How fun you were able to experience the Radiance! Liked the short series and how nice of the staff to gift you free coupons and extra snacks! Such a wonderful way to recognize two amazing people! Much love, Nancy & Anthony
I agree with you Jay about the drink. I’m platinum on my next cruise (April on the Vista) and I don’t drink alcohol during breakfast. I usually only drink starting at dinner time.
You are absolutely right about the FREE drink. I always thought it was restrictive to say last day after 5 on the Gold card. But we just turned Platinum and the time frame for FREE drink is even worse. I think they are hoping we will forget. At least on Gold we could get a drink on the way to dinner. If Carnival appreciates our loyalty they should let us get the FREE a drink whenever. We need to contact John Heald. Rant over. Thanks again for all your vlogs. So enjoyable and informative.
Woohoo! I’ve been waiting for these videos because I met you two ok this cruise day on the Radiance! I was Lisa and we met at the Alchemy bar, probably when you ordered the drinks on this sea day! I wanted to chat but had already had a few too many sea day drinks 🤣 thank you for squatting down for a selfie with my short self! Hope to see y’all around another ship sometime!
@@parodeejay odd I have a cruise booked on her for Florida next February and my PVP hasn’t officially announced the change in home ports to me yet. My PVP has been trying to get me in the Celebration, but that’s just a step too big for me and I’m not a fan of the lack of a real atrium.
Have you been on a two week cruise? Husband and I are going Jan. 14 - 28 , 2023. We are celebrating our 45th Ann.. Carnival has been good to us. So we will return to Carnival on the Carnival Dream. First time on her and for two weeks. We have no idea what it will be like. Have you been on the Carnival Dream.? I found your Video last year and hunt for your new ones every night. Husband goes to bed and I watch till I get sleepy. Love your cheerful, happy, and fun good times. Did I mention we are retired. Thank you for the love and fun you share. Good night 1:39 A.M.
For the Platinum free drink can you just get a shot of your favorite liquor, save it and mix it with juice or soda later in the day...OR ask for a cocktail with no ice, put it in your cabin fridge and add ice later in the day maybe???
How many ships on a sticks do you have now? King and Queen of trivia!! I don't know if I could do a 4 day cruise, they would have to rip me off the ship haha
My last cruise in November every single platinum perk was not given unless you specifically asked for it . The gift wasn’t left in your room you had to go to the photo store & request it ( a lanyard). Everything else water, drink, strawberries wasn’t offered or given unless you asked for it
Yes since cruising restarted that is how it has been. They should have sent information about that in an email. It's definitely different. They were trying to limit the amount of people that went into cabins I believe.
We normally leave ours in the cabin, then go retrieve them after breakfast, making sure that we have enough time to do that before the "all clear" time to vacate the cabins, hah... but you can take them to breakfast and leave them near the door, I suppose.
We totally agree with you on the drink coupon. We did go to Guest Services on the Sunshine on the last day and they gave Bruce and one of our friends a coupon so that theycould go to the coffee shop and get a milkshake. I used mine for a latte in the MDR.
Absolutely agree with you about the drink coupon, it's always been the strangest thing.. you should be able to use it anywhere anytime..I guess carnival makes out on that one..
There are non-alcohol options, but for the platinum & diamond coupon, you are supposed to order it in the dining room during the breakfast or brunch service, so it would be any specialty coffee that they could provide from the dining room, I suppose. The gold coupon can be used at any venue, so I suspect that one would be easier to take to the actual coffeeshop. It's strange, ha ha...
No, we pay for all our cruising. Dee is a travel agent and gets some deals, but not on all cruises. Our main thing is that we own our home, own our car, have no debt, and both own our own businesses that allow us to work from anywhere in the world that we can access the internet, including onboard a cruise ship. We’re quite fortunate to be doing what we do!! :D

Definitely right Jay. Carnival wants to give us a free drink perk but also wants to tell us when to drink it!? That blows my mind.
I agree with you Jay about the drink. I’m platinum on my next cruise (April on the Vista) and I don’t drink alcohol during breakfast. I usually only drink starting at dinner time.

Hi guys keep up the good work hope to see you again on another cruise.
These videos were fun to watch! Thanks!
You crack me up, Jay! “You can win a poop!” 😆😝
As always very awesome video today! Love you guys, and thanks so much always taking us with you for the greatness of cruising!
I just heard that Magic is going to Norfolk, very closed to you!
Yep, we’re slated to sail her again in October!! :D

Thanks for bringing us along! I love when you label the food. Sometimes I'm all confused 🤣.

I don't think Carnival lets you leave the bar with your drink
LOVE the "stadium" style seating on the Lido for this class of ships.
A brauntaSAUCEarous! 🤣
Awesome series Jay! Thanks for yours and Dee's hard work with the videos.
Seems like the drink perk on RC was way better;)
How many ships on a sticks do you have now? King and Queen of trivia!! I don't know if I could do a 4 day cruise, they would have to rip me off the ship haha
Mercy, hah… we kept one per cruise other than maybe three cruises where they were out of stock… probably about 35 trophies on the shelf so far!! :D

@@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay I by the way love your channel.
Question: so if you decide to roll your own suitcase out and not have them pick it up, what do you do with it during breakfast? Thanks!
We normally leave ours in the cabin, then go retrieve them after breakfast, making sure that we have enough time to do that before the "all clear" time to vacate the cabins, hah... but you can take them to breakfast and leave them near the door, I suppose.
Jay. Wasn’t aware you could order desert with extra sugar. Lol
We totally agree with you on the drink coupon. We did go to Guest Services on the Sunshine on the last day and they gave Bruce and one of our friends a coupon so that theycould go to the coffee shop and get a milkshake. I used mine for a latte in the MDR.
You guys are sooo good. You make my day! I don’t want your video to end.😁🇨🇦
Good morning, I never remember about my free drink... I'll try next time... do you guys pick up your Carnival pins too?
We usually do, but we totally forgot on Radiance. We snagged them on Panorama though!!
Totally agree about the drink couple Jay , it’s not fair .
Are those other cruise ships waiting to dock or?
Absolutely agree with you about the drink coupon, it's always been the strangest thing.. you should be able to use it anywhere anytime..I guess carnival makes out on that one..
I want to win a poop! HaHa Another great day, thanks for sharing.
xtra sugar too funny
Random update question. Do we have to get an alcoholic beverage? We don’t drink but we would love to have a specialty coffee if possible.
There are non-alcohol options, but for the platinum & diamond coupon, you are supposed to order it in the dining room during the breakfast or brunch service, so it would be any specialty coffee that they could provide from the dining room, I suppose.

I missed all this last wk when I was on the radiance
I agree about the free drink. Most of the time ours goes unused because of the restrictions.
Have met Jeffery on the Panarama , very nice man.
I am inquisitive. You are on continual cruising
How cam you afford it?
Are you sponsored

@@parodeejay very envious. Thank you for your reply
Ann Bourne
Rock on!
Have they applied fuel surge charges yet?
Not that we've seen, nope! No additional charges on any of our cruises.
@@parodeejay Thanks, we are enjoying your videos.
Who's Ryan rose
The cruise director!! :D
Good morning
I wish I could get just 1 (not 3) free drink vouchers for just simply talking to guest services…
We super honored anytime we meet folks onboard who follow our crazy shenanigans!! :P
Jay I know one more thing that Carnival should change, but maybe it's best that I don't mention what it is.
Lord, it's a casino for kids!
Jay--get that "blemish" below your right eye examined by a Doc--OK???
It's gone now! Pesky ingrown hair, hah... thanks!! :P ~Jay
