Just got back from a carnival cruise. Taking questions for a little while.

They do all kinds of add ons and to get that rate or something similar you have to book like three years out. I personally have not seen a cruise for $300.
I think singles all join up and go together and each pay only for themselves which could be doable for maybe $1500 apiece if they time it exactly right and book well in advance. Also the more you go on the better rates you get for everything, like internet and casino credit and size of room.
This is basically all what I learned from my dad who loves this dumb crap. He I also an expert on free weekends from timeshare presentations

Blacks were a significant minority on the cruise. Mostly it was hilarious rednecks. Lots of Big people. Tattoos and country accents.
Dad doesn’t have any filter and when we’d go to dinner he’d say things like man that girl has got shoulders like a linebacker and not too many blacks at the early dinner seating and stuff like that. He’d also point at people. I kept telling him to act right and he’d try for a few minutes and then he’d forget and comment on some chick’s big ass etc.
Seems like he had fun. We stopped in Bimini Nassau and this ridiculous island w a beach only for cruise passengers.

Thanks. He was really happy I went with him. He has no idea of course how much of a pain in the ass it is for me to take that much time off for him alone when I’m not even crazy about cruises to begin with.
He can be difficult, as all men are in their 80s. But I kept him upbeat and urged him not to be critical of everything. He gets anxious at times too so I’d have to remind him to chill.
He opted for the 5 pm dinner option every night which was lulzy.

Wife and I went to Bermuda about 15 years ago. That was also carnival. It was dirt cheap back then.
I will do another cruise to Bermuda later this year. Not because I want to but because that was the travel option my kid jumped on. I offered him a cruise or a family trip to Ireland. He said “cruise!” Before I even finished describing the second option. Lol. Said his friend went and loved it.
So I am doing this dumb thing again in just a couple months. Same ship, even. Just the destination is different. Bermuda, not Bahamas.
