If possible, could you please post the menus for days 1, 3 and 4.  I am trying to decide which day to schedule the steakhouse??

 

Thanks and have a great rest of your cruise!!!!!

I think you're asking for MDR dinner menus?  I'll see if I can still pull up day 1 and day 3, but here's day 4...

Last night the lentil, pumpkin and chorizo soup was fantastic.  Fried oysters were typical Carnival,  way too much breading and good - not great - oysters. The leg of lamb with actual fresh roasted brussels sprouts was surprisingly very good.

In Nassau we just walked the two main shopping streets and those shopping alleys in between.  These pics are from our deck 6 aft cabin...

With the weather settling down, what's your take on the Aft balcony now?  We're booked into one on Pride in a few weeks, and I'm getting antsy.  For the record, I enjoy it when the ship's a rockin', and if I could pay for the Magic Fingers mattress, I totally would.

Yes the MDR menus.  I apologize that I did not specify!!  Thank you. If you can post day 1 and 3, that would be perfect.  Much appreciated!!!

I am really enjoying your posts - thanks for taking the time to do it!  Would you know, or could you find out if Grey Goose VX Vodka is available at any of the bars on the Pride.  I know pre-covid I was able to get it at the Casino bar on other ships ... someone else had mentioned perhaps Alchemy.  I will be on Pride in 24 days (woohooo!) and am just curious.  I hope you thoroughly enjoy the rest of your cruise!  🙂

The difference between the photo in the elevator and my surf-n-turf plate at David's Steakhouse...

[IntrepidFromDC]

David's was delicious. The stuffed mushrooms and lobster bisque outshined the surf-n-turf but all were great!

It doesn't look like I can access any MDR menu other than tonight's menu on The Hub.  But I haven't given up yet. Here's tonight's MDR menu...

[IntrepidFromDC]

In addition to David's and Bonsai Sushi, there's another pay-restaurant, Seafood Corner. Open from 4pm to 10pm.

Still alot of moderate shuddering off and on. Now that I think of it, there were several posts recently about the ship losing power last cruise and repairs needed to an azipod, or something like that. Daughter got meds at medical center after another round of kneeling before the porcelain god.

Great picture of Atlantis. I was wondering if you got the $25 Platinum perk from the casino. Did you have to ask for it and did you have a choice of chips or card credit for slots?

Bummer your DD has been sick. Is this the first cruise she had trouble?

Thank you for helping me get closer to page 3, my bucket list item. She's feeling a bit better and the azipod issue is only annoying at the back of the ship. We got $25 cash at the cashiers cage and reminded others of the perk.

Tomorrow we'll try sushi.  Low expectations based on prior experience contrasted to the amazing sushi available in DC.

If the azipod is needing repair, is there any issues with reaching top speed?

It would be great if they could fix that before the repoisitioning journeys cruise.

That is my concern also but Azipods usually require dry dock to fix.

My daughter threw up as a result of the aft balcony rock-n-rolling for 2 straight nights. I'm waiting a few days to decide but I don't think I will ever book aft balcony again,  at least not on Pride.

I am on the Pride in an Aft  Vista Suite for Norway.  First time on Carnival and now I am having second thoughts as I am prone to seasickness. When I was on Disney Wonder in an aft cabin, I suffered a little, then got the patch which helped.

The Pride suffers from coming down the coast from Baltimore to the Bahamas.  Once in the Caribbean the motion is very little.  I am unsure how the seas are in Norway though.

According to the bartenders at Alchemy, sports bar and casino bar,  no VX on the ship. I did see at least 5 varieties of Grey Goose though.

Enjoying this. Also, I enjoy that it ISN'T 50 pages.

Freeport was canceled today and the ship feels like it's limping. From our aft balcony the wake no longer looks "even".  In the elevator one cruiser heard one staff say to the other "captain said this was last stop" yesterday after Princess Cays. Just rumor, of course.  Letter to our room said we were skipping Freeport due to high winds at the pier.
