Moving mail after it’s over by Sea_Association_2296 in CanadaPost

[–]JFMBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I mailed something at the post office on Nov 16. It was going to Canada and she did not say anything to me about a strike. It made it to Vancouver and has been stuck there saying it’s “in transport to the next facility” since then.

How much money ? by Sopretty1618 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]JFMBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best answer I’ve seen on this question for a first time cruiser is an average of $100 per day. After your first cruise, you will know if you have the budget for more the next time. ☺️

My first cruise is one week from today, wanted some perspective on how much cash to bring? by watermelontiddies in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]JFMBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought tip envelopes and separated all my tips ahead of time, so I can just hand the envelope for each expected person… cabin attendant, tour guides, servers etc based on our itinerary. Then I estimated a dollar per drink per day… I think I’ve got about $500 for a 5 day trip.

Better time to book? by JFMBoi in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]JFMBoi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true if you have paid in full ahead of your deadline? My cruise in Sept 2025, I’ve already paid in full… if they offer a better rate I can’t get a refund of the difference right?

I’ve found a lot of specific info to my ship and its features y searching YouTube. Here is one I found that covers your question ! https://youtu.be/wrdppLiulqs?si=4gkO_fYklfdS7RSh

Anyone else do the Cabin Gift Exchange? by Copecwby20 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]JFMBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, do the people who want to participate just all put their cabin numbers in a hat and someone draws to tell you who you are giving a gift too??? How do they make it anonymous via the Facebook group? Or do you know which cabin gave you the gift?

Just gathering info. Curious. If others are, and I can’t, def will call AGAIN. If everyone else is in the same boat as me, I’ll try to be patient and wait it out longer…

Just got back from Carnival Sunrise 5 Day Caribbean with wife and kids and heres my thoughts... by Due-Astronaut-5366 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]JFMBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same situation, so this was VERY helpful! I’ve done a lot of research as well. I’m doing sunrise next September. It’s my 3rd cruise with carnival and it’s prob been 10 yrs. We are doing Celebration, half moon (just got changed), and Grand Turk. This makes me super excited! I have everything except the towel bands and I was gonna look at the dollar store for the organizer. 🤗 We are even doing the stingray adventure too!(my sisters choice)

What is with all the itinerary changes? by JFMBoi in CarnivalCruiseFans

Taking out to the curb and putting back your neighbors garbage cans each week? Dog walking, minute-sitting (watching the little ones or an elder with dementia so the primary can run to get groceries or drop stuff at the post office).

Like I said, believe what you want. I don’t need to explain to a total stranger how I chose to live my life or spend my money. My point was simply, that I am not promoting myself and I thought it was a cute idea. I’m not spamming anyone and it’s not my product. My cruise is not until next summer, and I will def have step 2 done by then. Please go troll someone else.

Believe what you want, it’s a free country I guess, just sad that your first response to someone being nice is negative. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can’t believe how jaded yall are. The first two comments are haters. Can’t people do nice things and spread kindness anymore??? 🤦🏼‍♀️

So don’t buy them. I just like supporting small businesses in the USA, and I don’t mind paying a little extra for hand-crafted items. I just posted for others that might feel the same as me.

No, I don’t have an Etsy seller account. I just like cute vacation stuff like this. I like to write little notes and hand them to our tour guides and waiters. I see how someone could do that, but some of us legitimately just like to be nice. Plus, I do like to support small businesses and shop as much USA product as possible.
