We are on the Dream 8/12 same itinerary so looking forward to see what you do in the ports you get off. We are platinum but haven't sailed Carnival in a few years and have been on the Dream once. This will be our first casino Elite Cruise and we also are excited to have a spa balcony on 12, love the thalassotherapy pool and steam rooms, etc.. Being Platinum is it correct we can drop our carryon bags off in our cabin after we board even if they are not ready yet? Trying to read through and remember any perks we get. Enjoy your cruise before the school year starts!! Yep! Rooms are ready at 1:30, but you’re free to drop your bags and go once you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a similar visit today - My issue wasn't the amount to cut, but the amount of gray hair left on the floor....😧 We sailed Pride the week after you disembarked. When I finally get my act together, I'll have a Norway review and photos (plus some extra travel). Looking forward to your travels! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HolySpearit Posted July 12, 2023 #54 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Following along, long time lurker of your reviews, we have a similar cabin booked for the Vista next year. Have fun and thanks for taking us along! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Posted July 13, 2023 #55 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) pre-cruise itinerary in Northern Dallas suburb not quite as exotic as Bar-the-lona. Plus I notice there was no 8 mile walk through the streets of Frisco today in 103 degree heat wave. You are slipping!!!!!!!! 🌍 Edited July 13, 2023 by Stallion 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonqueen99 Posted July 13, 2023 #56 Share Posted July 13, 2023 So looking forward to this review! Loved your last one, Dream class is my favorite, and I'll be cruising solo for the first time next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got done key lime custard in Richardson tonight, so that’s pretty exotic tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 13, 2023 Author #60 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Side note: the Chilis Chips & Salsa is the charter member of my hall of fame for food items that have no business being as good as they are. Every time. Makes no sense. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time. Makes no sense. They reportedly put vinegar or pickle juice (I’ve heard different reports) in it. Frog Ranch brand has a similar taste profile, but is a little chunky, so you’d have to blend it. You can get that at Walmart here in FL; not sure about TX. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocean sounds Posted July 13, 2023 #66 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hey we’ll be onboard too! 2 days, better pack, lol ! DD is also a Texas teacher, and she’s looking forward to some R&R before the soon to arrive teacher work days. The 3 Grands are looking for fun and non-stop action before they have to drag themselves back to High School. Hmmm - will there be a winning side, or can a compromise be made? We have connecting Cove balconies. Can’t wait to be that close to the water! Will be following your thread as well ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cove balconies are very cool - had one on Breeze a couple years ago, it’s a very unique experience being so close to the water like that!

Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 13, 2023 Author #69 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Last day before heading south. A little update on what we have in the pipeline, with a slight change. Nov. 23 - Regal Princess (Galveston) Dec. 23 - Celebration (Miami) Mar. 23 - Vista (PC) May 23 - Venezia (NYC) still working on it after that. I had Norwegian Escape out of PC booked for this thanksgiving, but out of nowhere I get this insane casino offer on Regal P out of Galveston that was too good to pass up. Pretty stoked about it, I’m platinum over there but haven’t sailed with the Sea Witch since ‘16. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelGirlinDallas Posted July 13, 2023 #72 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hey, neighbor!! We'll be on Allure while you're on the Dream. I REALLY want to do the itinerary you're on and finally see Key West, but I've already sailed the Dream and am waiting until a new ship takes over. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
