We're florida natives, where'd you move to, west coast? That is exciting to sail on your first Excel! I guess I can be considered a Florida native since I was born in FL, but I lived all over the US after that. We now live about an hour north of Orlando and love living in Florida. We really enjoy cruising on Carnival, although I had an awesome time on one of Royal's mega ships. Finally reached platinum on our last cruise, so we can enjoy those perks.

There is so much to do. I keep getting emails from Carnival for discounted cruises from Australia. A cruise to Australia sounds amazing. That's a perfect cruise to hit platinum.

I have done that drive so many times, once I hit the Turnpike, I am on autopilot. No matter how tired, if I can just get to the Turnpike.... We lived down south, and have slowly migrated north (or west coast), as most natives seem to be doing, LOL I'm Dave, see you in the casino BTW, what time did you check in to get that time, last night? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the Sunpass, so if we hit any tolls on that drive, we should be golden. LOL. I have no idea where all of the toll roads are in Florida. We are platinum and also in a suite, so it looks like we were able to check in two days prior to the general check in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted January 15, 2023 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Slots is how I get cheap cruises, which I actually pay more for in the long run. Likely see us at a comedy show or two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely see us at a comedy show or two We actually cruised on the Mardi Gras for free (minus gratuities, port fees, and a small upgrade fee for a better cabin) because of my slot plays. I get discount emails often. That was the only time I got a free cruise though. I don't gamble a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
