I thought it was more than sharing an address, like you had to be married, a significant other, parent or guardian of a minor, in order to share status.

They have a menu but once they get to know you, they will likely offer to get your lunch from Shaq's or Guy's. We really enjoyed having lunch in our cabana.

I was able to move a casino booking last week with no charge. Went thru my PVP

I think you could easily give your tickets to your daughter and son-in-law. Basically, anyone with a ticket can go on the excursion unless there are age, weight, height or other restrictions. Should not be a problem.

Agreed. And they do prefer cash tips, for whatever reason. Last cruise I got $100 in one's and made sure to spread them around the ship. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of free drinks, though some went to restaurant servers, cabin steward, porters, etc.

So glad you found Radio Beach and enjoyed Bimini. It is beautiful and authentic!

Hope everyting today is irie!

Your PVP would be able to do this, if you have one. If not, since the reservations are linked, maybe you have to option to book and pay for the specialty dinners for all of you in your planner. Here's what we did. Just booked and paid for the two of us, then stopped in Rudi's on the first day and asked them to add two people to the reservation (you need their names and stateroom numbers). Worked out fine for us.

We have done the MG three times this year and truly love the ship. Our last time onboard was mid-September and you could tell they were short on staff. It did not impact us too much as we spent most days in our cabana at Loft 19, then did specialty restaurants four of the seven nights. We tried to do things we missed on the prior two MG cruises, so we did one dinner at Pig and Anchor. While the meat was fine, I didn't particularly like the ambiance so we didn't return (other than for their great Bloody Mary at the bar). For dinner on the MG, I recommend Cucina, Rudi's, the steakhouse and Emerill's. We tried the MDR one night in the past and said never again. We did Sea Day Brunch and they tried to give us an awful table (tiny two top, right by the server station and in the path of everyone entering and exiting). I spoke to a supervisor and asked, why do we always get a terrible table in the MDR? He said well speak to the host, and I told him that I already spoke to the host, who gave us our table assignment. He finally said ok, let me find you a better one. Within five minutes, we were seated in a quiet area with a view of the water. That is one thing I dislike about the app. There is no choice on seating, you sign in and they try to seat you wherever is convenient for them. I would rather wait longer for a table in a good location. With Celebration coming out as the new flagship, two of our next four Carnival cruises are on the Celebration. Many of the great staff formerly on the MG have already been assigned to the Celebration, so I am pretty certain we will enjoy it.

Megan, Thanks for another great live review. So much fun to follow along.

Unfortunately no. By the time we got there, all sold out. Lucky for us, some people were leaving and gave us theirs.

When we were in Bimini, they were trying to sell us RW passes on the tram.

Love the Atlantis photos and commentary. It is quite beautiful and I always enjoy spending time there.

Hope you have a wonderful beach day!

Clarification: When we had one in May, pretty sure it was six. However, on our most recent cruise, it was FIVE.

So how was it? What did you order? Hope it was a Grand Slam!

Glad you enjoyed it. Miracle is a sentimental favorite of ours.

Bar Della Rosa is good for coffee, but agree with Walter that the Havana Bar has the best coffee on the ship.

Thanks. I have three Elite cruises booked, but will likely only do two of them. Hoping for some spring cruises on the Mardi Gras or the Celebration, .

sangria at Rudi’s Seagrill. It is white, light and fruity. Kentucky mule at Bar Della Rosa. Your choice!

Anybody know what the new Elite cruises are? I have access on October 13. Thanks

We felt we had plenty of privacy. We could lean out and see the people beside us, but it really is NOT an issue.

Funny story. Our granddaughter, who was 18 or so at the time, lost her drivers license at the port. It was a hassle but they let her board with a photo of her drivers license on her phone. Pretty sure we were the last group to board that day. This was at Port Canaveral.

Thanks for the review. We also had Mona Liza for our cabin steward and enjoyed her. We also had a deck 12 aft balcony and loved it. Not as convenient as the the more forward extended balconies but it was quiet and we needed the exercise. Glad you enjoyed the Mardi Gras. It is a great ship.

We just returned from the MG on Saturday, and had the Loft 19 Cabana booked in our name (none of us were in a suite). On the first day, the four of us went to Loft 19, they checked us in and asked how many wristbands? We said four, and they gave us four. Never asked for the others' cabin number. No issues all week. In fact, it was the highlight of our cruise.
