StringerBell Posted September 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have not been on a Carnival Cruise in about a year. We are doing a S. Carribean cruise out of San Juan next month. I know the past guest party has changed a little (we have 30 days at sea so I don't think it will effect us) but I was wondering, is there still a Fun Farewell Party? We had always enjoyed those.

Nope those are gone.......Carnival said it was because of poor participation, be we all know the poor participation was because it was so poorly advertised. We will miss them too.......:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted September 17, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I started to type that you're Gold level in VIPF and will be invited to the Past Guest party (now I'm just perpetually confused). You will definitely get a FREE drink coupon to be used in the MDR at breakfast or lunch (its 5:00 somewhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason might be $$$$$.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmimom Posted September 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Now CCL says poor participation. However, DW and I felt more attended the Farewell Party than the Past Guest Party. The real reason might be $$$$$.:( Past guest parties were HUGE (prior to the change that didn't include 2nd time cruisers up to "gold"). They were packed into the show lounge and hard to get a drink. The farewell party was in a bar/small lounge and had drinks galore with way fewer people (1000 versus 100). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
