karmgonnagetcha Posted November 20, 2014 #26 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Changes do not equal cutbacks. If Carnival took something away, it was replaced with something new, fresh and innovative. I love the Fun Ships!! They never let me down. :D Thank you.

sandij Posted November 21, 2014 #27 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I miss most of the things listed, especially the live music. I loved watching the band rise from the orchestra pit and play. I almost forgot about the crumb scrapers, that was cool. I guess they see it as progress but the younger cruisers don't know what they're missing. It's become a gulp down as much as you can eat and get drunk kind of event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireofficer5 Posted November 21, 2014 #30 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I miss the call to the dining room, the MD would play the bells over the PA. :p There was no buffet, so you ate in the MD or went hungry. That's why there was a midnight buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy cruzin Posted November 22, 2014 #32 Share Posted November 22, 2014 As silly as it sounds in this electronic age, I miss getting my docs in the mail. That was better than Christmas morning! :D That's a good one! It was a very special day - when the docs and luggage tags arrived. 😀 Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbatt8 Posted November 22, 2014 #33 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't miss much. Sure, the ice sculptures and midnight buffet were really cool, but it was also a huge waste of time and money. I liked the island music for about 15 minutes, then it got old to me. I really do prefer some upbeat contemporary tunes. I have never - ever - needed more laundry done than is allotted for the current Platinum benefits. I'm not a "big band" kinda guy, tho I do like the Pilipino bands that can still be found on many ships. They are fun to dance to. I don't think I ever entered a slot tournament, so I don't miss that one. I'm fine with the service I receive in the MDR (almost always good). FCCs, Pre-printed luggage tags, and the farewell party. I do miss those 3. Now I have to book my future cruises ON a cruise (a pain, but I still make it work), print out my own tags (more hassle but I still make it work), and do my free drinking at the VIFP party. Taking all this into consideration, it would seem that I am Carnival's target demographic. Happy to oblige Carnival, happy to oblige. :D Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
