Knights on the Beach

10:00 -10:30 is the earliest time slot. Just depends on how many select that one before your check in date is available. On our FB group for this week and last, a number of people (who checked in 14 days prior) were able to get that or 10:30 - 11:00.

Stephanie, we found out today Setyo will be on Vista until June and then moving over to Mardi Gras in late August. We're super happy about that since we're on MG again in September.

Yes, definitely. I just made the wrong assumption that it was always made with Patron. And it wasn't on the menu so I was going off my memory of when I got it on Celebration at the Pig & Anchor Bar. They have fresh lime juice at Blue Iguana but not all the bartenders there having been using it this week. So we just order from the one who does. 😊

We had one made with 1800 Reposado today. As soon as that bartender walked away, we dumped it out and ordered from the bartender who makes it with Patron. We haven't been able to get anywhere near Alchemy - our timing has been terrible.

Let's take a little poll. What kind of tequila do you think should go in a Cadillac Margarita? We got 2 (each) today and they were both different. We tossed half of #2 and ordered another. We're not mad and we have it figured out, just curious what everyone thinks is the norm.

Thank goodness, I think. 😂

You must have been out later than us, we were there for a couple hours too!

I'd be willing to bet it was. She was there in December 2022. I forgot to say, also at Red Frog Tiki during the day.

Kittycat, there is a Melissa who was at Alchemy and Fortune Teller on Mardi Gras. But this FABULOUS Melissa we met at Center Stage Bar, then she was a Java Blue and Brass Magnolia, all on MG. I thought she was headed to Pride after that but she actually went to Panorama.

Atrium Bar! I couldn't believe it. We had 2 Mocha Chocolate Getaways and 4 bottles of water. 🤣

@Jamman54, @TxTeach79 and any other fans of the fabulous bartender Melissa, she is on Vista!! Good thing we're on a B2B because we just found her today. 🤦‍♀️

The pizza has been awesome, all 4 times we've had it. I don't know if it's because we haven't had any since December or what, but we love it. lol Yeah I have no idea what deli lady's name it but like @Jamman54 said, that's her name for now. Sadly, we avoided the deli tonight. On a good note, we met your fav at the Ocean Plaza Bar this morning and went back tonight for a few champagne drinks. She was able to make Christine's Fav (from Golden Jubilee on Celebration) though she had to call her supervisor to get the ok. I guess they added it to their system and she showed the other bartender how to make it. So yay!

So we spent some quality time with Jeff and Patti at Red Frog Pub. When we noticed we were moving, we parted ways and Mark and I somehow ended up in the pizza line. Twice. 🤷 Then moved over to Tides bar. No Keshore. We were ignored for about 30 minutes but we entertained ourselves talking to some 21 y/o kids. Finally got drinks and made some new friends, a 20 something guy and his dad. Then hit the deli. Oh Lordy, Precious still works there. 🤦

Thank you! We met Jeff and Patti in line. 😊

Our taxi driver was early, we arrived at the port at 9:08. They're not letting anyone in the terminal yet. Waiting in the priority line to go in. There's a wedding party here too so I think they'll go in first.

Thank you Stephanie and a big thank you to entertaining us this past week while we waited oh so patiently for our turn to board. 😊 I missed the Vista's arrival this morning! Marine Traffic shows you arrived at 4:45 am so that's probably why the ship was cleared so early. Thank you for bringing her back safe and sound, we'll take good care of her! This morning's views from our front and back doors. Usually you can't pull me away from our back view but today I'll be running out the front door!! 😍

That's exactly what I do as well - no huevos!

Thanks so much for posting your live review! We love Mardi Gras and really enjoyed following along with you this week. 😍 6 minutes is even better. 😊

Add me to the list as well! 🙋‍♀️ I'm not a chardonnay drinker at all (champagne for me!) but I thought it was OK.

We have the steakhouse booked for the second week but we only booked it because our friends wanted to go. And they cancelled their cruise last month. lol Oh well, we decided to go anyway. We want to do lunch at the other two but haven't booked dinner at either. We'll wait until we get on the ship and see how we feel and if there's availability.

That chicken parm looks delicious! I always get that when it's on the menu. I think you can go back a day in the app to access menus if you'd like to screenshot those. Are you planning to go to JiJi's or Cucina this week?

Oh hell no, even this looks scary to me! I mean, the water is gorgeous but that stairway?? Nope!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Well I was actually thinking wait till those complainers see Voodoo Moon - they'll blow a gasket! 😂 I think that show is my all-time favorite on Carnival, though I had to watch it 2 times in a row before I figured it out. lol

And Setyo will be our new best friend in the mornings! I hope there's a good show there (people watching) like there was on Celebration. 🤦‍♀️😂
