Venezia 10/6/25, Vista10/18/25, Celebration 11/9/25, Pride 11/16/25, Celebration 12/7/25. Also Mardi Gras and Magic in early 2026.

That's not hard when you count water, coffee, soda, etc.

I totally agree with you on the Blue Iguana Huevos Rancheros being better than the sea day brunch one! The old one at Sea Day brunch used to be fantastic but that changed years ago.😪

In a day or 2 they will tell you if it is approved or denied. My first one was denied because my brokerage statement was 3 months old. I re-submitted and was approved 2 days later. Once approved, then you can apply it towards your upcoming cruises through the app. I had 2 ( 1 in March, 1 in April) approved within 3 days.

Excel class ship (Celebration)will have a lot more bells and whistles than the Magic, but with the choice of those 2 itineraries I would take the Magic hands down! If your destination is the ship....Celebration would win out for me.

I've taken a small bowl of cookies back to the room for a late night snack, but filling Tupperware containers is just embarrassing.😳

Sorry to see such a bogus ending to an otherwise great vacation. 😥

They need to fix this! Heck, a lot of venues ONLY accept digital tickets these days.

Starting a Carnival cruise with a Funship is a must!

And the little voice gets louder when alcohol is involved!🤣

I think I paid $22 or $23 in December. It seems to go up every few months these days.

I didn't think I would, but really like Excel class ships. Glad you had a good time. You cannot go wrong with Big Chicken and Blue Iguana for lunch!

Praying it's not the cruise crud. I got sick on my last 2 cruises. Negative for covid, flu, rsv...etc. Just the crud. Prior to that, 36 cruises without ever getting sick. Not sure what's going on with that!🤔

Atrium bar people watching is second only to Red Frog rum bar on the Lido deck!😜

No. They have been gone for a while now😪

You need 2 suites!😜

It definitely works much better than when they first came out with it. Used to be very hit or miss, but lately it has been pretty reliable.

It is pure heaven in a rum punch glass!

That new BBQ salmon is the bomb!!

Our favorite place to hang out on the MG!

Keep in mind that when you first board it will seem very crowded. This is mostly because everybody is looking for food or a drink and not all of the venues are open when you first board. Tell your hubby not to panic like I did! After a few hours everything calms down. There are so many options for food and drink the ship never really felt crowded for the rest of the cruise....until time to debark of course!😜😡

Mardi Gras

Tried that. No dice.

Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare!

Physical hard cards.
