Btw, I burned like a witch before we left for the ship.  I didn’t try to carry anything on the ship, but I’m sure we smelled like it.

Cremains?

Enjoying your review! Question about the wine. Did you get on with 2 bottles in your carry on? And you ordered wine pre cruise delivered to your cabin?  Keep the Tito’s. Bring a few cups of orange/guava juice to your cabin in morning (they change it out about 11am on ships I’ve been on) bucket of ice from steward and a spoon from buffet and you can have cocktails in your cabin! I’ve been known to ask bartenders for a few lime slices to have in fridge too! 👍👏🤗 CHEERS! 

Yes, we have two cabins, we carried on four bottles and had two bottles ordered for each stateroom.

Spent most of this morning in the guest service line, three trips through it trying to get my sign and sail card to work.  
 

Not sure what was the problem, everyone else in our family was fine.  Eventually I ended up with the mimosa I wanted.

 

Enjoying the complementary frozen fruit served in Havana. 

[Hogladyrider]

Havanna is the ONLY way we would cruise on Vista class....way too crowded IMO!

[Tobleronebar]

Looking forward to your review. Sailing on Horizon in a few months!

[UtahCruiser1230]

I feel like a hobbit, got up and ate breakfast with my wife on lido, then hit brunch for second breakfast with my oldest.

 

The havana area is a little busier today.

One sentence posts are 100% fine with me...I love this kind of live! Pictures and short commentary.  Please continue.....

Personally, I prefer this type of trip report to the ones that are 10 pages long and have 300 pictures before the thread creator even shows up to the embarkation port... 

[UtahCruiser1230]

Pulled myself out of the havana pool and sauntered down to Lido for some late lunch.  Had a ringer from Guys.  The fries aren’t the same but I thought they were pretty good.

Thank you. I understand you’re allowed a bottle pp. just wondered if you had 2 bottles in one carry on. I’m a solo cruiser now and wonder if I can bring 2 bottles in my carry on since I’m  paying double occupancy! 

[UtahCruiser1230]

My moral conundrum solved itself.  They called the room today wondering if we’d gotten a bottle of Titos by mistake and had we opened it?  Upon hearing it was still unopened they picked it up and brought my rightful two bottles of cheap cabernet.

 

For my four trips to guest services with an unworkable card they gave me a free drink coupon.  Used that for a strawberry daiquiri today.  I’m going through about 2 bottles of wine per day, my 8 bottles should get me halfway through my cruise.

Can't you purchase the Cruise the Vineyards package?

 

You can get 5 bottles of wine for a fixed price.

I haven’t seen that offered this cruise, but perhaps I haven’t noticed.  I preordered the four bottles at a fairly reasonable price, and my carry ons were definitely quantity over quality.

[UtahCruiser1230]

Made it to the MDR for the first elegant night.

 

Had a shrimp cocktail for an app.

 

 

[UtahCruiser1230]

Main was the filet and short rib.

 

 

[UtahCruiser1230]

Chocolate panna cotta and the chocolate melting cake were the deserts, both were delicious.

 

 

[UtahCruiser1230]

Watched M3GAN on the dive in movies, decent movie and the ambience made it even better.  It was a beautiful night, decent temps and just enough of a breeze on the top decks.

 

 

[momof3cruisers]

Great itinerary! I’m enjoying the short commentary with pics.

[five.]

I have no recollection of frozen fruit in havana. That's a new one to me. We'll be on this ship and this itinerary in 40 days. Been awhile since we were on carnival. We are in a havana interior, cheap like that. The part that matters is outside anyways.

Slept in a bit today, then hit up seaday brunch.

 

 

[UtahCruiser1230]

We’re liking our cabins, it’s nice to have a cabana on both sides, one is always in the shade.

 

 

[UtahCruiser1230]

I think my favorite part is the huge bathrooms and the shower head with an actual glass door instead of being attacked by a plastic curtain.

I did see this on CCL website but I was in

on Venezia in June and it wasn’t available. It was only 3rd cruise after the TA and then 4 day Bermuda so maybe that’s why (??)  OP-love that cabin! 👍👍

I love this cabin!  Please share the number if you don't mind!

Trying to get my daughter and son in law on a ship, he is claustrophobic but this looks fantastic!!

Thanks

Hugs from Texas!
