Come join us as we take our third voyage on the Mardi Gras, this time staying in a Havana Cabana room. The delta between cruises has been a while (the Elation in March) and to be honest, we have been jonesing to get on a Carnival ship. This will be our 46th Carnival Cruise. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect a little bit different experience this time now that they are sailing near max capacity. Anxious to hear your take on it since the last time you sailed on her it was reduced capacity. That Havana cabana may be a godsend. 😎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 25 Author #14 Share Posted June 25 So they board from both doors. We were 35 min late. This plane flies back and forth 3 times. The delay was a foretelling of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 25 Author #17 Share Posted June 25 (edited) The pilot came on and saying there was “weather” in the area of mco and it would be a “bumpy” landing. Wow an understatement . Edited June 25 by jimbo5544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 25 Author #18 Share Posted June 25 The 2nd roughest decline I has over exp and then at 1500 fr hit a wind sheer and dropped maybe a third and aborted and full throttle hard bank climb bouncing the whole way. People screaming added to the fun. Pilot came on and talked us thru what happened and said we were diverting to Tampa foe delay and fuel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
