Have a safe trip home. Did your daughter’s apron ever arrive? Ended up taking “snow days” for Covid so they weren’t in school for almost a week. The mail hold says it’s there. We shall see. 😆🤷🏼♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most disappointing meal I had the entire cruise. I've had Wagyu... what I was served wasn't anything like it. We were told by several people it was very lean… and that was confusing because it’s not suppose to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balcony bound Posted January 16, 2022 #830 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Not sure why I couldn’t reply in the correct post - but here is the Wagyu I was served. That is the entire portion as well. Edited January 16, 2022 by balcony bound 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted January 16, 2022 Author #831 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Debarking didn’t start until after 8:15… but the new customs thing is super easy.

That’s great if you can fly spirit to Miami. A couple years ago when I tried to book it you only book spirit to Fort Lauderdale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wrote what I heard Dustin say. also, this sailing raised $7200 for St Jude. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is technically Wagyu beef, but not a cut or quality I want for my first Wagyu. I think I'll just skip a house payment and order real Japanese Wagyu when I go to Japan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is shown on the menu as "Australian Wagyu" - so definitely not even similar. My very first wagyu was in Japan. I'll never forget it. You can order Wagyu "reasonably" from a few online sources. I have gotten it from wildforkfoods in the past $129/pound. They are now delivering some items outside of Florida. I'm sure there are other places to order from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted January 16, 2022 Author #842 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We ended up getting $250 OBC instead of the original $200. I think maybe they treated “cove balcony” guests as spa and Havana category and gave additional OBC. Not sure. That is very nice of carnival. So many complain, but really, without the Horizon, it was still an amazing trip. No big gripes. Super awesome people met. We got to all 3 beautiful ports and we were spoiled for 8 nights. I tried to get Teo in my suitcase but he wasn’t having it. Some random white chick yelling Salamat and no rice, no power at him… he’s better than that. 😆😆😆 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
