Is this true?

I only have to buy the package for her if I already have comp casino drinks?  That would be great!!! Excellent compromise.  Can someone confirm this please? 

Not true.😪

Maybe my math is off but if you have DOU in the Casino you can just buy your wife the cheers package once on board which would only be about 500 ish dollars and you can stick to your guns and just drink in the casino while she enjoys her drinks anywhere.

Not if they are staying in the same cabin. It's all or none on Carnival.

The burgers taste the same to me. They don't have as many toppings at the toppings bar.  The fries are different which has a lot of people upset, but I think the new fries are better.

Very cool.  I remember the Carnival Capers!

Well a lot has happened since 2017. That PVP started posting a bunch of political stuff on his page. Then I think he left the company. I started booking my own cruises. Then in 2019 I started using a TA. In 2020 this thing called Covid happened and he did a lot of the legwork on my cancellations/refunds/rebookings. Summer of 2022 he left the company and I’ve bounced around a little bit since then.

 

I've had the same guy for 20 years.  I'm one of the lucky ones. He also lives in Miami and works 24/7.  We've booked 38 cruises with him.  He is one of the few that made it through the covid times.  He is awesome.

Also happy for another "Live". We love Mardi Gras. Cant wait for your thought on Jubilee.

Do people even get off the ship in Victoria on those short night stops? 

People do.  We did not on our cruise that stopped there at night.

I thought about just doing an Oceanview on this one with the weather being very unpredictable. Not sure how much use a balcony will really get. But we usually like to stay up on a higher deck (usually deck 7). So not sure how I'd like being down on Deck 1. 

Do yourself a favor and splurge for a balcony.  You will not regret it...trust me on this one.

What months of the Alaska cruising season did sail that you saw all of that wildlife? My 9 year is dying to see Whales! And any other wild animal life we may come across! We cruised out of Charleston, SC last fall and there were dolphins everywhere in the harbor. She was in HEAVEN! But now she thinks there's always wild sea life hanging out next to the cruiseship! 😆

We did an excursion with Eagle Wing Tours out of Victoria British Columbia on our last Alaska cruise during early September.  We saw many, many whales. Very close.  Also saw Orcas.  Out of 38 cruises and many shore excursions this was by far the best one we've ever done.  Booked privately, not through the ship.

Very true. We had much better temps in my May Alaska cruise than we did in my August/September Alaska cruise.

Same.  We hit 81 degrees in Juneau during the first week of June on our first one. 

Bring it!

It was a boat off of Cuba.  My son and his girlfriend are onboard and sent this photo.

Same thing happened to us on the Magic one time.  We stayed with them until USCG arrived. Slowed us down a little, but Capt. made up time after that!

Love the Dream

But you had fun, right? 😃

Absolutely!

On the Spirit they just may give you the cash. 😎

Liberty was still giving cash as of 2 months ago.  If I had any sense I would have left it in my pocket, but nope....onto the blackjack table it went! 🤣

We have sailed both within the past year.  Definitely prefer Freedom to Vista.  Vista felt very crowded. Vista does have Ji Ji's and a Red Frog Pub, but we are just fine with the MDR, Steakhouse and Alchemy!

Thanks for reading! I first stopped at South of the Border in 1973 while heading down to Fort Lauderdale for Spring break. It was a dump then! 😁

Once a dump.....🤣

I love those chocolate shakes!

I wonder what all the issues are??? 

I wonder that same thing....on every cruise I take!

Thanks for the journey!  We love the hump balconies on the MG!

We love all of the Spirit class ships! 

Liberty is our favorite " short weekend getaway cruise".  We've sailed her 6 or 7 times. Try one of the aft-wrap balcony cabins next time.  I think they are only on deck 6 and 7.  You won't regret it!
