Our magician buddy came by and entertained us (we want to take him home❣️) and our waitstaff is so great! We went to the 80’s show and the performance was awesome!! Spent some time chilling on our extra-long balcony and now it’s beddy time. See you all tomorrow!😁 I saw the 80s show on the Dream last month... it was awesome! I still don't know how they made those lightsabers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted January 19 Author #355 Share Posted January 19 Kinda cool on Serenity. A little cloud cover so maybe that’s it. Ninjacat also got a little pink out in the GT water yesterday. I’m wearing my swim shirt today 👍 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted January 19 #356 Share Posted January 19 So what is your opinion on Jack's Shack under the new ownership? Our last time in GT we skipped it because most reviews said it wasn't the same (as good) as it used to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last time in GT we skipped it because most reviews said it wasn't the same (as good) as it used to be. We got there around 8:30 and got front row chairs. No waiter service just go up to the bar. Drinks were good and strong. Around noon it was very busy in the bar/food area. We didn’t order food since the lines were long. To get drinks at noon took about 15 minutes. Our bartender Indira had a stiff look on her face most of the time but when I asked her name and told her mine, she totally warmed up. I had a great time at Jack’s Shack because we were early. Does it have the charm of the past? No but I will go back and I’ll be there early. Edited January 19 by ninjacat123 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted January 19 Author #365 Share Posted January 19 Craig and I read our books while enjoying our extra long balcony. Since I hadn’t eaten a Guys burger this cruise, we braved lido. Just as tasty as ever! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last time in GT we skipped it because most reviews said it wasn't the same (as good) as it used to be. Frank, I went a couple months ago and although there are a lot of changes, it's still good, but it might take 15 minutes or so to digest the changes. Some of the changes... 1. The bar has been moved from near the food station to the opposite side and takes up more space. 2. It is now a two-level bar, as they've added high top tables to the area at the top of the steps to the gift shop and the bar itself serves both levels (kinda cool). 3. Others have commented on the price changes for umbrellas and chairs, I don't do either so I don't know about that. 4. The volleyball court has been moved and is now surrounded by tables in the sand, so forget about playing any real volleyball since the tables go almost to the out-of-bounds line. The locals who work there now seem really "local", not sure how to state this, just that the locals who worked under Jack's management seemed - I don't know - "gentrified"? Anyway it's still a great place, food is the same, drinks pretty much the same and the beach is still much better than the beach near the pier and the Carnival madness. I'm interested to hear what ninjacat says, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had nice neighbors who chatted with us (first cruise ever on MG!) and when Cat and Sky arrived, they said they were leaving and offered their chairs. Yay!! Thanks Mindy and Mr Mindy 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
