InTheWASide Posted June 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Reviving a dead (well, deleted... twice) horse as the Carnival Board is apparently allowed to have it which makes no sense if the thread has been deleted twice with no reason. I also emailed the hosts asking if they could advise what the problem was to no reply... So here's a link to the Carnival forum thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2217721 And as the announcement is coming later today I would presume we are allowed to talk about it.

cruz chic Posted June 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Interesting posts on that thread. I was thinking maybe they would start giving cruises away for people that have a certain $ charged to their onboard account. Sounds like something totally different.

I was thinking maybe they would start giving cruises away for people that have a certain $ charged to their onboard account. Sounds like something totally different. It does... wondering about the accuracy of that one post. HAL already had something similar and some of the upper premium brands have done similar before. So it may be new on the SCOPE of things but not in the concept... Here's what HAL has offered for a few years now: Cruise With Purpose Collection For every global citizen who has ever dreamed of either giving back or paying it forward, the innovative Cruise with Purpose Collection is quite simply about improving our planet one voyage at a time. Assist in scientific research, bring much-needed supplies to an orphanage, participate in a fair trade program or cultural exchange, replant native forest or restore fragile habitat-your footprint will be light and your soul enriched.

Oceanwench Posted June 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2015 A lot of interersting speculation on that board. Some of it humorous, some erroneous, some close to being accurate. Everyone should know at about 2 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanwench Posted June 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Tough crowd over there. Not that it isn't much the same here. :eek: People are thinking it's cruise line-specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Carnival CRUISE LINE has a habit lately of making announcements like "On Thursday we'll release more scheduling"... then there's a week or two of silence and nothing happens. Sure, they can reserve the right to change things, delay, etc but they get people all worked up and then go silent and it's happened several times... I get the little snippy remarks but still... ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted June 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I think they will be disappointed when it isn't all about Carnival Cruise Line. If it were - don't think it would have gotten this big of a build-up. I would guess we will see the whole release here on CC - as the editors must have gotten the information already.

Oceanwench Posted June 4, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Huge, yes, but I think they will still be disappointed. Just looking at their comments, I can tell their expectations will not be met. Most are not looking at the big picture, and it is a big picture announcement. Not an individual cruise line announcement, in that it is not specific to Carnival, HAL, Princess, etc. Some will view this as a major announcement, but others will say it won't affect them, so they don't really care.

Oceanwench Posted June 4, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Embargoed until 2 p.m. - but apparently the link was just posted so you can hear the announcement. I wasn't aware that was going to be made public. The conference was scheduled to start at 1:45, according to the invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
