good morning everyone, first off, we are registered and ready, we board 1230-1pm, tried last night, but would not load, so did this morning.  All is good, be right at lunch time.  Our muster station A5, which is Rosso Theater, on deck 5.  So, that is done

I will be boarding at the same time John. The current long term forecast for Friday Sept. 29 in Manhattan shows 76F with a 40% chance of some am showers but then clearing.🤞

For those of you on FB, John Heald(CCL's Ambassador)just posted this morning some great photos of the Venetian Mask Party onboard the Venezia, and in the comments there is also a one minute video from a recent one. Definitely a unique event that is only on this ship to check out whether you wear a mask or not.

They will both be on two(of the four)elegant nights we will likely have on this cruise. I think the first is Saturday Sept 30 on our first sea day.

Four elegant nights seems a bit excessive.  I only packed three tuxedos. LOL

Actually there will likely be just three, two the first week and one on the second so your safe. LOL! My question would be how many fancy thongs does one bring on a nude cruise?😉

Three elegant nights is more like I would have expected, but I assumed that you had inside information when you posted there would be four.

 

As for the fancy thongs, I only bring five of them.  The trick is to just wear them in the hot tub when they get dirty, and let them air dry.  They'll be good to go again😉

when does the carnival hub come online for our cruise?  I would think, that after the last cruise before ours has sailed on 23 september
