As a Diamond Plus member at Royal Caribbean, I was/am proud & impressed, that Royal Caribbean was able to sellout their fist World Cruise.

Do you think if Carnival was to have a World cruise on Venezia, would it be a success?  Are there enough upper income Carnival cruisers, to sell out such a voyage?

Would you all, be interested in a three month plus voyage?  If so, where would you like ship to go, for a "once in a lifetime voyage?"

 

Some people might think this is an absurd idea, however, there are now 30 day Pacific crossings to Australia, so perhaps it might work.

What are your general thoughts? 

 

Not sure if this is a subtle insult or what???

OK, so I'm going to start this review all over. I just booked the Freedom for Sept so now I have to go back and pay attention to the pictures. 😁

Once across the bridge, we go through this building and come upon the pool which is huge…..

 

 

 

 

We make these chairs our home base for today….

 

 

Here are a couple more pool area pictures…..

 

 

 

 

This is the beach taken from the pool area…..

Add princess cays to that new port list. I forgot about that one.

rent an "aqua chair" at PC and just float if that's your thing. That's what I did in Sept

Hi 🙂

 

I realize that.

 

However, the itineraries of Vista & Mardi Gras for September 2024 couldn't be more different from one another.

 

The difference in itineraries are night & day.

 

Sept 7th, 2024 the Vista has a terrific 8-day itinerary. Aruba, Curacao & Grand Turk.

 

And September 21st, 2024 Vista 8-day; Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Maarten & Amber Cove.

 

Mardi Gras in September 2024 has 6 & 7-day itineraries going to Nassau, Amber Cove, Cozumel etc, etc, etc..

 

 

 

 

Again, I want to know about the ships. Not itineraries.

Hi 🙂

 

Can you list the itineraries & dates anyway. More informed information equals better, more informed replies.

 

 

🍹

Both Sept '24. Grand Turk, Amber Cove, HMC I think. My questions was more for the ships than the itinerary since I have been to all of the ports in the past.

For those of you that have been on both what are your pros, cons, and which ship would you choose? I know the Mardi Gras is newer and bigger. The age of the ship doesn't matter to me. Also, the itinerary is almost the same so that isn't an issue.

I'm a bit behind so apologies if this has already been discussed.....but are those tablecloths in the MDR??

Probably elegant night

I am reading @Jamman54 review and Mrs. Patty went to Soul Play. It's an arts and crafts place and she got to do some painting. Does anyone know if they offer that on Liberty?

Well, first off, thanks for following along.   There certainly is no doubt I am a fan of Carnival and cruising on their ships.  I will leave the cheerleader comment alone.   All my reviews are honest, no reason not to be.  This cruise has been calm from a clientele  perspective.   I have met John several times, but would not call him a special friend.  
 

That said, I do have some Carnival employees that I consider to be good friends in various levels within the company. Even with those, my reviews would not be jaded, good or bad.  We have had a wonderful cruise, nothing short of that.  There is something  strange going on now, more on that later.  

I will never, for the life of me, understand that comment. Do people not get loud or drunk on ANY other cruise line than Carnival? I find that hard to believe.

Is it weird that I am bothered by the fact that the cheese is not melted. 

It's like going to the Waffle House and they just throw the cheese on your hashbrowns right before they bring it to your table. Like, bro???

She and W will be on the Horizon in April and the Celebration in May. 😎

 

 

Actually yes. We have sailed on Cunard, Norwegian,  Premier,  Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean. We have not strayed from Carnival for a long time and that was because of our boys. They started out on Carnival, but one summer we did the Explorer of the Seas, which they absolutely loved. So when we were ready to book our cruise for the next summer, I asked them which line they wanted to go on, and they said "Carnival "! If they went the other way we would probably be Loyal Royals! We have discussed cruising other lines again, but just haven't pulled the trigger. 😎

That's awesome. I'll be on #14 in 20 days. All on Carnival.

Code Alpha is a medical emergency. As with any emergency, the announcements go out ship-wide to a) ensure those to need to respond hear the announcement...no matter where they are, and b) notify everyone else so that they know to avoid the area around the emergency situation.

I was on a Carnival cruise once when a man fell overboard. They said Code whatever then man overboard, over and over in the middle of the night. Scared us to death. We ran outside to the balcony and could see them shining the spot lights. We circled for 8 hours but the man was never found. The new reported that he did in fact jump and was on his honeymoon. Sad.

I think the web site is one of the places they have cut expenses. We've had all kinds of wonky experiences on there in the last year or so. Old information, offers not showing any availability when you click on the offer, but showing availability when you click on another offer, etc. All signs of less upkeep.

Yes, I've noticed too. A couple of times I've priced a cruise and it was over $5000 for a solo then a few days later it was back to normal. You would think with all the technology it would be up to date.

Can we get Sid to 300 followers of this post before he gets off??

We wish! Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure you can find great reviews on all the boards. Have you ever thought of trying one? It is a lot of work but it's a great way of re-living your cruise long after it's over. Have a great cruise on the Magic! 😎

Have you cruised on any other lines in the past?

I have absolutely no idea what I’ve been doing with my life before now, but I’m so happy that I pulled it together enuff to catch this fan freaking tastic review by my brother from another mother! As always, Patti is working the hades outta that camera! This is 2 snaps and a circle good! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 
 

 

This is now me waiting for the rest of this review! 

 

Wildra, when are you cruising again? I miss you!

I wonder why when they make changes to prices etc they don't update the website? It still says pizza is 24 hours and has the old prices for Seafood Shack.
