Our first Carnival experience was on the Carnival Paradise last week. Overall it was really good but

There is more chance of Donald Sterling being asked to be Ambassador of the United Nations los angeles night clubs than there is of me ever being asked to be top beard for Carnival Cruise Lines. OK, I would enjoy being president for a week and be involved in important decisions like hiring more Latvian supermodels as crew and making Southend on Sea, Essex, UK, the home port for the Carnival Vista. But deep down I know I will never be president of Carnival Cruise Lines, a senior beard or indeed any kind of beard because I know my limitations and when it comes to what is required to be a beard, those limitations are massive. In the old days and if you wanted to present an idea to the beards you either picked up a phone, wrote an e-mail or stood up at a meeting and said, I know, let s do this.
These days, it is all so different and to present any idea to Gerry and the beards, you have to build what is called “a deck. Now this is beard speak for a visual program using Powerpointlessbollockswindowsmacpowerbookmyarse which, by beard law, has to be 377 pages long and include lots of numbers and columns and projections and dollar signs. The problem is that considering I have the computer los angeles night clubs capabilities of a slug – it would take me two years to build this sodding deck and by the time I had done it, the idea I had would be outdated!
But the less senior beards who report to Gerry and his more senior beards seem to have this down and knock out deck after deck and idea after idea and wait until you see what they have planned for the aforementioned Carnival Vista!
“Why are you writing about being a beard,” I hear you cry? Well, as I hurtle towards 50 at breakneck speed I have been asking myself, “What’s next? as President Bartlett would say. I think Alaska and I are going to suit each other really well and tomorrow when I finally los angeles night clubs take over as a cruise director, I think I will like it even more. But what, indeed, do I do next? I don’t know the answer, I really don’t. Maybe I could do more social media from home and travel every other month onto a ship? I don t know what s next, except I want my relationship to continue with Carnival for many more years to come.
Oh one more thing, if I ever do get to be president of Carnival Cruise Lines I will allow myself one day, just one sodding los angeles night clubs day, on the blog and on Facebook where I can reply to questions without fear of losing my job .Oh what true joy that would be. “No, I don t apologise, it was a sodding joke you blithering idiot. Get a sense of humour and stop proving why some animals eat their young. Oh, and anyone who calls me Heald, as president I will be allowed to strip them naked and have Fun Ship Freddy flick their buttocks with a wet Carnival beach towel. I would film it, build a deck about it and show it on the big screen.
My colleague, Michelle, tells me you are sailing on the Carnival Victory and they will have an elegant night on the sea day before Grand Turk but no other theme nights. I am sure you will have a brilliant time and please los angeles night clubs let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes.
John, I just returned los angeles night clubs from a March 23 cruise on Carnival Sunshine with my family.  It was our last family vacation prior to our 17-year-old son goes into the Marine Corps in June.  Overall it was a great cruise on a really well done ship with one big head scratcher. Special kudos to the Camp Carnival staff.  My eight year old son had an amazing time there.  He did not want to leave.  Our room steward, Jury, was amazing.  From day one, he referred to all of us by
name which makes a surprisingly big impact. los angeles night clubs The shows were good, although I found the family game show fell a little flat. The food was overall good.  The dining room was a little inconsistent but overall still very good.  The wok and Italian stations los angeles night clubs were a lunch time favorite.  The Havana Bar is an underutilized gem.  The culinary highlight though was JiJi s.  Amazing food with a fun and social presentation.  The staff on the ship overall were great. Now the head scratcher.  My wife and I did The Chefs Table.  A big part of our desire to this over a dinner at the steakhouse was the advertised tour of the galley and seeing how the molten chocolate cake is made. The dinner was enjoyable with appetizers in the piano bar and dinner in a private space in the steak house.  The presentation was nice and the food good.  There was a brief performance by one of the magicians which was fun.  And then it ended with a thank you and good night from the chef.  No tour.  No explanation of why the tour was cancelled. Just over.  The confirmation los angeles night clubs letter even told us to wear close toed shoes because of the tour.  No explanation, just thank you and good night.  While in no way a big enough bummer to hurt the overall excellence of the cruise, it was a disappointment.  If we would have known there was no tour, we would have booked the steak house for our couple night out.  As I said, at the beginning, overall a great cruise and a thank you to all who made this family vacation los angeles night clubs one to remember for a very long time.  P.S.  If you could find out what happened to the tour, please let me know.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review which I will send to the chef and the hotel director among others. I have no idea why you did not get a tour as that is very much a part of what The Chef s Table is all about and I apologise sincerely why this did not happen. Let me find out why and let you know what the story is here as I am sure there must be a good reason. I am so glad you had fun and I do hope we see you and the family again very soon. Best wishes to you all.
Hello Curran, I was just informed that there was a technical problem within the galley that night which meant there were lots of people working on repairs so a tour could not be carried out. Now that should have been explained to you and it is not good that it was not. Please accept my apologies and those of the hotel director who wrote to me with this explanation.
I need to bring to Carnival’s attention the embarrassing situation me and my life partner, los angeles night clubs Helene, were put in by our rude cabin steward _______ on the Carnival Dream last week cabin number _____. We came to the cabin and put our bags in and saw the bed was a king bed as we wanted. Then came back to the cabin and found that he had made them into twin bed setup. I could not find him until the next morning and had to tell him that we wanted the king bed back. Does Carnival not understand or acknowledge that there are millions of lesbian and gay couples that deserve the same service as heterosexuals or was this just because our cabin steward was anti-gay? Helene was in tears and no apology was rendered by Carnival.
I do apologise for this because I absolutely understand why you found this upsetting. I will send this to the managers on the ship so they are aware and I am sure your cabin steward los angeles night clubs felt bad about his mistake and I am positive that he certainly did not mean or intend to be “rude.” I hope that aside from this, you both had a wonderful cruise and that we see you both soon. Best wishes.
Our first Carnival experience was on the Carnival Paradise last week. Overall it was really los angeles night clubs good but I have one HUGE COMPLAINT. Why is nothing offered when the daily paper comes to the cabin for passengers like me who cannot read the SMALL PRINT? I found it impossible to read. They used a very small font and nothing was done to help me. This is discriminatory in the United States.
You are right indeed when you say the Fun Times has really los angeles night clubs small print because with so much to tell our guests about, we have very little room for it all. However, we do provide two services for those guests who have sight problems. There is an audio channel on every state room TV on each ship that will provide an audible and complete run down of all the day’s events, shows and meal times. Then if you request through our special needs desk ahead of time or indeed through me here or on Facebook or directly to Guest Services Desk on the ship a large print Fun Times can be given to you each day. I apologise that we did not communicate these options to you during your cruise and please do let me know if I can help you before we see you again. Best wishes.
I read your blog from time to time so I am used to your biased, unfounded and sick comments about the environment and those of us who cherish this planet we call Earth. Your comment today suggesting that Carnival passengers be given guns to shoot at birds that may fly over the cruise boat took your lurid humor to a whole new level. You obviously are void of a decent education los angeles night clubs so I actually have pity for you somewhat. Keep your comments to yourself because from what I understand this is a supposed page offering advice to cruisers and not some platform sickening jokes and anti-environmental opinion.
Thank you so much for writing and I did want to move this comment forward to answer today as it is current and needed an answer. Thursday s blog was viewed 70,289 times and I have seen four different comments about my end joke about trapshooting. I do apologise for upsetting you, that is never my intention, Benjamin, and yet it was a joke and I am surprised that you and three others took it seriously. I love animals, I really do, and in hindsight I should be a bit more careful with this type of humor but sometimes I just cannot stop myself. I do again apologise for upsetting you and I hope that one day we can discuss together on a great cruise like this one to Alaska our different opinions los angeles night clubs on the environment and talk as men do. Best wishes.
Hi John: my family and I just finished my 11th cruise on Carnival (Breeze, 3/15/14).  I have a question/comment on the Cheers program. los angeles night clubs When we sign up for the program, the 15% gratuity is added to the charge.  When ordering a drink from a bartender, or server, does their portion of the tip somehow get traced back and credited to them?  If not, are they expected to wait on us for nothing and Carnival keeps thei
