  1. It's actually on the Promenade deck. We have stayed here twice. BEST cabin location ever if you like the Alchemy Bar! 😜
  2. We love the Elation. Have not sailed her for a few years but that's all about to change in 2024!
  3. I had forgotten about the doc dance! I used to love getting that package in the mail!!😀
  4. Me too. We're going in December. Talked to my PVP yesterday and he couldn't find anything yet. He said we should know what the dry dock will consist of by September. Fingers crossed.
  5. Waking up a dead thread.....2023 dry-dock is coming up in 2 months but I can't find any information on details. Has anyone found out what the plans are for this upcoming Paradise dry-dock? As the only ship without Alchemy, you would have to think this at the top of the list?? Please!!😆
  6. Do yourself a favor and book the Bonsai Teppanyaki. It was the best meal we had on the Mardi Gras.
  7. If you are not big drinkers it is probably not worth it for you.
  8. I believe the earliest check in time in 10:00-10:30.
  9. Good answer. I have hired employees who had vacations, family matters, etc. scheduled before they applied and I always honored them. People have lives in addition to jobs. If they don't let you take your pre-planned vacation you might not enjoy working there. 🤷‍♂️
  10. When it first came out it sucked. We used it last month on Mardi Gras and it worked very well. Apparently they have improved it's reliability over time.
  11. 36 Carnival cruises on 20 different ships ( 7 of which are no longer in service). Every single cruise starts with a Funship, without exception! At least one soft serve cone gets consumed every day. We play blackjack on every cruise. Won the tournament once and DW and I each finished 2nd place once. Sure wish they'd bring the tournaments back. Sailed on one of the very last cruises prior to Covid hitting, and one of the very first one's after the restart. Cruising with a mask on SUCKED!! Spirit Class is our favorite. Love the water slides, but don't partake every cruise. Have ridden BOLT twice! Super fun, but a very short ride. Almost always eat dinner in the MDR or specialty restaurant. Had Lido buffet for dinner just a handful of times. (Too tired or too drunk to get dressed for the MDR 🤣)
  12. Layers is great advice. We were in Juneau in June one year and it was 85 degrees. People were in shorts and bathing suits. Two days later we were in Ketchikan and it was about 65 degrees and raining. The locals did say that 85 in June was highly unusual...but you never know.
  13. It's not just the port...the entire city is a mess!
  14. We had Zora on Freedom a few months back. She's awesome!
  15. Those were the days! Used to love that late-night Mexican buffet on the lido. Now its hard to find a snack after 11:00pm. I also no longer close down the casino at 3-4am like the old days. I'm lucky to be up past midnight.
  16. That's what I was thinking. A white russian should be stirred, not shaken. Looks like they shook the hell out of it!
  17. Tablecloths in the MDR and mints on my pillow every night🤣
  18. 100% nailed it!!! It is the decline of the American family and discipline, etc. I see it everywhere, not just cruise ships....but don't get me started either!😡
  19. Spent half of last week in this pool. Definitely ladders, not stairs to get into the pool itself. THe steps only get you into about 3-4" of water!
