best bang for my $ and I typically cruise solo so feel quite safe!

I'd like to see a special SOLO fare especially for Platinum/Diamond VIFP!! I'd say at that level it would be well deserved!

I'm here to report.... I just got off a 12 day CCL Journeys cruise and my cabin steward made a towel creation each and every night for my cabin mate and me

so Keith n Rita... I think we chat a bit on CCL's Facebook page

If you like sea days you'll LOVE a TA cruise.. I've been on 3 and have CCL Legend booked for a 16 day NYC-London via Greenland, Iceland, Shetland Isles, Ireland (5 ports, 11 sea days) in Jun 2020 with a bunch of folks I met on my last TA (May 2018 on CCL Horizon). Have cruised the Panama Canal 3x now.. if you get the opportunity try to find out if the ship will be passing through the "old" locks.. they are so fascinating with the flurry of activity assisting the ship through the locks.. the "new" locks are so automated as a gal sitting beside me on my last trip through so aptly said "it is about as exciting as watching paint dry!" HAH! Enjoy!

every cruise :)

I take a fair amount on my cell phone... and share on Facebook to make my friends envious. but that's all.

I have used the same TA since 2002 to book all but 2 cruises (got friends & family through a friend that worked for NCL). My TA specializes in cruises (though can perform all) and has ALWAYS been there for me (49 cruises booked through her to date)!!! I wouldn't book any other way.

I sure wish CCL would post something because folks on their FB page are going NUTS!!!!

there is NO one at the excursion desk that can help. I went to the excursion desk on Horizon in December 2018 to ask and was specifically told they NO longer book future cruises and that I could use the computer to book, input a code for specials, amenities, etc.

I'm literally ONLY in my cabin to sleep and shower/change for dinner, events, etc.. if I want to enjoy my morning coffee while gazing at the calming view I'll go up to a high deck that is empty and/or quiet and sit outside :)

I read it on CCL's Facebook page and interestingly CCL did NOT dispute it.. I have 4 friends on CCL Magic right now and they said they are still getting towel animals each evening so YAY!! No photo.. just a lot of discussion.. WOW sad that something as innocuous as a towel animal would offend someone!!!! :(

hmmm. thanks.

I just read on Carnival's Facebook page they are not gracing our cabins with towel animals any longer (unless requested) due to someone being offended by one of them.. Can you please check this out and verify if it is true or just an inane rumor? Thank you.

I guess I'm confused and annoyed re: post content.. How do the crew members that serve us personally (i.e. cabin steward(s), etc.) know if we did or did not pay gratuities?? If one doesn't prepay gratuities are typically added the last evening of the cruise. I prepay my gratuities months before the actual cruise then pack thank you cards and cash so I can thank them one-on-one for making my cruise so much more fun. I exclusively cruise CCL and I for one have NEVER heard them use code when speaking.. this post is very disconcerting :( color me sad.

I book typically a year in advance.. on social security so gives me the benefit of making monthly payments :) used to book on-board for the extra OBC but as of late 2018 CCL no longer has a future cruise person to book through.. sigh……

Long cruises are my preference and I have cruised many.. typically 15-16 days.. a couple of b2bs and a b2b2b gave me 24 & 25 days on board. I enjoy the Transatlantic cruises.. cruised OZ - NZ several years ago 16 days... WONDERFUL!

EVERY TIME! WHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd offer a reasonable solo cruise fare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take a LOT and sit for a LOT!!! MEMORIES!!!!

BEST bang for my $. I cruise solo and feel very safe.

My daughter and I cruised a 10 day Mexican Riviera out of Los Angeles on Sun Princess and were instantly HOOKED!!!! a gal on her 86th cruise took us under her wing and showed us the ropes.. b.t.w. she was a KICK!! that was October 2002 and as of Dec 2018 I have been on 49 cruises with 3 future cruises booked.

I'm a Diamond VIFP :) unless CCL creates a higher level guess I'm THERE!

my daughter and I learned on our very 1st cruise that late seating was the way to go.. we had signed up for early seating and being total novices we thought we were OBLIGATED to be there.. One port we were having a crazy fun time and had to cut it short to return to the ship to shower and get ready for our seating.. that was when we said NEVER AGAIN! if my tummy is growling I grab a snack on Lido or a self serve ice cream.. does the trick every time :)
