We should be on this cruise but as we’re from the UK we had to cancel due to us not being allowed into the states yet ☹️ We’ll be there in spirit with you, have a drink for us please 😊 Hey Teampayne2, always happy to take one for the team, I'll down a Painkiller tonight! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to adjust our wardrobe options. @Dreamer1961 There are several "Ironing rooms" available. I don't remember the exact locations but there were at least 4 aboard. I peeked in one and it looked like you'd expect, just a plain utility room to use an iron. No self serve washers or dryers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Boys and Girls, I got tested today and Drumroll please, NEGATIVE....... Time to get amped up finally going on a cruise after 18+ Months and Now I can't wait to get aboard. My live probably will be a bit Rumbly and I will be doing picture overload. I suppose I should say a bit about myself, Most of my Cruising experiences have been Carnival and continue to be Carnival but I have sailed Royal Twice and have two NCL Cruises booked and a MSC Cruise booked in October (Because $500 for a balcony seven day cruise is just absurd to pass up.) I tend to sail solo, Or with my girlfriend whenever she can get off which has only been a few times. I live north of Tampa Florida I am a Paramedic and I am a very avid Lightning, Bucs. Rays and Gators Fan having season tickets to the Gators. I am 31 but I still love carnival although I may age and move onto other lines it hasn't happened yet. Two Days, Fourteen hours and ten minutes to go though and I am pumped. Go Gators! Also a Season Ticket Holder - can't wait until Sept. 4! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ships have a guest laundry with washers, dryers, and ironing boards with irons. On Mardi Gras you only have the ironing rooms, not a full self-serve laundry. I think the person asking the question makes use of the ironing boards and irons in the self-serve laundry on other ships, and it's notable that MG doesn't have exactly that. I don't think people fully realize they still have the option to iron their own clothes if they want, without trying to smuggle an iron onboard (fire hazard, prohibited). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We prefer freshly ironed. When it was noted that laundry rooms were unavailable, I wanted to verify if that included ironing stations. I’m happy to hear they are still onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WhaleTailFlCruiser Posted August 23, 2021 Author #186 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Apologies for my late start but since my excursion doesn’t leave until 1pm I decided to sleep in today actually I had set my alarm for 930 since we weren’t supposed to dock until after 10am but I looked and we had already docked so I went back to sleep lol. Anywho this is only the second time I have eaten in the buffet this cruise lol. So I walked out onto deck and almost landed on my back….. with like three crew members behind me I wasn’t expecting the deck to be quite so soaked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted August 23, 2021 #187 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Following and REALLY loving this live review! Don't think we will be cruising on MG anytime soon as we have gotten to the point in our lives where we do not enjoy all the crowding. When we sailed Vista and Horizon we just felt those ships were TOO crowded and that was before Covid mess. Still love reading reviews and watching You Tube videos of ships!

Rare WhaleTailFlCruiser Posted August 23, 2021 Author #190 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So it’s only 84 outside but that isn’t what makes it feel awful it’s the humidity at 80% so that’s fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
