Does the Zuiderdam have deck shuffleboard? Thanks!

Sailing on the Zuiderdam this November with my toddler. I understand that the aft pool on (all? most?) ships is adults-only. Does that just apply to the pool itself, or to the whole area? Can we still watch sail away from there, bring food out from the buffet to enjoy outside, etc.?

Do they serve WCMC on the buffet? We always eat in the dining room, but traveling with my 10 month old I have a feeling we're going to be changing that up!

Delicious! Thanks so much for taking these, and taking the time to share them. First time with the American Table menus next week and looking forward to it.

I wish it knew! It looked very similar to the guides you see posted at the different stations during the galley tour.

A couple months ago in my pre-cruise information gathering, I came across a PDF document that looked like it might be one used in Carnival's galley. It listed the different types of sauces and their ingredients. Each item had a photo showing the plating. The document also went into some of the other dishes available every day (like the kale salad), with a photo of the dish, and ingredients that were assembled into it.

Anyone familiar with this document or could possibly provide me a link?

I wanted to add another data point. I have the Blue Cash Preferred, and had the Carnival offer. I paid my remaining balance due online, on a May cruise I booked directly through Carnival. I paid that on March 7, received the email within a few minutes, and the credit posted to my account on March 9.

Thanks for the heads up on this deal!

Trish, really enjoying your review and following along. I love cruising with "first-timers," who are exploring everything new; their excitement really is contagious. That's awesome that you got to share this vacation with your mom. Looking forward to your next installment!

Jeff, hope your having a wonderful cruise. Wondering about shuffleboard. Did you see any deck shuffleboard, or only the shuffleboard table?

Cold Toppings: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced raw onions, pickle slices, peppers (banana, cherry, and jalapenos), potato sticks

Hot Toppings: bacon, sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions

Sauces: chipotle mayo, ranch, regular mayo, ketchup (all of these are in a dispenser, with individual-serving metal cups for dispensing them), also bottles A1 steak sauce, red & green Tabasco

Remember you can also grab bottles of ketchup and mustard from the buffet.

I pieced this list together from my own memory and photos I could find online; feel free to add any goodies that I missed!

Those drinks look delish! Hubby & I rarely drink, but I know we'll be getting the Gold free-drink coupons. Never even thought about the Alchemy bar for this. We will definitely grab a virgin cocktail there when we're on the Pride. Brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration & great review.

Available 24 Hours: coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, lemonade and unsweetened ice tea.

Also wanted to mention milk. Chocolate milk, skim milk (although I often see it written "skimmed" milk on board) and I believe 2% are all readily available in the buffet for breakfast. You can get any of those at the MDR, or at the buffet lunch/dinner by requesting the cartons from a staff member.

Any idea what the pool temperature is? Are there lots of people using them? Hoping they won't be ice cold like some of the other reports I've read from other ships! Thanks!
