All goes back to main character energy. They think they’re the only ones who matter and frick everyone else

I hope the Carnival ghetto doesn’t jump ship to Royal. Let’s keep Royal great!

Prices should do that, I hope. Also be choosy with your ports

15 per day drink limit Even when I used to get after it 15 would do me in. Unless it's some watered down bullsheet


Reading it I assume the limit is only for the package deal. I assume you could pay cash for more drinks after 15 if you don’t appear overly intoxicated

Tampa appears to be the worst of the bunch.

You can find slogans, quotes, etc on tshirts, ads, anything, that express this sentiment. People just don't care that they are imposing themselves on you and your space.

Carnival would be refunding my money if I show up to the pool to have a relaxing day, and some jackasses break out the JBL and some fans, and start line dancing in front of me.

Bertha can carry her fat arse elsewhere.

This. Get rid of the all you can eat. Do seatings with a three course serving and mandatory included tip. Only serve rare steaks, sushi and fresh garden salads. (Perhaps you can think of other entrees that might class up the place without drawing ranks from the unwashed masses), but you get the point.

Went on Royal Radiance of the Seas 3 weeks ago from Vancouver and had 450 Mennonites on board. It was the quietest cruise I've ever been on... casino was empty as was the bars.

Definitely! I cruise once a year from Galveston with RC and everyone always seems well behaved. I haven’t had a problem yet. In fact, I sat next to a young black family with two kids, and you could tell they had morals. It was refreshing.

On the other hand, my coworker told me last week he’s cruising carnival out of NOLA. I didn’t want to tell him, but he’s going to come back shell shocked.

I’ve been on 4 carnival cruises and all of them were great. Some minor annoyances, but nothing to ruin a good time. The only time I complained to the Carnival staff was the first couple nights of one of the cruises, the people in the next room were sitting on their balcony with their Bluetooth speaker blaring, which meant we were forced to listen to their music when we sat on our balcony.

I didn’t even know about the fans dance, but odds are I’m usually not anywhere near where that line dance would be happening anyways.

I went on my first and last cruise last summer. It was a Carnival Cruise. Definitely not for me. I’ll never go on another cruise again.,

It blows my mind people with means to travel otherwise choose to spend their vacation on a cruise ship.

Black Fatigue has kept me from going on a Carnival cruise for the past 20 years. It was bad then. I can’t imagine what it’s like now.

I think that is why there have been a rise in the number of people going overboard on cruises …. Can’t take the BS anymore

And Carnival’s stock is currently at an all time high.

It is and you're not real either. The game is called "frick with Oates". I'm the main NPC character. This type of shite from Carnival makes me want to jump off the cruise.

I have yet to take a cruise, but if I do it will be through my travel club. The New Year's Caribbean Yacht Cruise on the SeaDream starts at $18,500 and is members only. I don't think there will be any boots on the ground / fan slapping going on.

Still, why? What's appealing about spending that amount of money to be confined for days?
