ALTravelGal Posted May 7 #1 Share Posted May 7 Not really a bad thing. But, for some on this board, glass houses and such, right? Eating and drinking in the pools and whirlpools. Common and widespread daily on this sailing. Kind of icky, we wouldn't do it. Each to his own. Not something common on our many Carnival sailings. T Shirts with graphics and/or lettering, you really don't want to explain to your youngsters, under 16 who can read. Spotted quite a few. Carnival understands this situation. Carnivals parent friendly policy bans these shirts. On the plus side, the people watching is spectacular (questionable and funny sights not ever beheld on Carnival) . The ship is fine, very clean and acceptably maintained. Service from the friendly crewmembers is excellent. Food very good to superb. Caribbean night last night was excellent. Jamaican flavor on point. Puzzled why the fantastic jerk chicken had another name on menu. I had jerk pork, hubs chicken. Both plates came with beans and rice (peas and rice), a delicious slice of plantain, and festival. Shared and enjoyed. Have loved our nightly dinners in the MDR. Ship is full. Windjammer breakfast and lunches pretty hectic. Tried one of each. Food ok. Did a look-see one dinner time. One side of the buffet is closed at dinner. Food did not look appealing. Tried a tasty ship snack sandwich in Cafe. Have Chops and Izumi dinners coming up. We have deluxe drink package. Fresh juice, elevated coffee, unlimited water, AND adult beverages. Very easy to reach the price per day we paid. Without overdoing the drinking alcoholic and non. Such are prices these days. Sticking to basic mixed drinks. Royal is using cheap fruit flavored mixers for frozen. Too artificial for our tastes. But not for the crowd on this ship. (Most drinking group of passengers of any cruise we have ever been on. Just an observation) If you go for quality over quantity, very easy to make package worth it. Dismayed to discover very grungy mattress pad under Royal monogrammed sheets. Happy we packed brand new shrink wrapped 1 1/2 inch memory foam topper. Queen size fit in our large suitcase. Also packed king fitted sheet. Turned topper sideways. Poor mattress, questionable topper sitch solved. Wonderful steward brought three new fluffy pillows. Inside cabin luxury bed! BTW, even with full sized body wash, shampoo and conditioner, sunscreen tubes, two small battery powered fans, AND mattress pad and sheet; our large suitcase only weighed 40 pounds. We happily gave Delta $30.00 to check it. Don't me started on the Royal ratty bath towels and sandpaper wash cloths..... More later....someone set up a picnic in the Lyric last night 20min in to Invitation to Dance....1st floor, middle rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4u2go Posted May 7 #2 Share Posted May 7 You might want to change the two words "Out Doing" in your thread title to one word "Outdoing". VERY different meanings. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Buffalo Posted May 7 #4 Share Posted May 7 Is this a 7 day cruise or 3-4 night one? The shorter ones tend to bring out the heavy drinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashOfWater Posted May 7 #5 Share Posted May 7 We were on Adventure for the 8-day before you. More relaxed vibe with an older crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
