All I could think of was this...😉🤣

I agree that the lobster can be a little hit and miss in the Steakhouse. DH and I were on Pride this past October and found the lobster to be overcooked and the filet chewy (first night on cruise). Second night (elegant) the MDR lobster was better. I have never ordered the surf and turf for the upcharge in the MDR. Having said all that, our Steakhouse dinner on Freedom this January was one of the best Steakhouse dinners we have ever had, and I had the lobster. Hmmmm, maybe I'll try the MDR upcharge next cruise...let us know how it works out for you if you try it! 😺

Interesting question @angelsfort! I have not chatted with the CD when on a cruise but this would also make me curious about the selection of staff (Alchemy Bar, entertainment, etc.) for the smaller, older ships as opposed to the Excel-type ships. Thanks for bringing this topic up!👍

I bring a laundry zip up bag for underwear/socks/ workout wear when I send it out for laundry. I use it at home so why not on a cruise.

Precious is really the deli person’s name?😳

Your original post was this past Thursday, correct?

Maybe you had the other deli lady? Pirate mentioned there were two at one point.

Someday.....😺

Thems be fightin words!!😉🤣 Everyone in my family likes beets, I'm the only sane one.😸

Take a pic of her and show the Food and Bev manager. Carnival crew work too hard with friendly attitudes to have a bad apple on their ship.

Very nice!! I love the plate presentation! Great review👏

I would check once a month. Have a great cruise!!

I agree, the Rueben we tried on Freedom in Jan 2024 was pretty meh.

There are plantation house tours an hour away from New Orleans. Found this site: https://www.cajunencounters.com/tours/plantations

Purr-fect 😹

I’m kind of a “cat whisperer” as well. When I lived in Cambridge, MA I would walk from my house to the train, and the kitties would hustle out from their bushes by their houses, meowing for a pet. Love my kitties 😻

When on MG, please check out Big Chicken (best chicken sandwiches EVER), Emeril's (Banana Foster Crepes and Muffuletta sandwich sooo good), Street Eatz (selections change daily) and the gelato by the Shawarma station on Lido (selections change as well). Bonsai Teppanyaki is great and a lot of fun (make reservations on your Cruise Manager because they could sell out). Also, when I prepare to post pics on CC from my cell and I see that they are upside down, I remove said photo, go back to camera selection, screenshot the pic and edit so its just the pic and save to camera roll, go back to post and select that pic again and the pic should be right side up. Something I figured out halfway through my Europe cruise LIVE review. Hope you post a review on your MG cruise!!😸

@pirate4me2 we did that excursion!! Awesome time👍😁love the rumosas 🍹

We love walking to Jacks Shack! Get there early for tasty drinks and jerk chicken with a view of the ship👍😁

I haven't seen the Master Mixologist class in a long time. It was a lot of fun. We were invited by an Alchemy mixologist to sign up. I felt like I needed to know a secret handshake😉

I received my Stockholder OBC within a few days with Stockperks.👍

Tell 'em you're a pirate and you are wearing your flag😉🤣🏴‍☠️

Out of 25 cruises, I was surprised once when I found my stateroom didn't have a small refrigerator. We got a bucket of ice everyday. I'm not sure which ship, sorry but probably an older one. We have brought a power strip that doesn't have surge protection and that doesn't seem to be an issue.

Amber Cove is a port on Dominican Republic that Carnival developed. It is not a port with included BBQ lunch like Princess Cay or Half Moon Cay. There is a pool that passengers can access. Activities like the slides and zipline cost extra. We have hung out by the pool (charge for umbrellas I believe) and we have booked excursions away from the pool and shops area.

When we were at Princess Cay last May, I remember an announcement made before the tenders were available stating no beverages being allowed off ship. Maybe Carnival didn’t want you walking off ship with an obvious cocktail in hand. Previous HMC and PC exits I don’t remember that announcement made.
