Currently have Halloween booked, a B2B next Aug/Sep and January of 2023 on the Celebration. Nice! We have the MG in June 2022 and the Celebration May 2023 to the ABC islands.

That is great. I was suppose to cruise with you on the MG for Thanksgiving but we changed it to June 2022. Now, hope we cruise with you on the Celebration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company is in a period of massive changes and so now we have a lot of situations where people are asking about specifics. Will this change too? Will that? Often the answer is, for the foreseeable future, that is not happening. We all know what it means. It could change at any time and we haven't decided if or when. However, I don't think the $15 price point is too much to lead to failure if the venues are good. I agree, I just personally would rather Carnival charge the $15-20 those this venues from the start as it doesn’t seem like this decision is set in stone and normally these places are a very reasonable price and many people will be willing to go, especially since RCL has said their specialty restaurants have been overwhelmed since the restart due to pent up demand. In my mind this is long term going to cause confusion as if I booked in a year, all the vlogs, etc made in the next month, will be saying the restaurants are “free” when in reality Carnival themselves don’t have this decision fully committed to.

I, for one, am thrilled that they're opening up so many (pay) places as free initially - for purely selfish reasons: This means that it's likely that both Rudi's and the Steakhouse will not be busy!!

I agree. I had already budgeted for the specialties and frankly I will be a little annoyed if I can't get in because they are overrun due to being free. But c'est la vie, and it's really only a little annoyance. As always there will be far too much great food at the usual joints anyway to even fit them all in. I am happy with the walk up options for all 3 meals, if it works out that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdr69 Posted July 29, 2021 #82 Share Posted July 29, 2021 OMG some of the items available in the Shops for a limited time make me so jealous since i wont be sailing on her till they are all gone likely. The limited edition Mardi Gras Invictus watch only 24 available, The Inaugural Coin set with both the original and new coins are both items i would jump on right away if i was on board. Hopefully The Hull Jewelry collection will be around for a while. What a clever idea making jewelry out of Steel from the construction of the Mardi Gras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue ribbon chicken, smoked andouille sausage, and the collard greens with smoked turkey are very good IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that they'd keep some on hand for shipboard sales. If that's enough to last a couple days, or a couple of sailings - there's no telling.

Is decaf an option (other than at the main place.. if anyone knows)? Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
