I was eating up at the buffet just now, and these two old ladies were just demanding and berating this poor girl almost to the point of tears... She was like "I want a hot coffee, very strong. A glass of hot water. Some apple juice, and some creamer, very cold" keep in mind, this is the buffet, not the dining room. Not that you should treat anyone like that in the dining room either... I suspect those people are like that even when not cruising. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HastaLaVistaBaby Posted September 25, 2019 #829 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Loving the play by play! Thanks for doing this. Hope you meet some fun people and have so much excitement you forget to update us over here at least one night! Speaking of which, I would love to know if the dancing at the Havana Bar at night is at hot as it was a few yrs ago when I was on the Vista. Hey, If you have time to look at the schedule for me I would love to know what time yoga class is. I can't wait for my cruise next week on the Horizon, though I have an entirely different set of ports (Ocho Rios, Cozumel, Cayman). Have such a great day! ✌️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heald said at the time (when they introduced the bacon police), bacon was far and away the most wasted item on the buffet. I have no idea if that's true, but it was the rationale. I'm doing the Chef's Table on the Ecstasy in November, and now I'm hungry! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must belong to that “new Carnival demographic” which upsets so many loyalty members on another thread. I’m guessing they maybe were loyalty members.

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 25, 2019 Author #832 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It's easy to tell where people are from oftentimes on the ship... They wear t-shirts from their hometown, wherever that may be... And, then you have the people from Canada. They will just walk right up to you, and say "hey, we're from Canada, eh"... 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listen for the coughing... I am cruising with my mom and Aunt on the Dream in January....both smokers. Found a room about 10 feet from the smoking area. I suspect I will be spending a lot of time by myself 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted September 25, 2019 Author #834 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I've come to the conclusion that I've brought wayyy to much clothing with me this time... I normally do an eight day cruise with just a carry on bag and my small backpack. This time, I checked a bag because I'm bringing back some liquor for the guys at work... The only thing I didn't consider was, that the bag was nearly full when I brought it. Now, I have to try and squeeze in two bottles of Hennessy. I may very well just abandon the clothes I wore yesterday to Sanoa Island... They're probably tainted for life by the stinky life vest... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted September 25, 2019 Author #836 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I went down to guest services and paid down my tab, so it didn't end up going on my credit card... And, a restroom pic just for the fun of it... Much nicer than the one yesterday... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can buy a backpack in the store to get the extra stuff home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
