Have a DOD (drink of the day) and enjoy your cruise. We did the western on the Glory in Feb, had a blast.

hey fellow canuck.. have a great time on your cruise. Get an over the door storage bag to save space. wrap all your wine etc. in bubble wrap and put it in your checked luggage or do like we do.. Rye looks like Canada dry ginger ale..we walk right by security with it everytime( get what I used to do search and seizure I would not let that get by LOL)
After you get this cruise under your belt you will be addicted. We sure are. We are going on our 6th cruise ( 2nd with RCCL)It is the best way to get spoiled for a week or longer..Have a great time , leave a review when you are back ..get ready to be papered..we love Carnival..

Get a MAP of the ship when you board and carry it with you for the first day or so. It'll help a lot!

For dessert in the dining room, try the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake!

Also, you can order as much as you like in the dining room. If you can't decide between the Prime Rib or the Lobster, order both!
