Colorado Cruzer

I have never done it because I don't care for seafood or lamb and the chefs seem to always use those on the menu. Too pricey to not eat it. I do the steakhouse several times instead. Good luck and if you get a different menu, please post.

Thank you. I'll keep checking.

When does FTTF appear in excursions for purchase these days? Our cruise is April 2025 on Liberty out of NOLA. Thx

We're gonna try. The tour operator said he never has any issues with cruise passengers being late. We will see. Weare on the Miracle so about half the passengers as Panorama. I sure hope it all works out!

ok, we have never done that before because we always get off late, thanks!

The private tour I booked with Picacho Adventures decided to move up the tours by 30 minutes on me so I'm wondering if anyone has done this cruise recently and can tell me what time they got to the tender dock? We arrive at 10am according to Carnival's schedule and our tour pick up is all the way over by the Puerto Paraiso mall or the Pancho statue at 11am. I have never tried to get off in Cabo right away so I don't know if we'll make it. Is that enough time to get on a tender boat and get to the mall in a cab, no way we can walk it in that time I think? Thanks for your help!

I like to visit cruise destinations in the winter around Jan or Feb. I really don't like hot humid places so if I go in the winter, the temps are more bearable. Also, less crowded and less kids running around the ship.

How were your MDR experiences last week? And which dining did you have? Curious if the situation has improved since we cruised Panorama in March 2022. We're on the Miracle next weekend so I'm hoping our 1st timers don't have to experience a 2 hour breakfast...lol

I got mine this year during the regular, in person license renewal for Colorado. CO makes you go to the DMV every 10 years or so when they won't allow you to renew online.

The only way you will know is if you don't buy it and add up your bar, soda and coffee expense while onboard. We always buy it, day one we go hard on the party vibe as vacation starts so it pays for about 3 days of cheers "value". 4 cocktails from the alchemy bar and 1 coffee gets us to break even. Have a great trip!

Thank you!

We're on the Miracle for the 12/18 - 12/23 sailing and I"m wondering if there will be any Holiday themed events or deck parties. It's not Christmas week yet for our sailing so was curioius what others have seen or experienced in the past. Thanks!

lol, that 18% on the package price of $52 per person/per day is about $9 per day for tips. Bartenders usually get more than that even for 5 drinks per day. You're only tipping on the current package price, not the actual number of drinks you get. As others have said, it doesn't matter how you want to tip but if someone asks for what we do, i'll let them know.

25% minimum for complicated drinks, 20% is standard for tipping at American food and beverage establishments.

The food quality was pretty bad back in March on Panorama and the poor service and lines for everything were a real bummer for us. We have one more cruise in DEC and nothing booked after that. I think if I want to cruise again, I'll try Celebrity or one of the nicer quailty lines. We usually book a suite so the cruise fare isn't a deal breaker for us, it's the experience once on board that matters to us and Carnival just hasn't been delivering like they did just 5 years ago even. Oh well, plenty of people will stil cruise Carnival and maybe someday the food in the MDR will be edible again and not take 2 hours...lol
