Carnival/MSC live S2S

[sammee]

Great review. I was on Divina last August. My review writing skills are bad so I didn't even attempt one. I agree with most of what you said, except the pizza, lol. I didn't like Carnivals and never bothered with it, but ate it almost every day on Divina. But we're all different. That lightshow they put at night was something else. I actually like the deep pools, except I wasn't paying attention and my first dip, wow. We stayed on the ship, but our balcony gave us a great view. We'll be doing Meraviglia out of Brooklyn next month. And than back to carnival Venezia for Thanksgiving. Now to find something for the summer. We're done sticking with one line. They are all similar and have their goods and bads.

Great day in the casino for our entire table and somehow the entire table and some family members are all abuzz about this "new" drink I turned them onto, Cadillac Margarita.  Which we all know is just an old favorite. Great fun times, I won $1,200 today and two at our table hit straight flushes on the new progressive bets!

Lunch lines at Guys burgers and Carnival deli were ridiculous today because the back-on-board time coincided with closure of all other Lido deck offerings.

Hmm, I wonder if that's new.  I never had to pay for the food truck on OC.

Maybe my mistake,  most were closed and others had long lines, I don't remember my source.

How’s the WiFi service, will be on Conquest in June?

From my reading it is only the seafood food truck near south beach that charges. But everything is subject to change

Really great with the middle package, one of my best internet-at-sea experiences. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Yes it's past 3am and yes I had about 10 Cadillac margaritas, but Carnival pizza once again is great!

If I don't have an excursion,  every Cozumel visit includes a  looonnngg lunch at La Mission.  A mountain of amazing guac for $3, jungle atmosphere,  fantastic free hot salsa and fresh fish for $16. I love this place.

Random views just walking around.

Might have to zoom in.

[IntrepidFromDC]

Like most people I really like the new look.

Yum looks so good. Celebration cruise wasn't planning on a Cozumel excursion except maybe lunch. Haven't ever eaten at any ports yet. This place will definitely hit the spot!

I helped close down the casino all three nights since I was playing with house money,  but gave back $700. Fun times anyway.  Roast beef on Lido looked really good but it was tough and not flavorful enough.  Then I get back to the cabin around 3am and I'm greeted by a BAT.

In the spirit of Epic Rap Battles of History (Obama vs Romney is still my favorite), today we have Guy's Burger Joint vs Carnival Deli. I usually like tomatoes on my burger but not un-fried green tomatoes. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

No winner.

Debarkation info. I'm glad to see the 715am meet time because I have an early flight and MIA has that configuration where I always have to wait for a train to my gate after walking 5 miles and going through security. 

[IntrepidFromDC]

Conquest has much nicer gaming tables than Divina, in the casino. I've never seen these tables with the integrated screens and fake marble before.  Chair comfort is upgraded too.

[IntrepidFromDC]

Regular Lido deck madness on last sunny day of the cruise,  casino has been packed so I look forward to more madness tonight.

I got in late on this one but I'm happy to be here! Great review so far! Love the comparison and the casino action! Keep it rollin' mi amigo!

Was there an admission charge?  I saw prices on the steakhouse menu and wasn't sure if you were charged for shows as well.  TIA!

It was free.

The theme around most of ship is impressionist art period.  I think it's great Carnival style.

Sorry they're upside down

The $5 clam chowder at Seafood Shack was good,  although the little potato balls were more like gnocchi. Broth had really good flavor and the clams had good texture and flavor.
