A Scottish Man in PA Posted June 23, 2007 #76 Share Posted June 23, 2007 For those of you asking for longer cruises, there is a petition you might want to sign. It's a petition to Carnival to bring a ship to NYC in 2009 for a 12 night holiday cruise. Here's the link to the petition:http://www.petitiononline.com/12232009/petition.html And here's a link to the thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=577481 Also keep your eyes peeled, another petition specifically for longer cruises in general from Carnival is in the works! Just signed it. Now back to the original question - the ULTIMATE CARNIVAL SHIP would have: - Dressing code ENFORCED - Better sofa beds - Some cabins with true king beds - Better food all the way around from quality to quanity - Better ports of call - A better frequent cruiser program, with the number of DAYS and CATEGORY sailed opposed to the number of cruises. Get rid of: - Bedtime Story, it gets old fast - Hairy Chest/Legs Contest...does this REALLY appeal to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyBird Posted June 23, 2007 #77 Share Posted June 23, 2007 If I could design a ship it would be totally handicapped friendly. The pools would have stairs and lifts, no ladders. All of the doors would be wider for wheelchairs and scooters. All of the bathrooms and showers would have grab bars. If you don't need them, you have extra space to hang things. There would still be dedicated wheelchair only cabins with the roll in showers and added turning space needed. Just these small changes to all of the cabins would help to make crusing easier for those with mobility problems. So many of the ships have such a small number of handicapped cabins that many people with mobility issues can not cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanFranBayCruiser Posted June 23, 2007 #78 Share Posted June 23, 2007 My suggestion, move the dining room to the back of the ship and put in huge windows without drapes to allow a view of the ship's wake as you dine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacm Posted June 23, 2007 #79 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Al Fresco Dining sounds wonderful and NO SMOKING anywhere on the ship would make it perfect.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted June 23, 2007 #80 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Just signed the petition also. Would love to have ships year round from NYC since we are right here. And Carnival has to get on the ball about those shower curtains. And speaking of the fridges, might be nice if they were actually COLD! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzvickie Posted June 23, 2007 #81 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'd love to see an underwater observatory, kinda like a glass bottom boat, only a wall, looking out. Never know what we might see!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinnluvinit Posted June 23, 2007 #84 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I was told the inside (cheap) cabins don't have a refrigerator. Guess where my room is? You guess right. LOL. I am bringing a soft side cooler. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17andacruiseaddict Posted June 23, 2007 #85 Share Posted June 23, 2007 that's it lol look, just being on that ship is a fantasy!!!!!!! I have been on 9 cruises. Now everytime I get on the ship, it seems like a NEW WORLD!!!!!!!!! I don't have to get off the ship. Just being on a ship is magnificent!!!!!!!!! Can you smell it? The time you walk on, it's a different feeling. We have reserved cruises for August, 2007, December, 2007 and August, 2008 already. Is there another way to travel? I have met so many people that I know who have never cruised. Why?????? I tried cruising in the early 80's. But didn't do it. This is the bomb!!!!! This is Robyn's mom. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Karen Posted June 24, 2007 #87 Share Posted June 24, 2007 17andacruiseaddict: LOVED your post! I have been on a lot more cruises than you, but I still get "that feeling" too. When we board the ship it is like, well, here we are again. Give me 5 minutes and the "magic" kicks in. I have been on a lot of ships more than once, but each and every time, I find something else that absolutely thrills me. I can't be bothered with the itineraries too much either. Just get me on the SHIP and let me float around for a week and I am :D ! (even with the shower curtains and warm refrigerators lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am addicted already. I wish my family had been able to go when I was younger. I would have many more under my belt. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
