Bummer! Hope you can rebook soon!

Used Marvyn's a couple years back and loved it. I just contacted him again to see about booking again when we are back there in a couple of months

The three worst, in no particular order, are

The Ovulation of the Seas

The Consternation of the Seas

The Inhalation of the Seas

I've been on it for about a month and have lost about 15. I've noticed a plateau but I am exercising almost daily and am hoping that is partially because of gained muscle. Unexpected side effect is I feel like I have steady energy with out the afternoon crash I used to get. Good luck everyone! What ever you are doing to improve your health, stick with it!

6410 on LOS. The extra big-balcony cabin, corner aft.

If it can't accommodate a 4th person, is it possible to transfer one of my three reservations to a different new reservation with my dad?

Hello! I am curious if it is possible to add a fourth person on to a reservation. I am traveling with my two sons. My father had expressed some interest in joining us. I've already paid for the cabin and since the three of us are in the cabin together I am assuming a 4th would be allowed as well. Is there a way to tell if 4 are allowed in a room based on the deck plans? If I can add a 4th person would that change my current paid up fare? Anything else I should know about doing this? Thank you and happy sailing!!

My 13 year old son goes to the gym with me sometimes. He uses the machines properly and is respectful of other patrons. I intend on bringing him to gym with me on LOS. I think your son should go to the gym if he wants. Have a great trip!

I don't believe they allow this on rcl. But if I'm wrong, by all means, post pics to prove it!! ;p;p:D:D;)

Today'sactivities include: Ship to Ship combat with Carnival Cruise lines. try yourhand at using a pike, grappling hook or cutlass. See how many Carnival bastardsyou can send to Davy Jones' Locker! Fire a 6 pound cannon directly into thewheel house! And for the kids... hours of fun playing 'powder money'!

This thread is far more funny than the one on the Carnival page. Thanks Royal friends for the laughs!

Cuz the Carnival Cruisers had to be rescued by an MSC ship. So, they're not happy

A few people on fb are losing their minds actually believing it's either a real story or that The Onion is a real news site, sigh.

That is awesome!

(this is, of course, satire. this did not really happen) :'):');p:D

Since some of the major travel sites changed their cruise search format I am unable to search specifically for river cruise lines. Are there any sites that still allow this? Thanks!

(if asking about this isn't allowed, my apologies!)

You may talk o’ gin and beer

When you’re quartered safe out ’ere,

An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot it;

But when it comes to slaughter

You will do your work on water,

An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ’im that’s got it.

Now in Injia’s sunny clime,

Where I used to spend my time

A-servin’ of ’Er Majesty the Queen,

Of all them blackfaced crew

The finest man I knew

Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga Din,

He was ‘Din! Din! Din!

‘You limpin’ lump o’ brick-dust, Gunga Din!

‘Hi! Slippy hitherao

‘Water, get it! Panee lao,

‘You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din.’

The uniform ’e wore

Was nothin’ much before,

An’ rather less than ’arf o’ that be’ind,

For a piece o’ twisty rag

An’ a goatskin water-bag

Was all the field-equipment ’e could find.

When the sweatin’ troop-train lay

In a sidin’ through the day,

Where the ’eat would make your bloomin’ eyebrows crawl,

We shouted ‘Harry By!’

Till our throats were bricky-dry,

Then we wopped ’im ’cause ’e couldn’t serve us all.

It was ‘Din! Din! Din!

‘You ’eathen, where the mischief ’ave you been?

‘You put some juldee in it

‘Or I’ll marrow you this minute

‘If you don’t fill up my helmet, Gunga Din!’

’E would dot an’ carry one

Till the longest day was done;

An’ ’e didn’t seem to know the use o’ fear.

If we charged or broke or cut,

You could bet your bloomin’ nut,

’E’d be waitin’ fifty paces right flank rear.

With ’is mussick on ’is back,

’E would skip with our attack,

An’ watch us till the bugles made 'Retire,’

An’ for all ’is dirty ’ide

’E was white, clear white, inside

When ’e went to tend the wounded under fire!

It was ‘Din! Din! Din!’

With the bullets kickin’ dust-spots on the green.

When the cartridges ran out,

You could hear the front-ranks shout,

‘Hi! ammunition-mules an' Gunga Din!’

I shan’t forgit the night

When I dropped be’ind the fight

With a bullet where my belt-plate should ’a’ been.

I was chokin’ mad with thirst,

An’ the man that spied me first

Was our good old grinnin’, gruntin’ Gunga Din.

’E lifted up my ’ead,

An’ he plugged me where I bled,

An’ ’e guv me ’arf-a-pint o’ water green.

It was crawlin’ and it stunk,

But of all the drinks I’ve drunk,

I’m gratefullest to one from Gunga Din.

It was 'Din! Din! Din!

‘’Ere’s a beggar with a bullet through ’is spleen;

‘’E's chawin’ up the ground,

‘An’ ’e’s kickin’ all around:

‘For Gawd’s sake git the water, Gunga Din!’

’E carried me away

To where a dooli lay,

An’ a bullet come an’ drilled the beggar clean.

’E put me safe inside,

An’ just before ’e died,

'I ’ope you liked your drink,’ sez Gunga Din.

So I’ll meet ’im later on

At the place where ’e is gone—

Where it’s always double drill and no canteen.

’E’ll be squattin’ on the coals

Givin’ drink to poor damned souls,

An’ I’ll get a swig in hell from Gunga Din!

Yes, Din! Din! Din!

You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!

Though I’ve belted you and flayed you,

By the livin’ Gawd that made you,

You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

I'm going to AirBNB route for my pre-cruise stay in October. First time I tried it but for the same price or less as a basic hotel you get an apartment with kitchen, etc. Obviously no shuttle so we'll have to taxi or Uber but I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

I'm tuning in to this discussion, I'm interested in this place as well!

Can you take the Carnival bus if you're cruising on RCCL?

Had a mid ship, low deck balcony cabin on Oasis. Never noticed a thing.

Last one I saw was on NCL Sun on an Alaska cruise in 06. Haven't seen it since. But there was a dessert buffet on Celebrity in 2012.

I think we're taking on water...

 

Don't mean to sound weird, but I think sometimes each parent forgets they don't have to apologize for a divorce (at least I don't think you should have to do that). Just go and have fun. I'm sure the kids will love it.

This is excellent advise. Thank you njmomof2 !!

Appreciate it Lazydayz, good advise!!

I'll be on the Oct 22 cruise of Liberty and I'm really looking forward to as are my kids (DS 10 and DS 13). This will be our first time vacationing as a single parent family since their mom and I split up last year. All of our previous cruises had been the four of us. I am wondering if others have had this experience, what it was like, is there anything to be aware of, etc.? I just want to make sure that we have an amazing time even though it may feel a little different this time. Thank you all so much and have a great week!

thanks!

Huh. This is the first time anyone has mentioned website issues.
