtyexecdeb Posted April 8, 2011 #35 Share Posted April 8, 2011 so i was watching youtube cruise secrets and tips. and it says that if you mention to the cruise agent that you are from a review board or something that they will upgrade you or make you VIP. is this true? and if so will it work for cruise critic? You're already VIP cause you've booked!! Please give us a review!! Happy Cruzin':D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRRR A 22 year old who takes youtube as gospel? That was seriously funny though. I have a very dry sense of humor and it drives my husband nuts. He always complains, "I can't ell when you are joking or serious." My reply is, "That's what makes it funny!!!!" He doesn't get it at all, but I crack myself up. You even told her not to do that in the same post. Hysterical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrandparents Posted April 8, 2011 #38 Share Posted April 8, 2011 We did it the easy way................ ..........booked a suite for our upcoming cruise. Have to admit it does look kinda cool with the VIP logo on the booking summary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankandteri Posted April 8, 2011 #41 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I couldn't help notice that after John turned them down (nicely) he said he'd be sending our VIP wannabees a little something, something to their cabin, so they'll at least get a fruit basket or dipped strawberries for following golf's faux advice. This thread got me thinking. Carnival is missing out on a potential source of revenue. Would any of you be willing to pay a surcharge for VIP boarding/debark if you didn't otherwise qualify? I wouldn't, but I'll bet some people would. Southwest Airlines offers priority boarding on its flights for a small fee. I'm thinking something along those lines.

kujobie Posted April 8, 2011 #43 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Can't blame her for trying, and it looks like she's gonna get a free gift out of it, even if it's not a VIP experience. Way to go OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted April 8, 2011 #44 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Oh, and if you nurses need someone to hang with, I've got this soreness in my shoulders..

VIPERTRUCK Posted April 8, 2011 #47 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This does work for NCL. Last January I set up the meet & greet for our group with the ships event coordinator. When we went to check in for our cruise the guy said Ohhh I need to escort you to get your cards. We were made VIP for the week, eating breakfast in the Steakhouse, priority tendors, private bridge tour by the captain. We had a great time, even though with felt a little out of place with the other VIP guests at time because we brought mostly causal clothes. Disappointing to hear Carnival does not do the same. This will be our first cruise with Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
