  1. Loving the review. DH and I sail on Silhouette this Sunday and I cannot wait.

    My sister and I had a very similar experience in Grand Cayman during a Carnival Cruise. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we met our driver and were told that everybody else had cancelled via email through the night as it was supposed to be stormy.... We all looked to the sky and laughed [emoji4].

    We did our Jet Ski tour with Fat Fish Adventures that went to Stingray City, Starfish Point and a snorkelling spot. It was amazing. We each had our own jet ski's. Thankfully our guide had lots of food for us to feed them and I was very happy to have booked this separately from the cruise line as we had a very private experience and were so happy we were not on the crowded boats.

     

    Anxiously awaiting more photos and posts. (ps, double chins are ok [emoji6] )

  2. Try Relax Riesling. In my area it sells between $8-$11 a bottle. It's really fruity and always a hit when I host a party. It is sold in a dark blue bottle.

     

     

     

    If you like super super sweet, then Moscato is a very popular choice. It's too sweet for me but I know people that love it.

     

     

    Yes Relax is a very good one too. Those Germans sure can make some TA sty wine ;)

  3. I really don't know the answer to your question but I have question for you. I'm not a wine drinker, I prefer frozen cocktails but I want to take some wine on my cruise in 10 days. I would like something sweet and fruity. Your suggestions would be awesome as I have already wasted my money on a few bottles that I just don't care for . Thanks :)

     

     

    Wine is so personal but I will give you my 2 cents.... I had never liked wine until I tried a German Riesling. They are normally known for being dry but found one called 'bend in the river'. I buy it from our local liquor store in the German Wines. Very fruity with lime and very sweet.

    Someone else mentioned Moscato, I will try that one.

    And I too normally like the frozen fruity concoctions.

  4. I am assuming the tub is the same size as the Ocean Suites. We were on Glory and yes I was able to have a bubble bath, but it is very narrow. I am 5'6" and approx 190lbs. It was a tight fit for me. But I still enjoyed it for what it was. A chance to relax and soak the body!!

    It has doors, not a curtain, so you cannot sit on the edge of the tub due to the door tracks. Just so you know.

  5. DH has not been on a cruise yet so he does not get anything. I have been on 1 and find that I do not get a lot of emails.

    Do you have your VIPF number set up with your email on your account? I am assuming yes, are there any 'opt out' boxes checked so they don't send you emails?

    That would be what I would check. Perhaps you unchecked a box and he did not? Men tend to not pay attention to those little boxes when signing up for things. That is my experience anyway.

  6. My sister and I went to the dining room twice on our cruise. Albeit the first was for dinner (we had anytime dining) and we wanted more dessert later so we asked if we could come back. It was approx 2 hours later. They had no problem. We ordered another entree to split as well as the Melty Yummy Goodness chocolate cakes.

  7. this looks to be the day of embarkation. but then it lists the casino opened at 7am

    look at the next day.

    Strange because not everything is listed

     

    It was actually from the 1st sea day. Go figure. I checked the next port day and there were no bars listed. :(

     

    All is well. I am sure we will find him a beer if he is that desperate, lol.

  8. I do not see any of the bars listed here :(
