  1. If you have any others fire away, I might be able to answer them from my faulty memory.🤪
  2. Yes, there are restrooms accessible from the parking area in Port Canaveral.
  3. Or you could take the higher road and give everyone the response in spite of those others.
  4. OP you will have to report your results so if someone else has the same question it can be answered.
  5. The water from the dispensers on lido is cleaner than what is in the bathroom cabin.
  6. Learned something new today. I don't like ginger beer so never looked too closely at it and didn't realize it's like root beer in that it doesn't have alcohol.
  7. I suspect that it will all come down to the knowledge of the security person screening it. If they recognize that the ginger beer you have is non-alcoholic they'll let it go. If they don't recognize it they will confiscate it. You might be able to point out that it doesn't contain alcohol but they aren't going to spend a lot of time on the issue- they have thousands of people to screen.
  8. While you might get a better response on the Carnival forum I believe promo codes for this are limited to targeted cruisers. I did not get one for our last sailing, but our son did.
  9. Just got back from Mardi Gras and while we haven't sailed Oasis we have sailed Anthem of the Seas and I thought that Mardi Gras was good competition for Anthem. Anthem had the bumper cars/roller skating, Mardi Gras Bolt and the ropes course. Anthem the Solarium, Mardi Gras Serenity (with a salad bar instead of a bistro). Anthem the Dog House, Mardi Gras Big Chicken and Street Eats and Guys and Blue Iguana. Anthem 270, Mardi Gras Center Stage. The only tip is go with the flow and have a great time- Carnival and Royal aren't as far apart in the product they offer as many think. Here's a link to my review. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3005559-mardi-gras-420-to-427/#comment-67313447
  10. They had digital options on Mardi Gras but it costs the same as a print. I would second doing different poses for the regular photographers. If you got the digital only one person would have to buy them, then have them printed when you got home (just make sure you get a release to do that).
  11. Possibly but you didn't allude to that in your post but I can now see where you're coming from.
  12. Actually he was investigated for his actions because every pilot is investigated for their actions when something goes wrong. And the computer models (and simulations) were correct- an immediate turn back toward the airport would have resulted in a landing on the ground (and even still the pilots in the simulators needed to practice the maneuver before they were successful). But as was pointed out (by Sully and others) no one had ever trained for dual engine loss at such a low altitude. I would think that since that fateful day this scenario is carried out in simulators regularly so pilots can be trained in this unlikely occurrence.
  13. I would call it more of a mindset than a myth. Certainly not a mindset shared by all back in the day, but it was a prevailing one whenever disaster struck.
