Isn't it fun to post a review and people enjoy it???? I love that my zany friends have joined in!!!:D:D

More pictures please Sheila on "Donna's Review"......ha-ha! Keep em coming, we love them:D

 

Thanks, Donna, but don't want to take over your review or spoil it. I honestly think (before I go into too many details) I should start my own review. This has been GREAT therapy for me! I called and cancelled my anger management class today! BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

 

Seriously---I would really like to tell the good and the bad of my cruise. It might actually be a hit and save me tons of money in therapy and anger management? LOL

Again, thanks for the great review and the pictures. I love seeing different perspectives of the ship and ports. Everyone seems to post diff pictures and thats great.

Love the photo of you and your husband. Very handsome couple.. . Love your hair style. I have been thinking of cutting mine like that.;;Although it prob won't look as good on me as it does you.

Can't wait til my May cruise...

Donna, Sheila and Andrae - Thanks for making my night! Sheila, I enjoyed the video.:p

 

 

Kathy, did I ever meet you or see you on the ship? I'm so sorry I didn't figure out until the end of the cruise that the meet and greet party was at a bar I was NOT at? LOL I just thought Andrae and Donna showed up...wondered where everyone else was? They were at the pool in the back of the ship...I thought that was the bar where the meet and greet was going to be held! hehehe Oh well....just wanted to apologize for not being where I was supposed to have been, but I "tried"! Glad we made your day today! :) Where is your review, missy? :D

My review is here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1151709 First time I've posted pictures in a review since I started posting on CC!:o (I'm really proud of the iguana picture I took in Grand Cayman.)

 

Sorry we never caught up with each other. I met Andrae during the "Behind the Fun" tour. I'm just glad we had a great roll call and a really fun cruise!:D

Great review. I love reading about others cruises. We just got of the Dream in Jan.

 

One question I have is - did Carnival do anything special to celebrate Valentine's day while onboard??? I want to book next year same time and wondering since it is my DH's birthday on that day too!

 

Thanks.

Thank you, thank you , thank you Donna, Sheila, & Andrae!!! I LOVED this review! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I CAN'T WAIT until April, and I'm on the Conquest. I was ROTFLMAO @ the pics, comments, and especially the "Frito Bandito." I've even posted the link to it (and Kathy's) on my 4/11 roll call to share w/ my fellow cruisers. THANKS AGAIN. Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

[Taking advantage of Donna's invitation to jump in] They did some special Valentine's Day-themed photos, a special chocolate dessert in the dining room (it was really good) and red carnations for the ladies.

We were sitting at the table right behind you Made' (the waiter) in the picture where he is singing in the ketchup bottle! We had a great table too... and we always noticed that your table was having a lot of fun! :)

 

Did you notice on the last night that Made' was getting frusterated with Raul (the asst. waiter) really bad! It was kinda funny, because Raul always had that huge smile on his face. It was like it didn't bother him if things weren't going perfect or not- he was just having fun!

 

Hi drparker82! I can't believe you were sitting right behind us!!! We had some really "unsual" things, or shall I say characters :rolleyes: sitting at the big table for 10. The DH and I actually sat at a table for 2 but joined the festivities with the big table. They made our dining at night more fun!!!:D What did you think of the cruise??? It was fantastic, right?

Thanks for the hair props!:) If you can believe it, my husband's barber cuts it!!:eek: I had been getting really bad hair cuts so my husband suggested his barber (that he's being going to for over 30 years) and reluctantly I decided to try him out. He's WONDERFUL, luv ya Dave;)

You're a blondie too, I'm sure it would look really good on you:)

G'Morning everyone...OK, I'll post a few pictures of mine to share with the others. (Not to hi-jack the thread, but add to it) I'll start off with a few pictures on the ship.

 

 

This is Shivon. She remembered us when we sailed the Conquest last year during the superbowl. I think she is from Trinidad, and she was very nice. She works in the jewelry store.

See ya Galveston, and Voyager of the Seas... Bon Voyage

Now a few from Jamaica

 

Pulling into Jamaica, we were saw that we were in the presence of MSC Peosia. I think it is from Ft. Lauderdale.

IMG_1288.jpg

 

This is I. Ready to get into some Jerk anything!

IMG_1295.jpg

 

The Marching Band saluting us as we get ready to depart.

IMG_1319.jpg

 

This is Candy. Our wonderful tour guide.

IMG_1318.jpg

 

One of the locals doing wood carvings. He said that a lot of his work is sold to major hotel chains. His work was amazing and I did not snap one picture of his work. He truly was skilled and gifted.

IMG_1313.jpg

 

This is KFC. From what we discovered, the KFC in Jamaica is the busiest in the world.

Here's a few from Cayman....

 

Lets go swim with the Dolphins

IMG_1368.jpg

 

There were 4 cruise ships in port

IMG_1374.jpg

 

Whole fried jerk Red Snapper... It was $15 a plate, but I would've paid $50. This was the best food I've had in my life. It was sold right on the strip as you get into Cayman at a tent. Fresh from the locals.

IMG_1380.jpg

 

Postcard ready. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful water.

IMG_1376.jpg

 

fresh coconut milk from the local.

Let's head over to Mexico. This was/is my favorite port of call.

 

This was a man posing as a clay statue

TWINS

IMG_1411.jpg

 

OK. Let me explain this one. You know when you go to a bachelor or bachlorette party and they have those cakes that the people pop out of. Well we were at Fat Tuesdays and people were popping in and out the whole time. Well she comes along and decided that she wanted in on the action. To our surprise she did more than pop in and out. She gave us the entire show. At this point, we already had a few drinks and we were live.

IMG_1421.jpg

 

I love this picture. This was taking on the pier as we were headed back to the ship.

IMG_1424.jpg

 

This is my gang. As you can see, the Valor was backing out.

IMG_1430.jpg

 

It attacked me

This was delivered to our room after we'd taking the Behind the fun tour. $95 and well worth it. Book as soon as you board the ship, (or as soon as the excursion desk opens) as it was only limited to 16 people per group and ONLY 2 groups.

 

IMG_1434.jpg

 

I bought my honey a cake from Bon Voyage

IMG_1155.jpg

 

This was one of the teams, (red, white & blue) at the casino bar before the MardiGras deck party. She was tearing the dance floor up.

IMG_1252.jpg

 

This is Sheila (jstanokiegal) & I. This was taking after she won the air guitar contest. You go gal! That's my CC pal and she's lovely.

IMG_1269.jpg

 

This is mother dearest dancing the conga line during the deck party. That was tons of fun.

Lets post some eye candy. My favorite of them all.

 

I won't post the lobster from captains night. Seen it once, you've seen 'em all. But here is a dessert. Can't remember the name, but it was caramel apples

IMG_1196.jpg

 

This is from the steakhouse, AKA "The Point".

Surf and Turf

IMG_1216.jpg

 

New England Crab Cake. This was the bomb.

IMG_1213.jpg

 

This is some extra appetizers that the chef sent with compliments. I don't know why, but we loved it. I guess since we were a big group

IMG_1211.jpg.IMG_1212.jpg

 

Escargot. DELISH....
