Perhaps a Silly Question...

[imgurahl]

DW and I are set for our very first cruise on Carnival Magic in 2 weeks. 10 year anniversary and first time we've had alone time since the wedding day, so very much looking forward to it.

 

Here's the silly question. What I want most from this trip is to lay next to the pool and have someone bring me daiquiris with little umbrellas in them. Is that realistic or romanticized? On board/off board, doesn't matter. Just one little umbrella to bring home...

Not silly at all! If and when you see a pool waiter, tell them you will be ordering frequently, so they'll keep coming back to you. An additional tip of the tab will assure you they will return!

 

You can get an umbrella at any bar...just ask!

That is an easy wish to have filled. Just find a lounger by the pool and lie back. A waiter will magically appear and take your order.

 

Have a great cruise

finding a chair next to the pool-- ???

 

On carnival especially the first day waiters will be out in full force asking you to buy a drink. Drinks are not free-- and you will sign for them each and every time

 

You will have bar waiters in the show lounge too

along with the dining room

Not silly and very realistic.

Not only does it sound realistic, but it sounds like paradise - which is why cruising is so great!

Getting the umbrella drink brought to your lounger : easy-peasy.

 

Getting a lounger next to the pool : not so easy-peasy. You can get one somewhere but there are only so many right by the pool and many of your 4,000 plus fellow cruisers will want them as well.

Just be realistic to know that the pools are actually quite small. Sea days open loungers may be hard to find... Make sure to check out the Serenity deck... adults only area. I've not cruised Magic, but have enjoyed other Carnival Serenity decks. Bon Voyage!!

 

Also - Since its your first cruise, don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy!!! You may just become addicted as we are.

Plan on spending a LOT of time on Serenity. 3 kids 8 and under that I love very much, but sometimes Mommy and Daddy need a break! :)

 

Thanks for the replies, will have an umbrella in your names!

Wow that will be a break but I am sure you will still be thinking about them. have a great time and have several umbrella drinks!

If you stay on board ship during one of your port stops you'll find the pool area much less crowded and I would suspect the waiters even more attentive than their normal fine service. Definitely not a bad way to spend the day if you don't have anything planned on shore.

When I've been on carnival, I can't turn around without someone offering me a drink. You shouldn't have any trouble. There are a lot of chair hogs by the pool, but I can usually snag one when I want it.

[imgurahl]

But do those drinks have umbrellas in them???

It's like when I was in school and the teacher said define Apathy. I said i don't know and I don't care. I got an A. Wait and be surprised.
