Hoping that the golden jubilee and pig and anchor have some good staff and drinks as well. Funny thing, when I was on MG, a sister ship to Celebration, I tried out the other bars but kept coming back to Alchemy. The mixologists are great and I love the vibe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am anxious to see your thoughts and pictures from that ship. Since you're approaching #20 on Carnival and haven't sailed on anybody else, I can inexplicably say that the Prima would be a great choice to spend your first non Carnival cruise on. Spent 11 days on her over Halloween and will spend another 14 in February and March. Next up is 5 days on the Celebration next month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted December 12, 2022 #2056 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Sid, this has been a lot of fun, really improved my last ten days! I'm reminded of a classic movie, where a grey-haired woman who is dancing like someone much younger blurts out "Lovely Party!" 10 Sid points for the first responder with the movie. Bonus 5 points for including a clip! (Sid you can bill me for those points) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 12, 2022 Author #2058 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Up way before the sun, and I'm really not looking forward to today at work. Specifically, not looking forward to stepping on the scale at work and finding out how many pounds I need to lose to get my svelte figure back... Hopefully I can ease into the day rather than being thrown straight to the sharks... 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 12, 2022 Author #2060 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The big boss is out of the office today, so at least I'll get to ease myself back into the working World. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 12, 2022 Author #2061 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I only ended up gaining three pounds over the last week on board... I'm pretty satisfied with that outcome. Mostly attributed to always taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and always being on the move. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindyWebb Posted December 12, 2022 #2068 Share Posted December 12, 2022 You did such a great live. I agree it is completely impractical to do it and takes waaaaaay too much time; but we love it!!! Thank you for the fun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 12, 2022 Author #2073 Share Posted December 12, 2022 First day back to reality hasn't been the worst ever, other than my lunch, which was a lukewarm piece of pizza from Kroger. Other than that, I'm just trying to make it through these last ten days of work before our ten day break between Christmas and New Years. I haven't even had a chance to start tallying the names for the thank you list, but I promise something by the end of this weekend. Even though I didn't get to do most of the stuff on the ship, I did get to all of the really crucial places. Alchemy, Big Chicken, Steakhouse, Rudi's, Guy's, Street Eats, ect... It's sad that my Jubilee cruise was cancelled, but now I'm looking into a real land trip to St Maarten / Martin... I only have yet to scratch the surface there, and it looks like somewhere I could spend an entire week exploring. That's the plan, I just need to figure out the money. Probably costs a lot more than a one week cruise... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted December 12, 2022 #2074 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I will be on a cruise porting in Phillipsburg on January 18 and I will try to get a drink from Juggie's and tell them Sid recommended their establishment.👍 Seven ships porting there that day so I'm sure it will be a busy port! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a whirlwind morning, rushing to get everything packed and ready to go. I guess that it's a good thing that I was up so early, as it took me till exactly the moment they called general carry off debarkation. I carried my bags, as well as my box of liquor down eight flights of stairs, and once I hit the right deck, I kept walking and never stopped until I was outside. Ten minutes later, I was in a taxi headed for the airport. I checked my box of liquor, and they made me sign some kind of form before putting it on the belt. Something about limits, but I've always brought exactly two bottles home with no problem. My carry on with the cigars made it through the scanner, but I ended up getting a pay down, I assume because of my nipple ring. I have TSA pre check, so I'm a "trusted traveler"... Anyhoo, I'm at my gate already with three hours until boarding time. I would have liked to have done something, but I was lugging all this stuff, and I just wanted to put it down and relax. I'm not going to be drinking for awhile after this, I decided... I really need to get it under control, and there's no time like the present... Thanks again for all of your comments and encouragement along the way. I think that this is easily my best Live ever, and I'm considering not even doing one on the Prima in February. We'll see... Nooooo. You must do one! I enjoy these so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
