  1. It amazes me that after a year of sailing only ships from the West Coast, I can be sailing out of Port Canaveral a year later and as I step over the gangway somewhere ahead of me, I hear a crew member call out my name in greeting before I have even laid eyes on them.
  2. We enjoyed his frank opinions over the years and he will be much missed.
  3. If he had started sooner he'd still have his job.
  4. Nope, the glass is empty because the crew does not perform.
  5. That's my point, when we went it wasn't like a good ol' Crew Talent Show Night when they would volunteer to perform. This was just a parade of flags with the CD reciting a scripted Carnival focused spiel.
  6. Seriously though, I do think Carnival asks the crew to do too much at times. Telling an oiler in the engine room after their shift they have to parade around on stage in the main lounge in front of guests, for example.
  7. You used my photos so I have a say, don't I? I didn't think it necessary to spell it out for people and left it to them to read the ingredients and learn. 😉
  8. This is when Carnival pulls crewmembers from their fulltime jobs and puts them on a stage holding the flag of their nation. When you're looking for your second cup of coffee at dinner your server is working there instead of here at your table 🙂
  9. Did you read what I wrote when I posted the photos? " Both versions are frozen dessert products "
  10. The gelato is only served on the Vista Class ships built for the North American market: Vista, Horizon and Panorama.
  11. Both versions are frozen dessert products as shown in these labels. The machines are no longer open 24 hours: opens at 11am and closes at 12am.
  12. Yep, and from the atrium we walk up the curved staircase to deck 4 and check in with the muster station. OP, debark is from deck 3 as well.
  13. You're right about the poor presentation of the colorless plate and foods scooped with an ice cream scoop remind me of my dull high school cafeteria lunches in the 70s.
  14. It really is and when we take the grandkids we all dress nicely before dinner for our family photos with the ship photographer. Then we surprise the kids by letting them know they can change into their comfortable clothes and join everyone at the buffet 🙂
  15. They must be watching their food cost serving that smidgen of Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce 🙂 We prefer our Carnival Turkey Day at the buffet where we can practically taste the bird with our eyes and request dark or white meat or both. The pressed turkey served in the MDR doesn't compare.
  16. We've seen that on the app and we asked about it and the maitre d' said it means "are you willing to sit at a shared table with others (like traditional seating) in order to be seated sooner."
  17. This is true with one exception: the FunFetti cheesecake served on embark day in the lido buffet on some, but not all, Carnival ships has a center layer of real cheesecake that has an exceptional sugary goodness to it. Later in the week, the buffet includes fake "cheesecake" that gelatin has been added to it to cut down on the amount of cream cheese used to save on food cost. We never touch those because the "cheesecake" bounces to the touch and there's never a jiggle to good cheesecake until it lands on the hips 🙂
  18. Can you request a table for 2 using the Hub app or do you mean you walk-in, request and then begin your wait time? Thank you
  19. Sorry you are struggling to find correct information from the food management on board. Every time we have sailed Radiance, 4 so far, there has been a different Executive Chef. Maybe our fifth Chef will know when the Flat Iron Steak is arriving but your story tells me they most likely will not.
  20. Last month John Heald said the Radiance would be serving a Flat Iron Steak which was replacing the tough strip loin steak on the every day section of the MDR menu. From your menu photos it doesn't look like that happened. Thank you for sharing your cruise with us. We sail Radiance October 30th for the fifth time. John Heald Thank you, I can confirm that it will be arriving to that ship before the end of this month. Thank you mate September 21st, 2023
