Crismess669 Posted August 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We’re on our second Carnival cruise in December, and I realize my cruising partner and I need a tradition for after we dump our stuff off at our room. We were gonna make it Happy Hour at Red Frog, but Horizon doesn’t have Red Frog (which is ridiculous). What’s the first thing you always do (aside from dropping stuff off at the room)?

Yes, the funfetti cheesecake is delicious - my favorite dessert of the entire cruise, actually. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabby50 Posted August 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We explore the entire ship. Start at the top and work our way down, stopping where ever the specialty coffee bar is. Then, we find something to eat, usually ANYWHERE other than the buffet. This time, I'd like to try the Mongolian Wok if it's not too busy. Plans are sometime altered by late boarding. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasicSailor Posted August 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2022 She does have Guys Pig and Anchor Smoke House /Bar, which reminds me of the Red Frog pub. Even had a few drink specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bafinegan Posted August 28, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 28, 2022 After dropping our stuff off at the cabin, hubbs and I always get the funship special and then just go find a quiet spot overlooking the water. We toast each other and the good sense we have in booking the cruise. Then we head to find some food! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 28, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Go to customer service and get a hole punched in my card so it hangs from my lanyard. Lol Eat first. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted August 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We board with our carry on luggage. Go to first open bar, get a cocktail and proceed to room. Drop off luggage (platinum) then grab lunch. Do muster. Check on MDR seating then get swim wear on and chill on Serenity. Get another cocktail and watch sail away. Looking forward to this in 6 days😎 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May1cruiser Posted August 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2022 drop off luggage, decorate room (re use carnival ceiling magnets) - put up door banner - put up danglers outside by door (helps locate room) then muster, Usually drinks at whatever bar has happy hour. First drinks include taking pics and sending to our friends that are not with us (to tease them of course). Food at some point of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found them on Amazon. Each nail was different. Really cute, but I wasn’t very good at applying them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our original tradition was to head directly to lido with carry on grab a cheeseburger, before Guys burgers began, a cocktail or two and people watch. Now that we have been platinum for a few years, we head directly to muster drill get it out of the way and then a Guys burger a couple of drinks and more people watching. Always attend the sail away party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nybumpkin Posted August 28, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Guy's Burgers and a Funship Special. (Even if Guy's doesn't have mushrooms and bacon at the toppings bar anymore.😃) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsTabbyKats Posted August 28, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The first thing I do is head towards "the closed and empty" casino. I like to make my "plan of action" and then it's off to the buffet for a piece of chocolate cake! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoungingMcCoy Posted August 29, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Lunch first. Hang out in our room/nap until muster. If we know where the trivia and group games are held we may go check that out. Muster. Hang out on our balcony and watch sail away. I never thought of it as a tradition, but I guess it is since we do it every cruise. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order a drink then straight to the pool. The first two hours is when the pool is the least crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOptima Posted August 29, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Muster, Funship special(miss the days when wait staff had trays where you walked on!), head to room to drop off anything, drink and wander around ship then maybe eat. Never got everyone heading right to food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
