It is not a Diamond Perk as we are not DIamond yet and were invited to one on our Alaskan Cruise. It was really nice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fair-winds39 Posted November 8, 2023 #79 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Looking forward to following along on your journey. We’ve never done more than a 8-9 day cruise. We’re giving thought to a Journey’s cruise one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 8, 2023 Author #80 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I tried Chopsticks for lunch. Consistently pretty good Asian food as usual. Chicken was better than the beef. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 8, 2023 Author #81 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) More success at the casino last night, including Quad Jack's again. It's so much more fun when you don't have to keep reaching in your pocket for more money. This guy is a real character from SC.

Oh my, I love Ken Burns! We have drifted away from Carnival recently, but I had sailed with him many times over the years. I love his singing and how he always visited tables and seemed to truly care about your dining room experience. Does anyone know how many years he has been a Maitre'd on Carnival? I know I would cruise again with him any time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztekpm Posted November 9, 2023 #91 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I'm on this cruise too and have to agree about the staff. Top notch! Also, chopsticks is my favorite go to on Legend & Pride. Did you hear that someone (not me, unfortunately, but I was in the vicinity at the time) won $10K on the Autumn Moon slot!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 9, 2023 Author #93 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I ate fried chicken and caesar salad in MDR tonight. Like banquet frozen chicken dinner. Watched it good band doing Beatles covers in Red Frog on deck 2 next to the sports bar with the tiny TVs. Both Hold-em tables had waiting lines all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Carnival automatically take a % out, or is that only if you don't cough up your SS# ? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom I don't play slots but I won $2k on an ultra midnight drawing back when Carnival did that and yes, they make a big deal with pics when you get the check but only come visit with tax forms after the crowds are gone. Between Feds and DC I think I kept about $900 of the $2,000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
