Synthetic Posted October 3, 2012 #203 Share Posted October 3, 2012 jamona - Firstly, thank you so much for the detailed review! I truly enjoyed each posting and your comments. I am cruising on Esctasy in November as part of a back-to-back (Ecstasy then Sensation). As a 'foodie' I am now rethinking my activities and perhaps will book the Chef's Table. Seems like you really enjoyed that event. Did they only have Champagne or were there wines with the meal (I assume there were waiters to order from, but what was included in the price of the event)? Also - coincidentally you had Cabana #9, I had that one last year for my HMC day and loved it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im kinda sad its done with now:rolleyes: There was champage on the tour part and that was also where we got out starters. Kind of an on the go thing. At dinner there were 3 glasses at my setting, one was water the other white wine and the third red. At the beginning of the sit down they asked what we'd like. I said yes to all. Most did. After that they just toped off as we went along. No ordering needed. I hope you do this. It really was amazing and very special! Theres really no way you can not enjoy it. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahsmomtoo Posted October 3, 2012 #205 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Special coins minted just for the ship. Ive heard every ship has them for good luck when they are built. I know there have been other Ecstasy review where ppl have found them but I couldnt. Poo They are supposed to be blessing coins for safe passage.. I found the Splendor coin last week...( it is mounted opposite the waterslide entrance ) and am now obsessed LOL Love your review !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding you can email shoreexcursions@carnival.com after you have paid for your cabana... send them your booking info.. and pick a cabana.. but I would love to know for sure !!

princessjanee Posted October 3, 2012 #211 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Last time I booked one it as assigned to you once you were on the ship and underway... Dunno if that has changed... That's what I thought...but in Jamona's review....on boarding the ship she mentions that she already had cabana #9 confirmed by emailing ahead of time...didn't know you could do that....she also mentions she learned of that by reading it on CC...just wondering:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsjjkelly Posted October 5, 2012 #223 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just out of curiosity, was the Hasbro family game show thing on the Ecstasy when you were there? On John heald's blog, he mentioned that it was on the ship. But I thought it was only on the newer ships. My kids are dying to know... Thanks!
