Very excited for the big new ship class from Carnival! I think Carnival will eventually order some smaller ships but want this new project to get in the works first. I think they understand the need for smaller ships, it's just not in the current fleet expansion plans. I emphasize the word current!
i think that teen boy is just greedy and im disgusted in his parents for letting him eat that much, and then taping it like they are proud of him. whats there to be proud of, hes a growing boy i know but some type of sense and direction was definitely needed there.
Great update. I kinda feel sorry for the kid who gained fame from eating. He has a vacant look in his eyes, shows no emotion, even while eating, doesn’t even look like he’s enjoying it. Hunched over and just consuming. It’s sad at a young age , that’s your claim to fame.
It’s nice that Carnival has added the extra layer of log-in security. But remember, according to reports, that passenger POSTED HER BOOKING NUMBER ON SOCIAL MEDIA meaning anyone could see it. 🤦🏽♀️ Keep your booking number and all key information private, and good grief. Don’t post your booking number, etc online.
Too bad Carnival isn’t considering those of us that like smaller ships and can drive to a port that has them. I guess Baltimore, Tampa and others that can’t handle mega ships will be no more once the spirit class ships get too old to sail. Such a shame, Carnival isn’t listening to their customers and thinks mega ships is the answer.
8,000+ passenger ships to be built by Carnival. Ok so when is too big & too many just too much? Is it at 20,000 passengers or at 30,000 passengers or maybe 100,000 passengers??? Enough already!!!!
Until people quit booking them, and when ports stop allowing them to dock.. I suspect the larger ships are going to be limited to where they can go with a lot of port cities already limiting the number of people they can accommodate. There are a lot of small cities with less than 8000 people in them..
Carnival isn't listening to its loyal base at all. Even NCL built a whole new class of ship that only accomdated a little over 3,000 passengers. There is still pelnty of demand for smaller ships, but Carnival would rather attract a group of people that probably wouldn't ever realize that they are on water while they get off on their floating amusement park. Just because you can spend $8,000 on a crusie, it doesn't make it a smart purchase.
They already have a decent size fleet of smaller ships.. As long as people continue to cruise on the huge ships, the lines will keep building them, the extra space for what I think are silly things like roller coasters and the like is part of the reason. I am 65 and quit riding coasters, but I never went on a cruise ship to ride them anyway, that's what theme parks are for.
@garybelew7813 Yes. They have a decent size fleet of smaller ship, but it seems rather clear that they have no interest in replacing them when the time comes. And then what? Yeah, it'll be at least another ten years before this starts coming to a head, but it will, and at this point Carnvial seem content to just tell their loyal cruisers what they can go do with themselves when that time comes.
@@RedNekLvr22 I don't try to tell what the future holds.. I do know if they want to continue to cruise from the same ports they currently use, and maybe add more, they won't be able to continue with only huge ships.. The Conquest class ship they have several of barely clears the river bridge in New Orleans, a couple more decks, and it wouldn't make it. In my experience, a company should never say never, because it almost always comes back top haunt them. Just like changing 90% of the checkout lines at Wal-Mart to self checkout is costing them a mint to scale that back again.
Never Disney for us, but I have been on a ship that was almost 3500 and it was real nice, the Carnival Vista.. I have to agree with you on this size and the huge Royal ships, though.
Parents are legally responsible for what their minor children do. If they want to put them in an adjoining room by themselves that's fine. Other than that they need to be in a room with an adult.
Nope don't care what Carnival does not boarding any of there Ships. All the promotion crap does not impress me ! No teenagers should be with parents and an 11:00 pm. In there cabin curfew
Sadly there is not any remaining historic value to the SS United States since the entire interior was stripped to the metal bulkheads, all the furnishings were sold off, and the ship will take millions of dollars to refit and repair that there is just not enough support out there to fund. She would make a wonderful artificial reef to provide a habitat for the struggling marine life, much better then being slowly broken up in a salvage yard.
I'm gold on Carnival will be platinum on our next sailing in December. I believe that drink perk should be a bit better for Platinum & Diamond. Platinum should get like at least 2-3 drinks on any cruise and Diamond should get 1 a day. Diamond is 200+ cruises. That's a bunch of money and Carnival should at least reward them for that. Just my opinion.
I was wondering the same thing . Also, the cruise terminal in Philly closed years ago. Where will it be departing from then? And to be a little more knit picky... How can this person not be able to say CHARLESTON? they exaggerated the H by a LOT
My husband and I both have balance issues. My husband also gets up to go to the bathroom several times a night. We love, love, love the motion sensor lights.
We had a bad experience with a travel agent that cost us our entire deposit on our last cruise. The cruise line couldn’t do anything unless she agreed to transfer the booking and she refused. We had to cancel, losing our deposit and then rebook directly with the cruise line. Do your research if using a travel agent. There are MLM companies have their “travel agents” watch an hour video and that’s it. It’s not regulated at all.
I my view point is I don’t use trade agents for my booking I found poor customer service and they didn’t follow through The goal was how money they can make
@@Strel-il7vj not at all if you average one drink every 90 minutes the entire time you’re awake you have a beat before dinner I’m cruising on Norwegian three weeks and a beer on board is seven dollars at $70 a day that’s easy
@@thebraz21 It ain't easy on your liver. I can drink like that one day...but two in a row? Starting in the morning? I'd be dead of dehydration by Wednesday.
