Leaving St. Thomas 💙

Best to call 

Pretty bummed you won’t be doing more Lives… I just think the “tribe” isn’t your vibe, even if they are your friends. You seem to be much happier not feeling like you need to try to join. I prefer the Sid who is moving to his own flow… but I’m just an outsider watching you sink deeper into yourself… missing the you that doesn’t give a crap about who is on the cruise around you. 
 

Hope the rest of your cruise is amazing! ***and hope you change your mind about live reviews ***

Amazing day. We could legit stay forever. 
 

 

 

This is my home ❤️ glad you liked it 😊

Good evening!

My PVP told me the thrill theater is back open, but I haven’t seen anyone on various platforms talking about it when referring to the IMAX. Has anyone been on recently that can confirm or deny? 
 

Thanks in advance!

Chicken Katsu at Bonsai

Miso at Bonsai

Poached eggs & Fixins- Emeril's 

Halibut at Rudi's 

I really enjoy the speciality dining options over the buffet and MDR. The Excel class ships have really stepped up Carnival's food game for included, though. I love the Schwarma and Sea Dogs additions, plus Street Eats. Big Chicken is also great, better than Guy's in my opinion. And the Quatro pizza is one of our all time favorites!

It was advertised onboard the cruises I took this year. There have been no announcements otherwise, so you can probably safely assume it's an option on your ship...or call the fun shops and pre-order. 😊

Buffalo mozzarella is a mozzarella made from the milk of Italian Mediterranean buffalo. It is not Buffalo style mozzarella (like Buffalo wings)

Is Cucina open at embarkation? Like the old Pasta Bar?   Thought first opening was for dinner.  

 

Last November I headed to Shaq's Big Chicken but the line was very long (and this was before 12:30) so I discovered Street Eats while DW headed to Guys.  

Maybe not...it's good for lunch on other days, though 🙂

Shaq's and the Schwarma place at the buffet.  Also, Cucina lunch is good and normally not crowded.  Have fun!

Ah! OK, got it. Seems pretty far South, maybe you'll get lucky! 😊

Cucina is not free on the Celebration.  It is complimentary right now on the Mardi Gras.  Per Carnival...

 

 

Mardi Gras Reservations: For a limited time only, Chibang!, Smokehouse Brewhouse and Cucina del Capitano will be included in the guest's cruise fare. We are not taking reservations pre-cruise or on board for these three venues. Guests will be seated on a first come, first served basis depending on party size. If we cannot seat them immediately upon arrival, guests will be able to join a virtual waitlist using the HUB App. Guests will receive a notification via the HUB App when their table is ready. 

 

There may be the anticipation of doing the same when the Celebration sets sail.  

Yes I am sailing Celebration in June and it's not listed on my cruise manager either Saphir! 

 

You can pay & book this restaurant in advance.  I'm sailing on the Sunshine in December of this year and it is showing in my cruise manager. 

According to John Heald, Cucina will be free on both Celebration and Jubilee.  You cannot book these ahead of time, you will not pay for them, and Anytime dining gets priority reservations until 7:30 just like on Mardi Gras.

I'm curious as to what weather you are talking about...no storms anywhere near the Vista route. Am I missing something? 

Cucina is free on Celebration 🍾 

I booked it for January on the Celebration ...so it is letting you book it now.

Where did you see that?  He told me they left it off because of the bacon shortage.  

He posted it on his FB page today

You could always just do the Cruise the Vineyards package....

How much is it now? And is it a real BLT or a turkey BLT?

I am not sure, JH just posted that it was put back on the menu, he did not elaborate

More positive news...they added the BLT back on the new room service menu.  🙂

In other good news, the BLT was put back on the Room Service menu per JH on FB.

At least they are adding the Tomato soup back on the brunch menu, so some people will be happy about that maybe. . .

Was the brownie with toffee sauce always on the menu? And there is a chocolate cake on there now, too. I think they did away with it for a while because I used to always order it at night and then stopped.  I thought I stopped because it was taken off room service...I could be wrong on both of these things, though!

If you check in with guest services a few days prior to the end of the cruise, they may offer you and your luggage transportation on one of their golf carts between ships.

I will DEFINITELY do this. Thanks :)

Afternoon! I'm doing a side to side in January 2023. Celebration to Horizon.  Anything I need to know or is it just business as usual at disembarkation/embarkation in between?
