They started in this past year. The Legend was one of the test ships. Have not experienced the “quick” times the op has but it works well. Some of the waiters were struggling with the adaptation. Sure it is better now.

It is their vacation 😉

Bingo

ALL cruise lines do this.

Interesting

But we cannot stay in the Hotel California any more because the last time we were the girl who had those lying eyes, but I can't tell you why, which makes me a desperado, and I would leave and come back...and I would be the new kid in town. All this because I was living life in the fast lane, but I think I have run this into the ground...and your post made me take it to the limit.

It means, using your analogy, that if we look back in year 4, that is the worse. Obviously "our" thoughts of year 2 and 3 were wrong, they were not worse, simply because year 4 is worse. Between year 3 and 4 we absolutely 100% know years 2 and 3 were in fact not worse. To complete the thought, in year 5 when we get an increase we know which was worse, even more clearly. .

It has been a good long while since we sailed on the Orchestra when she came over and was MSC's first venture in the US market. Then (not sure now), there were several things which made it different. First was, because many Europeans were on the ship, every announcement was done in five languages. Not a big difference, but got boring. MDR experience was different as well. Service was, they seemed to.....be slow. This was done consistently. I had a high expectation level for the food, and was disappointed. The entertainment was VERY different, not bad, but different. Pool chairs around the pool were chair to chair all over the deck. Very packed in feeling. again, this was years ago.

Until they get better, the worse early on were not really worse, you just thought they were until they got worse. Then the worst you thought but was not really worst was actually much less worse than the new worse. That is why their is only one worst.

sometimes, but then your definition of worse (the first one), was not correct, because it got worse. Me being the optimist, I always choose better. 😜

I will be humming that in my head for the rest of the day now..... I do miss Jenny

Great song by my fav band.....

quite creative, I am impressed.

Rash of drownings and near drownings?? Love to see the link to that. How many is a rash anyways.... 1, 2, 846??

OP, I would love to hear how it goes, your decision on timing and hopefully a happy ending. Please let us know.

How long was the train ride

Actually while it may seem an easy decision, it probably has a ton of variables. If it is not clear, all cruise lines have priority for the clients, staff, and ships as a primary concern. That said, there are significant financial implications that are factors as well, especially when it is a cruise controlled port, and ramifications and costs to substitute ports or sea days, and that is just the major factors.

December is a long way off.

Thankfully not many cruise to there.

Does that happen often?

Especially this time of year in Florida, it can take 20 minutes to deplane, without ANY ISSUES. Lots of seniors, take lots of time. MCO you then have to go to the tram that takes you from the gate area to the terminal. Down two escalators to baggage claim wait 10 minutes (minimum), gather bags, find the Carnival rep go to bus and board. Way to close. Hope for an early flight arrival. Good luck

Because they do not sail out of San Juan

Wow…..just wow.

Well said.

Bingo, NYC has brought that on itself.
