Also at many of the bars. 😎

When we were on the Mardi Gras they had 3 Comedy Showcases in the main theater. You still had to line up 45 minutes before if you wanted a good seat. 😎

We seem to book more on the port side, no rhyme or reason. Maybe we like even numbers. 😁

On our Mardi Gras B2B in April we had 5400 on the first leg, 5800 on the second leg. It was crowded, but you learn to deal with it. Such as lining up 45 minutes ahead of time for the comedy club and theater. For Center Stage we got there an hour early to get good seats on the floor up front. Heck, there was a line for Build a Bear! 😁 Edited to add that we still booked a B2B on the Celebration next April! 😁

I expect those bookings to disappear tomorrow or Sunday.

Will you be taking us to Fishlips later?

Enjoy your planning! 😎

Yep. Funny how they are waiting until Monday, coincidentally the same day that the Carnival Venezia itineraries are being announced.

We will be parking at the pier. You can probably do better cost wise by parking off site, but we don't like doing the shuttle thing. We just like getting in the car and going once our cruises are over. See you on board on the 16th! 🤗

So sorry about your pony. Safe travels tomorrow. 😎

Really enjoying your review! Thanks for taking us on the Valor. Meet you at the Blackjack table!

Don't worry, you'll find it. It will be on the left hand side shortly after you pass the port entrance.

We noticed the decline of the Radisson even before the pandemic, so when we booked our B2B on the Mardi Gras last April, we decided to try out the Hampton Inn / Home2 Suites. It is a fairly new property, and it is closer to the port entrance than the Radisson, and on the other side of Astronaut Blvd. The hotels are set back so they are hard to see from the Blvd. We have a ton of pictures of the property starting on page 1 of our B2B Mardi Gras review, which is in my signature. We liked it so much we will be going back there in January before our Freedom cruise. We know that there was some type of shuttle service to the pier from there, but don't know if it was affiliated with the hotels. Like you, we also prefer to park at the port.

Looking forward to this! 🤗

As stated above, if your excursion was canceled during the cruise, the refund would have been credited to your sail and sign account. If canceled before the cruise it would have been credited back to the original form of payment. Which was it? 😎

Agreed. Would love to see 10, 12, 14 day itineraries. 😎

You jinxed yourself! 😁

What wasn't confirmed is if the Venezia will be the second ship sailing out of New York this summer, or is she replacing the Magic, as it appears per the 2023 Bermuda Port Schedule. Also, if the Venezia is going to sail from NYC year round, she's going to have some longer, more exotic itineraries during the winter. 7 or 8 day Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport itineraries aren't going to cut it. 😎

Couldn't have said it better. My PVP automatically takes care of this for me, but I'm so anal that I'll always stop at Guest Services during the first leg just to make sure! 😁

OP stated that he didn't have insurance.

Just missed again. We are on the 1/7 sailing. 😎

Very nice! We'll be on her in January. Thanks for sharing! 😎

She does look good. We'll be on her in January! 😊

Have a great cruise Jimbo. You certainly deserve it! 😎

The bowling alley balconies on the Dream and Vista classes are all the way aft on decks 6,7,& 8 next to the aft wraps. 😎
