Cruisin 4 Ever Posted January 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) At first I thought it was junk mail since the subject line says "New concepts in Dinning" Hard to believe they would send out a mass email with an obvious spelling error. Anyway this is the letter. I hadn't heard of others getting it so I thought I would share.

Cruisin 4 Ever Posted January 6, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I've tried everything but I cannot upload the letter to this site. Anyway, it just explained the new concept in dining and was welcoming us as amongst the first to try the new concept as we will be sailing on the Liberty January 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how too many people spell "Dining" on this board.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinboro cruiser Posted January 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Checked my email since we are sailing the 18th and 25th on the Liberty. Found it in junk mail. Moved it over to the inbox and it deleted the content of the email. You are right the spelling was strange.

Elaine515 Posted January 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2014 this is the email that was received... INTRODUCING NEW DINING EXPERIENCES January 4, 2014 Hi there! We know you must be looking forward to your cruise aboard the beautiful Carnival Liberty. So, we'd like to provide you some exciting news about two new dining concepts we'll be piloting in the next couple of months designed to create a contemporary and memorable dining experience. Lucky for you, you'll be one of the first to experience American Table and American Feast in the main dining room when you travel with us. Designed with an emphasis on exceptional American cuisine, American Table will feature familiar regional, fresh and contemporary dishes, with a wide array of appetizer, entree and dessert selections which will change each evening. But don't you worry, we'll be keeping many of the Carnival favorites, which you know and love. Let's just say there's still some Warm Chocolate Melting Cake in your future. Additionally, American Table will feature new menu designs to complement the experience. On the two Cruise Elegant evenings, you'll be treated to our American Feast, a dining experience designed to create the feeling of an elaborate celebration. Our American Feast menu will feature tantalizing appetizers, a delicious selection of succulently prepared meats, seafod and vegetarian choices, topped off with one of our spectacular desserts. We don't want to spoil all of the surprises by giving away all the details, but suffice it to say we know you'll be delighted! As we introduce these new concepts, we have sought to create a delicious, welcoming, and highly satisfying main dining room expereince. So, in addition to our customary post cruise survey, we'll be sending a separate survey for feedback solely on our new dining concepts. We look forward to hearing from you as it will help us to ensure we are hitting the mark before the concepts are more broadly rolled out throughtout 2014. We're very excited to have you be among the first to experience American Table and American Feast. More importantly, we're looking forward to welcoming you on board! See you soon! Sincerely, Cyrus Marfatia Vice President - Culinary & Dining . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinboro cruiser Posted January 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks Elaine515. Was wondering what they sent me. Less than two weeks and an hour plus ride on the turnpike. Can't wait!!! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty X Posted January 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2014 At first I thought it was junk mail since the subject line says "New concepts in Dinning" Hard to believe they would send out a mass email with an obvious spelling error.Not really, considering one of their latest videos on YouTube (I think it's the Christmas one) misspells the word "visiting" as "visting"!

sanmarcosman Posted January 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2014 "Betcha" Cyrus missed this, too: "As we introduce these new concepts, we have sought to create a delicious, welcoming, and highly satisfying main dining room expereince."

JustCruiseMe Posted January 6, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 6, 2014 OK misspellings aside gotta give it to Carnival for trying to get customer feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwardcabin Posted January 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Grammer misuse and spelling errors in communications are almost acceptable now. High schools and colleges are no longer requiring mastery in these subjects. As these graduates move into the workforce, their misuse of grammer and misspellings are reflected in their written communications. After all, word processors and iPhones are supposed to correct those things automatically, so why bother learning details like "i before e" or "ning" vs "nning," right? They will tell you, "Why learn to use an encyclopedia or a dictionary--If I want to know something, I will just Google it." Their idea is that as long as the reader can glean out of the writing the message the writer intended, then all is OK--spell check or no spell check. Go configure!

Rockstarmami Posted January 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Add seafood to the list of misspellings on the letter, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibcnusoon Posted January 6, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Add "throughtout" to the list of misspelled words. Really Carnival?? In this day and age, haven't you heard of spellcheck? That's 4 misspelled words! Edited January 6, 2014 by ibcnusoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine515 Posted January 6, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 6, 2014 WAIT WAIT WAIT... before its all over the internet... I hand typed the letter as Carnival blocked me from copying and pasting. But when I get home tonight I will check the letter to see if maybe they did misspell other words!!! SORRY SORRY SORRY :) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amersnerd Posted January 8, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Okay, enough about the letter grammar & spelling errors, has anyone experienced the new American dining program yet? I am sailing in 5 days, cannot find any reviews from actual participants in the new program. I've heard on some boards that it will be family style dining (e.g. one bowl of an item for all to share) but cannot tell if that is from speculation or otherwise. I also read that elegant nights are served similar to a bunch of appetizers then everyone gets the same dessert. Lets talk about the food, although the grammar **** in me also enjoyed that so many people caught the obvious misgivings of the announcement. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
