  1. Hey Sid, if you don't mind, could you tell me what you paid for the bottle of Hennessey Pure White?
  2. Ryan Rose is a great CD, we loved having him on Inspiration. Before the Pandemic we were on a mission to get to Diamond before a JH cruise, so we were doing the 3 day cruises once a month or so. We'd bring him rice krispie treats every time we boarded. I was so happy to see him promoted to Panorama! We can't take the longer cruises now, so we miss seeing him. Make sure to see his outfit on disembarkation morning, it's a hoot!
  3. Thanks Megan, I'll let DH know. Every time we go it's a bit higher, think we paid 442 for the case two months ago.
  4. @MeganGC1983 if you don't mind, I'm interested to see what the current price for Hennessy White is for the 6 bottle package. SG posted a list of the current liquor bottles on board, and it looks like the Henney White is $79 a bottle or so now!! So, I guess I'm really AFRAID to know what the case price is.
  5. Just board as usual, and then inform Guest Services that the 3rd guest won't be boarding. The refund for the port fees and taxes will be refunded to the original form of purchase. Just did this for a cabin for two that ended up being a solo. No questions asked, just thanked me for letting them know.
  6. Well, folks, I'll be back a bit later (hopefully tonight) to finish up the last day of the cruise. It got pretty hectic and crazy on Monday going back to work, and I've been non-stop since then. I'll also upload my camera pics including the video I made of the Ocean Suite. Sorry for the delay.
  7. So sorry to hear this. Happened to us for our January cruise, tested positive 3 days out. Carnival was very helpful in getting us rescheduled and refunding prior purchases. Hope he keeps having a mild case. Mine felt like a normal cold and was gone in a couple of days.
  8. @CC Help Jenn Just tagging you to my live review. Looking for my 'rare' tag if possible. Thanks, have a great day!!
  9. I do know after the casino, DH went to the cabin to sleep, and I checked out the Piano Bar for the first time. Alejandro was performing, and it was pretty full, but there were random seats if you don't mind sitting with other people. I did find a spot along the rail, and put in a request for Tiny Dancer and Jessie's Girl. Alejandro did OK, but the energy was not as jumping as I have experienced in other shows, and I had a lot of other items to check out that night, so I only stayed a bit. Maybe I'll give it a try again tonight. I think that's all the stuff from yesterday. In our cabin was a small bag of cookies, "Sweets for our Suite guests". Did I mention that we're in a suite for the first time ever? I think I did! 😂 Anyhow, I'm off to maybe grab a snack and then go to my Fire & Ice pedicure. I'll be back later with another report.
  10. Probably, I know that a lot of people really miss the Quest show. We'll see, I'll check it out on our July cruise and see what it is then. Tonight they are having an event at 10pm in the limelight lounge titled "Throwback Hour with Your Fun Squad Host" - Description: "Talk about a blast from the past! Dance our heart out with the bet music from yesteryear in this groovy throwback set"
  11. Geez, I'm really getting stuff out of order. Sorry it's so disjointed. Let's see, after Soulbound, we went to the casino to play some more cards. DH played some blackjack, and I played some Let It Ride. I won some, lost some, but we all had a good time. I always play the 3-card spot, because I believe it's easier to make that hand than the 5-card hand. I always put out a $1 bet for the dealer every time on that spot also, so if I win, they win. I may win or lose in the end, but they always win, and really appreciate the tips. I got a couple of straights, and some triplets, and I think the dealer ended up dropping over $100 into the tip jar when their shift was over. After a while I went and played with my DH on his table, he was up quite a bit. His dealer was making BANK though, because DH puts a $5 bet out for the dealer on each hand. Believe me, that gets a lot of attention from the Casino Boss and Host. In fact we had a nice conversation with Karisma the Casino Host, and she offered us any perk we wanted, as a thank you. We already had enough wine, and were still full from the Steakhouse on the first night, so I asked about a pedicure from the spa. Karisma said she'd call down and get an appt for me, so stop by later in the night and she'd let me know. Between Adult Game night and the Comedy show, I found here and got my appt time of 1pm today. Woo-hoo, pretty toes for me.
  12. I think I found the reason for it. but not sure if it is confined to the 3-night cruises or not. Perhaps @csm5986142 who's getting on the ship Monday can find out. On Saturday and Sunday, there is only 1 set of comedy shows in the Limelight lounge, the PG shows. The 18+ shows are held in the main show lounge, combined into one show that starts at 10:45. It was a welcome change, because we were unable to get into the 10pm shows the first night because it was already too crowded. Last night at 10pm in the Limelight lounge they had something called Adult Game Night. I was curious about what that was going to be, so I went to it after the casino. They were absolutely checking IDs at the door (well, not for this 62 year old, I just smirked at him when I asked if he needed to see my ID). It was standing room only there. and was a pretty wild setup. The had DJ11 set up spinning some tunes, while they were getting everything set up. After obligatory screening of the audience, (If you are under 18, Get the $%$% out, if you are easily offended, GTFO, ) etc. The cruise director, Gabe, said he was the one to talk Carnival into trying this so it was important that what happened in Adult Game night stayed in Adult Game night, don't go posting it on Insta, etc. Then it went into basically team trivia, with very dirty team names, and very dirty questions. It was pretty wild, and there's nothing wrong with that. I decided to leave after a while because I needed to stop by to see the casino host before going into the late comedy show.
  13. The show was very good. Different main singers from the last time we were here in April, and the full cast this time. I think Covid had a major effect the last time. Ir was very well done, we thought, and we sat on the floor this time right near one of the smaller stages, so we had singers coming alongside us and stepping on the small stage to sing their parts. The costuming and make-up was very well done. There were some new special effects. and we enjoyed it. Just realized we went directly into dinner, and I forgot to note that we ate dinner the MDR this time. I woke DH from his nap, at about 5:45 and told him to get dressed. I checked us in for a table for 2 and it only took about 10-15 minutes to get a table. We were up on the 4th deck of the dining room, right along the balcony observing the lower level. We had Joseph and Michael this time, and got excellent service again. They located DH's pre-arranged dinner order, and I put in mine. I opted just for.a Cesar salad and the Garlic Shrimps Dinner, and the Coffee cake. How am I still full from the Steakhouse the night before?? We brought our bottle of wine we brought onboard to enjoy with dinner, and I took the 50th Anniversary travel wine glass with me filled with my concoction from the room. Out dinner came out quickly, and and we were able to get out of there before Showtime started. We needed to hustle from the back of the ship (Sunset Dining room where YTD happens) to the front of the ship where the show lounge is. I already knew we could take the outside boardwalk on deck 4 all the way, and not have to navigate the crowds on Deck 5 making the trek. There are doors on both sides just outside the dining room that you jut push open, and the walk leisure down the row of lifeboats, waving to the cameras down there and hiding a couple of ducks along the way. That's how we ended up on Deck 4 for the show.
