Accckkkk... The salad sounds delicious but I have a seafood allergy. Sounds like I need to stay away from the Tutti salad.:eek:

I just found out a couple of weeks ago that we are going to be one of 5 ships docked at Cozumel in February. I hate crowds. I found out that Nachi Cocom limits their sales to 100 pax. Mr. Sancho's web-site reads that they limit the sales to 200 but I saw several reviews on another site where the reviewers complained that there were way too many people. We decided to reserve with Nachi Cocom. Based on the reviews the beach isn't exceptionally beautiful and the Snorkeling isn't amazing but the service is good, it limits the number of people, it is all inclusive and they have other water sports for an additional fee. I'm hoping it will be fun!

I hear there are new drink packages coming out. does that mean the soda fountain package going. If this is going we will now have to pay 20 dollarsa day for the soda. we don't drink the other drinks available.

Not to worry. The old soda package is still available but with a new name.

Yes, John refers to the beards often. I believe they are the executives or decision makers for Carnival.

Just what I did - and here is what I got based on the list by Kamloops50.

Some might be retaliate to my location.

why use of acronyms make it difficult - and even more for non English speaking.

Too funny! I needed a good giggle. On a serious note, I too had trouble when first coming to the forums and I can't fathom how much more difficult it would be for those that aren't from America. They could solve the issue by handing out MDRs....:D

We sailed on the Carnival Triumph for our first cruise in September. We don't have children so I may have just been oblivious but the other passengers were our favorite part of the cruise. No one overly obnoxious or drunk. The children we encountered onboard looked like they were having fun too. We really enjoyed the cruise experience. The only real negative was that after lurking around the forums my expectations for the service weren't realistic. It was by no means bad service. They did their jobs proficiently. I'll have more realistic expectations for my 2014 RCCI cruises. ;)

Like several of the other posters, I am childless. Most of what the others wrote is true for me as well. I want to add one additional pet peeve and that is children unsupervised at the buffet. If they don't know not to touch the food or sneeze on the food then they should be accompanied by an adult who will get the food for them. Of course, I often see questionable food handling/gathering practices by adults at the buffet as well.:eek:

I'm a little disappointed that they are taking the club away. My best friend, myself and our significant others are on the Feb 5th sailing for our first RCI cruise. I planned to embarrass myself greatly as only a middle aged woman getting jiggy with it can....lol
