I have been on many cruises (& airplanes) and have NEVER brought my prescription bottles. 

 

My pills are in those daily pill boxes (yes I'm old) and in my carry on. 

Both my wife and I do exactly the same thing. And we've never had a problem.

It was a joke Joe. Cruiseluver said their soup was consistently hot.

Oh, ok. Like Rosanne Rosannadanna said, "Never mind".

When we were on Elation all the food was pretty darn good. Our soup wasn't hot though, the strawberry bisque was cold.

Strawberry bisque, like peach soup, is supposed to be served cold.

Just an FYI, the spin game is once again gone, and scratch is back.   So currently I am losing on the scratch game...

Same here. Both days it's been on the website.

OK.... doesn't help the poster that wanted it.  Never saw it in a ship's store or any bar, but then again, not a fan of pistachios.

Fair enough. If it were anywhere on ship, it'd probably be in the Alchemy Bar. But then again, I'm  not into those exotic type drinks.

Decks 10 and 11 have been closed off. Winds outside are 52mph but you can't feel it.

Wow! That's strong enough to blow you overboard! 

I SO want to take a cruise on the Breeze while she's still in Galveston, our drive to port. We've sailed the other 2 out of there. Maybe someday....before she gets re-deployed. 

BTW, I'm loving your review! Keep up the good work! 👍

And which cruise ship have you seen this on Joe?

I never said I saw it. Just that it exists...somewhere.

Never seen pistachio liqueur on any cruise ship on six different lines.

I thought they charged tax in port, not gratuities?

I thought they charged both! 

Love, love love your writing style! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Hi fellow cruisers,

 

I have a question. Are there empty mini bars in the cabins on the Valor?

 

Thanks

All of the minifridges come totally empty, on the ships that have them.

Walked to Fish Tales

We ate at Fish Tails exactly 2 weeks ago, today. We sailed on the Dream on Sept. 24 for an 8 day Eastern Caribbean cruise. Hope you enjoy it more than we did.

No, spin game wasn't kind to me today either!

Thanks tw67! 👍

We love cove balconies. It's close to the water. On rare occasion, when the sea is angry, you can get a little mist, but not much. The beautiful cobalt blue is so beautiful it's mesmerizing. We've been on 2 cruises with c.b.'s and they are our favorite. You do not get so much sun you'll get sunburned.

No, not now.  But I don't see it very far off with the way Carnival has been trying to cut its food cost lately... shortened hours, smaller portions, cheaper cuts of meat, closed stations, more items with upcharges, complimentary room service only for continental breakfast...

All cruise lines are in a recovery mode from the covid shut down. It will take a few years to recover from the devastating financial toll it took on them, but I'm confident the strongest lines will  recover. It's just a matter of time, and time will tell. Have faith, my friend.

For now, until the next round of cuts when they start charging for extra entrees.

But that's not happening now, is it?

I actually drove a tender back to the ship in Belize while the operator stood aside for a break 😀 But yea! A few times over. Here's hoping the Vista gets her problem repaired and in order.

Indeed. Thanks. I found Belize beautiful, along the lines of the movie: "The Year of Living Dangerously".

I loved it.

Do they allow you to order more than one entrée during brunch?

Yes, I believe so.

In my opinion, your best chance of success, would be to call Carnival and have them assign a PVP on their staff to help you. 👍

My ideal, but I realize an obtainable dream, would be a cruise from Galveston, to the Leeward Islands, and then  the Lesser Antilles on my way back. I think that covers it all on my bucket list, for the Caribbean. 

Wow. Just Wow! Jeff, this presentation you & Patti did, was beyond incredible!! Your  narrative, Patti's picture composing was truly worthy of the best travel magazine. And I mean it! Thanks. Job well done! 👍
