It looks like the Carnival influence has shown up again.


Hi,

I would not blame the "Carnival influence" if I were you. Carnival
leaves decisions like this up to the individual brand's management.

Defintely seems to be true, Ray. For example: Carnival generally goes a
great job of handling customer problems on board; imo and experience,
HAL still has a problem with this.

Carnival saved HAL by purchasing the company in 1989. Carnival
Corporate management is not near that slow in making changes. ;+)

Best regards,
Ray
