dan4182 #6 Posted May 4 (edited) In Kona today. The ship’s tenders are shuttling people ashore. We were told to expect 2 hour wait times for the return to the ship this afternoon. Hilo tomorrow, then we start back with a stop in Ensenada. Edited May 4 by dan4182 Delete punctuation mark. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tender, sorry, water shuttle ride was a little bumpy. We did the historical tour which was pretty good. Now sitting at the Paradise Bar & Restaurant across from the tender pier while Patti shops. Probably be on one of the last water shuttles back. 😎 Edited May 5 by Jamman54 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi bobs #15 Posted May 5 I am so looking forward to another epic Jamman review and Mitsugirly will also be having one up as well 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherrys #16 Posted May 5 Is it the new brunch menu or the old? Any loose slots you’ve found? I’ll also be on the ship 6/1 and eagerly awaiting Jamman’s review! How has the blackjack been Jamman? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How has the blackjack been Jamman? Not sure about the sea day brunch menu since we haven't made it there yet. As for blackjack, I'm about even after the first four sea days. The continuous shuffling machines suck as I'm sure you know. 😎 Edited May 5 by Jamman54 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they have them on all tables or just low limit tables? I’ve really only cruised fantasy class ships (with the exception of Victory) and on my recent cruises on Imagination and Inspiration they had the CSMs at the $10 / $6 non super-fun tables only. Hoping that’s the case on Splendor too. Though I wish Carnival (and land casinos) would do away with them completely. I know, I’m dreaming 😆 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the way of the world today. Gives them more hands per hour and takes away card counters. ☹ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, really... we have had a little success in the past on ships, one cruise in particular after hitting up a machine a reviewer had recently mentioned. Though I do prefer to spend my time at a blackjack table. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eaflorida #24 Posted May 5 Question for you: How was the internet and TV as you sailed to Hawaii? I have heard stories from the Splendor that Internet was not working at all, and that the live TV stations were no longer received? Thanks for your reply! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan4182 #25 Posted May 5 There have been periods when the internet (value package) has been very slow or non existent. When we got to the Islands both the television and internet and cell service got markedly better, there was about a 3 day period out in the middle of the Pacific where there was no television or cell service. Satellites don’t need to broadcast to the fish I suppose. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
