JMAE Posted November 20, 2015 #26 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Haven't like the last two redesigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted November 20, 2015 #27 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Add me to the dislike group! I much prefer the old layout, it was a lot easier to look for what I was wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theriac Posted November 20, 2015 #28 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Can someone post a screen shot or two of the new layout? I'm really interested in seeing why it's so bad. The complaining reminds me of Facebook 5-8 years ago when the design was constantly being changed and the news feed was filled with displeasure until the next update of how could they change how great the last platform was and so on and so on.

HectorAchilleus Posted November 20, 2015 #29 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I can not figure out how to print itineraries or other data. I guess when it comes to change, I am a conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival_Brides Posted November 20, 2015 #32 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It looks the same for me in Chrome on my MacBook. I wish they'd include a search option for specific ports. I enjoy that one aspect of RCI's page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired_to_Cruise Posted November 20, 2015 #33 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Go back to what was there. This new approach makes it almost impossible to look for cruises in an expedited manner. Way to many pictures and cutsie stuff that add nothing to the process of deciding what cruises you may be interested in. Tons more real estate that you have to scroll through to find answers. Just a real miss. Do not know who ordered this or approved it, but the need to be fired and the old stuff brought back. NOT, Not, NOT and improvement.

Schm00py Posted November 20, 2015 #35 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have had it for several days and you can add me to theHATE IT list! Tried to search for a cruise and it was a mess. I ended up going to another travel agent site just to look for a cruise. GEEZ! Ditto for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted November 20, 2015 #36 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It definitely looks more 'slick'. I don't like it at first blush but it may grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted November 20, 2015 #37 Share Posted November 20, 2015 With the old site, I used to browse possible future cruises just to get ideas, and possibilities. Since this new layout, I completely avoid going on their site. It's just too annoying to even look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomorris Posted November 20, 2015 #38 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It doesn't seem like a big deal or change to me..but then again I'm running Chrome on Vista Home Basic OS so I'm just happy to get ANYTHING useful and usable. Are you folks using "advanced search" on the CCL home page? I've always used that and it gives me what I want...but then again I'm retired and have time to fritter away doing research on our next cruise(s). Sometimes I start out by using the CC "Find a Cruise" option on the CC home page and use "Departure port", "Popular ports","Cruise Line" and "From Date...To Date" filters for openers and then go the actual cruise line website for more info. I guess there's always more than one way to cook a turkey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I just use a popular TA site that always advertises on TV and when I find something I like I then go to that cruise lines site to look into it more. There's better search options and filters doing it that way. Also it shows the options for every line opposed to just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_luv2go Posted November 20, 2015 #40 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This may be easy for the younger generation but at my age I like the KISS approach (keep it simple stupid). I have tried several times to search for a future cruise and have given up. May end up having to use one of the "other" sites for cruise info. I bet there has been a increase of calls at CCL.

pe4all Posted November 20, 2015 #41 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Kind of reminds me of your windows 8 desktop, which is fine for your "favorites" but not for a search. I noticed in the last couple weeks, this new layout has come up in the different browsers, probably while they were testing to get it up and running. Same here. Find it much more difficult to search and/or compare cruises. Looks colorful, but the old format was definitely easier and less time consuming to use.

ready2cruzagain Posted November 20, 2015 #42 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I cleared my browser and it went back to the old search way on the website. If that is what it takes, will continue to clear browser every time I go to Carnival. Hoping they toss this new layout. It reminds me of Pinterest. Seems like a lot of websites are trying the "Pinterest" look, which I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinglesmountjoy Posted November 20, 2015 #44 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm not real happy with new layout either. Not sure why Carnival felt the need to change some things on their home page. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it. At least, until Carnival hires someone else that wants to have a go at redesigning the web page. I'm guessing whoever is in charge of that department never heard the expression "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". :rolleyes: I agree. I found the old interface to be much easier to navigate.

MikeMA Posted November 20, 2015 #45 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Noticed this last week and after exploring for a bit decided the same as most of you Not a an!! Just not as user friendly and finding dates just isn't as simple. Somebody new must have gotten hired and tried to "Enhance" the site. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted November 20, 2015 #46 Share Posted November 20, 2015 My issue with it is trying to complete the onboard account and documentation with an iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHealing Posted November 20, 2015 #47 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I stopped going to Carnival's website on my laptop and desktop. I HATE their new website. Who ever came up with this website needs to find another job in Carnival. The way they had it before was probably the best ever. My iPad still has the old version. So, when I'm on my laptop or desk top I go to that online agency that also shows other cruise lines that leave from the port I'm considering. Good job Carnival, thanks for giving me a reason to look at other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish12345 Posted November 21, 2015 #48 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Their new website is too picture oriented. I'm looking to book a cruise not watch a picture show. Even with a high speed internet, it's just too much extra garbage to weed through. I now use one of the cruise websites to look at future cruises, the ones that show all the cruise lines.

Chief1369 Posted November 21, 2015 #49 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Not a fan. I didn't care for the last "upgrade" to their page, but this one takes it to a different level. If it ain't broke, fix it until it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARNIVALCRUISE3 Posted November 21, 2015 #50 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Carnival changed their website layout today from the easy to use calendar/list layout to a picture/blocks layout with limited filters on the top. I can't seem to find anything and had to call my PVP just to look for a simple date/month combination. Is it just me or is anyone else not able to search with accuracy? This is a very frustrating experience. I agree. I don't like the new layout. So difficult to find dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
