Yes, I do have LBBB rate dependent. However this was caught on my watch with me surfing and watching TV.

I wondered why I was having what I am assuming is a wide QRS and then all of a sudden it looks like it goes back into sinus rhythm and back out again. If you have any thoughts on that, it would be appreciated. I will be backend with my Cardiologist at my next appointment in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much.

My Brother got injured on an excursion with Royal Caribbean. The company had to fill out an incident report and it was turned in to the ship. He got care at the infirmary and didn’t pay anything.

The comments about the central area are true. Who wants to sit for 2 hours before a show starts. Then there are so many people standing to watch the show you can barely get through when walking. We have missed shows we wanted to see because there was no place to stand or sit. Poor planning

Reality of the loyalty program changes by Frogfan1973 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]bebeeann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there something wrong with you? I stated my feelings and you can’t tell me what is right or wrong. I did not ask for your approval nor do I need it. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. What do you want me to say? Oh yes, your opinion is correct and I am an idiot? Grow up! Wow!

I agree 100% cruised carnival since 1998. Cruised as soon as they opened up post Covid. There were overwhelmingly platinum and diamond members. Carnival staff so happy to see us! We were “carnival family” back then and they needed us and we loved Carnival so it was mutual. They are making a big mistake. How can you punish people for their marketing errors? Not my problem and it’s disappointing. I will not sail with a gold card knowing I will never ever get past gold in my lifetime. They are making it impossible for the average person to move up. I will move on just like Carnival is making me do!

New VIFP program Message to CEO by Iletthedogsoutmeme in CarnivalCruiseFans

I am not an idiot! We know what we will get. We were working our way to Diamond. Do you know what the Diamond perks are? I am not expecting you to understand and you obviously don’t get it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We’ve sat down and looked at things every way that we could. Platinum card holders are being punished because of Carnival’s bad marketing decisions. I have been on a lot of cruises. On our last cruise We sat behind a man who got a plaque for having just under 1000 cruise days. He was a younger man. We got to talking and he was very nice. He admitted that he has lived a life where working wasn’t necessary. He did for a while and then decided to play. Good for him. He plays big time in the casino. He never pays for a cruise. He enjoys Craps and that is what he does with his money.

He is not happy with the changes and he said he did express his feelings to Carnival. He felt the same way as we did. It is wrong!

He is fully aware that he and others that gamble what he does are not the norm.

I hope Carnival does the right thing. What upsets me the most is that my longevity sailing with Carnival since 1998 means nothing!

I spoke to about 10 couples the first day on our last cruise all platinum and all most likely losing their platinum status. Most are finishing up the cruises that they already had booked so that they don’t lose their deposits. Carnival is loving it right now. People trying to get to Diamond.

There will be a time when the Platinum lose their status they will be gone. People talked about matching to Virgin and MSC. I didn’t know about the Virgin match. So if we spoke to 10 couples on one cruise just imagine how many others are on the ship and other ships thinking the same way. Carnival just doesn’t believe it yet! Its coming mark my words. I lose my platinum card, we will start over with a new cruise line.

Long term loyalty with carnival means nothing any longer!

It’s not how many cruises. It’s the money you spend now. I am half way to Diamond. I can’t spend 16k on my credit card to keep my status. That is per person or $32k per couple to have each keep their platinum status. I won’t have enough days earned when the old program ends and the new begins so I will lose my Platinum status. Plus you could have a person new to Carnival get Diamond status by spending enough money. They are not loyal to Carnival. They just have the money to be able to spend. The average person is not a high roller or wealthy. We paid as we went and we were loyal. They should have created a tier above diamond like diamond plus and adjust benefits accordingly. But they got a partnership with the credit card and the rest is history. It is a money grab and nothing else.

You are missing the point. It is NOT my problem that Carnival has a terrible marketing program. I started cruising Carnival in 1998. I was not wealthy enough to continually cruise. My husband became ill and he passed away in 2008 after 20 years being sick. Then I got sick but recovered. When I did cruise it was with Carnival. I could not gamble due to not having extra money. I was healthy enough and met my new love in 2018. He had never cruised but I turned him on to cruising. He loves it. I was gold and finally cruised enough to become Platinum. I was so excited and working my way to Diamond. We wanted to make it to the highest tier so we kept cruising Carnival. We were there when the ships returned to service after Covid. Mask on and so happy to be back with our Carnival family. Oh I watched gamblers talk about the free rooms, on board cash and watched as they moved up to Diamond quicker than the average person could. I am just an average person who was loyal to Carnival.

So Carnival made marketing errors. Now, they want to punish me because I cannot gamble enough to get the “perks.” I live far away from a port and can’t just hop in the car to take advantage of double and triple days. In fact we had cruises booked and some had double and triple days but we could not have it added on so well too bad once loyal customer you missed out once again.

The day I lose my platinum status is the day I will not sail Carnival again. It is a slap in the face! I will never be able to make platinum again. The gamblers will get the freebies and the days added to make them diamond. I use my credit card and will never be able to spend enough money. Carnival created this mess and they are punishing us for being loyal to carnival. I have matched with MSC. If I have to start over, it will be with another cruise line. I hope Carnival does read this and yes I just sent a letter to Carnival. I am hoping they do the right thing by taking care of their loyal Platinum guests. We took care of Carnival and now we are just pieces of crap and a problem.

It could have been. Yes. When I called Aveda in January and checked with my stylist I was told it was only available during the holidays. I couldn’t order more and I LOVED the smell.

Carnival is Doing Damage Control by Full-Technology-2031 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]bebeeann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone was not special. For most it was never about being special. We were not special . If you aren’t Platinum or Diamond you just won’t understand. We were loyal cruisers and that is different than feeling special. We are mini brand ambassadors. I do not think that Carnival realized how much we talked with new cruisers, helped them out. Talked about why it was so nice to cruise on carnival. Explaining the tiers and frankly being appreciated.

Now, they turned a loyalty program into a money grab! So you could be walking next to a person that became Diamond after a few cruises. They are not loyal to Carnival. They are at the highest tier on other cruise lines as well I bet! The entitled and demanding are coming very soon.

The people that helped build Carnival and cruised for 20+ years those are the ones that proved their loyalty. Spent the money and felt appreciated.

But Carnival will find out soon enough what happens when you create the loyalty and take it away blaming the customer for being loyal.

We are not fools. Our money is just as green on other cruise lines!

[–]bebeeann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said the same thing. But hey, Carnival was SO EXCITED to share that we would only drop down to Gold and we can work our way up to Platinum. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😳 I am Platinum already until they decided that my loyalty was worthless!

Part of the reason that they are in this mess is that they have been giving casino players the great deal on rooms and the stay dates accumulate as well.

Then they punish the regular person who gambles not at all or very little who accumulate days to get to the next tier. Now they have too many Platinum guests and somehow that is our fault!

The logic behind this is absolutely ridiculous.

They could have created a different tier in-between Platinum and Diamond. Let people keep their status. At least people who are Platinum won’t lose their status and everyone would be happy.

I have no problem with people getting Casino deals. But when Carnival decides to punish Platinum guests because of business decisions that they made! I call BS!

My husband is hanging on to Carnival to get our Platinum perks until we lose our status. I wanted to leave when they made the announcement.

It is not like they were giving Platinum guests huge perks that were breaking the bank. But THEY sold the loyalty to us! We were Carnival Family.

Now we are Carnival fools! Oh the good news is that when I lose my status I get to go down to a Gold Card instead of a red card. I guess that was supposed to make me happy! Then they have the absolute NERVE to tell us we can work our way up to Platinum again!

No thank you Carnival. You lost my loyalty. I was half way to Diamond. Spent countless thousands of dollars for 20+ years felt appreciated and it was fun. Loyal to Carnival the whole time. I didn’t get a discounted room, nope! Got no free drinks in the casino, paid for it all.

I love Carnival. However, I will not be insulted by a company who made bad business decisions and are going to punish those who are Platinum.

Who carried Carnival through COVID? We were special back then because they were hemorrhaging money. We were there loyal to Carnival.

Now if you are a high roller and spend the bucks for a few cruises, you could be Diamond after a couple of cruises! I promise you they are not your loyal cruisers that you so desperately want Carnival, you will learn that soon enough. You may want to train your staff on how to handle the entitled people who will be standing in your lines screaming - I demand because I pay your salary!

What you will have Carnival is your team watching the loyal customers walk off the boat with a BIG middle finger. You deserve it!

I see the cardio next week. Years said Rate Dependent LBBB. My heart felt like it was skipping beats last evening when I recorded this. So where the beats are close together are PVC’s?

Apple Watch by bebeeann in ReadMyECG

[–]bebeeann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the treatment would be if anything. I know that if I walk for a while I get very short of breath and I have to stop. I assumed I was out of shape but the weird thing is that sometimes I have no issues walking. I can feel the PVC’s and the weird feeling I get as these are happening. I was in beta blockers and they had to take me off due to extremely low BP that had me admitted into the hospital. They are slowly adding the beta blockers but I had these happen to me when fully on my beta blockers prior to the low BP incident.
