Mardi Gras is awesome! ‘’if you are going to the shows in Grand Central, get there early or all the good seats will be taken. In my opinion, Granc Central is the one area that Carnival failed. When I am watching a show, I like quiet. Grand central has too much going on in the background (coffee place, people walking by) for it to be quiet. Bolt is a must do at least once. I found the comedy shows hilarious, but those (as with food) are a matter of personal taste. That is another one of the things that you want to get there early if you want a good seat. Sometimes, the line was very long, but it did move quickly when the doors opened. They have dive-in movies, but I am not really into that so much. Live music everywhere, and it’s good. They have the usual parties and such, and we had a blast. Check out reviews by Saint Greg (also check his travel blog), Jamman54, and sid_9169. They’ve all sailed Mardi Gras and do awesome reviews with a lot of great pics and info.

A huge thanks to you and Patti for an amazing review and for taking us all along. It is making me really excited about my B2B on the Celebration this October! I hope you two enjoy your future travels!

Definitely my favorite of the spiked coffee drinks!

100% this. I am sorry to tell you, but you have been scammed. All the time, scammers send checks to people hoping they will cash them. When they do, the scammers get your bank information, cancel the check, and then completely empty your bank account. I would be vigilant in checking your bank accounts each day. As for the emails, they may look legit, but sometimes, scammers create fake email addresses and replace certain parts of email addresses hoping people won’t notice. Look on-line for phishing scams and see how people think it is coming from a legit email, but it is not. What telephone number are you calling? Is it one provided in the email from “Carnival” about the reimbursement, or is it from Carnival’s actual web page? Some phishers will even create a web page that looks like the legit one, and will email you a link to their fake web site so you think it is real. You click on the link, and you are in their web site and give them all kinds of information. I don’t know how these people got your information, but they did. Maybe someone hacked into Carnival, Westjet, or however you booked this (travel agent). As the other poster stated, Carnival is refusing to reimburse them for airfare, so you have definitely been scammed. The broken language in their message to you is even more of a tip off. I am sorry to be such a downer and give you this information, but you should be contacting the police to file a report. They may tell you there is nothing they can do, but at least you will have a police report on file in case anything else happens (emptying your bank account). Unfortunately, scammers and phishers are very good at what they do.

Whenever I see escargot on any menu, I always think of this scene.

Ask, and ye shall receive…..

Here’s what I woke up to this morning…..

One of my all time favorite movies…..

Well, that just takes all the fun out of zip lining!

That’s the same itinerary we are doing. Looking forward to your review for that one as well!

Enjoy your cruise. We contemplated the Jubilee, but opted for Horizon instead. Better itineray, better price. Looking forward to your review!

Laughed and spit out my coffee with this one…..

I am hoping it returns to New York. Carnival has been saying New York 2025 schedule will be out in the next week or so. They have been saying this for two months…..

Waiting oh so patiently for Venezia New York schedule for 2025 to be released. Doing a B2B on Celebration next year, so 2024 is pretty much a one (technically two) and done for me.

He was on our cruise. I would give him a 6 out of 10. Just a heads up — what was on the app breakfast menu was not in the restaurant for our cruise. I saw huevos rancheros and got really excited. Got to the restaurant and no huevos! Totally different menu that was was on the app.
