Rare Jamman54 Posted June 1, 2018 Author #551 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I’m getting thirsty so I get out of the water to flag down a bar waiter….. He is offering a cooler bag filled with 6 ice-cold Bud Lights for $49. A little steep but I accept….. I’m a happy guy now! Now that I have my beer I head back out into the water….. To be continued…..

FLCruise7 Posted June 3, 2018 #564 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Enjoying your review Jeff (and of course, Patti's great pictures)! We're fast approaching Platinum status - 2 more cruises (or it should be one but they can't find my first two cruises in their system). Question about the ship film they show during your Platinum/Diamond party - do the ships date all the way back to Carnival's beginning? Our first two cruises were on the Mardi Gras & Carnivale. Wondering if they're in the film?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you can send them those and get credit for those cruises. Good luck! To answer your question, they show ALL of Carnival's ships in the video. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted June 3, 2018 Author #570 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Here is another view of the vendor stalls. Cash only….. If you rent a cabana, villa, or the oasis, towels will be provided. Otherwise, remember to bring your beach towels from your cabin. If you forget, or don’t want to carry them, there is a towel hut set up by Rumrunners Bar….. This is the way back to the tenders, but we won’t be leaving for quite a while….. Patti noticed that the kid’s splash pad was up and running….. To be continued…..

marty1950 Posted June 3, 2018 #572 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hey there Jeff. You look so relaxed Don't miss the tender back to the ship. You would't want to be stuck on the Island now would you? Ha Ha Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLCruise7 Posted June 4, 2018 #573 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks for following along! Do you have boarding passes or embarkation photos from your missing cruises? If so you can send them those and get credit for those cruises. Good luck! To answer your question, they show ALL of Carnival's ships in the video. :cool: I'll have to go through some boxes of old pictures. Pretty sure I don't have boarding passes, but we probably bought the pictures. These were our very first cruises (1989 and 1990). Thanks for the suggestion. The funny thing is that they show on my husband's profile (and that he's been cruising since 1989 while mine starts with 1995). Also, our member numbers are way different! I think they assigned me a new number in 1995 and lost the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted June 4, 2018 Author #575 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The beach has gotten a little more crowded and it looks like the sun is coming out….. The tenders are still leaving the Conquest full of passengers….. Patti decides that she is going to take the long walk down to the Pegasus Ranch to check out the horses. She takes some pictures of all the high numbered cabanas on the way.These are cabana #’s 10 & 11…… These are cabana #s 12 & 13, along with Villa “E”….. These are cabana #’s 14 & 15…… Looking back down the beach towards the entrance….. To be continued….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
