I just added more bandwidth and I am in the process of uploading some more pictures. Hopefully this works and you will be able to see the pictures again

We are currently still booked on the 9-day repositioning cruise on the Dream. Our final payment is due on January 20th but I have until the 19th to make a decision.

 

I would like to do the 7-day cruise on the Liberty because I like the ports and of course Guys Burgers on the Liberty but my dad wants to stay with the Carnival Dream. He likes the fact that it's 9 days.

 

Why do ya ask about the Carnival Liberty cruise? Are you on that cruise??

 

Yup, sure am. :D

Saw you on the roll call. Don't blame your Dad one bit.....longer on a ship the better!

Once we got back to the Puerta Maya pier area. We decided to stop off at Fat Tuesday for a drink and a little snack. We ordered the quesadillas and I had the Banana/Coconut Daiquiri. This is the free t-shirt that we got when we bought the photo CD

 

My dad loves flowers

 

 

Fat Tuesdays

 

I think I was already starting to go into a trance at this point......haha

[wrigley80]

OK there is my first post after purchasing more bandwidth. I can see the pictures and I hope you guys can too. :)

[wrigley80]

 

 

This pic is a little blurry but I love it when the ships are so close like this

 

We had our fun at Fat Tuesday's for an hour or so. By this it was now 7:00 and we were ready to head back to the ship so that we would still have to get cleaned up and then head on to dinner. A lot of people were starting to head back to the ship at this point

[2 cruzen]

No I booked it on my own directly through Dolphin Discovery. The ship doesn't even offer the manatee encounter.....only the dolphins

 

The picture CD was $118 :eek: or the excursion? :confused:

[xplnusa]

They're good again...

I can see them. I like the photo of the two ships as well.

Thank-You. And you are so right the pictures of my dad are so innocent and pure. He was having so much fun.

 

Thanks for the tip about Paradise Beach. We are going back to Cozumel in April on the Carnival Dream. We are trying to decide between Paradise Beach and Mr. Sanchos. I like the all-inclusive option at Mr. Sanchos but I know that my dad and I wouldn't eat and drink enough to cover the cost because we don't drink alcohol. I was looking at the pictures and I love the pool at Paradise Beach. Were there steps to enter the pool??? I know that my dad can't climb a ladder in and out of the pool

 

FYI ... You can just do a la cart at Mr. sanchos. We went there with 8 so it would have been a little spendy for that many.

[wrigley80]

Yup, sure am. :D

Saw you on the roll call. Don't blame your Dad one bit.....longer on a ship the better!

 

Surprisingly the 9-day cruise on the Dream is cheaper than the 7-day cruise on the Liberty but the idea of going back to Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk is very tempting.

 

My dad doesn't care where we go as long as we are on a cruise :D

[wrigley80]

The picture CD was $118 :eek: or the excursion? :confused:

 

 

To swim with the manatees was $108.00 (I was given 10% off when I called to book)

 

The photo CD was $118.00.

[wrigley80]

They're good again...

 

 

Thank-You. Back in business.

[wrigley80]

I can see them. I like the photo of the two ships as well.

 

 

Thank you for letting me know. I wish the picture wouldn't have been fuzzy but the ships are huge when you look at them like that

[wrigley80]

A friend of mine helped me decide to go to Paradise Beach. I like the pool at Paradise and that's exactly what we want. A relaxing day by the pool.....

I will be back on later tonight to buy some more bandwidth so that I can continue on with my review. I guess I am including too many pictures.....hehe.

 

I have had an exciting day. I went for a job interview today to be a travel agent and I was hired on the spot. I guess I made a good first impression.

I really think you could convince me to buy a time share in federal prison :D

Remember us poor relatives when you get rich and move to Key West LOL Seriously, I can't imagine a better person for that job. Congratulations!

[seguincruiser]

Congrads on your new job! I'm beginning to think of a cruise for March 2015 with DH and I, or a family cruise Oct 2015. I'm thinking I want to try a new line and so far really like NCL for a Haven suite or maybe a Princess cruise. Once you get settled I'll email you with my info and maybe we can do some business. I won't be able to book until June after getting whole family together to discuss options. Good luck on your new job!

[oneboysmom]

Will you work for Canadians!! I actually fly out of the us a lot, as its much cheaper than TO. Hope your weather is better now too. We are finally warming up here. Love your pics of the manatees, am seriously considering that, they are so cute...however, buying the cd is a little pricey for me. Can you buy single pics or is it just 1 package?

Thanks Becky!

Haha you just made my day with that comment :D I would negotiate so that you could have a cell with a window.

 

Thank-You so Much. I am pretty excited about it

I will know more on Monday if we can reservations for Canadians. Yeah our weather is better now. Today it is a high of 37 degrees and we are supposed to get a half inch of rain which means flooding. Gotta love Illinois weather.

 

You can buy individual pictures with the manatees. I believe they were $32.00 for a individual print. One other thing is they wouldn't take our picture together. My dad asked if we could have a picture of the two of us together and they said that was not possible :rolleyes:

[wrigley80]

My dad made another new friend. We rode in his pedicab back to the ship.

 

When we got back to our room this gift was waiting for us. It was a photo of the ship. It was a gift from the Cruise Director Skip Lyons.

 

I have really never quite understood what this towel animal is and he looks even creepier with no eyes :eek:

[wrigley80]

Well we got our showers and got cleaned up and we headed up to dinner. Dinner this night was relaxed because there weren't too many people in the dining room. I think there were still a lot of people out partying at Fat Tuesdays and Senor Frogs in Cozumel

 

 

 

This was Jerminka. She was a junior hostess in the dining room from Bosnia Herzegovina. My dad fell in love with her :p. She was so nice. We are now friends on FB

 

Flat Iron Steak.....aka Old Faithful for my Dad

 

This was the diet Pumpkin Pie.....don't order this it tasted like wallpaper paste

[wrigley80]

 

I loved the colors in the Imagination Atrium. So pretty

 

Well after dinner and walking around for a bit we were tired so we headed back to the cabin and retired for the night. It was nice to go to bed a little early. I felt so refreshed the next morning and was ready to start our final day onboard. I couldn't believe this cruise was winding down already

 

We went to the MDR today to have the Seaday Brunch

The cost of the CD was $118.00 and with the pedicabs it was just a donation of whatever you wanted to give. We have them $3.00 a piece. It was fun and so worth it.

 

Be sure to come back later I was able to download the manatee pictures from our encounter and I will post them later when I get home

 

Just an FYI...the cost of the manatee/dolphin excursion CD depends on the amount of people...We also did Dolphin Discovery (the dolphin encounter, not the manatee, although we did get to get in the water with a manatee for 15 minutes and feed it lettuce, which was really cool) in Cozumel, and I was expecting to pay around $150 based on another post that I had read before I went. When she told me it was $280 I almost had a heart attack! I asked her about it and she said the cost is based on number of people and pictures. We had 7 people in our group (my family plus my niece and her friend). Crazy expensive, but we knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so we bought it and do not regret it. My kids are 10, 9, and 9, and the looks on their faces is priceless...not to mention the look on my husband's face when he realized that we were doing it with them! Oh, did I forget to mention that to him? Oops!! So much fun!

Loving your review!
