So do you have fun? Was the weather a really big issue?

RoLoHa, Hope your Thanksgiving went awesome! We were in Miami- South Beach before we hopped on the Scarlet Lady in Oct. Ship is not for us. Loved the op to be in our fav. state! Spent in time in St Pete's, visited Key Largo enjoyed the drive to Orlando for business. It is really hard to be in Florida and not be wowed! It is the people, the warm water, gardens, animal life. ....... Back to reality: Wishing you an early Bon Voyage, smooth sailings, and sunsets that can only be experienced on the water Hugs

Hello, Using this as an opportunity for a distraction bc I have so much to do! DH and I have being cruising with RC, Celebrity, Princess, Polar Express(Antarctica) and Carnival since 2006. We discovered Cruise Critic in 2009 and had 5 people attend the Meet & Greet hosted by the cruise line. Food, wine and awesome view. Everyone was meeting each other in person, for the first time. All were computer users. The Cruise director had a raffle, and I had little gifts for the travelers. Before the cruise, this venue was used to talk, say hi, share plans, information, worries As the cruising date neared, this venue became a place to organize meeting in person, doing stuff before, on and off the ship. It used to be really fun being able to post a Count Down Clock- sparkly fonts and icons! Not supported anymore. It was amazing at the creativity people had! DH and I lived close to two ports in Ca. and took advantage of the awesome short cruises that would leave on Friday and return with enough time to get to work on Monday. That was enough to get us hooked and we have been vacationing on the water ever since. Please stop by for a visit and if you wish- please share your first cruise, best cruise, or ...... Enjoy

OOOPS! Correction- Out of Orlando. DH is a great late proof reader😄

Thoroughly enjoying all the threads about the Venezia. This will be the first Carnival cruise for us. The first year Venezia will be sailing out of Miami. Miami where it is a bit warmer...... Back to reality-Cleaning up from Turkey Day. Enjoy

RoLoHa This is the first of two Thanksgiving Holidays before we sail🥰Wishing everyone lots of love and good eats! Spending today- Wednesday at the grocery store/ Mall ( Not the most intelligent I must say!). First time making sweet potatoe casserole-Ever! HAPPY THANKSGIVING

A belated but a much Heartfelt Bon Voyage! Our cruise is in 2025! Happy Thanksgiving🥰

Sailing into the week of Thanksgiving- USA. DH has taken off from work Wednesday. I am grateful since he will need to put the lights, tree and help me clean. Although we will not be home for Christmas, pet sitters will be! So it seems like I have to take a hard look at the I don't know how old 2nd hand tree and decorations.Although the broken animation on the polar bears were fine for us,,, fixing is necessary. And I am sure the list will become longer.😃Outside- front yard looks like a dust bowl. The wind, harsh sun,cold weather and my inability to take care of everything=dust bowl.😂 🤣 Good news-two year old new to us puppy is now house broken, the cat and dog love playing with each other, and we have no fleas! So I am setting up a chair by the fireplace- Visitors are most Welcome

Sailed on Scarlet Lady in Oct. Beautiful ship! Found major difference-At no time did I ever feel spoiled not even with the Splash of Romance package-app failed. Except at the Dock deck 7. I guess that can be considered an age thing- over 65 married 44 years.

This is the first time DH and I have sailed on Carnival. We are in love with the Venezia and can't wait to call her our own, even for a short time! It seems as if this cruise will be filled with passengers who share the same idea🥰 A unique and wonderful gathering of people who love/enjoy cruising and the opportunity to sail on a beautiful ship! Sixteen months is waaay ahead of time, but a lot of thought went into choice of cabin, etc.So please, I invite all to come and visit, say hi 😁

HAPPY HALLOWEEN af3bafa6-e692-11e9-bf03-06551cb39bc6.avif

WELCOME to the Venezia cruise! Upon boarding and settling in, who is going to go directly to the sports bar and participate in Super Bowl festivities? My DH is already smiling! We will be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. I was so surprised when I realized we will be Valentine's Day on a sea day. How romantic is that?!

Who else will be sailing away?😁 Beginning Roll Call was inspired by RoLoHa🥰 hugs

RoL0Ha Hi! Thank you for starting the RC. Previous poster is my DH😁 Guess I better move to a new thread- keeping the tradition. Hope it is ok to visit once in awhile- Hugs Debbie
