I love cruising with carnival but.....

I love carnival but... their booking engine sucks... put in all your info, then it resets itself. It has become a real pain. Wish they would go back to the more user friendly booking engine... it is sad when you have to go to a different website to view the cruises...

I love carnival but... wish they would throw away the big screens on the Lido deck. I love CCL but wish they would go back to a cruise being just that, a trip on the ocean, not a visit the the movie theatre like we have at home...

I love carnival AND I wish they would bring back the rum swizzle parties... on boarding day...

[quote name='Luv2Travelnow']Well, if only Carnival would cruise out of Montana, AND Arizona, our problem would be solved!!! :D[/QUOTE]

Well, there you go - some nice river and lake cruises :D but i REALLY LOVE the caribbean - especially on days like today where we got about 8 inches of really wet, heavy snow :cool:

But, I wish Carnival would:

1. lower the beer prices
2. have more outside activities at night
3. Change the group department to the way it used to be...flex deposits, personal service.
4. offer a 5 day cruise with only 1 port.
5. offer better casino perks

Control the smoking a bit :), hate smelling like a cigarette when i get back in to my room.

This is in response to a question on something that I said:

It is a requirement of the Passenger Services Act. The Passenger Services Act is a piece of United States legislation which came into force in 1886 relating to cabotage. Essentially, it says:

No foreign vessels shall transport passengers between ports or places in the United States, either directly or by way of a foreign port, under a penalty of $300 for each passenger so transported and landed.

Any vessel subject to the Jones Act counts as a US vessel. Under the Passenger Services Act of 1886, 46 App. U.S.C. § 289, foreign-flagged vessels cannot transport passengers directly between U.S. ports.


If you see a flag that looks like this:
Four squares, top left white with a blue star, bottom left is fully blue, top right is fully red and bottom right a red star
Then it is a Panamanian flagged vessel... (Aka foreign - the cruise ships that I have been on have generally had the flag of Panama on them.)

So any ship that starts in South Carolina (as an example) & stops in New York (as another example) also must travel to Canada or Bermuda as two logical examples...

:o I chose that face becasue I liked it... Not that it had much meaning beyond that... (I only just read "embarrassed" as I typed this post.)

I am not embarrassed to be going to Berumda on the Pride in November.

[quote name='Cruzaholic41']I love Carnival, but I wish they would build something new and innovative. Too much sameness across the ship classes.[/quote]

I agree I wish they would change the ships up make each one different and special that way everyone wants to cruise the ships to see what that one has to offer.

[quote name='CorvetteLady']Princess has some nice 10 day cruises. I am thinking about doing one, maybe next year. I did NCL and the food is the main reason I would not sail them again.
[/quote]

Same with me I have done 2 NCL and the food has been bad on both. I do not understand why. I ship was nice. The places we went where nice but the food sucked and it is also why I will never cruise them again unless I have no other option.
