This is what I didn’t like about Mardi Gras - impossible to get a seat if you showed up a little later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the negatives of the XL Class. There aren't many good seats in the Center Stage area. 😎 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was the cabana before it went to $500? There must have been a huge demand for them if Carnival can get $500 now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at $500 they aren't selling as quick. 5 minutes ago, WhiteOptima said: Next time we may look at the lagoon area instead. It literally took me an hour to get a beer. Not acceptable!

Hogladyrider Posted May 15, 2023 #315 Share Posted May 15, 2023 @Jamman54......WOW $500 for a cabana, does that include food and beverage? That's out of my budget for sure even if it included food and beverage. I see the flying chairs are up to $15 for adults now, I remember when they were $10. We always walk as I love taking pics of the flowers. Carnival has commercialized Mahogany Bay since it first opened, but it is a great beach day for sure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only food and beverages included are a couple of bags of chips, and some soda and water. The rest you pay extra for. 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were Tim Young, Tommy Drake, Jorge Marroquin “DJ Cooch”, Percy Crews 2, and Billy D. Washington. We will never be disappointed to have Bill D. Washington as one of the comedians on our cruises. He is fantastic, as is Cowboy Bill Martin. 22 hours ago, Jamman54 said: We get a beach cabana every time we come here, but now that they raised the price to $500, don't think we'll pay that price unless we're splitting it with friends. It was interesting that the cabanas for Amber Cove for our upcoming Celebration cruise were all sold out when the prices were in the $300 range. Now that they've raised the rates to nearly $500, the hillside and beach cabanas are suddenly available. Poolside and grand cabanas are sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanZena Posted May 15, 2023 #320 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I could never do a ship that big, but that Magnificent Circus Show looks like a lot of fun and the photos of it are beautiful. Is this show only on the Celebration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
