  1. There was some discussion about choosing a 959am flight home was too risky. FLL is still closed due to the flooding but I'll be at MIA two hours ahead of flight time.
  2. After a good MSC casino haul, my first two days on Conquest were winners but yesterday and today I gave back everything plus about $400.
  3. The $5 clam chowder at Seafood Shack was good, although the little potato balls were more like gnocchi. Broth had really good flavor and the clams had good texture and flavor.
  4. The theme around most of ship is impressionist art period. I think it's great Carnival style.
  5. Regular Lido deck madness on last sunny day of the cruise, casino has been packed so I look forward to more madness tonight.
  6. Conquest has much nicer gaming tables than Divina, in the casino. I've never seen these tables with the integrated screens and fake marble before. Chair comfort is upgraded too.
  7. Debarkation info. I'm glad to see the 715am meet time because I have an early flight and MIA has that configuration where I always have to wait for a train to my gate after walking 5 miles and going through security.
  8. In the spirit of Epic Rap Battles of History (Obama vs Romney is still my favorite), today we have Guy's Burger Joint vs Carnival Deli. I usually like tomatoes on my burger but not un-fried green tomatoes.
  9. I helped close down the casino all three nights since I was playing with house money, but gave back $700. Fun times anyway. Roast beef on Lido looked really good but it was tough and not flavorful enough. Then I get back to the cabin around 3am and I'm greeted by a BAT.
  10. Like most people I really like the new look.
  11. If I don't have an excursion, every Cozumel visit includes a looonnngg lunch at La Mission. A mountain of amazing guac for $3, jungle atmosphere, fantastic free hot salsa and fresh fish for $16. I love this place.
  12. Yes it's past 3am and yes I had about 10 Cadillac margaritas, but Carnival pizza once again is great!
  13. Really great with the middle package, one of my best internet-at-sea experiences.
  14. Maybe my mistake, most were closed and others had long lines, I don't remember my source.
  15. Lunch lines at Guys burgers and Carnival deli were ridiculous today because the back-on-board time coincided with closure of all other Lido deck offerings.
  16. Great day in the casino for our entire table and somehow the entire table and some family members are all abuzz about this "new" drink I turned them onto, Cadillac Margarita. Which we all know is just an old favorite. Great fun times, I won $1,200 today and two at our table hit straight flushes on the new progressive bets!
  17. Key West sailaway panoramic pic refused to load, "server error" fivetimes, so no pic, sorry. . We miss the Key West magic, when the street performers and artists begin entertaining on the north-west pier at sunset. Key West comes alive at night.
  18. Best free food I've had on either ship. Smoked beef brisket too salty and if it really saw a smoker it couldn't have been for more than 15 minutes. Mac and cheese had watery cheese. But overall everything was pretty good.
  19. I expected an Italian cruise line to beat Carnival on both cappuccino and pizza since Italians invented both, but Carnival's pizza is still way better and tastes like pizza I had in Italy. To me, MSC pizza tasted like something out of the freezer.
