Rare Radio Posted June 15, 2010 Author #69 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hello everyone. . . . We were able to leave at about 540PM today. I’m not sure why we left late, but I did see new passengers still coming on board as late as 515PM. There were a ton of passengers out on deck at sail away. The Activities staff were getting passengers on deck involved with dancing, and there was a lot of music.(it was pretty good music too) The Carnival Seaside Theatre captured everyone on the big screen as they were dancing, and having a good time. We Pre Paid gratuities, and were signed up for Your Time Dining. I went to the Platinum dining room shortly after we boarded to ask the Hostess when would be a good time to arrive with no waiting. She said that it all depends on the cruise, but ((Most)) of the time there will never be a wait if you arrive before 7PM. For tonight she was right, as we were seated immediately as we arrived at 630PM. I had the fried Shrimp, Gazpacho, and some wonderful Lasagna. . .it was very good. The service was excellent. We had a great wait staff. (I will try to get all of the menus scanned (and posted) when I return home). The Camelback Casino was very nice to me tonight, and I hope that my luck will remain steady for a few days ! (There is no charge for taking out cash when you put it on your Players Bank through your Fun Pass Card) I am going to the Welcome Aboard Show, down in the Amber Palace with our CD (Jorge Solano)at 1030PM. Tomorrow will be a long day, and I need a little shut-eye. There will be lots of things to do, and lots of photos to take. I should be posting a few times as well ! Here are a few pics of our departure from New York City. . . .More pics tomorrow ! Thanks for all of the nice comments, and thanks for tuning in. . . Radio The Sun came out for a little bit today, be soon faded back behind the clouds. We are almost ready to leave Pier 90. We pull away slowly. . . A tugboat guides us away from the pier We make it past the Statue of Liberty We get close to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as we sail to open ocean on our way to Canada. It is still very cloudy, but no rain ! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryman50 Posted June 15, 2010 #71 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Radio, If you go to the casino bar please ask for Catherine and tell her that James & Kerry say hello. We just got off The Glory today and she was great. Ask her for a RED Carnival pen and she will definitely get a good laugh. Have a fantastic cruise,we did and I'm looking forward to your "LIVE REVIEWS". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
