W and I  cruised in Oct and I did write a review, however, it is still sleeping peacefully in my notebook. I will wake it up and post it though, if y’all don’t mind reading about my rock bottom autumn era. 🤪🤪🤪

Yessssss!

For anyone who has recently cruised on the Liberty, are there any adults only pools or hot tubs?  I’ll definitely be spending some time at Serenity but was wondering about possible pools as well.   Thanks!!

Yes, pretty sure its in the back of the ship

I haven't really been in CC since my cruise in Sept. Has she done any lately?

pretty sure the 15 (alcoholic) drink limit is whether you have the cheers package or not. They don't want you stupidly drunk whether you are buying it with or without the drink package.

Thats what I thought too

If you're not purchasing cheers he will not have a 15 drink limit. The 15 drink limit is only if you're on the Cheers plan. Otherwise you can purchase as much as you'd like as long as you're not stupidly drunk and they stop serving you.

 

In answer to your bucket of beers/will they be open question. I know they usually open beers for you, but I don't think they open all of them for you if you open a bucket. It's been awhile since i've purchased a bucket so I could be wrong on that. You could always ask them to not open them though (or open them) depending on your preference.

 

Have fun!

Oh ok. I have seen many times people on here say its 15 no matter Cheers or not

They will not allow you to buy a bucket on Cheers. It is one drink at a time and there is a 5-10 minute wait time before they can ring in another.

We aren't getting cheers since I don't drink.

My wife and I been on 5 Carnival cruises. We like to chat with others over meals. For three of the cruises we booked YTD and requested shared tables for dinner each time while checking in on the app (25+ times). We were always given our own table (usually a small two person table) and was never given a shared table at dinner. The only time I've had a shared table assigned was at seaday brunch.  

 

Is there a point in requesting a shared table at dinner for Your Time Dining? Is the only way to get a shared table for dinner is through fixed dining?

You are literally 1 ft from the next table so we always end up talking to them anyway.

So my next question is this. If he buys a bucket I'm assuming it counts 6 towards his 15? Will they be open or does he have to open? It will be cheaper to buy the bucket and bring back to the room whatever he doesn't drink but that wont work if they open them for you.

Carnival Cruise Beer Menu (cruisecritic.com)

 

Not impressive if you only like high-end craft beer (e.g., Pliny The Younger, World Wide Stout, etc.).  I usually stick to rum while on the ship, it makes me talk like a pirate.  Fun to order a Pirate Punch with a pirate accent.  But at home I drink beer more often than not.

The words "high end" and my husband don't go together 🤣

What brands of beer is sold? Particularly looking for Mich Ultra?

based on various articles that can be found it seems like NCL is more in the negotiation phase with the port officials  that it MIGHT happen sometime in the future. no official announcement/press release about it

I'm an hour from Jax. It would be great to have a 2nd option.

I read that a NCL ship is coming to Jacksonville, Fl? I'm sure it will be a smaller one because it has to fit under the bridge.

Starry is far superior to Sprite, IMO.   Sprite has a slight DIRT after taste to it (yah!  that's experience speaking!) and Starry is just a cleaner experience.  

I'm not a fan of Pepsi in general, but ever since I gave up caffiene, I've found that the "other" options that Pepsico offers are better (Mug rootbeer rocks!)

Clearly you've never had a crisp and spicy Sprite from McDonalds 🤣

Back here at the room now, and I don't even know if I'm going back out this evening. It's been a long strange trip here this week. Ups. Downs. Sideways a couple of times... A pretty decent time by all standards... Things didn't go "exactly" as great as I'd thought, but then again it was magnitudes better than my last cruise on Virgin Voyages, so that's a plus... I've got some REAL work to do once I get back home to Atlanta... Try to work on this drinking situation, as well as looking into therapy. On top of that, tackling whatever health issues I may or may not have, and also trying to figure out what I'm going to do for work going forward after my days over at the 'ol salt mine come to an end... 

 

Seems like my plate is pretty full right now... Thanks to all of you who made it this far on this crazy crazy week! 

 

 

I've been off CC since my cruise in Sept so I missed the VV drama. Going over there now to read it.

I suppose that my next major decision of the day is where to eat dinner? Any ideas?

Emerils

I urge you to try it and post it here... I don't even know how to do that...

Challenge accepted!

We have stopped at Buc-ees in St. Augustine. I was in and out in 10 minutes, Patti may be spending the day! I dared her to get a bathroom picture. 😁

@Jamman54 Fun fact. I don't know if you remember but I live in Brunswick, Ga. Exit 38. Close to Kingsland. They are building a Bucees here in Brunswick! Exit 42. Breaking ground next week!

Are we voting?  I vote blue or do you call that periwinkle?

I laugh at the periwinkle. My daughter is getting married and her colors are placid blue and sage. I said so blue & green? She said NO!! PLACID BLUE AND SAGE!! 🤣
