Vista Havana Cabana patio - walkway and other ??
EllieinNJ replied to blue_water's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We just stayed in a regular balcony on the Venezia on deck 6 just above this area. We could see everything on the patios below so not much privacy. But the walkway was seldom used. We are on the Panorama in two weeks in the same area. There should be more activity on the walkway because there is a pool which the Venezia did not have one. -
Sad news today on our Miracle cruise
EllieinNJ replied to tree.critter's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
What a tragic thing to happen. -
Saw a really cheap excursion on Viator for the glass bottom boat to the Arch and it says meeting up place is Dock D Marina. Is this near where you get off the tender? I know you can book them once you are on shore but would like to know anyway. Thanks.

Prices for the Internet just became available for both my Odyssey and Symphony sailings next year at $21.99/day. I paid $19.99/day for my Liberty sailing in September. Do you think the price will come down later in the year? And if I book it now and use my OBC will Royal return the OBC for me to use if I cancel and rebook?

If I book a Mexican bus tour through Viator, do they charge a foreign transaction fee on your credit card if that card does not have the foreign transaction exemption? I called them but got someone whose accent was hard to understand.

Amex offer $150 back on $750 at Carnival
EllieinNJ replied to Gregoryfo's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Got it. Thanks. -
Don't criticize her. JustSam won American Idol a few years ago.

Oops! It was the lounge/bar overlooking the pool area.

Before my Miraviglia cruise last October there were discussions here and on FB about a certain ethnic group that was being obnoxious, cutting lines, reserving seats in theater, etc. I found it wasn't too bad on my cruise. The ceiling and stairs get old pretty fast. The only quiet place to sit was in the piano bar on deck 17. The MDR food wasn't too good. I did not like a set dining time either. But the shows were great. Also enjoyed the after hours pizza and snacks.

We were just on the 12 day Journey cruise on Venezia. Breakfast only on port days and some days breakfast only and some days brunch on Sea days.

I only mentioned Walmart so I can get some pesos to use for the bus to Centro. Too much trouble getting them in advance from my bank or finding one in Mexico. For anything bigger I will use my credit card. Thought maybe I could buy a candy bar or bag of chips, give $5USD and get back change in pesos.

Very limited options in Buffet line on NCL Sky
EllieinNJ replied to dhanakorn's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Another perspective is maybe if they serve less variety maybe people would stop taking everything that is put out. I've seen many people filling their plates sky-high (pun intended) and then just taking a few bites of of each. A lot of wasted food. -
So will Walmart accept my US$ and give me change in pesos?
-
We get off May 4th I hope or I might have to change my air reservations. 😆
-
Can you use US dollars on the bus?
-
This might be the one she mentioned. https://www.mazatlantours.org/

WOW. Can't believe the prices you are quoting. I purchased for Liberty on Black Friday for $19.99 and thought that was high.

PANORAMA...give me those cruise reviews to Mexican Riviera
EllieinNJ replied to mitsugirly's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Hi Kim. We will be on the Panorama 5/27. From what I read it will be easier to catch an Uber if you walk to the Queen Mary or a park about 1/4 mile away. That's what we are going to do. -
LIVE from Radiance 3/15 - St Patrick’s Cruise
EllieinNJ replied to bethfelk's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Following. We will be on her in five weeks followed by the Panorama. -
So originally being from Brooklyn the only concerts we could afford to go to was Murray the Ks Christmas concert at the Brooklyn Fox. After college and working in Manhattan I went to Madison Square Garden to see the first Rock and Roll revival with the introduction of Sha-Na-Na. There were many doo- wop groups that were old men then.
-
You most certainly can. I see you are from Monticello. We went to different bungalow colonies and Hotels in the Catskills in the 50s and 60s. Best times.

Complawyer, I accept your apology and we are indeed friends again. I'm also 76 so we have that in common. I guess we are all guilty of using the "p" word when we really mean annoyed. NCL was always my cruise of choice but I got tired with the away ships and didn't want to fly anywhere. We are not gamblers and do not drink so entertainment is important to us. So when I heard that Donna was no longer available I overreacted. It was the only big show on the Prima, not like the Viva that has two big shows. I now hear it is back so am happy.
-
Yeah, you certainly did ruffle my feathers. I live in the NY/NJ area where we have plenty of oldie stations and disco is often played. What really bothered me is telling me if I don't like it to cancel my booking on the Prima and go elsewhere. This is something that is more in tune with a FB reply that a responsible Cruise Critic reply. I thought you were better than that.
