SS Exeter

Does anyone know if there are video of blackjack tournements on cruise ships. I found Carnival May 2018, but are there any others?

Thanks.

Make sure you go to the special Military/Veterans Salute they do on every Carnival sailing. It is very moving.

And, Thank Mat for his service. Have a wonderful cruise!

The Haven hands down. There are enough choices that you can't get bored. Everything in the Haven Restaurant is better than the other choices. We ate at three of the specialty restaurants and were sorry that we did.

Make sure you say "Hi" to Veronica in the Conquest Casino. She is perhaps the best Casino Host afloat. She will help you with any questions you might have. Tell her Mr. Magic told you to say Hi.

Just off the Vista and this was my 23rd Carnival cruise over the years, and will be my last. I had many issues, the food being one of them. There are no carved meats on Lido anymore for lunch or dinner, but now they offer a baked potato bar in its place :rolleyes:. Seriously??

The fresh made sandwiches at The Deli are rather good. They will change up the listed ingredients if you ask. Hubby loves the pastrami.

Cannot advise you about drink package - but - make sure when you go into the Casino to introduce yourselves to Veronica. She is THE BEST casino host at sea. Tell her Bennett - the Magician told you to give her a kiss from him. I promise this will enhance your fun.

Does anyone have a phone number for Carnival Casino Promotions. We need to speak to someone there ASAP.

Thanks for your help.

I took out a bottle of HAVANA Body Lotion that we have from a cruise last Feb.

The bottle says "Made in China." Distributed by: TY Group, Miami, Fl. USA.

Hope this helps you. I am rather careful with things made in China.

If they are up and zipping by the time you get there - Tree Liming Zip Lines was one of the best things we ever did. I am the biggest wus in the world but I never felt unsafe. They are so very professional. The place is beautiful - it was a mountain top estate that they bought and built for zip lining. One woman in our group screamed thru the whole thing and then said she'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you all so much for your help on this.

I will keep checking to see if an accessible cabin becomes available.

The day we get back from this cruise is the same day these guys left for Viet Nam n 1967 - so it is a very meaningful time for us to cruise.

I want it to be as easy as possible and you have put my mind at ease.:cool:

Have a cruise booked on the NCL Sun in March. We have a regular balcony booked. Problem is hubby uses an electric scooter. I do think we can get it thru the door - but is there any room to keep it in the cabin???

There are only 4 accessible balcony cabin and they are all booked. One week till final payment so I will keep calling to see if anyone cancels.

No one that I have spoken to at NCL - including Access Desk - can tell me if this will work or not......

Friends are going on this cruise so we would love to be able to go but don't know what to do with the scooter.

I know there is no place out of the cabin to leave it.

Any advice would really be appreciated.

If you will be in St. Thomas - cigarettes are about $25 per carton, and if you are American, you can bring back 5 cartons per person from St. Thomas. It is a special economic area.

Not to detract from your question, but as someone with experience with Windows 8 and 10, if I were you, I'd consider options to purchase a computer with Windows 7 and avoid upgrading to Windows 10 as long as possible. I bought a new computer with Windows 8 and then upgraded it for free to Windows 10, and ended up having to roll back the Windows 10 "upgrade" to Windows 8 because most of my software encountered problems trying to work with W10. And W8 was no picnic either. I ended up buying a couple of refurbished computers just to be able to continue to operate with Windows 7. I telework so having a reliable operating system is crucial to me, and I found W8 and W10 to be very unreliable. With them, I found myself constantly trying to find a workaround to accomplish what I needed. The IT people at my work suggested avoiding W8 and W10 as long as possible. I bought 3 "refurbished" computers with Windows 7 (1 desktop and 2 laptops) just to get around the issues with W8 and 10, and have been thrilled with my purchases. I've had them for about a year and a half and have had no issues at all, which is a far cry from the issues I had with 1 computer with W8 upgraded t

 

Just a suggestion.

Winddawn - brilliant thinking about how NOT to have to use windows 10. Perhaps that is why my husbands new computer, with Windows 10, is still in the box. He bought it about three weeks ago. He is still using his old ones. My old one just completely dropped dead. Geeks couldn't revive it. So I am using a new one. Love the new computer - touch screen and all -- but am learning the new system. Many things I just did automatically - now are "How the hell do I do this???" Wish we had a 14 year old kid living with us - they just know all this stuff.

Thanks to all for you feedback - Happy Sailings!:cool:

Arymay - Thank you so much for your very complete answer. Hopefully we can take advantage of a lot of this.:D

Can anyone tell me if there are currently Windows 10 classes on the NA?

We just started using Windows 10 and would love some help.

Thanks so much BostonGal for your thoughts. I love aft cabins, but because it is much smaller than a regular balcony I have to give it up. Just from reading things about the two types of cabins - the aft cabin has a sofa that sleeps one person - the regular balcony cabins have sofas that sleep two people. My main concern - which I did not mention before - is that hubby takes an electric scooter. We can get it thru the door of either cabin - but there is no place to put it in the aft cabin. One of us would have to sleep on it...:rolleyes:. I have switched to a regular balcony. All four accessible balcony cabins are taken - perhaps one will open up - I will keep checking. Cruise is in March and lots can happen between now and then. Happy cruises!

I notice that the aft-facing balcony cabins are about 20 square feet smaller than the regular balcony cabins. How much of a difference does that 20 feet make. Seems like a lot for this size cabin. But we do love the aft-facing. Can anyone with experience help us?

As for us, we love a guarantee. Unless we are getting some other great rate we will do a guarantee. Veranda always. It's like buying a lottery ticket - looking forward to what we win. Never have been disappointed. But then we are on a cruise ship - how fortunate for us.

As to the comments that you get what no one else wants - that is not always true. If there is a cancellation, you might wind up with a very desirable cabin at a much lower cost. And - there is always a chance you'll get a higher grade than what you booked.

I hope you love whatever you get. Enjoy your cruise!:cool:

Thank you all so much for you input. We are now really looking forward to Rudi's. Looking at the wonderful photos made us both hungry!

Happy crusin' to all of you.

We will be on the NA in November. We love the Pinnacle Grill. We loved Le Cirque - but got a bit tired of it. have just made reservations for our first time at Rudi's. I cannot find any recent reviews and would love to know what people thought about this venue.

Thanks so much for all the help we get here on CC

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Matt Mitchem as your CD, you will understand what a Great CD can do.

His tribute to our Veterans is one of the most moving and worthwhile experience one can have. His obvious joy at doing what he does is infectious and his announcements are a pleasure to listen to. Doesn't hurt that he is very easy on the eyes!:cool:

Priority boarding.

Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the help.

I thought perhaps they were being somewhat hidden for security reasons or something.

Rather see a beautiful Blue hull - that I would be getting aboard!

I just read that there are two Japanese Warships visiting Port Everglades. They are on a multi-city tour of the US.

I do not see them on the Port Everglades webcam, nor on the Fort Lauderdale webcam.

Anyone know if they are there - or hiding???:cool:

I have recently started a collection of these bracelets, has any of you bought these from the western Caribbean? Curious what they looked like and what their cost is.

Same bracelets - same prices. Perhaps one that is island specific.

I was surprised that they were the same price as if you bought directly or from Nordstroms or someplace in the US.

Have a great cruise!
