  1. The link in your signature is not working for both your reviews and picures
  2. Looks like you guys are on "Stubby" . I am looking forward to your review of the Spirit, I am on her in October out of Mobile. We are going to have to sail together again sometime.
  3. My Wife her Aunt and Uncle and myself just got off the Paradise, and I have a few thoughts and a few ship happens, and two Oh Ships The good: MDR food was exelent, was brought hot well prepared food(except melting cake) Aunt was Glutian intolerant and head waiter took order for next day, and she said her food was good. Mr Sancho's was fun. Stateroom stewerd was excellent. 80's pop to the max was a good show 80's rock and glow was a lot of fun Ship Happens Waintress forgot multi apps, sides and such, no big deal, but still annoying Annoying loud drunk trying to be a fun squad member seeking attention every day. Member of playlist goes down with voice problem, show canceled and replaced with 2nd Deal or No Deal(will get back to THAT!) Excursion cancelled becuse sandbar for stingrays unsafe(not carnivals fault) Comedian told a guest that there voice sounded racest(I know comedy is subjective that is why I didn't go back to see him) Oh Ship Aunt and Uncle's room on M130 got flooded and had to move rooms to R69 only offered $50 for inconvenance, and had to move luggage themselfs Now I understand that they had to go to the room advaliable, and I understand that sometimes something braks and needs repaired, but IMHO this is a downgrade. They had a mid ship ocean view on deck 5 and got moved to a forward deck 4 OV. now that we are off the ship nothing they do will matter, but still. Played Deal Or No Deal both nights, and won bingo package both nights, went to get bingo pacage and they said for night one they couldn't find my name, and second night we only had one match on each card. I'll let the second night go, but went to guest services and they said we had won the pingo pacage, but could do nothing about it becuse it was the last night and the prise was unclamed. the bingo host came down to talk to us, and said there wasn't much she could do either, but she gave us a couple of SOAS for not being jerks, and in her defence she tried to make things right but couldn't do much becuse it was last sea day. I'm not going to complain about the ship, becuse I like the small ships, and honestly the paradise moved smothly, and I didn't even feel when the captian did a 180 to back into Tampa Port Thank you for reading
  4. Jim, just wanted to tell you how much I love your cruising vids. What ship are you and your wife on?
  5. IMHO, the reason DCL is going back to old scool muster is becuse people are not doing there muster drill. The cruise lines need to make an example of the people who refuse t go to there muster by disebarking them. An hour before sail Away should be last call for muster if you don't get to yours by 45 min before sail away, you get kicked off the ship, no refund.
  6. In case you didn't know Jeff, there was an outbreak of Covid on the Mardi Gras that we saild on, I wound up with "Cruise Crud" which I think was a mild case of Covid, but never got tested. One of my co workers that was on the sailing did get it, and many people on the facebook group said that got it.
  7. I am platnim on Carnival, and I am entitled to Free Drinks for the entirty of my time in the Bay. $100 OBC, A personal Apology from Ms Duffy for the lack of water on Tampa Bay, and a free cruise becuse I am am an extra special entitled Person 🙂 Back to the real world, I hope everyone in the path of that storm is OK.
  8. Carnival is cutting back on water to Tampa Bay. Need to write to John Heald about this.
  9. They can aways tender in in grand turk
  10. It does not dock, you will be using tenders in Grand Caymen
  11. While Raidance could be redeployed anywhere and can go though the Panamal Cannal, Panarama can not do that so to redeploy somewhere other than the west coast or the Pacific would require it to go down to the tip of South America and arould.
  12. I don't know what Jeff and Patty's final thoughts are about the Mardi Gras, but, here are mine since I was on it with them on the second leg, these are my views and may or may not be your views there views or anybody elses. The Good: New freindships, Loves the space of the ocean view room(same as Jeff except no balcony) New free dining choices, Guys Burger changing fries. Soda fountians on deck 8 and lido. Lee Masion the Cruise Directoe was one of the best we have ever had just behind Josh Waitzman as best I have ever had. The Bad and Ugly: This ship was just to big for one week, and they had to much going on at one time, for example, one night they had 2 comedians going at the same time in both the punch liner and the Limelight lounge, Family Feud in the main lounge, and Play List in the Central area. Food in MDR was sub par, it wasn't bad but lacking, something seemed off a little, and I will chock that up to short staffing. Design Flaws on the ship. I realise that this is the first of the class in carnival, but There is a walkway right though Guest Services, The public Bathrooms were horably designed and not enough public bathrooms. Odd placement for Guys Burgers. Over all not a bad cruise. would I cruise on Mardi Gras again.....for the right Itenary I would otherwise no. I am a cheep cruiser, I don't do Specialty Restrants, Don't Drink, don't spend money in the casino and only get the bubbles just for convenance, but on my next cruise will be taking my soda onboard. Where would I place Mardi Gras cruise on my list of cruises, Probly towards the bottom half, I have not really had a bad cruise. Thank you
  13. I can conferm that is still the case. Ann and I went to Paradise Beach, witch was nice, and had there pool all to ourselfs for hours.
  14. We were on this boat, and got back late barly made it to the MDR
  15. This is the day We met Patty and started to get to know her and you. It is always a good thing when you make freinds on a cruise, always happens. By the way Tyler has been promoted and will be on the Escasy as her final cruise director and we will be on it with him 🙂
  16. Honestly I hated the old guys fries, I like the regular ones you can get now especily with no seasoning(cutting salt where I can)
  17. Finaly getting to the second week. Ann and I are really looking forward to it.
  18. Soooo looking forward to this review, Ann and I really enjoed meeting you and Patty and talking with you guys 🙂
