Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 20 Author #289 Share Posted August 20 OK, hectic few days, time for a summary. This was a cruise we did for some family and fiends. We typically do not cruise the Caribbean in the summer time. The itinerary is one of our favorites, We truly enjoy the 8 day ABC, it ranks among our most favorite. We have had issues in more than a couple of our latest cruises with hurricanes. Some very significant and some not so much. This was one of the latter. It altered our pre cruise plans, a [preventative measure, and it worked, for a price. In the end, we would have been fine, but who knew.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 20 Author #290 Share Posted August 20 (edited) The ship. We have sailed the Celebration (the new one) 3 times now. We will be back on her in November for a 7 day eastern. We have enjoyed all, but all 3 were sold out sailings. I was shocked at how many New Yorkers were on the ship. Also very surprised at the number of blue and red cards, the Carnival plan is working. The ship offers a lot, especially in food options. There are almost too many options. On this cruise, we ate breakfast almost exclusively in Pig and Anchor (except the last day). For us it works. Lunch was all over the place Lido, Guys, Blue Iguana, Pizza, Deli, and Big Shaq. For dinner it was the MDR and Cucina and Steakhouse.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 20 Author #291 Share Posted August 20 The cabin. we usually book speciality cabins, for this cruise, our kids wanted to be near us so we were all on port side floor 11. We had the hump cabin, they were all forward of us (recessed). The Lanai is def bigger, I did enjoy the space, being in the fish bowl aspect not so much. Would I do it again? prob better than 50/50. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 20 Author #292 Share Posted August 20 The crew. Carnivals best asset. They always excel. The Captain is cordial but kind of stand offish. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 21 Author #293 Share Posted August 21 It is clear that Carnival is not having problem filling this ship. For us, it certainly does not add to the draw to sail her during summer or spring break times (we do it for the kids and their kids). Our next sailing on the Celebration will be n November and will be interested to see the difference if any. The ship does a fair job of dispersing the people with one exception. That is the MDR. On the two big cruise elegant nights, they struggle with the process. This is not a people (crew) problem, but my view is they need to find a better way. Next up for us is Celebration November 10 with more family, this time in Excel Aft suite. Thanks for following along. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
