Would explain some folks tastes in foods

Think of a menu for 4-8 year olds. "Chicken" bits Sandwiches cookies Makes ok drunk food.I found myself ordering room service. Charge me the $8 please.

Every off site place I looked at has lots of busted car windows in the reviews.

😁

Sounds like you got the bulk of it. 2 days earlier check in, you'll have a priority line and potentially lounge depending on the port. Your family that is travelling with you should be able to board with you, not 100% on that though. I'm sure someone else here will fill that in!

We always buy the drink package, regardless of casino offer etc..we never get the Elite offer which includes drinks on us everywhere. You can always ask the host to comp a bottle or specialty dining. Have also gotten gratis trips to cherry on top, etc.

Plenty of info on cruise sites to plan accordingly. Few boats with automatic weapons could take hostages, loot the ship, including the casino. Would be a nightmare. Highly unlikely but, people claiming it can't be done are naïve to how the real world works.

I agree with this to an extent but, we were just on an itinerary we've done a ton of times and elected to not get off the ship. It was basically an all inclusive (outside of CHEERS! and specialty dining) on a boat. Had balconies at all inclusives and while normally larger, it just doesn't hit the same as a balcony on a cruise to me.

Don't forget to call your Dad!

Thanks for the Live Sid, if it's your last we'll be sad but glad to have lived it with you. Looking forward to those books!

Gotta get a Sakura there.

Can't believe this is still going. I for one miss the boobie deck.🤣

Agreed But, Miami wins for me though only ever left from the three East Coast FL Ports. They're all unique. Miami has South Beach and the skyline, Canveral has the space stuff, and Jax has the bridge that limits the size of ships that can sail from there.

Sea Day Brunch has had such horrid service the last couple cruises I'd skip it anyway. Sad, used to be one of our favorites.

Wow that's crazy! Stalking the atrium next time! 🤣

Bought 2 with Rum Punch or something (Fun Ship?) boarding last Month on the Conquest. ~$18 per.

Saw no dogs at the disaster that was the 11/19 Conquest boarding. The free for all must have allowed the drug smugglers to run amok. Smelled pot all over the ship.

The traffic wasn't Carnival's fault. There were just too many ships coming in and out for me that day. Won't do that again. The issues at the terminal...those are squarely on CCL.

Have to give it up to the passengers from this cruise. When we showed up to the port, it was a MESS. It's likely the last sailing for us out of Port Miami for a while. Everyone it seemed showed up at the same time, along with 5 other boats in port. The passengers from the previous cruise were still debarking until almost 4pm. They didn't start to allow people in the terminal until then. There was no priority, it was just a free for all. There were people falling out due to the heat, considering we were in the Miami sun for a few hours, though it was only 81 degrees and breezy. Carnival started handing out waters as we began to walk inside... There was no fighting, bickering, etc from the couple different crowds of folks we were in during embarkation I was really surprised by humanity for once. Sunset pic from the balcony as soon as we got to the room for or "2:30" boarding time and some of the crowds. No lines, no direction, sent off to the cargo area to turn around and fight back to the terminals as the port was overwhelmed.

Went to the steakhouse on Elegant night on a 5 day on the Conquest last week. Had to cancel dessert as I couldn't eat anymore! We usually do it once a cruise. Worth it to me, your mileage may vary!

Yes, 1130 was the first available slot. Enjoy!

Looks great!

Ahhh the good ol' what does it take to get offers in the casino. Good luck! There's gonna be tons of experts and pontification! Packing for my "Free" cruise now!🤣

The problem is they all still go to the same ports. Think we're going to try Horizon next and do the south route. Real tired of the western Caribbean Our stupid city won't make a crappy fishing village move so we can have a port on the other side of the bridge.
