Pyxie Posted October 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I may have missed this since I tend to visit the boards intermittently when I have an upcoming cruise, but are paper Fun Times officially back across the board or is this new? On our Mardi Gras cruise last week we received one every night (as did everyone else on our floor since I could see them in mailboxes). This wasn't the case with any other cruise I've done since the restart, so I don't know if it is just a Mardi Gras thing or if it is coming back on all ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PayneAS Posted October 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I asked the room steward to make sure I got one and it was in my mailbox every day. So just ask when you board 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne G. Posted October 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I got one every evening (without asking) on 3 cruises on the Pride this past summer. I liked having it. They were distributed to all mailboxes. Edited October 18, 2023 by Joanne G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to pick them up from the coffee shop every morning. I didn't realize the cabin steward would bring one if asked. I will do that next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommyCrankyPants Posted October 19, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Did not receive any on our recent cruise on the Glory. I'll know now to ask the steward on our next one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad the Cruise Critic member posted about John Healds FB announcement back in February! Great find! 🌴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Honolulu Blue Posted October 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The inconsistency from ship to ship shown by Carnival on what should be a simple task with simple instructions disturbs me. 🤬 It doesn't much matter to me if I have to request one or tell my cabin steward to give me one or pick up one from around the ship. But please Carnival, pick a direction, and tell everyone to get on board with it. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're testing going back to a by request basis on some ships. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted October 19, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have to agree with pp. I have been on 4 cruises since February and have gotten them on some and not on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob NC Posted October 20, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Sept 30 Mardi Gras had paper Fun Times, but, we had to ask our steward to provide them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol louise Posted October 21, 2023 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We had one left daily on Venezia in June, without asking. I wonder if the inconsistency here and there is due to some staff shortages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is interesting because you were on the sailing right before mine and we got one every night by default. Maybe it varies by steward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mamiamjo Posted October 24, 2023 #21 Share Posted October 24, 2023 We received paper Fun Times, 3 of 4 days. When we asked for a paper copy for day 4 we were told to just check the app 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MisterOJ2 Posted October 24, 2023 #25 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I, for one, don't have a problem with them bringing the paper Fun Times back. But, I really do wish they would come up with a good system for just getting them to the people that want them. Back in the day, I really enjoyed getting them in my cabin each evening, but now with the Hub app - they're simply no longer necessary for me. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like this and printing and passing them out to every cabin on the ship just seems very wasteful to me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
