If they are Spiked I would say they are cocktails they do have booze in them

Goober, just spring for the drink. ;)

well, people can't complain about smoking on the balcony now, so now they will complain about the music!:eek:

Exactly. They have to find SOMETHING to bi#@h about. Uggggh!

Google cruise and fish together - works very nicely. :)

I was in 7258 a few years ago. They call it the "bowling alley" balcony. I don't have access to my pics on this computer, but if you google 'carnival legend 7258', there are lots of pics via the images link.

Have a great cruise, and enjoy that balcony! :D

Are you and Mr. Lawn (HeyYouKidsGetOffMyLawn) related? ;)

Great writing style.... loved reading about your adventure! Fascination is a great ship - one of my favs!

Thanks for taking the time. :)

Steve?

You sailed on Carnival a dozen times but didn't know if they sold cigarettes? :confused:

Oh, how helpful you are. :rolleyes:

“That's the dumbest question I've heard all day.”

Priceless!!

Anxiously waiting for more.

I think he is probably mowing his lawn! :rolleyes:

Or gathering up all the balls the neighbor kids keep inadvertently knocking into his backyard and storing them in the basement. ;)

When you write a book (and I really hope you do!), please use the pen name 'HeyYouKidsGetOffMyLawn' so that we know it's you! :D Waiting for more!!!

Every Sunday @ 1pm Central time on ME TV. I'm loving watching the old reruns!!

There is a 5 minute wait between drinks. They won't cut you off, you just have to keep in mind the 15 drink limit per day IF you are sharing. Not that you would be... just sayin'. :)

So ny wife calls me and asks if Carnival has called me, I told her no why???

 

She tells me she just got a call and offered a suite for $500 total with no extra taxes...

 

So needless to say we are now in a $3400 suite for right at $2100!

 

We cruise on the 17th, and I can't wait as we've never had a suite .

So you have a NY wife and a TX wife? ;)

Just kidding..... sounds like you got an amazing deal! Congrats, and enjoy your cruise!

Bad analogy. I don't know any restaurants that add the tip to your tab before being served by the ownwers, holding you hostage to pay their employee.

Actually, there are a few restaurants around here that when they run your card when you go to pay your bill they do the "authorization" for the tab plus 15%. Really peeved me when it first happened - I was new to the area and called them up and gave them an earful. They said "that's the way it's done around here". I don't go to those restaurants anymore, but if I did, I would definitely pay with cash because how much I tip should be my business and they shouldn't assume anything from the get-go.

According to the Carnival website, here is your info:

Next thing will be complaining that the towel animals scare the kids.

It's been done. Very sad. :rolleyes:

I don't eat the chocolates myself, but bring them home for the curtain climbers. They're like Mikey... they'll eat anything. ;)

 

An iguana chilling on some shrubs.

 

Awesome pics! We saw a couple of iguanas too... did your guy stop at the termite nest on the way up the hill? Creepy!!! (It was raining a bit... oh well)

Cass will hopefully be working on our sea day today but it's hockey playoffs tonight so I'll be heavily intoxicated, screaming at my tv :D.

 

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!

LOL Chris!! Of course since I live in MN, ppl think I would/should be pulling for the Wild. I'm an AVS fan through and through, and after the game this past weekend, I wasn't a happy camper. Then I heard they fired Sacco (shortly after the end of that game where the AVS were ROBBED of a goal... damn blind zebras!)... so I guess I'm at a loss as who to root for in this series!! <sigh>

Can't wait to read more... but for now, I'm grabbing a beer and hanging onto the remote waiting for the game to start!!! ;)

Hey Leslee! Thanks!! Boy how I wish we were back on board!! :o

Hi! :D I agree... I would give just about anything to be on HMC right now... though it is FINALLY above frickin freezing around here! We're sittin' at 77 right now... suntanning weather! ;)

Thanks for doing the review, I look forward to reliving that awesome week! :)

Woo hoo!! I'm SO glad you've started.... subscribing right now! ;)

I've been to both, and personally I would lean towards Nachi. Mr. Sanchos just didn't "do it" for me. They seemed very standoffish and not very friendly, though many people love it there. Both included all drinks, food was extra. If you get there early enough you'll get a prime lounger, but there seemed to be plenty available elsewhere.

Have a great time!!!

Just an FYI on the Early Bird thing with Southwest... they upped the price from $10 per leg to $12.50 recently. I'm not sure exactly when the change went into effect as I booked each leg of my upcoming trip separately, months apart. The first leg (purchased Aug, 2012) I paid $10 for EB, second leg (purchased 2-23-13) it was $12.50.

Honestly, I think I really only benefit from the EB on the flight home, since it would require getting online on the ship or racking up cell/data charges to check in at the 24 hour mark. With EB, they check in for me.

Just a heads up.... :)

Here's a little bit more info... good luck!! :)
