I've been checking daily for Verizon points Carnival gift cards. Instead of "sold out" I now get "OOPS, nothing matches your search criteria, please try again". We can hope that Carnival has a repeat of their last years Fathers Day sale of gift cards. They offered the same deal.

You will probably get lots of replies to stay on the ship in Nassau, although we like it. There is the Queen' s Steps, Fort Fincastle, Whatley Rum tour, the beach and more. We have taken the ferry to Paradise Island and walked to the Cloisters. Do some research on the destination boards, you'll find lots of info. We missed HMC, the winds and current were too strong. In Grand Turk, Margaritaville is right there, but walk left along the beach 15 minutes to Jack's Shack for much cheaper prices, WiFi and a nice beach. Congratulations!

No price drop for Septemer Splendor, I check regularly and ours has gone up. I'm glad for you.

Love reading your reviews and found that special someone.

Nice attention getter! Enjoy your cruise.

We are platinum, used self assist, on 11/28/14 we were able to disembark Liberty at 7:30 a.m. Port Canaveral.

I miss your writings, it would be great if you had time to continue. Or get on another ship and start fresh. Stay happy.

Could it be Shyhova? He was hysterical and very entertaining.

I appreciate the time you are taking to write this honest, candid review. Your writing style doesn't affect the substance of what you are telling us. Try and shrug off the "corrective criticism" and keep on doing what you're doing. We sail October 17, patiently waiting for the rest of what you have to say.

Agree, NCL muesli is very good. I think I saw it once on Carnival, but it wasn't the same. NCL also has amazing pretzel rolls.

True, no camo a allowed.

I like Maureencruiser reviews. After reading her Sunshine review I had to read her other (non Carnival) reviews. She is hysterical, also has great pictures. And I miss Shyhova, wish he would have come back.

For walking around and lunch, we like Cozumel. We always go to Pancho's Backyard. There is a Pancho's on the pier, not that one. The better one is down by DI, inside Los Cinco Soles. Los Cinco Soles is a wonderful shop, beautiful items, cigars, tequila tasting.

Just bring a bottle of lime juice & order a bottle of Triple Sec or Cointreau from Bon Voyage also.

 

Then make real margaritas: 3oz tequila, 2oz Triple Sec or Cointreau, & 1oz lime juice.

 

Tastes much better than any mix.

Yay! Somebody else who knows how to make a REAL Margarita. I hate it when bars add a "splash" of sugar syrup.

On the first week of a B2B a few years ago we had our eye on the carrot cake. On the first day of the second week we got the first piece. Cafe desserts are far superior to MDR, and no comparison to most of the tasteless stuff on lido.

Waiting patiently, Shyhova, please come back.

I have also noticed the watery cheese sauce. I'm thinking that I could get a coffee cup, put some shredded cheese from the salad bar in it, bring it back and mix cheese water in it.

If the cheese water is hot enough it might turn out good. By walking back and forth I may use up about 25 of the 200 fat calories I will be consuming. Lol

And thanks so much for taking the time to do this review. If you talk the way you write, you could be a stand up comedian on Carnival and cruise all the time.

No discount usually, but you do get a $100 OBC for a week long cruise.

Excellent review! I enjoyed a younger woman's perspective. You made me chuckle a few times. We will be on her in October.

Thank you for taking the time to write this candid, up close and personal review. I enjoyed the pictures. The closeness you and your mother share is wonderful. Glad you are well again. I will be watching for your next review.

We saw him six weeks ago on the Legend. His shows were great.

We cached here a few years ago. One was just off the walkway between the shopping area and the beach. It was not difficult to find, but watch out for the biting ants. The other was in the shopping area. Watch out for the many shoppers! Yes, an aerial shot should do it.

This is new to me also. But it reminds of something I read a few months ago on one of these boards about something else hidden on one the Carnival ships. It was placed by a passenger, with a log for future passengers to sign when they found it. Something like letterboxing, but without a stamp, or geocaching without a gps'r. But I can't remember which ship or where!
