Scale says I lost 4.4 lbs since Sunday. I would like to believe that but it is probably not accurate with the movement of the ship. I've logged it with the knowledge it will likely jump later.

Told you the gravity was worse in the Caribbean!!🤣

Yeah the issue is you can't book it now through the site...Trying for Nov MIA trip and not having any luck.

May want to ask here

Plenty of time to renew.  Turnarounds only about 2 weeks.

That must be nice...Mailed mine off Monday...hope to get it by November 19th.

Mine didn't show up until like the week of our cruise in August.

I've never thought as I'm winding down a night of merriment that "wow....I sure could use a bowl of chicken noodle soup right about now".    LOL

Right but I'll crush some nuggies and a meatball sando!

My all-time fave is the Caribbean Manhattan at the Alchemy Bar, although I’m not sure it’s even on the menu still.  It’s my go to pre-dinner drink EVERY night!  I especially LOVE the marinated cherries!

Per Drazen @ Alchemy the cans of cherries they use are like $85! Sooo good though

ABC's

 

 

8-Day Southern Caribbean from Miami, FL

Carnival Horizon

 

Start: Miami > Aruba > Bonaire > Curaçao > End: MiamiView Itinerary

 

Gotta get on one of these...

I like Eastern Caribbean Vs Western, I think we've just done it so many times I'm burnt out and the scenery on the Eastern cruises is much prettier. Anything with the Saints! Kitts, Maarten, John, etc😁

I'm under the impression that gravity is higher in the Caribbean, therefore your scale is affected.

How long will your fans work on a charge?

 

Couldn't tell you exactly, ran for a couple hours at Nachi Cocum

Bought this one recently for Aug cruise. Battery is rechargeable and you can take it with you!

Ambulance in the Dominican... Hope they had trip insurance!

Last month on the Mardi Gras they mostly gave out medallions. Saw very few Ships on sticks sadly

This is why I insist that my family members bring carry-ons only. 

And why I carry a rolling duffle. My sister in law is gonna get it one day.🤣

Seas still showing as rough. Amber Cove would be busy with the Mardi Gras there as well. Enjoy the spa day!

Thanks for the info. We usually watch the show on the TV.  I don't know why, but we can never seem to catch it in person.

Was packed last month on Mardi Gras, get there early if you want a seat.

OBC mainly depends on what offer code you book under. Some are better than others but its not like they pull a dollar amount out of a hat at booking. 

OBC Raffle

Obviously not for weeks...still hope the guy turns up.

I've slept in Serenity. No one said a thing.

That still doesn't solve the issue of where he will sleep.

Plenty of deck chairs or empty venues that can be accessed.

All this trashing of the food, and honestly I never have an issue.  There is always something great available IMO.  If you don't like the steak/lobster - order one of the other 10 options.

Apparently bottomless spiny lobster is required for some folks to enjoy themselves.

Cruisemapper shows rough seas for the Freedom, looks worse approaching Turks and Caicos... Gonna be a rough day or two🤢☹️

Frankly given the performance of the stock over the past 5 years and Carnival's current level of service including the absolutely abysmal food I've experienced on several ships, I'd be embarrassed to admit I own the stock if I were you.

Thank you for your patronage, please keep booking

No probably not. But that still leaves the question of where he would sleep and bathe. They will certainly notice someone who is sleeping in public areas all night or hasn't taken a bath or changed clothes in a week. 

I swear I posted in here earlier....

He could easily shower in the spa, and eat at the buffet for weeks. The issue would become laundry and he couldn't buy $5 T-shirts without a valid Sign n Sail card.

during our cruise, the Cruise Director took a poll of the audience - asking for folks who were married a certain amount of time... 

 

for the newlyweds, he picked the ones married the shortest amount of time (the couple selected had gotten married that very day on Castaway Cay)

 

then he chose the couple that had been married the longest (the couple chosen was married for 68 years!  they also won the game  LOL)

 

and for the one in the middle, he had couples stand up and kiss - and then the audience got to vote on which kiss they liked the best.  The couple that had the loudest cheers got chosen to go on stage.

This is the standard, one of my can't miss things to do on the ship. Soooo funny.

I've never seen lobster at golden corral. I guess I'll have to stick to $5 if I want a 3rd lobster. Sometimes they are extra small. I wouldn't normally get 3, but I have skipped everything else to eat 2. I'd pay $5 if I was still hungry. 

 

The steak I had on carnival I only ordered it once and it was all gristle. It's not like a strip steak i get on rcl. Not sure if a strip steak is the same as your striploin. I will try it again on dream. It cant be worse than what I was served. Carnival wins for lunch as I love fast food. I often get a burger and fries before it closes at 6 pm to get me thru dinner if not a pay restaurant. Hopefully the new menus are better than before. Always food to get by, .. get thru dinner. Carnivals weak spot imo. I wish every ship had a JiJis. 

A striploin is certainly no NY Strip! I'd skip it altogether.
