Rare ceilidh1 Posted October 10, 2021 #1702 Share Posted October 10, 2021 So sad this is all over - I was secretly hoping you would head to the desk and book the next sailing and stay on! The end means that I now have to actually do work while at work, rather than constantly refreshing this thread...thanks a lot!😜 Fantastic review, as always...really hoping that all the pieces fall into place for me to be able to test this ship out in Feb. I'm intrigued by it - I think I will really enjoy it, but it won't be the go-to line for me as I couldn't imagine regular vacations without my kiddos....but once in a while, mama gotta cut loose! Safe travels home! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But first, the Carnival Mardi Gras in November! Thanks for sharing your experience with us all!! We waited a long time for our cruise, and still have 229 days to go - so we will be on the same cruise as you in May! Safe travels home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1708 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Still another hour till my flight, but they just pushed the plane that was at the gate away with the push back truck... Something tells me that they're going to have to find another plane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1709 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Turns out, that wasn't my plane. Ours is on the ground and on the way to the gate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopedmom1 Posted October 10, 2021 #1712 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us. I'm glad the cruise exceeded your expectations in the end. Can't wait for the next one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1713 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Bags just being chucked and stacked without a single care for the contents. The only time I do it, is when I bring my mil spec heavy duty case to bring liquor back. Speaking of that, the guys at work are going to be mad that I didn't bring any Hennessy Pure White back for them. They'll have to wait until my Mardi Gras cruise when I do bring my heavy duty case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must put crack in that stuff. Just flew in from SAN, and the line for a freaking bagel was about 20+ people deep.. People must have nothing to do while waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted October 10, 2021 Author #1719 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I just got one good piece of news. The lady who originally sat next to me, let's just say that she was spilling over her allotted seating area. Well, eventually the person who's seat it actually was showed up, and she's a nice skinny blonde... 8 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was nice in San Diego for four days, no mask requirements-and sadly, had to go back to my county where you can't even go into a dine in restaurant without ID, Vaccine Proof-Next will be next of kin, blood type, and sexual preferences...

I actually just got an email from Rockstar services apologizing again for the piece of garbage app(my words), so I also sent them a snapshot of your post promising me it would be a fantastic cruise!! I sure hope so.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
