Better get your vaccinated gas in order...

 

It's not perfect but it's better than sitting through the message. I assume that's vaccinated guests and the blank is embarkation.

I miss the voicemail scribing feature. Verizon makes you pay for it, so I don't have it anymore. It's super useful.

Can't wait to follow along, love your previous reviews that I have read.

I will be joining you on this cruise.  I am beyond excited that I can finally get back on a ship  and can't imagine a better ship to start back on than the Mardi Gras.  I'll also be on her in February - figured it will take at least 2 trips to experience everything onboard.  Casino deals were just too good to pass up lol.

Oh yeah it’s nice to have but it wouldn’t be worth paying for. It looks like I use it 2-4 times a month.

Looking forward to following your journey. 
 

Enjoy!

[BigNance]

I’m looking forward to your review of this cruise!! 

[Terab85]

Looking forward to your review.  Since we haven't traveled in awhile, I've been living vicariously through you on your trip to Mexico. 

[SummerRoze]

I’m excited to follow a new review from you. Hope this trip makes up for your previous cancelled cruises.

Same. I don’t get that many calls to begin with and of the calls I get, the voice messages are even less.

For those of you who followed my Panorama trip, you may remember I had a traumatic experience near the end of the cruise.

 

The day was March 5, 2020. I was in the comedy club enjoying a very pleasant evening. All of the sudden this urchin on the other side of the aisle did something that would change me in a deep and profound way from that day on…He sneezed on me. I screamed out “I’M HIT!”

 

Over the past 18 months my account of the events of that night has come into question. Let’s go through it step by step.

I was seated in the back on the left side of the aisle.

 

 

 

The perpetrator was seated on the right side of the aisle.

 

 

 

First, I was struck on the right side of the neck.

 

It bounced off my neck and struck me again between my 3^rd and 4^th ribs.

 

It then ricocheted off my ribs and hit me in my right wrist causing me to drop my beer can.

 

 

 

It then paused in midair, took a right turn, and landed on my right thigh. That is some magic mucus.

 

The other controversial part is what happened to my head on the first hit. When I was hit in the neck my head went back and to the left.

 

 

Back and to the left

 

 

Back and to the left

 

 

Back and to the left

 

 

If the sneeze had come from across the aisle it would’ve caused my head to pitch to the left.

 

That means the sneeze must have come from the front and right.

 

There must have been a second sneezer!

 

From the chairs in front of the glassy pole.

 

 

But that’s not what “they” would like you to believe.

 

The sad thing is we may never know the real truth.

 

Hilarious!  I could hear Kevin Costner's voice narrating that whole thing!!  Looking forward to your Mardi Gras review, we go in December.

We'll be on the cruise with you....Getting our tests on Wednesday....

[mjrcruiser]

I love all of your reviews and I am especially excited for this one!  We aren’t sailing Mardi Gras until April and it can’t come fast enough.  Enjoy your cruise!!

Looking forward to climbing aboard MG with you next week Greg.  I am already regretting my decision to skip Rudi's in favor of the many other dining options, not because I actually wanted to go there, but now that it's too late I am suffering from post traumatic fear of missing out.  Jimbo and Tom and Cheryl loved it and surely you will too.  We never made it to Emeril's either in spite of good intentions.

Looking forward to your review!

Looking forward to your review, feeling that I need to book Mardi Gras now.  I need another booking like I need another hole in my head, but I have a feeling after following Twangster's review this week, and yours next week, that I will not be able to resist.

Really? I don't think I pay for mine (at least I never asked for it). I wonder if that's regional. The transcripts are pretty funny sometimes.

DO IT. It's a great ship with a mix of the old things we all like about Carnival and a lot of new things to usher in the next generation. . . that's not to say everything is perfect, but YMMV and how do you know if you don't paddle your own canoe?

I'm not sure! I'm in CA. When I tried to see if I could look at the VM transcript it gave me a popup about having to add it to our service plan and then gave me the costs. I wish it was just included.

That's all you needed to say 😄

We were on the cruise after your Panorama trip and will be on the Mardis Gras 9/4. Please don't try to squeeze an extra day in again. Thanks in advance!

Wahoo! I’m so excited!-in my Jessi Spano voice. 
While you are wandering around San Juan,  be sure to stop at Barrachina, the home of the original pina colada, to compare to the one in Nassau.
