cruisin from vegas

I use my AirTags in my luggage..they track on the ship if you have an internet package, which I always buy. With my phone on airplane mode, signed into the internet using a carnival WiFi package 

Solo last week..  Jijis. Steakhouse. Italian and Teppanyaki..  all fabulous experiences 

Exactly one year ago today came home from the Horizon with Covid… very mild or me .. 

Yeah!!  You are back!!  Missed you guys!!

Nope.  2021 on Breeze and 2022 on Horizon..

Yes most are very close together.  However, I travel solo and always ask for one along the railing.  I’m willing to wait if necessary, but never do.  Just ask when you get to the desk, or if they take you to one you don’t like just say no and they will a accommodate  you. The ones along the walls or railings are great.

Was on The Horizon in July.  Loved it except everywhere was HOT!!  Everywhere.  I’m from Vegas and love heat… but this was stifling.  I seen this said repeatedly for years.. 

I was on Horizon in July,  hot hot hot everywhere… and I’m from Vegas, and I like hot!! But,   There were areas completely miserable.  I love the elevators!!  Was just on Radiance and missed them!  Vista class is my favorite class…. Although I like Panorama the best!!

What temperature do you consider to be cold?

Lol!  That’s a good point!  I’ve lived all my life in So. California or Las Vegas. so anything below 70 degrees for me.   It was low 50s most of the time

I'm also from Vegas. My DH and I are boarding this Friday. First time on the Radiance. Was the BBQ place open on embarkation?

Yes !!  That’s when I had it!!

Just off the Radiance this morning (3 day). This was my 4th since the restart, very enjoyable and lovely  ship - the others were  Panorama, Horizon and The Breeze.  I must say I am partial to the Vista class.  This ship is smaller, less venues, less amenities.  She is  older but in good shape since her remodel.  Staff was excellent as usual.. WiFi was the worst I’ve ever experienced on a ship, they did give a lot of refunds.  Ship at full+ capacity.  Weather was clear but cold. Did not get off ship in Ensenada, been there many times.  Holiday weekend sailings are never the best, but the kids were behaved for the most part. I thought the lido deck food was better than the Horizon and the mdr was good as usual.  Nice 3 day break and from my local port (I live in Vegas but from So California).  I’d sail her again, just not on a holiday and when it’s warmer.  Next trip Panorama in July .  Any questions just ask

Of course my next sailing starts 11/25, bummer I do use it.

DCL is a little different, they only required one person in the party to go to the abbreviated version… according to this they are now requiring the whole party.  Carnival has always required everyone to attend.. that’s what I get out of it

Yeah your back!!!   When I heard about the flaming tomato soup being back…. I immediately thought of you!!  Lol.  Can’t wait to follow along and hear especially about HMC..   I’m next just doing a 3 day out of Long Beach (closest port) Thanksgiving weekend.  But still excited. Have a great time!!

I tell them right up front, very politely…. “I’m not at all interested in any products, so I respectfully ask that you don’t bring them up, unless I ask you about something.  Thank you so very much, I really need this massage and to relax without anxiety “. Has never been a problem so far.  

Thank you once again for taking us with you on such a wonderful journey!!   Can’t wait for the next!!

They had the chia seed on Horizon last month, but I don’t see it now?  Bummer

They tried to seat me at a shared table or in someone’s lap every single time on Horizon last month…. Nope!!  I travel solo for a reason…. Wouldn’t accept and said two top by the wall only ..  they accommodated, but it was every single time 

For recent passengers on The Radiance , 3-day, two questions..

1.) What MDR is used for Your Time Dining?

2.) Which playlist show(s) were presented?

Thank you in advance!!

This is the most beautiful sail away ever

I don’t think that’s enough.

I was on Horizon last month…. Worst guys burgers ever.  No veggies, horrible fries, dry cold bun , dry burger.  Went one time in 8 days .  Was still great n Panorama last February - we will see if any better on Radiance in November..  but definitely not the same 

Muster first…. Lunch..  explore until cabins are ready 

Probably not open yet.  I was on that sailing last February..  they weren’t offered until later..  they also added many excursions closer to the sailing.  Just keep watching .  

Absolutely sign up before, they usually all sell out.  You find them under the dining options.  I loved it!!  Did the pasta class on the Panorama (my favorite ship) it was really fun, learned to hand make pasta and it was delicious!!  I wanted to do cupcake one but I had a conflict 

The more I read this review, the more jealous I get…. Lol.  I live in Vegas and I never think of going out of NYC for some reason?  I love this city..  even have friends there.  I just looked at flights and they are definitely less expensive than Miami..  I also travel solo (mostly); thank you for reminding me about this option!!!  Love your review as always, can’t wait for more!!  

I was on the Horizon two weeks ago.  With Stops in Aruba, Bonaire and D.R,   All these ports are Eastern time.  The ship never changed time the whole cruise, ship time matched all the ports.   It was great!!
