RCL cruisers about to go on our first Carnival....
havanadaydreaming replied to AZDivers's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I dunno, ive been on the biggest and smallest ships on Carnival and NCL. I had a blast on them all. In fact the smaller ships often seemed less crowded and hectic. Sure there were fewer a la carte restaurants and bells/whistles but the passengers per sq ft ratio seemed better. Id embark the MG with an open mind. We booked MSC Divinia based on one senior citizens recommendation on shuttle bus from FLL to Port Miami. Looooved it, mostly. But what ive read from others over the years would have discouraged me. -
Day 4 - 6th consecutive rainy day of vaca. Margaritaville Grand Turk - gift shop very depleted. Id say carrying 25% of usual items. Bar challenged as well - no drink servers at pool lounge chairs like normal. And after walking to bar near gift shop only drink upsell was pilsner glass...which isnt allowed near pool. (The out of stock bigger plastic souvenir glasses have muuuuuch better cost per oz on refills). Only heard one Jimmy Buffett song the 3+ hours we were there. For lack of a better word, that sucked. Suffice it to say i think the GT cafe just fell from my Worlds Best Margaritaville slot. Nice pasta lunch mid afternoon at Captains Cucina. Thumbs way up. 👍 Time for a chill pill before heading out to Alchemy and live entertainment. The Mrs, who had no drinks, is exhausted from shivering in cold rain earlier today. Napping it off.

Day two and three Thumbs up - Emeril branzino entree. Buffet pork shoulder. Guy's Plain Jane. Piano bar. Amber cove pool music. Coffee shop cafe latte. Sun sun sun on 3rd day after 2 rainy days in miami and 2 rainy onboard. Thumbs down - casino game that took my money. Amber cove beer in black can, 6 for $25. Blech.

If one orders five entrees id expect more than a few stares. I have 3 former college athletes in my entourage and none cleared both entrees they ordered last night.
