This was super helpful and I love how you were able to pack so much information into a clear, concise, organized video! That's serious talent haha. Thank you!!!
So much useful info, as always with you 2. The different approach to disembarkation scheduling is interesting. It will be interesting to see if they've maintain that.
Very good information my friends. Thank you for the information. Like I said to you before, I have never been on a cruise and still doing research. HAHAHA. LIKE 40. 👍👍👍
We booked the carnival panorama and stayed in the havana aft cabins. It was the worst! The smoke stacks turned our balcony into a coal yard. It was full of black soot every day. They will only clean it 2 X and 10 minutes later it's full of black soot. You could never sit down without get your clothes all black or your hands black just by touching anything. It would get all over your feet and turn your carpets black. When we told our steward they said sorry that's how it is back here there working on fixing it for last few years but carnival didn't tell us that when we booked it. We called carnival when we returned home and 6 weeks later they sent us an email saying sorry we'll be happy to give you a $25 on board credit for your next cruise. What a joke! We had 2 more cruises set to go in the upcoming months and we canceled them and we booked with another cruise line. Will never Sail Carnival again. Also the food was always cold and way to many people fighting with each other.
That’s too bad about the smoke stacks. We have never tried an aft balcony but that would be big annoyance. Who wants to pay for a balcony and not be able to use it. I hope your cruises with the other cruise lines were better
Carnival is better in my opinion overall. Cheaper, The food is not that bad and if you want animation, the CD are the best over other cruise lanes based on my taste. I work from home, when I go in vacation I want to live and do things that I won't do normally if I can say ( drink a lot, visit different places, party, eat what ever is available, no cleaning,socializing, etc) . I am a sellout of Carnival. I've cruised with different lines. They don't have the same vibe as the *fun ships*. Maybe the food and the ships are better with other cruise lines but even if we exclude the price, even if Carnival was more expensive than Royal or NCL per say, I would choose Carnival by far.
They definitely do bring the fun. We also found there are so many different ways. It is not just partying so whatever fun you want, they have it. Thanks watching and commenting. Happy travels 🦩
Is it okay if you take the 12 cans of soda you can bring with you and put them in your luggage separately to save space or do you have to carry it on in the case?
If u don’t get a drinks package, what is avail…just water or coffee tea @ the free eateries? Also, is the water safe 2 drink ( ie. filtered) so for exs, I could fill up my water bottle b4 my excursion & use that instead of buying a bottle of water while out?
There is coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, lemonade and ice tea. That is what we do. We fill our water bottles from the drink stations at the buffet and cafe.
@@TravelingFlamingo ok, thank you. i'll bring some of those flavor packets/electrolyte things to put in my water for a change of pace instead of water all the time. my mother is frugal so she's not doing the drinks package, plus we don't drink alcohol anyway so we figure thats best. i was just curious about the options.
You can also use the chat feature on the app. Costs $5 per user (total), so if you have a party of 4 people, 20 bucks if you want to dm each other from opposite ends of the ship. Definitely worth the cost for that alone, and you don't need the wifi to use it.
Does anyone actually drink more than 15 drinks in a day? I mean... no judgement but... I wouldn't have called it "odd" that she didn't mention that limit. In most cases it wouldn't matter.
Carnival posts a 1 billion profit for the last 3 months and they come out with a drink package price increase, talking fuel surcharges, etc. They are getting greedy. The wife and I are looking at booking our 2-3 cruises for next year, but now we are thinking we will look at other cruise lines. Carnival is getting too greedy and fleecing their passengers.

We are so glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy travels.

Yes it is interesting to see how different cruise lines do it. Virgin Voyages encourages you to keep your luggage when disembarking.
First cruise will do again 😊
Great 👍Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, so much useful information given
❤️ thanks for watching and commenting.
Good tip about the app. I completely agree. It was really useful.
We were so impressed with the app! Other carnival Corp brands need to step it up.
Very good information my friends. Thank you for the information. Like I said to you before, I have never been on a cruise and still doing research. HAHAHA. LIKE 40. 👍👍👍

@TravelingFlamingo I hope so too. It's just a slap in the face to take away your balcony basically and then say here's $25 for your troubles.
@@bigguy1403 yeah that is definitely disappointing

They do say it has to be carry on. I’m not sure what would happen if it was in your checked luggage.

Does the app work even if you don’t pay for the wifi?
Yes the app does work. So you can make dining reservations and check out the activities on board. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy travels 🦩

Carnival has seven, yes seven extra cost restaurants on the Jubilee. Not my favorite line anymore 😢
Wow yeah it’s too bad. It’s nice when there is a lot of included dinning. It’s fun to try and spreads out the crowds.
odd you didnt mention the drink package limits user to 15 drinks a day. thats pretty important
That is a very good point! Yes it is a max of 15 alcoholic drinks a day. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Does anyone actually drink more than 15 drinks in a day? I mean... no judgement but... I wouldn't have called it "odd" that she didn't mention that limit. In most cases it wouldn't matter.

That is a really good point! There is a lot of competition and people love those drink packages. That’s too bad about the increase in price
