I don't even look at my cell phone while on vacation. I'm so glad they will bring back the Fun Time in paper version.

[@brendank66]

Love the paper copies; highlight what I want to do. makes it easier

[@randa200771]

We love the daily news/schedules/planners, whatever you want to call them. Ever since we started cruising we have kept every copy and at the end of the cruise it makes a great keepsake. We buy those looseleaf binders and keep the pages in there as a record of our travels. It really is a fantastic way to remember your cruise holidays.

[@amandagynn7010]

We had a paper copy delivered to our stateroom every day during our June 2023 cruise. Loved being able to circle off all the things I wanted to do! Esp when app acted up.

[@deborahjpower8079]

I love that Carnival is bringing that back !! We have saved every one of them, from every ship we have been on since 2005 !

[@joannke7727]

I still want paper. Glad to hear it is back

[@rickygarbe8547]

I always want a paper copy

[@wayneboley8925]

Sweet, Thank you Carnival. We’re one’s that keep them.👍

[@denisekraus2951]

I love the paper copies. I do keep them in a folder with pictures of the cruise. Nice to look back and remember the vacation.

[@belindacat]

Love the paper version! My husband and I check off what we want to do, and he puts it in his pocket for easy reference. Sometimes the app is slow and we quickly check our schedule.

[@marianneward8980]

Yes, it's awful when it won't load on your phone. It can be quicker to go back to your room sometimes for the paper copy than getting it to load.

[@m.m.4645]

Often the apps are crappy. Love the old paper! Always have a high lighter along!

[@lolal1026]

Yay... for paper schedule...I don't want to turn on my phone fearing I'll be getting charged for wifi.

[@joelroach416]

I love the Princess Patter in paper form so I am happy for Carnival cruisers. Dick Van Dyke is one of the funniest men ever, and a great dancer also.

[@csh43166]

I prefer the paper copy of the daily activities. You can write on and highlight it if you want, it's reliable unlike technology sometimes, and they do make great souvenirs!

[@gregm1955gm]

Glad Carnival made the move to bring back the paper info's under the cabin doors. Like you said it's a souvenir to take home and show your friends and family the keepsake that you got on the cruise. I still have a bunch of mine saved from past cruises. It's a nice memory and reminder of how those weeks went. Yes I'm a cruise veteran. 28 of them.

[@Stuff_And_Things]

How old must Dick Van Dyke be now? Omg he's 98 years old! Still doing what he loves. That's awesome!

[@csh43166]

He's amazing!!! 🥰

[@markm3901]

He will be 99 on Dec 13th. But the last few times he has been in public he has looked quite frail and in a wheelchair, so I doubt the rumor of him hosting is true.

[@motel1029]

We always request the paper copy!! We like being able to read it easier than reading it from a very small phone screen!!

[@pattappurple]

I was pleased when Princess brought back the paper Patter. I enjoy reading it at bedtime and planning what to do the next day.

[@terryanderson849]

We love the planner. It helps us plan the day. I also keep it and put it in my album.

[@eleanorfleck1035]

I always get paper on Royal. I use them when building my scrapbook of the cruise.

[@joewines3883]

We always ask for a paper copy of the daily planner in our room. It seems easier to read that than search through the phone. Next maybe carnival will come out with tamper prof water bottles in the rooms. Lol. That Broadway show sounds like it would be awesome.

[@chetdalski6538]

All positive things today - nice!

[@shawnmartin95358]

They've had the fun times back for at least a year. We had them on the miracle, the panorama, the radiance, AND lastly the jubilee in January. All after the pandemic

[@jameshoffman2163]

WE love the Patter on Princess. its great to see the whole day on one page.. Its better than scrolling thru the app.

[@user-il3mz6lq3w]

Love Broadway shows and bringing back the paper copy of the fun times is a plus!

[@TSKseattle]

I get the paper copy in the morning and sit down and scan thru for any games or karaoke etc I might want to schedule, THEN I go in the app and flag them in my schedule. My first cruise was Discovery Princess out of L.A. in Nov '22 and getting ON the ship was already made easy by our Medallions. We just walked along and touched the medallion at each station and walked on. Getting off WAS made much easier with facial scanning, as we found our bags in the bag pool and just scanned our face and walked on out.

[@tobiebrave]

Went on the second Broadway cruise. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! Especially if you are a theatre lover. There was a Broadway sing along every night, Broadway karaoke, workshops. Performances on the pool deck, in lounges in main theatre. The big highlights were Bernadette Peters and Norm Lewis who both had amazing shows. Already booked! You should come! But book soon. You pick your seats for the main theatre shows when you book the cruise. If you wait too long you may not like the availability.

[@RLGRAY428]

Glad to see the paper schedule is coming back. A big Thanks

[@ronw1864]

Good! I like the paper daily guides.

[@bonniescutt3648]

Love the paper copies!!

[@user-pb4dj7sg8s]

We love those papers

[@darleencherry4374]

Always loved the paper FunTimes and the Carnival Capers

[@aretheybiting2251]

I would prefer a rock n roll cruise ...and meet some of those superstars, ya know.

[@margaretatter4743]

Last year on every Carnival cruise all I had to do is ask my cabin steward to put one in my cabin every day. They did, I loved it.

[@TeamChadDad]

Awesome... FUNTIMES! Great News!

[@jeaniebranconi3319]

I would love the Broadway Show. I love Paper Planners

[@340dave]

Our past couple cruises had the Fun Times. I complained everytime since they quit providing them. Now, if we can bring back the punch drink.. 😉

[@vickeycollom6142]

Glad they brought back the paper copy. I hope others will follow. Would love the Broadway cruise.

[@jkconner9636]

They said they had them last summer but you had to go down to customer service to get one. Very happy if they go back to leaving them in the room.

[@Gen-yh1jz]

Love the paper version. I am able to make little notes on it and bring it home.

[@dinnermadeeasywithdena]

Don, I enjoy your channel so much, you and Tony keep me up to date!! Thank you

[@shirleypatrick100]

I’m on my first cruise and we left from Vancouver. I’m so impressed with how fast the boarding process was. Face recognition was in place.

[@pamelarobertson2043]

I'm glad they are back. I use them to scrapbook my trip.

[@rayjarrett1995]

I liked the paper copy so I could mark the things I wanted to go to, but I use the app to make reservations.

[@crellinadventures-becky6135]

Wow that broadway cruise sounds amazing!

[@SierraJim]

NCL, knowing how popular they are, always distributed the daily events paper. Received them on all three of our NCL cruises last year

[@peterneal7160]

NCL have a Daily Newsletter of what's happening on board and info on the Port and Excursions, Dining, Shows etc etc very informative! We keep them! MSC did the same thing!

[@brendapolk1723]

We like paper copies on a cruise.

[@MochaSilk]

When I cruised on Carnival in 1997, the printed schedule was called "Carnival Capers". I cruised on the Magic last year, I was given the choice of paper version or the app version. I prefer the paper version.

[@paulcarter8805]

I love that the fun times has come back, and OMG I would love to do one of the Broadway cruises

[@RoseSmith-kk8wg]

I love the paper Fun Times. Sometimes I don't bring my phone. I just ask

[@donaldedmondson4918]

I've got a collection of those paper schedules, love them ⚓️

[@belxsar1504]

Two thumbs up to both paper schedules and Broadway shows. :D

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

I hope you get to meet Mr. VanDyke, it would make a great photo for the wall of your house!

[@RonaldKrzywda-pu3ke]

Yes I like the paper it let you wear you going they need to put them back in the room am happy

[@karenpeacock6780]

I love the daily news and programs. I'm one who keeps every one of them. However, I like the app as well. It is very handy for booking and your ticket for shows and excursions. And I would absolutely be interested in a Broadway cruise! I love and don't miss the shows.

[@scottyphillips7799]

They have been back for over a year on the Glory, I saved all of ours as a keepsake. And I know they are also on the Liberty as well. I love the Fun Times handouts cause of the reason you said I put my phone in airplane mode and forget it.

[@susandowney6386]

My husband and I did the Broadway cruise out of NY and loved it.

[@LauraPerry63]

Yay. I like that much more than the phone. Yes my paper is in my scrap book from my first cruise. The Broadway ship sounds nice Yes would do a Broadway cruise

[@carlaoneal1296]

If you ask your stateroom attendant, you can get a paper cruise compass on Royal Caribbean ships.

[@annieb3615]

You’re right about the maze in Vancouver

[@emilydami7887]

I like the paper copy. It is a souvenir

[@gobbsmacked9777]

And I thought Carnival was bringing back Kathie Lee Gifford . . . 🎶In the morning . . . in the evening . . . ain't we got fun🎶🎶

[@sfh14ers]

Broadway Cruise sounds like alot of fun. I like the paper copies of the activity schedule. Like others I like to collect them as souvenirs. I embarked in Vancouver 3 years ago for a NCL Alaska cruise and it took nearly 2 hours of standing in lines that moved very slowly. Anything to reduce the embarkation time would be welcomed.

[@catheyandersen5232]

I always ask for an activity paper when I go on a cruise and Princess will give you one each day. I’m so happy they are making their way back on Carnival. Broadway cruise.,, Yes!!!! I’m looking forward to the Love Boat Cruise on Aug 31st!! I went to the first one from San Pedro, where they filmed the series and it was fabulous!!!

[@angelathomas6770]

Glad that they are bringing back paper planner. Broadway cruise sounds interesting

[@jaypurvis7191]

Glad the nightly activity paper is coming back,I'm clueless as to what's happening on the boat Now bring back affordable cases of water

[@user-yw8ir3mz5c]

Glad to hear paper Fun TIme is back. Take it with on shore excursions. Would like to lock phone in safe for entire cruise, but just isn't possible anymore...

[@catherinelogan6362]

You could still get the paper copy from the customer service desk and the coffee keosh

[@marthagrant143]

The Broadway cruise sounds great. I would love to sail on it.

[@christaft3506]

I would and do enjoy the boardway shows on the cruise as our main attractions and yes would do that ciurse for sure.

[@slammedgv]

Thank you for the update.

[@randijaffe-7665]

Remember years ago, cruises used to have a guest star production show?

[@chrissimonson9593]

I like the paper daily in my room and I would love a broadway cruise

[@darryld_009]

Wayne plays the wizard of oz in The Wiz. I would love to be on that ship

[@suedougmactavish3213]

You are right on with the Vancouver cruise terminal. Loved the location but checking in was awful. Anything will help.

[@beckymungo1333]

Yes, the Broadway cruise sounds amazing!

[@louisegoulet8039]

Last April on Sapphire Princess we had daily paper schedule for the next day left on our bed in the evening.

[@cruisincathy5351]

So happy the fun times is back. Would love to see Dick Van Dyke and the broadway real experience for sure

[@randijaffe-7665]

The changes- love the new muster, but do not enjoy how they let their guard down of sanitation! Do like the paper copy of daily events. Royal stopped it too- I did keep a few copies of years ago and true it is nice to reminisce!

[@gordonau206]

u right about Vancouver port getting on going up---go down --going inside back outside

[@robertabeyers3371]

We were on the carnival panorama in April and they delivered paper itineraries every day to are cabin.

[@johnwooten1210]

Fun Times was at my door every evening on my last cruise. Carnival Firenze

[@robertabeyers3371]

We were on the carnival panorama in April and they delivered paper itineraries every day to are cabin. Getting a paper menu in the main dining room was a bit tricky.

[@rhondawilson1206]

Princess and Holland America (both also Carnival corp) have always provided a paper copy in stateroom with evening service.

[@paulvoelker3801]

Summer 2022 Alaska on the Carnival Miracle and Summer 2023 Panama Canal on the Carnival Spirit we got paper copies every night at turn down service. Maybe it was because they are smaller ships. We love leaving the phone in the safe. We even ask fir real menus in the MDR😅

[@ruthkringle1353]

Wish I had a cruise planned

[@cynthiareifsnider5794]

I have been doing some cleaning out and found daily news sheets from Carnival year 2015. I pitched them. I liked getting them in the cabin at night for the next day, so we could plan what we wanted to do the next day.

[@bryantwalley]

I never looked at the phone. I always went down to the coffee shop and got one.

[@twaunniebusse7262]

I like the paper copy

[@darleneadams3137]

I have kept all the paper planners from our cruises.

[@joeseatac331]

Back to paper schedules?! Yes. And please keep the physical menus.

[@NewYorksFinest1]

I noticed the paper fun but I've never used it. Inend up throwing it in the garbage cuz I use the app. Plus you have to use the app anyway to book bfast and dinner at the dining room

[@lorenebowen1107]

I would love a Broadway cruise!!

[@HeroBear_Gaymer]

Broadway cruise?? Bring it on 🎉🕺💃

[@mitchmorrow1548]

I would definitely enjoy a Broadway Cruise.

[@dayofdevotion]

Wayne is also the host of Let's make a deal

[@aneesahland8895]

You had me interested the moment you said Broa.....😂

[@ryanclark692]

I was on a cruise in April and they had the daily planners. I didn’t even know they took them away.

[@helenbeaulieu1415]

Was on the Horizon end of April beginning of May and we got the Fun Times paper every day in our cabin
