Folsom Posted April 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I will do a quick review in a day or so but I always like it when other CC members open it up to questions right after the voyage. Cheers -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linga Posted April 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Was on the same cruise. One of our best ever! I'll also do a short review. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeek Posted April 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Speaking of beer, did you happen to notice the craft beer selections? I LOVE Cigar City beers so I was happy to hear Florida ships carried them. We are going on Conquest in July. I expect Cigar City will get most of my beer dollars. Is it still just Cracker and an IPA? Do you (or does anyone) know if or how often they rotate craft beer selections in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folsom Posted April 25, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I saw Cigar City on board, but never ordered one. They seemed to have 4-5 craft beers especially at the pool bars. I actually enjoyed the Red Frog especially 19oz for $6.95 -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our muster drill was done in plenty of time for sailaway, so if that is what you are referring to, then no it was not a ghost ship. As usual the drill seemed to take a while to get going, but once stated, was not to bad. Cheers -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folsom Posted April 28, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I was just on the Conquest April 16-24. What were the movie titles that were shown that week? I know they showed: Pitch Perfect 2 Jerassic World Star Wars (only one we watched) The Revenant (after midnight) Inside Out Transylvania something. -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare l2f Posted May 10, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Did you get the new cabin service AM or PM form? Was muster inside or outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy47 Posted May 10, 2016 #18 Share Posted May 10, 2016 do some people do the dress up thing on the two dress up nights. also did you see some people dress up nice the other nights? the reason I ask is because usually when we go on cruises my wife will wear dress and heels at night and I will a nice shirt and a nice pair of pants. we haven't been on carnival for along time and we don't want to feel out of place. I know carnival is very informal. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted May 11, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Honestly, I have no idea what other people have on. If you are seated up front then you can tell but it really makes no difference what anyone wears. My wife dressed every night for MDR but that's what she likes to do when we cruise. I had a pair of dress slacks and a polo, no tie. Others in our group had on jeans and collared shirt. As long as you didn't have shorts on, you were admitted. I see no reason to get dressed up for the level of food they serve and at the pace they serve. I would be more inclined to dress up for the Steak House than the MDR. I find it very over rated.

I know carnival is very informal. thank you There are people that get dressed every night and others that do not. You will not be out of place no matter your choice. I have seen men in tuxedos and women in gowns on elegant nights. Others dress more casual. Enjoy your cruise and dress to the nines if you like!!

Just curious in the event you had similar dining, how your servers were and any you would recommend? Thanks! Steve Our head waiter was Jhunior and he was very good as was his assistant Peter. We had table 302, early dining and thought that time worked well based on our port times. This is the first time we wen other than ATD and actually liked the set time better.

Folsom Posted May 12, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Did you do self assist? If so, what time were you off the ship? Thanks. No. we had FTTF so we had group 2, and put our luggage out the night before debark. We took our time and were probably off around 9:30. Be advised that the TSA lines in FLL were crazy long (1.5 hours). -F- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
