😂 I wanted to…but I was trying really hard to be nice. Aussie 🙂

Both the steakhouse and the Alchemy bar on Vista had it last week. I had 3 shots, and they were $18 each I believe.

Agree!!!! hey, that’s accurate!!

You should try it! A Havana interior is “even ok” as my mom puts it, because you have that big, huge, wonderful back deck area. That’s what I’m saying! I have met a few ladies named Precious, it’s just the irony of this one that’s got me shocked.

How was the pizza? lol B had a MAJOR craving on the way home 😂 Her trainer is ticked off already. Bahaha. Wonder where Keshore has been moved to? He was awesome. I’m currently missing him and my “Cuban iced teas with Diet Pepsi please!” His personality and attentiveness to his guests was top notch! Precious?? Is that really her name? No joke, all week long we looked for her name with no luck. It was always not on/covered up by apron. I loooove the deli but she was a real dealbreaker at times.

Oh laws! It did get to the point he would see me walk up and just make my drink. 😂 Your reviews are much appreciated!!

You guys got lucky!

Have a wonderful time!!

So jealous of your view, and being so close to a home port!!

Debarkation today was a breeze!! We were to meet in the Reflection MDR deck 3 fwd at 7:00, and by the time we got there at 7, it was empty. The ship apparently got clearance early! No line, we literally walked off and never quit moving until we reached the parking garage. Whoo hoo!

Jeff, Patti, @Knights on the Beach, everyone else embarking Vista today….HAVE FUN!!! She’s a great ship with a (mostly) great crew!

lol!! It was delicious. I truly love the deli on the Carnival ships…it’s my go to lunch spot (as yall saw this week) and if we don’t do MDR dinner 9 times outta 10 I’ll hit it up for that too! It’s quick (usually) with enough variety I don’t get bored. This week it was mostly delicious…I discovered a new favorite, the chicken salad, along with the veggie burger too. I love the deli!

Tonight consisted of bar hopping, to be totally honest. We went from the atrium, to Alchemy (Goran made a 40 is the new 20, raspberry something, proper absinthe, and an old fashion) to the Ocean Plaza (Setyo made one last espressotini, so good!) to Havana (I HAD to say bye to Kishore). Now we are packed up an enjoying some treats from Guest Services due to a squeaky balcony divider we called about earlier this week. All in all…Vista has redeemed herself as my #1 favorite ship. I’ve had some great experiences with some of the crew, and I love the Havana area….it can’t be beat! The itinerary this week was great, and I love cruises from PC. June can’t come soon enough for Chris’s bday getaway!

You were ahead for sure!!! it was SO GOOD!!

Final dinner onboard: steak & cheese (yummmm) and salad. The Asian salad on the salad bar was 👍🏻👍🏻! And the grouchy deli lady is MIA…

I love the Excel class, but I truly think Vista class in the Havana area is my favorite.

So I will say….dinner tonight is going to be the deli, and I’m going to try and see if the mood/attitude is better. I don’t make any special requests (other than no fries), so I’m not sure why I’ve had the experience I’ve had. But anyway…moving on… We got up about 930 today and hit up Blue Iguana for breakfast. Y’all..,I had the best idea…BREAKFAST TACOS!!! Get the huervos rancheros, no eggs, and take them to the toppings bar. It’s like chicken tacos for breakfast! Ahhhh! I was in heaven. New favorite breakfast onboard. After breakfast, we, uhhh…what did we do? Packed. I know we did that. We also walked the shops again. Around 1:30 we hit up Pig & Anchor for lunch, which was good.

Random thing I wanted to mention about our stateroom #5227: The a/c works AWESOME!!! As mom put it…B and I want to sleep in a meat locker. It’s the BEST I’ve had in several cruises. Even during the day it’s super cool. LOVE ❤️ IT!

Todays Funtimes

I meant to go last night and talk to someone about her, but the problem is, I don’t know her name. B and I looked yesterday and the day before, and she hasn’t had a name tag on…or if she does, it’s covered up. She had a lady helping her yesterday for a little bit and I don’t want to get the wrong person in trouble.

I’ve only sent out socks, undies, and PJs. They all came back ok. Hubby sends out boxers, socks, Columbia shirts, and they all came back alright.

B and I went and got a drink at Red Frog Pub (have I mentioned yet that I really love that venue and miss it on Horizon & newer ships??) and then came back to the room to watch a movie. B is currently contemplating running to get pizza, but is afraid of how her trainer and dietitian are going to scold her when she gets back home.

B bought a few things, and I popped in for a few minutes of America Rocks. The cast are OK. From there, we headed to Lido for dinner at 8…where I had run in #2 of the day with Deli Lady. I asked for the tomato & mozzarella sandwich, and she asked if I really needed arugula on it. I said yes, it isn’t the same without, and she sighed and told me she would be right back. 11 minutes later (yes I timed her) she returned with the arugula, and of course a line had formed by then. She huffed and puffed about the line and gave me my sandwich with no smile.

The wrap was garbage. The chicken tasted weird, so I went back up and got a steak & cheese. Much better!! We headed to the Havana area and spent all afternoon there. Keshore has learned my drink of choice and sees me coming now and just mixes them up for me. 😂 We hung in the pool & hot tub until about 630, then decided to wander about the ship.

We got back onboard at 2 and went to the deli for provisions. My “friend” was there, and was a bundle of joy. A man asked for a sandwich with extra cheese…she told him no. A lady asked for a BLT with no lettuce, and she said “no menu substitutions” and threw it on anyway. What the??? I asked for the Southwest wrap, no fries, and got half a wrap with fries. Ummmmm…
