sorry I meant we walked right through the birth certificate line without any delays.

I just got off the breeze on Monday. We walked right through the passport line without any delays. No faster or slower than those with passports.

I didn't order alcohol but I took both of our cards to several bars for bottled water and to the Java Blue for coffee. Each time i would sign both slips. We had cheers. Since they allow you to order buckets of beer I believe you can order 2 drinks at one time if you don't have cheers.

That about sums up my cruise. Cruising the grand kids was fun, but I missed out on all of the activities that I normally do on a cruise. I did gamble but only a couple of hours on 2 of the days. My DW didn't gamble at all. Looking forward to my October Vista cruise without kids.

Passports are not easy to get anymore. Most people have to take a day off work. Also, here is Texas most passport offices are completely booked out 2 to 3 months in advance for appointments. My son had to drive to a small town about 80 miles from where he lives in order to get an appointment. I just got off a cruise in Galveston and the birth certificate line was super quick.

Disembarking was a nightmare though. I would estimate that 80% of the passengers carried off their own luggage and didn't follow the instructions. The line was an hour long when they had only called 2 muster stations A3 and A4. I will stick to 7 day cruises from now on.

My SIL has been on multiple cruises with us and hasn't had any issues with her DL name vs her BC.

I attended for the first time on the Breeze this past weekend. We purchased 3 cards for $50. They play 2 games. The cards are good for both. On the first game, I won $30 casino free play. It showed up on my casino account the next day. To win the free play you have to get 3 matches. The second game I won the $25 off of bingo. You only need 2 matches for this. We did not play bingo. If you get 5 matches you win $200. 3 people got the 5 matches. It was a fun and I will probably go again on the next cruise.

Normally, we do not cruise during the summer or when kids are out of school. This cruise reinforced our thoughts. I didn't get the total count for the passengers but I felt the cruise was at capacity. There were lots of children and teenagers on board. I also noticed that most of the passengers were red and blue cards. Guys always had a long line. This was the first cruise that I didn't get a Guys burger. I did not smell any Marijuana on board. We did walk past a drug dog during boarding. I didn't witness any fighting or bad behavior from anyone. The most I saw was teenagers running up the stairs. Service was good from the crew and the food in the MDR was good. Overall, the cruise was great.

My wife and I got a free casino offer. Only way we could afford to take the kids.

They are in person, at your designated muster station. Takes about 5 minutes. We go straight to our muster station when boarding. Super easy. This is one good thing to come out of Covid.

Did you also factor in the rate of the cruise itself. When I have been offered cheers at a discount, the cost of the cruise was higher than If I just booked it and bought cheers.

Thanks. I will report back after the cruise what I see. Normally, I don't see any of the things on my list. I am mostly in the casino and don't hang out on Lido. This cruise will be different as it will be about the kids. My Grands are 8-13 years old, however, I don't like the idea of them being on their own, so my DW and I will be hanging out with them.

I don't play trivia for this reason. Every time I walk by Trivia and will see several people on their phones looking up the answers.

My DW and I are taking 4 grandkids on the 4 day Carnival Breeze cruise leaving Thursday, 6-29. According to the comments I have been reading the last few months we will experience the following: 1. Marijuana smell everywhere on board. 2. Kids running wild and being unruly. 3. Drunks 4. Fighting 5. Inedible food in the MDR 6. Security just watching and not doing anything 7. Bad service from crew

is walking to pixies to get your pin and gift a scavenger hunt these days?? My last several cruises I didn't even pick them up. To me early boarding if I chose and free laundry are good enough perks.

We were in room 5222 and didn't hear anything. Havana is the best way to sail on Carnival.

@Saint Greg good thing you didn't fly home last night or tonight. We are getting crazy storms here with hail. I hope your car is in a covered parking lot. have fun at the game tonight.

My regulars offers include drinks everywhere and free balcony room with some fun play. Why would i book an Ultra offer when I have to pay a discounted room rate and only drinks on us? I have yet to book an Ultra offer because of this.

Thanks for the live review. you get Scherzer pitching tomorrow night. Should be a good game. Since I hate the Yankees I hope the Mets win.

Sorry, for the bad guess. I didn't pick up on the decade younger than Sid clues. If only I saw your picture I could have made a better guess. Please forgive me.

I have never seen the dogs in 19 cruises. They may have been in the ports but I didn't see them. My wife says I am not very observant. I certainly haven't seen them on a ship. I leave for a short 4 day weekend cruise out of Galveston at end of the month. I will be on the lookout. I am expecting lots of kids and lots of partying 20 somethings. I will report back.

Happy Birthday. My guess is 51.

Welcome back home. 98 degrees here today.

We got 5 bags on our 14 day Hawaii cruise in February
