 I really think Jiji's should be on the excel class ships instead of Chibang.

YES PLEASE!!

Cool! We board Mardi Gras to Mexico and Honduras on the 27th.  This live will give me something to read! 🤣

The one perk I wish they would change is the free drink at seaday Brunch, it clogs up Brunch with DImond/Plat all wanting there free drink. It would be alivated by making that free drink be good at any bar/any time.

That's funny.  I've done brunch my last 5 or 6 cruises without ordering my "free" drink.

Can't you specify which Tequila you'd like?

Yes you can and i always do!

Sid nailed it.  The only good margarita is made with fresh lime juice.  That stuff in a bottle is sugar water garbage.  But to answer your question it should be Patron IMO.

Toiletry bag on Liberty and Vista recently.

Oh they are going to get you of that ship with or without the app!😜

John just posted on his FB page.  I have never seen that many people rescued.  Coast Guard and others notified.  On their way to Roatan.  

We rescued 16 or 17 on the Magic one time near Cuba.

oh, perhaps it's even closer than I realized. I was basing what I thought on a video from a Youtuber. Before we went I guess I didn't realize it was so close. We had previous been to Nassau like 3-4 times, but like I said on cruises with multiple ports, necessitating longer sails, but dang I didn't know they'd just go in circles all day!

Miami to Bimini is 48 Nautical miles.

When I was younger me and my buddies used to go from Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini fishing all the time.  It only took about an hour to get there!😜

Yay! It's been a while.😜

That sucks!

As we know, taste is subjective. Personally, I wouldn't give you $5 for BT but that's just me. It's nice to have choices.

Not a fan either. I find Woodford better than BT, but I'd take Blanton's over both of them.

I have friends who love it.  I wasn't that impressed. When it comes to food it usually boils down to personal taste.  The lobster I had at Rudi's wasn't as good as the one I had in the MDR on Elegant night.

Even if my DH was standing at the bar, I would grab both receipts and sign them, forging his signature.  I'm his "travel" secretary.😉

We do the same.  Not even a real signature, just a squiggly line.  What an exercise in futility!

Cruising Horizon in May are they still giving shower/toiletry bag as the Platinum / Diamond gift ?

We got toiletry bags on Liberty and Vista in February and March of this year.

 Might try some next week on Mardi Gras if I can find it in any of the bars.

Usually the steakhouse bar has it on most ships.  Vista is the only Alchemy Bar I've seen it at. I saw on CC that Pig and Anchor had it on MG.  Please report back if this is true because we get on her the day you get off!😜

One benefit of the smoke-free casino annex on Carnival is you're more likely to get a drink from a server if you have DOU (and maybe even get it faster).

You would think, but this was not the case on the Vista last month.

What's the difference between Blanton's and my current fav Woodford Reserve?  Smokier? Just curious on what you all think.  Yes, I will try it on my next cruise in September😉

I wouldn't say smokier.  It's just incredibly smooth. Definitely prefer Blantons over Woodford and Buffalo Trace.  I haven't been able to find a bottle on land for the past few years. The only time I get it is on a cruise....which is probably a good thing! 😜

That's amazing

Another confirmation for $18.00.

On Mardi Gras I found the MDR lobster to be better than what i got at Rudi's.🤷‍♂️

I have never been a napper - I have to be absolutely exhausted to take a nap. I wish I could.

I never used to be...but it comes easier with age!🤣
