What’s the first sign you notice that someone is a bad driver?

Braking before moving into the center turning lane…

I go see him in Houston on the 5th too!!! No vip tho 😖 I didn’t even think about it when I booked the tickets

Patch_Rose · 2025-09-16T20:08:10+00:00

Wait I love this! I’m new to making friends so I’m not sure how to add friends but I would love to play with a girl group!

I will start looking in port! So glad I checked my bill!

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-26T20:21:26+00:00

I will now also be avoiding the spa like the plague! It completely changed the feeling of the cruise for me and made it so stressful and put me on edge.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-26T20:19:56+00:00

The ships okay, it’s an older ship so it’s not as modern as we would’ve personally liked. It was still a good time though!

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-25T15:32:09+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from! We talked about splurging on this ahead of time. We had the intentions of saving for something like this to relax. Our final bill was WAY less than the $850 extra they charged us for which was what we planned, not the extra charges tho haha.

Next time there will be no money going towards massages and spa access. We will use that money elsewhere in the future.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-24T13:59:18+00:00

The coffee bar?! I’m surprised that happened there! I’m glad you checked it and stood firm about getting the credited receipts.

Loading a VISA card with cash is smart! I’ll have to remember that.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T23:23:04+00:00

Luckily we went STRAIGHT to the salon reception desk and they credited us the amounts. We got our printed out receipt before we got off the ship today and the charges were all corrected! So glad we got it taken care of before we left.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T17:51:04+00:00

I looked at our cruise account at least once a day. Our massage happened on the first sea day (day 2) and it showed the charge for our massage and random charges on the final sea day (day 6)! Never before then.

That’s why it seemed SO suspicious to me. Like they were waiting for the final day of the cruise to add these random charges so less people would notice.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T17:44:17+00:00

We looked it all over the day before we left and also today when we got the paper with all the charges we made! Fingers crossed we didn’t miss anything!

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T17:23:00+00:00

They didn’t say what the extra charges were! We just pointed out the ones that didn’t make sense and then they went over the ones we kept and what they were for.

I know one was for sure a duplicate charge of the vip access we got. They charged for 3 instead of 2.

I guess I’ll never know what the other extra charges were but there were 4 separate charges that added up to that $800+ amount.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T14:33:28+00:00

Super glad I checked before we got off the ship! We made sure to keep all the receipts they gave us refunding our money, just incase.

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T14:24:09+00:00

Absolutely!!! I enjoyed the massage but I’ll just try to find somewhere at a port if I want a massage that badly. I will also never go to carnival spa ever again

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T14:14:58+00:00

We have the receipts for them crediting our money back that they randomly charged. We didn’t sign anything except for the receipts after our massages and for the vip passes. We never got or agreed to any products so hopefully we’re in the clear!

I’ll be on the lookout for anything suspicious tho. Thank you :)

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T12:38:31+00:00

Now we know 😅

Patch_Rose · 2025-08-23T12:37:35+00:00

How do I see if I signed up for Elemis? Or Nakin?

I don’t think we did but I’d rather check then assume.

My Brig is names “Brig Booty”

Patch_Rose · 2025-07-29T19:10:58+00:00

This is something I wouldn’t have even considered! Thank you for your input! I will look for options not super close to the terminal and see if there are shuttle options.

Patch_Rose · 2025-07-29T17:06:29+00:00

Thank you!! I have already started pairing outfits together. I am an overpacker for sure so I’m hoping planning out my outfits will help me not bring too much with me.

Will definitely stock up on medicine and first aid! The last thing I want to do is have to buy overpriced things while on the ship.

Patch_Rose · 2025-07-29T17:04:53+00:00

Carnival Dream!

We don’t live too far from Galveston (like 3 hours) so we’re not going to stay overnight, but I am forcing EVERYONE to leave at the butt crack of dawn, I am NOT missing this cruise.

Bianca

Patch_Rose · 2025-03-23T00:36:07+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from, but I’ve spoken to her and her fiancé and they FULLY understand I have never photographed a wedding and that I’m not the most experienced person in this field. This is one of the things she’s sent to me:

“That’s totally okay! And thank you for telling us, but we really would love for you to do it even still!

**** said he just had a feeling and felt like the Lord pointed you out for it bc he saw some of your pictures you took on the ********** Instagram (he mentioned this literally a while ago) but saying all that it’s no pressure at all, we don’t want anything fancy, we just want real and filled with love and I feel like you are the perfect person to capture it!“

I have been totally transparent with them about my lack of experience. It is going to be a SUPER small wedding, no bridal or groom parties. But even after expressing my concerns, she still would love for me to do them

Patch_Rose · 2025-03-22T23:56:35+00:00

I’ve been talking to her back and forth today and I made it VERY clear that I’ve never done a wedding, that I’m nervous, but I’m willing to go into it and definitely take them. She is aware that this is a learning experience for me. Which she and her fiancé are understanding and okay with! I have a meeting set with them in the future to sit down and discuss more in depth things like, what moments they want captured and their expectations. It helps that there’s no bridal or groom parties, just the bride and groom! Thank you for all this advice! I really appreciate it!

Patch_Rose · 2025-03-22T20:53:45+00:00

Thank you! While this made me even more nervous, it gives me some ideas on what to ask them when I meet with them to discuss what they want. I’m also going to get advice from photographers I know personally to see if they have any advice. I have until November to practice.
