There should be a paper posting of the dinner menu in the display case outside the MDR. You could old school it with pen and paper instead of the QR code. Seems there are many of us who board a ship and lock up phones. Hopefully the “word” will make it through to the decision makers. A paper dinner menu in the display case - what a unique idea - and wherever else something needs to be posted - we can read! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemson Cruiser Posted July 6, 2021 Author #227 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sorry the slow response. The WiFi is not working well. Even paradeejay mentioned no live vlog due to the upload speed. I’ll read comments and get back after we grab food. Today was Amber Cove 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to use my phone for a menu. I dislike doing it in any restaurant. I like paper books and menu! We go on the pride on Thanksgiving week.

As already stated, there are many of us who do not want to use our phones while cruising. Maybe a separate Thread should be started to see how many feel the same way.

In one of John Heald's posts, he mentioned that you didn't need a WiFi package or even the hub app to access the menus and other content through the QR codes. So I'm doubting that there has been a significant increase in people purchasing and using Wi-Fi because of this change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted July 6, 2021 #236 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks for taking us along on your journey for this momentous occasion! I've loved living vicariously through you, some of my friends on the ship (If you meet Mark & Jason from Columbus, OH tell them Misty says HI! - they are likely at Blue Iguana Tequila Bar or Alchemy!), and John Heald's posts on FB. I admit I've gotten a bit teary eyed watching John greeting guests coming into the terminal and onto the ship, seeing the excitement of all of the crew and watching Mardi Gras escort Horizon out to sea. Literal goosebumps! I last cruised to Cuba in April, 2019 and don't have one booked (for now anyway) until October, 2022! I'm dying to cruise though! Enjoy the rest of your trip...can't wait to read more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson Cruiser Posted July 6, 2021 Author #243 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Dinner last night, formal night. Prime Rib with the Caesar salad and Sicilian meatball soup to start. Mine was delicious. paul had 2 shrimp cocktails and Caesar salad plus 2 lobster tails and the flat iron steak. He wasn’t very pleased with the shrimp or lobster. Overcooked and rubbery. The wait staff was more than accommodating to bring out another entree so no one should leave the dining room dissatisfied. aorry for the upside down pics. I have no idea why it’s doing that 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amber cove port was requiring face masks. This is out of Carnival’s control. We only stayed at the pool area since we have done other excursions in the past. Once at the pool everyone was unmasked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious if they are still doing activities in the Oceans Plaza like trivia during the day, crafts, etc? Also, how about karaoke, comedy shows and non production shows in the main theater like Welcome Aboard, Love & Marriage, Lip Sync Karaoke? Lastly, is BINGO happening in the same process as before? Yes! Trivia and the usual activities in Ocean Plaza. Have not been to any shows yet, but they do have them in the main theater and comedy in the Limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
