Maybe make a Mr Creosote badge.....LOL

What is the lounger situation? I assume you have a full ship, do you have to be a lounger scrounger or are they readily available, including in shade?

I have a 30 day (Alaska to Australia) and I am also curious how the menu will work.

Oh man, I forgot ChiBang and the Deli I miss anything else? Ice cream? We should make some silly award meme to give those who accomplish the feat

Agreed, SMH You got a year advance notice and you're guaranteed your rate, plus $25...what more do you think you deserve? They gave you a year's notice

Miss anything? Room service? Shall we create a specific order and rules to the Carnival Excel Class Culinary Challenge? (CECC Challenge) I go on Celebration Jan 29, I will make my attempt at that time. But keep in mind, I am a skinny guy

Until this ship, I didn't know that a Cassidy Giffords even existed

I still usually write a dollar on the slip. They remember me next time.

For some strange reason, TikTok needs a ton of data. I can easily play YouTube videos but have TikTok lag and buffer. At the very least you'll need the premium, but even then it may lag and drag

That'd be funny.... Hoard some bacon and one day when they have none, sit near a large group and pull out your bacon bag

Remember to pack ziplocs and saran wrap!

I am impressed y'all were allowed to do tricks

Great, now I am going to spend my day foraging for food to stow until later like a squirrel

What I was thinking for our upcoming Celebration cruise, but I will hoard real goodies like pastries and desserts

Not at all

With, of course

and sandals

and good on you, nothing wrong with it. Makes you happy, all good.

Tell your BF to relax, it's a vacation. There's no enforced dress code, only suggestions. Formal night is not even called that any longer, it's elegant night and the only difference between that day and any other is the dining room serves a sea bug that at one time was thought so disgusting it was considered by-catch, or waste, and discarded as such. A small lobster tail. No one cares. They will only stop you going into main dining room (MDR) if you're in flip flops, cut off jeans and a crop top, and EVEN THEN its questionable is they'd actually turn you away. Nice shirt, dark jeans or pants and you're good. Dress respectful, like you would for Thanksgiving....how's that?

Thanks. The Deli isn't open late for sammiches? and TN isn't 40 miles for Port Canaveral...LOL

I know this goes against your initial post, but let me try to sway you a little... I like playing slots, it's mindless. Table games require thought and math, I want to chill out. When playing slots (or anything) you have to disassociate the dollar from the wager or wins, they're points. When you buy in on a slot, don't look at the numbers as dollars, but as points, like when you played pinball. Same for table games, but easier on slots, try to disassociate dollars from the chip denomination. Then it's not "real money" until you cash out. Some agree and some disagree, I just find it easier to not think of it as money once playing

Are they selling those discounted meal tickets? I think it was $100 worth for 70 or something like that?

You tried Brave? It's awesome, blocks all the tracking crap. Bad thing is, search engine is garbage though

They'll still blow it some how, always do
