Ontario_Cruiser Posted September 5, 2013 #301 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Please..please let it be death to the early saver !! Why? Early Saver is a good option for many. If it is not your choice, that is fine but why deny it to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted September 5, 2013 #302 Share Posted September 5, 2013 And that is what is the problem today We all use to be happy just doing a cruise now alot of cruisers don't know how to relax and that is what a cruise is to me A way to relax and not go to work. I don't need to be doing anything and still enjoy it yes and No. My last CCL cruise to Hawaii was very enjoyable because we do know how to relax. We don't really do anythign special during the day on any ship of any line, except enjoy the sunshine (if it's available ;) ) However, even when doing NOTHING, one cruise can be better than another.

PittsburghGirlee Posted September 5, 2013 #303 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe it will be about a new SMOKING policy:eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiagolfer Posted September 5, 2013 #305 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe it will be about a new SMOKING policy:eek:. If CCL announces a no smoking policy on balcony's just like RCI did yesterday, then DW and I have probably completed our last cruise.:( Platinum on both lines. Had fun while it lasted.

pcmom10 Posted September 5, 2013 #310 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm guessing the return to Europe in 2015. Why? I follow John Heald on Facebook and at least 2 maybe 3 times this week, during his posts about Norway, he has written "Please Mr and Mrs Beards can we return in 2015" or something to that effect. So, maybe hints about what is coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyBeef Posted September 5, 2013 #314 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Think you nailed it. Get the award of the day. And that is the props for the welcome aboard show which need desperately to go away and be replaced with something fresh. You mean I win the giant, old, inflatable cruiseship bow and stern?!!:eek: I feel like jumping around and screaming hysterically like a Price is Right winner! I feel like kissing Bob Barker! Yay, me!!!!:D:cool::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!SAM!! Posted September 5, 2013 #315 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Please..please let it be death to the early saver !! If you don't like early saver don't use it. But there are a lot of people that like it. It has saved a lot of us a lot of money. I hope you are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPKEMO Posted September 5, 2013 #319 Share Posted September 5, 2013 To new cruisers it is not old, it is fresh. Probably easier and more profitable to replace the old cruisers? Very true! Carnival IMO is a starter cruise. Go on a few Carnivals then you move to a more expensive brand. I stick with Carnival because I'm fairly young, 31, and still like party a bit. I will be on my 12th Carnival cruise and 14th overall in less then a month. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what some refer to as cutbacks are really reallocation of resources to stay aligned with the target market. As the market evolves, so does Carnival. Change is the only constant. Many who used to be in the target market, are no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted September 5, 2013 #323 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sounds like a cutback to me. Alienating their loyal customer base. Some people dont believe that Carnival could ever do a cutback but instead has a list of 14,327 excuses why it makes for a better cruise. At some point we will get excuse by the number to save keystrokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted September 5, 2013 #324 Share Posted September 5, 2013 . And what some refer to as cutbacks are really reallocation of resources to stay aligned with the target market.. ....that just happen to cost CCL less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted September 5, 2013 #325 Share Posted September 5, 2013 ....that just happen to cost CCL less. Funny thing that. Would think those balloons would have worn out by now. Even JH thinks they should freshen up the welcome aboard show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
