It has been a year since I cruised Carnival, and next Saturday will be my first time on Liberty... TY so much for this thread, I dream about the food all year. Its the best service and presentation I get exposed to. ;)

There are a few dishes from the MDR that I was wondering about... are they still served?

prosciutto and melon?

the french onion soup?

the golden mushroom soup?

and what is the punchline brunch?

do not take a baby on this excursion.

I am a bob marley fan, it was the highlight of my cruise 4 or 5 years ago.

LISTEN to your guide. If he says do not "pick it up" do NOT pick it up. He will take care of you, once you are off the compound.

The walk up to the compound was difficult after the amount of punch I drank. :) I felt awkward because it is his tomb as well as Marley's home, and I felt some ppl were quite disrespectful, and did not listen to the guide, when he explained customs and rules and respect.

Along the lines of the Harley Group, the Cross Dressers Group and the Evangelical group..Mother and I were unknowingly booked on a BBW cruise. Big Beautiful Women. There was a pre-requisite to be in this group, of 275 lbs.. and proud. I made many new friends who quardrupled my weight, I admit. The pictures from deck are priceless. As we were just trying to capture our vacation and not intentionally exploit anyone we tried to be discreet about taking photos..but it was an unfruitful effort as every picture from deck, was horrid. See, I weighed about 95lbs (I am 5 feet tall) the year of that cruise and undoubtedly looked sick and malnurished anytime I was near the pool.

By the 5th day of the 7day cruise the ship was out of bread, and part of the top deck was the graveyard for broken deck, pool loungers and dining room chairs. The dining room was empty every night and the buffetts were understocked. After a few nights of ponedring the empty DR, a concensus was made, that there were too many arm chairs in this room, and that it must be uncomfortable. The comedian that week, definately catered to the 700 BBW's and their significant others and I was called out directly at the comedy show, both the 830pm show and the adult hour.

There was an abundance of hover rounds and walkers and oxygen tanks. I even saw a woman who's ankles covered her feet up to her toes and her 140lb boyfriend making out in a glass elevator...ok..that enough reminscing about THAT one...
