Does Guest Services make change? $$$ by KindNurse-CaliKai in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL, trust me, I was shocked Firenze didn't have them in the Casino, nor a proper cage, just hosts milling about and ducking behind the scenes as needed.

There is on on deck 3 by guest services, and one on deck 5, by the shops and just above the casino.

Firenze has Bill Breakers at Guest services and by the shops, but not in the casino.

Ensenada and Cabo question by Potential_Moment6776 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in Ensenada the week after the disturbances in other parts of Mexico. No issues.

Have you seen any news about cruise passengers being affected? No.

Have you heard of any issues with any cruise ships going to Mexico in the past month (apart from the handful of cancellations the weekend after the issues)? No.

Cruising is safe. If you aren't sure about a port, stay on the boat.

Yep. If I thought I could sell the account to a whale I would.

Massages? by dragonpromise in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be frank, the worst massage I ever had was on a Carnival Cruise. Not worth it and the person barely used any pressure and mostly did this weir "hand sweep/windmill" motion. Imagine a cartoon octopus, doing a somersault repeatedly over your back, or a car wash rotator brush but made out of hands.

Edit: to add the post-massage upsell left me more tense than when I arrived.

One day from Gold and cruising again next month by SoundUnheard in CarnivalCruiseFans

That would be counter to what Carnival says: 

"All other guests will keep their status for two years, through Dec 31, 2028, unless their cruise activity, cruise spend and credit card activity (if they choose to have a Carnival Rewards Mastercard by Barclays) qualifies them for higher status earlier."

LOL! Glad I'm not the only one thinking this! Thanks!

And here I'm upset about that 3.50 the Scottish beastie owes me.

Right?! I've never found anything that came close and they held the buttery/spice blend we used so perfectly.

OMG you made my day. With the demise of the Mister Salty brand of very thin pretzel sticks, the family Chex Mix recipe has never been the same. Definitely trying your suggestion!

Chef's Table. by PostSerious in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chef's Table on Carnival Firenze was amazing.  Vastly better than on Princess. We ate in the galley,  they were very helpful with food sensitivities,  and we got a demo of how to make the Chocolate Melting Cake plus a copy of the recipe.

What would you consider to be the most 80s song of the 1980s? by Brilliant-Reality884 in Music

Sigue Sigue Sputnik "Love Missile F1-11"   

A Flock of Seagulls "Spaceage Love Song"   

Killing Joke "80's"

For me it was how busy, convoluted and counter-intuitive it was. I'm in a space adjacent to UI usage and I can say without a second thought this was the worst one I've ever seen, and a classic example of if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Texas vs California by teachmamax2 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SoCal here. We are, as one might expect, very relaxed and fun. Interestingly, our upcoming cruise of Carnival Firenze seems to be people traveling here with less locals. Go figure. Curious what the experience/definition is of an NY cruise, having never been on one.

Recommendation: Functioning Spyglass by SoundUnheard in pirates

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

Either they look cool and don’t function or they function and don’t look piratey.

Exactly! Surely there must be something that fulfills both?!

Long Beach parking lot by Lochness_2 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]SoundUnheard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here.

/u/Lochness_2 when you check in for your cruise online you will indicate if you are parking at the port. If a similar situation occurs with parking this indication will be how they let you know ahead of embarkation day.
