I've seen this happen at the end of some entertainment show when everyone is trying to leave but have no place to go because those who have exited stand right outside blocking all exit points. I think that's what is meant here.

Thank you, that's what I'm saying. Please don't stand in the pathway, if you want to chat move off to the side just don't block the way for others to get by.

So, people are not allowed to stand or chat while on vacation? 4000 people on the ship and they are all suposed to know to stay out of your way?

In the pathway? Stand off to the side and let other people though. Something called common sense.

We had 1206 a port hole and only time we heard the anchor was when we tendered in Grand Cayman but it didn't bother us as we were already up for the day. Last night though you'll hear crew getting the suitcases ready for disembarkment.

Those are ALL wonderful and we all have others we could add, like the servers on the pool deck trying to get your business for the whole cruise, or meeting the cabin steward. This a great post, and it is wonderfully refreshing because each of the things we list as a "little thing" that reminds us where we are and how much fun we can have, I have seen nearly everyone as a complaint in other posts. How sad is that?

 

Thanks for your post, and I agree with every on of the little things you and the others have listed!

Only complaint I have is they make me leave the ship when we get back to home port. :)

Wow you nailed so many... how about...

 

15. That first glimpse of the ship

16. Your first step onboard

 

When driving to the port and you catch sight of the whale tail is always a sight to cause excitement.

 

I know I'm really on vacation once my feet hit the deck and I scream VACATION!

My pet peeve is people who just stand around chatting and not realizing people are trying to get through. Even after politely saying excuse me they still just stand there.

stay away from regency--its bad news now

I work in the Regency area and agree the area is is getting bad and really not much at the mall anymore. You want a Walmart or Target or something like that there are ones much closer to the airport/jaxport.

Right before you get to the port, there should be a place with a bunch of shops. I know there's a Costco there and many other things, I'm almost positive there's a Publix. What I'd say is, if you can, get that the night before so you can take an early shuttle to the port.

Are you thinking of Canaveral? The only Costco in Jacksonville is in St John Town Center which is about 20 miles from the airport.

Perhaps, all depends but it isn't to close to a bar. ;)

All of the Fantasy classes I've been on but in front of the mini golf is always packed.

That's a great first time cruise, but for nos 2, head to the Caribbean. Long Bch has great facilities, embarkation/debarkation was a breeze. Sailaway is a little uneventful from LB. One of my favorite spots on Fantasy class ships is out the back door of the lido buffet on either side of the ship. Enjoy!

My favorite spot on the Fantasy ship also.

He was on the Sunshine in October and is currently on the Sunshine. This is from Johns page........Tommy, at aged 67 Carnival’s longest serving bar employee.

And next April will celebrate his 30th year and indeed his retirement.

I am afraid they would probably destroy them. Not just anyone can make biscuits and gravy right.

 

I was on an NCL cruise and they had biscuits and gravy and they were the worst I have ever eaten.

Don't know about the Breeze but the Sunshine had them when we were on there in October. And Ewwwwww. Tasted like wallpaper paste with onions and VERY little sausage. The biscuits were hockey pucks. I wanted to march into the kitchen and teach them how to make it right.

Thanks for the update! I was able to get 3 more $100 cards. They were sold out for me last week :)

Have you got a email saying when they were shipping yours? I ordered 3 on Sunday and haven't gotten a email yet.

Go to cruise manager, cruise details, click on view cruise documents, and then general information scroll down to invoice and it should tell you.

Most of the stuff on the site I have never seen on the ships. I'm thinking they are exclusive to the site.

My experience as been deck one and two are generally the last to get off the ship when not self disembarking. We've been off as early as 9:30 and as late as 11:00 just depends on a number of things.

Last year they did have a cyber monday sale....I got a guarantee inside cabin for 5 days on the Fascination for under 500 for two this included the port fees and taxes

I to was on this sailing and I felt it to crowded. We didn't get off the ship in Grand Turk just so we could have some time on the Serenity deck before all the places were taken. Also the traffic flow in the Lido buffet wasn't there. People just kind of wandered or stood around making it difficult to get from point A to point B. Other than that I enjoyed the trip but I don't see myself booking on this ship again.

It takes us 5 1/2 hours to get to Miami from Jacksonville going 195

Just off of it last week and I don't remember seeing it on the TV. Either the kisoks, guest services or if you get the HUB app you can check your s&s on your phone.

Just please make sure someone is with her all the time. When a person has dementia taking them out of their normal environment can make the problem worse and they can become a handful. Not sure exactly when, but there was a thread some years back on RCCL about an elderly couple. The wife had dementia and the husband left her on the ship alone. When he returned they were both debarked in Europe. Don't remember all the details, but she apparently left the cabin while he was off the ship and got into some sort of problems.

Here the story http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5640

We went on the Paradise in August. I had fun but as far as the ships I've been on this one is at the bottom of my list. I wasn't that impressed over all with the ship or the entertainment.

I've quit trying. The times they release them I am not able to be at a computer. I've been trying since the first of the year and have yet to snag even one $100 card.

I've given up and trying to get them. They are generally released while I'm at work or asleep for the night.
