I believe you set a pretty high bar.

Finally. I caught one of these Live reviews early. Naturally, I'm following.

The cold weather forecast for Sunday-Monday-Tuesday next week made its way to DFW. There is talk of snow showers and temps as low as single digits and highs in the 20's. That's just nasty. I can only listen to Reed scream for so long when there's a tornado on the ground. I follow him on X, as his forecasts are very accurate.

Like others, I checked earlier today and this review had not yet started. Now it’s already on page 8. I’m definitely following, and hopefully @sid_9169 has his own live review. I think I need to buy extra LiquidIV this weekend as my liver will take a beating just reading how many adult beverages will be consumed amongst all of the gang. (I really did take a quick peak at the Carnival website a few times over the past couple of months in the event of an opening for this epic event, but it wasn’t to be.)

Like you, I got more than a few drinks on both sides of the wall at 820. There were very few times that the outside bar wasn’t open.

Our room was right next to these aft elevators on the starboard side. We really didn’t have much of a problem. Isn’t that just downright freakin’ rude? I might have to play golf next Thursday and work Friday based on that forecast. It’s normally a day off on Fridays.

Gotta say - I got quite a few drinks at this bar in June. My wife WAS a smoker on that cruise, and as you know, the smoking section was just beyond that bar. I walked by there frequently when she was socializing and smoking.

Either those drinks all day are very weak or you’re both done for the rest of the cruise. I think my liver just took a hit by simply looking at all of the drinks.

I have a screenshot from Coach Cruise’s video on our embarkation night in June of my wife and I sitting in the chairs right in front of the guy with the gray shorts walking on the carpet.

Dexter was there when I was on the Celebration in June.

Nor can we list some of the other song titles.

I think I still have an album of theirs from back in the day. I wore out their “SMU Sorority B*@$#.” IYKYK

Those were our go-to seats and bar on the Celebration in June.

Just went to YouTube and tried to watch Coach Cruise’s video of the diamond lounge. Unfortunately the picture was so horrible that you couldn’t really see much. It was like trying to take a video with the old dial-up.

Coach Cruise was on my Celebration cruise at the end of June that was delayed due to the boat crash near the port. I was in his videos at least 5 times that I counted.

I can post a screenshot. Your chariot awaits.

At this point, you use those tags as entertainment value, as they never appear to be correct. Enjoy the cruise!

Well, EFF, on the news that Maria is gone now. I could have sworn that she told me in June that she was to be on the Celebration through January.

For sure I’m following this one. I’ll have to remember to ask you to say hello to Maria if she’s still at the Alchemy Bar. She was GREAT when we were on the Celebration in June.

My wife and I hung out at Big Bastards when we stopped in St. Maarten in June. We enjoyed the place. Good service. The owners are from Canada (Calgary if I'm not mistaken). Of course, me being a lifelong hockey fan, we talked hockey.

I have to say, this was one of the most entertaining reviews between here and that other place.

Tug boat is pulling your ship in. Just passed the Dream.

Galveston webcam just now.

Time to ease back on the alcohol intake?

I’m glad you shared the info on the shirts. I usually buy one or two before each cruise, and will check on the selections on these websites. Here are a few of my latest. I choose to go for the loud colors.
