  1. I have come to the conclusion that the buffet and MDR food is cooked primarily low salt, which makes sense when you consider a majority of the passengers ages (and sizes). Most restaurants cheat by over seasoning (salt), but I believe the lack of salt in many of the foods onboard is what makes them flat or bland. Exceptions are the lido lunch options. I don't suggest going crazy with any salt, but a tiny bit wakes the food up some. Maybe bring some finishing salt with you to sprinkle instead of the standard table salt. Will improve your dining experiences quite a bit, IMO.
  2. LOL Mr Karen was arguing with a slot tech that a slot machine is broken because no one has hit the jackpot, and he "put $300 into it last night and didn't win anything," and they should just shut it down because it's just ripping people off. and he said.....not kidding..... "I gamble a lot, so I know" Only thing missing was an angry "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Door to balcony has a good whistle to it now. Sometimes a whistle, sometimes an angry kat.
  3. HELLO! Midday check in Well, we're out of small bottles of water, only liter size and if you can believe it, some people are actually complaining about it.... From the FB group page (now locked) "Well another blunder by this ship they are out of bottled water. They only have the large bottles left its an inconvenience we shouldn't have to put up with. It's just another issue that thos ship is not ready to carry the carnival name." I mean, c'mon....Big baby Then we have this... That's what happens when you have a ton of diamonds and plats and a long azz cruise. Casino offered me a 2nd night at steakhouse, but no wine....LOL Maybe because I got two bottles last time...LOL I am losing my mojo in the casino and dying a slow death. This morning I realized the ugly fans on the ceiling in MDR, some actually have a purpose, ventilation. Heading at 45º into a direct headwind Little bumpy today
  4. No. They will not fill your cup. You must transfer. On Q1, I think not, but you can get a drink and water at same time
  5. Time for....STAIRWAY ART!! First up, the forward stairs....This is supposed to be top down....Deck 10 to 1 Nope....deck 1 to 10....going upward
  6. AWESOME!! Good job You win.....Free Ice on your next cruise! Just ask the bartender
  7. This is about all Cherry on Top is. Bonus question - Do you know what a "Curly Wurly" bar is? Do you know/remember what it was in the USA many many years ago?
  8. Cover is still closed over pool area. I must now assume this will be through the rest of our trip.
  9. If we're going to discuss food for the moment, I'd like to mention my displeasure at the lack of late night snacks, particularly lack of sweet snacks. Don't need a midnight buffet or chocolate extravaganza, but it'd be nice if there was a place on lido with the little cakes and such they have at dinner time. Even cookies, just something. Only choice after about 10pm is pizza
  10. Earnings didn't meet expectations, not because too many people don't ask customer service or have their FREE GIFTS delivered on a silver platter.
  11. MENU DUMP Went back in the app, day 1 to Papeete for menus for you all Knowing how photo uploading has gone so far, I can hope they stay in order, but I don't have high hopes. You may have to do some piecing together I
  12. Also thought last night that maybe they closed that pool cover/roof to level out the humidity and try to reduce some of the condensation issues. It's been a very visible issue.
  13. Unless a total food snob or a food critic, how good it is can be somewhat objective. I thought the lasagna the other night was odd. Too much meat, little cheese, so it just tasted mostly like a lot of burger with a little sauce and cheese and their odd béchamel Others loved it It's all "edible," just it's not high quality or in many instances, authentic.
