GeekyMom Posted December 2, 2008 #54 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Speaking of pink grapes I was on the first cruise of the Miracle out of Tampa. The lights in the dining room were horrible. But it didn't bother my cruise one bit.:DLOL, I loved the pink grapes! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofzeke Posted December 2, 2008 #57 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I went expecting alot of "pepto" and "bubble gum" pink since I had heard so much about it. That and the "pink donuts" had me bracing for the worst. In reality...if I had not heard about "all of the pink" on the boards I probably would not have even noticed it. There are lots of other colors - the lobby also has beautful copper/rust colors which far outweigh the pink - for me. I sailed on the Miracle when the lights in the dining room were still "pepto pink". I read so much about how awful they were on the boards, I couldn't wait to see them. If I hadn't read about them, I doubt if I would have even noticed. Same thing with the Pride. Before our cruise, I read all about all the nude art and the naked mermaids, etc. A few things did stand out, like the statue of David and the lady on a mural going into the dining room (but it really is art.....not porn). But, I doubt I would have noticed it much if not for reading about it before hand. I have enjoyed all 3 of my Carnival ships, but have also read reviews from folks who hated those same ships for whatever reason. To each his/her own. But, I am always amazed at what a big deal some make over decor. It isn't at all important to me, but I realize that it is very important to others. As long as I'm on a ship, I could care less what it looks like......just bring me that Funship Special and get the show on the road! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted December 2, 2008 #58 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Glad to hear that the rotisserie was good. I think I will get a lot of use out of the baked potato's and mac and cheese. Plenty of folks did!!! This was about 2 PM on Saturday, just after embark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrisong1 Posted December 2, 2008 #60 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for posting the pics Mach, it looks really beautiful, the stairwell art was awesome!!! I think the ship looks colorful and fun, but then I'm a big fan of all the ships decors. LOVED the Legend, even Medusas Lair :D. Think it's definitely individual opinion, so hopefully my opinion didn't tick anyone off :p Kelz, so are you saying it looked Shagalicious? or not so much? Oh wait you said you wanted a martini, I concur!!! Happy Sailing, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did an excellent job with the Mojitos, which are pretty labor intensive. The only thing that he COULDN'T produce was a beer... His response to the customer who asked for a Miller Lite - 'This is a martini and wine bar. You need to go up to the Lido Deck.' ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to do to the casino bar - not far at all and easy enough to do- but the wine and martini bar is just that....martini's and wine. But boy oh boy did he make a great carmel apple martini....it had just a tiny bit of butterscotch schnaps in it. Woo-eeee....it was awesome!!! Ken at the Casino bar make a mean "Royal Flush"...according to my sister ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted December 2, 2008 #66 Share Posted December 2, 2008 How was the martini bar? :D We had a group of 9 and the martini bar was a great place to meet for a drink before dinner. It is close to the aft dining room and a nice quiet place to meet and have a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted December 2, 2008 #68 Share Posted December 2, 2008 yes...they do locate it well for before and after dinner drinks.:D By the way... the bar at the Pinnacle builds a KILLER martini. The glass is nearly large enough to swim in and it's almost filled to the brim... 3 + shots of your favorite martini juice... I took that pic after a couple sips...

Nezmo Posted December 2, 2008 #69 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Okay, I guess staying off topic is okay... :D I tried Martinis in several bars on the Conquest. Nothing came close to the ones they served in the Supper Club. In fact, one I had in another bar was undrinkable. If the Splenda has a great martini bar separate from the Pinnacle I think that's great. Now all they need to do is wheel in a new Latin or Country music duo (wearing pink of course) and there's nothing left to want :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Latin music on board that I recall but I did spend a wonderful evening down on the A1A drinking Mojitos and listening to some amazing Latin tunes. Little place called Sangria's, right across the street from the beach. Check it out if you're in the area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
