Tides Bar Funship not so much. I think they used dark rum in the Tides Bar. Speaking of Funship....what's the difference in a Funship Special and a Pirate Punch? And is the cost the same?

watermelonqueen99 Posted September 9, 2019 #1155 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Finally caught up on your review. Enjoyed it as always. We were supposed to be on this cruise for my birthday on 8/25 but work conflicts/life stuff and then spinal cord injury problems got in the way. 🙄 Already looking forward to your next one. ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are an eagles fan you should always go for the afc team against an nfc team. Rams next week...pick a favorite. Cowgirls at the end of month on SNF...be a big Saints fan.

That sounds like a challenge to me! Greg, I'll wager a Funship Special against one of your favored Alchemy Bar drinks that the Cowboys will beat your Saints by a....a.....a....field goal? What say you? Any other takers? Only problem is, we'd have to meet up on a ship that sails out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canes20 Posted September 14, 2019 #1167 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Loved following you on your cruise. We are staying at Prytania on the 27th and parking at Fulton. What time do you think we should get to Fulton to get a good parking spot. Does the terminal open at 10:30? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Just staying one night at Prytania? I think they let you park there for free during the cruise if you stay two nights. Anyway...I usually would try to get to Fulton 30 minutes before I want to be at the terminal. So if you're trying to get to the terminal at 10:30, I would head to Fulton at 10. I think it's open at 10:30. I'm not a D/P/FTTF guy. The earliest arrival time I get is 11:30...So I'm never there before 11. They are always boarding when I get there so I think 10:30 is good.

canes20 Posted September 24, 2019 #1169 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Do you have a recommendation for somewhere to eat Friday night. Hoping to be checked in by 5pm Friday.

The owner there worked at Commander's Palace which is one of the biggest restaurants in New Orleans...where Emeril worked before he opened his own restaurant. Lula's also makes their own vodka, rum, and gin if you're into that. http://www.lulanola.com/menu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have the drink package? If so is it worth ir? I always get the drink package. It’s easily worth it to me. Just the two bloody marys I get in the morning and three alchemy drinks I usually get before dinner pay for the package. Everything else is gravy. It really depends on the person. This is one area where it’s better being solo because I don’t have to worry about someone else getting the package and whether or not it will be worth it for them. A lot of times couples will debate it because one will drink enough but the other won’t. I have had cruises where I drank enough to cover two packages though...my Dream cruises last year were like that.
