Vista July 14 cruise review.

Love the idea of the brewery tour / demo - but don't drink beer. Is there an option to just tour?

 

 

 

(And thanks for the review! Truly enjoying!)

Oh I don’t drink beer either. The guys do. I just went along to take photos.

Dear Mrs. Carol Jones,

 

Thank you Maam.

 

You really had the best Cabin Service in T&C..!

 

On that Seat of Government Island did you see a lot of Conch too now?

 

 

We saw lots of donkeys..... they were everywhere.

When we were in Cockburn town. My son did buy some conch fritters while I was shopping. He said the ones in the red frog pub were much better.

Grand Turk fun times.

I believe I read you got one of the Cruise the Vineyards packages. Do you have a pic of the wine listings in the different packages and the different prices?

We went to the show tonight “Amor Cubano”. We got there about 15 minutes early to get a seat. There were plenty of seats even after it started. We all really enjoyed it. Great singing and dancing and I was really glad to see there was an actual live band accompanying them. I think there were 8 or so musicians (percussion, keyboards and horns).

I’m not wild about how they did the Liquid lounge. There are no tables to put your drinks. I think you have to use that little round thing that is clipped onto the arm of the chair. You can see in the photo. It’s kind of awkward because it almost ends up being behind you.

We actually found seats for the comedy show tonight and only had to get there 15 minutes early. We saw Steven Michael Quezada again. He was so funny! Probably the funniest comedian I’ve seen on a cruise ship. My normal go to cocktails are: whiskey sour, margarita or lime daiquiri but bar service was really pushing the Punchliner so I went with that. First, I made sure it was a sour drink. It was and I was pleased with it. Here is the bar menu for the Punchliner our club.

Tomorrow is La Romana...

Following. We did this itinerary in March 2017 & it was our best cruise ever.

Great review. It sounds like a fantastic vacation. I am dying to do this itinerary!

Hi Carol, Thanks for your review and I’m so glad that you are enjoying your trip. Where do you recommend sitting in the Liquid Lounge for the best view? TIA

Tuesday, LaRamona- Today we had a Saona trip with Seavis tours. I’ll post more on this on the “ports of call page”. Basically, a speed boat ride to a private island with lunch and snorkeling. Had a great time. We had lunch on the island so when I got back on the ship just got some dessert before I went back to the room. They were making salted caramel and passion fruit gelato today. I got the passion fruit but it wasn’t to my liking. I’m sure I would’ve liked the other but it wasn’t ready. Still needing something for my sweet tooth I went over to the sweet spot area of the Lido marketplace. The six layer cakes they have are not only gorgeous to look at and they are very very tasty. Good move Carnival to add these cakes. The desserts they used to have on the Lido deck all just looked good but really did not have a taste at all. These are wonderful!!

Got it! I’m not sure if you’ve gotten the vineyards package with Carnival before. They used to have three packages: value, deluxe and premium. They’ve gotten rid of the deluxe so there really is not much of an option anymore. At first I paid for the value but then when I looked closely at the wine list I was not happy with that so we upgraded to the premium. Hate that they got rid of the middle of the road package.

I’m sorry you might have to look at it sideways that’s the only way it would let me load.

Also if you go to any comedy or main shows - about how long are they? I love comedians and try to see as many as I can but love the other main shows and it's hard to know how to plan if I don't know long the shows are lol!

So both comedy shows I’ve been to -30 minutes and the one we saw in the liquid lounge 45 minutes.

Enjoying your review so far. I definitely want to do the beer tasting on our cruise next year.

My guys thought it was a great deal and have been back a few times for the Red Frog pub beer.
