We got a killer deal on the Panorama and 2 stops are Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Been to both for land vacations, no real reason to want to visit so going to stay on the ship. We have a therma spa pass for the week and going to take advantage of that and the pools. Really looking forward to those 2 days!! Haven’t been to Cabo so do have an excursion booked there.

It was the highlight of my trip! I went on NCL in May because I wanted to go to Glacier Bay, but I think Tracey was better. And the reason was the small boat excursion. Without it, it would have been very disappointing. (No idea why the last picture is upside down)

Havana on the Vista was awesome. I’d definitely do an interior, not a balcony. So quiet compared to the CRAZY lido. We just got an offer to upgrade on our Panorama from deck one to Havana for $700, but took the $54 to the lido instead. This was a cheap cruise, so trying to keep it as cheap as we can. The $700 was more then we paid total!!🤣

The sea day brunch is wonderful. It’s a nice relaxing start to the day. Good food, WAY better then the buffet.

I had it, but I don’t gamble much so it was a pain. I would go to the bar and ask a server getting drinks filled and they always helped me out and the bartender would hand me the drink. Always tipped also. Then I would generally leave… lol

Those who laugh last, laugh best. 😉

Now is the time to invest….

Stock was in the $6 range recently, and $9.10 tonight at close. At $100 each cruise credit it was totally worth it to me. Hopefully they don’t cut the benefit.

That pool water looks NASTY. 🤢

Wow, first I heard there was a charge. I guess I’d pay it….once. We rode the gocarts on the NCL Encore a couple times up to Alaska, one time it was just my hubby and I. I kicked his butt! They seemed to give us extra time, since it was a COLD and slow day. That was totally worth it.

I don’t remember what we paid but it was a Havana Cabana on the Vista. Probably just over $2000 total. I wish our past cruise page told what we paid….

We did one on the Breeze and paperwork was sent to us in our stateroom (our steward also knew and talked to us about it) on the process of when to meet to be escorted off the ship and to get our new s&s cards and right back on. It was all VERY civilized and pleasant, with a mimosa and a nice picture of us all. And a nice fruit basket in our room. I did call Carnival before hand and did the linking thingy also, because I was told to here. They did whatever over the phone…..

I watched a video, it will only go to the one floor. It’s a pretty cool system. You might YouTube it.

Guess I’m glad I’m a planner, I already bought my liquor, water, steakhouse, etc for February cruise. But, I’d still buy it all. Carnival has to do what it has to do. Every other business we go to is doing the same, why shouldn’t Carnival?

The 12 hour French toast! hot chocolate! i will be trying suggestions from here in February.

On the Spirit in July they put so much spice seasoning on them my GD and I couldn’t eat them.

Thank you, I don’t want a tour, just want to do it on our own. I’ll check YouTube out.

I already ordered a bottle of Seagrams for our February cruise. I hope they aren’t “out of stock” then. I’ll be checking their store if they say they are. 😂

Ok, thank you!

I knew it wasn’t real far. Sometimes a walk isn’t always an easy walk. I was inquiring if it’s sidewalked, safe, etc.

How far is it to the light house? Is it walkable to get there?

1:5 hours is ridiculous. I remember one cruise where our server just seemed in way over her head. A guy from one of the other tables finally complained to the Maiter D and she sure hurried up then. But I don’t want to sit there for an hour and a half or two hours! There is absolutely no reason, as the food is already prepared, they just have to serve it.

We cruised Spirit in July deck 8 and thankfully never saw any bugs, yuck! Hopefully they fumigated after you vacated the room.

That was the exact b2b we did, 8 day and 6 day. It was FABULOUS! Go for it.

I set up an account on E*Trade, pretty easy to do.
