One of my drinks that I frequently order is. vodka gimlet on the rocks. Everyone insists on making it with Rose’s sweetened lime juice. To me this is heartburn in a bottle. I did finally find out that if requested they will use fresh limes or use a bottle of pure lime juice. After finding out I could request this I never had anyone refuse to make it “my” way. This only works if ordering from bar staff….can’t do it on medallion

We were on the Rotterdam Nov 24 to Dec 3. Starlink was an improvement over previous internet son the Rotterdam. But we were unable to stream without upgrading to Premium internet. For some reason we did not think we would have to upgrade once Starlink was installed.

Oops….I know that. Just so used to typing PBG which is abbreviation for my home town,

We have not noticed any smell of cigarettes in either Billboard or Rock and Roll room but maybe we aren’t as sensitive to it. Had dinner in Pinnacle and it surpassed the dinner we had there in March. Since tip is included/added we never feel the need to add extra. But our server Yuli went above board and definitely earned the extra tip we left. She is definitely an asset to HA. Tonight is Tamarind and we are hoping for an excellent experience there. Tomorrow is Canaleto.

Currently on board. No Lincoln Center Stage mentioned. Rock band in our opinion is not as good as the one that was on board in March although everyone seems to be enjoying them. Hubby happy to find IPA on draught in Billboard bar.

Boxes all over the lobby on deck 2. All marked Christmas. Thinking decorations are going up over the two days we are in Aruba.

PBG is my home airport. Try Captains Airport Seaport Car Service. 561 789 2180. They are our go to service to the airport and cruise ports. There is also Brightline and Tr Rail. Can’t speak from experience as I am not one to try and manage luggage of and on train. Tri Rail is less money than Brightline. Both will require transfer via taxi, uber, lyft from train station to airport

My drink of choice is vodka gimlet. But they insist on using Rose’s sweetened lime juice which to me is reflux in a bottle. I will be taking my own lime juice on next cruise and just ordering vodka on the rocks. Then adding my own juice. A couple of good stirs and I will be set to go.

Anxiously following your report as we will be on the 24th sailing. Watched you at sail away and located you right where you said you would be. Thanks for posting. I do have one question. Do you know when first seating is? We usually take anytime but TA booked us on early seating. Wondering about the time and if we should change it when we board.. Keep information and posting coming and have a great cruise.

We too were not impressed with Rudi’s on the Rotterdam when we sailed in March. Meal and service were just okay. We will not be returning when we sail later this month. We will definitely be doing Pinnacle and Tamarind again. Both meals and service were excellent. Although we did try hanging bacon and just can’t see the appeal.

FYI….I submitted proof of shares for my April 2024 cruise and my December 2024 cruise at 10:00 AM. I used the “old” way of emailing them. Just received email and both dates have been applied. I too will continue to do it this way until notified differently.

Okay…I have some issues with this. First as others have said my income is none of their business. Also when submitting a copy of brokerage statement, do yo submit a whole statement or just the page showing Carnival stock? I ask because our statement is 17-18 pages and our financial holdings and total assets are not what we want to share. As I said our financial status is our business and no one we want to share. I will say I did download the app but have not set up an account yet so I am just going on what has been posted here.

I used it in March 2023 and also have it credited for my cruise scheduled November 2023 so I am guessing that you can use it multiple times.

Wow I must be a lush …😁… I am on my third or fourth set. But I use them all the time especially for road trips as they are much easier to carry than bottles. Also use them out by pool….no worry about glass breakage.

Thanks so much. Will check review site. I have pinned pattern to fabric but hesitant to cut it out.

Quick question….I have never used a vogue pattern. Do they run big, small or true to size. Last project I used Simplicity and measured size 18 which I made. It is huge and I should have used a size smaller (now another project to take it in). Anyone who has used Vogue patters before please advise.

My suggestion….Orlando to FtPierce. There you can easily transfer to I95. Remember that if there is an accident on turnpike the exits are far apart and can completely shut it down for hours. I 95 has the same issues but there are more exits so limits the chances of getting stuck. I would personally drive down the day before to allow for any unexpected occurrences

I agree. Never used a PDF pattern but way too much trouble to put all the pieces together . Also buy at Joannes especially when a sale is in progress

And on first day they had one “suicide by train”. Initial train to Orlando was running three hours late. Need to keep that in mind when planning timing. This was not a first time occurrence. Happened multiple times.

Please share pattern number.

Pack bathing suits for beaches and pools but never pack one in carry on. Not that anxious to hit pool but then again I have my own pool and spa so the novelty might have worn off.

I believe (if I remember right) that the aft pool also has steps and nice railing to assist with entering and leaving the pool. We spend a lot of time in aft pools as they are usually adult only and other than newer ships which had ladders I think we have always encountered the steps.

Is this the basic or upgraded internet?

We live in South Florida and use Captains Airport, Seaport, and Car service whenever we go to port. They are very dependable and by booking on line they apply a discount.

I hope you booked Tamarind. Outstanding. Pinnacle was good too. Rudis was a disappointment.
