We download a bunch from the library. You're only supposed to have them 3 weeks and then they expire and are removed from your Kindle but if you get everything on your Kindle that you want and then turn Wi-Fi off on your Kindle they will stay there until you turn it back on. 🤫

We sure are! I'm sorry about your husband. I look forward to meeting you!

I hope they show some of the baseball games. Go Royals!

We love hand and foot!

We bringing our extras with us so if we want to check, we will be able to easily.

Yes lots. You might set up your Facebook at least for this.

I think for rapid tests it is 24 hours or less? If you are from the US it seems most health insurance will pay for it and they will just give you 4 tests that you can do yourself when it's the right time. I think people doing this will take a picture of negative covid test along with their passport or other ID and something like a newspaper that shows the date or something like that.

It sounds like a souvenir store may have opened in the cruise terminal. I imagine the airport may have some too.

Does the att cruise plan for at sea days work on the ship? How?

Per the letter from Carnival: All transactions will be conducted in U.S. dollars, so kindly plan accordingly. We encourage you to come prepared with U.S. currency (cash and/or credit) for your onboard incremental spending as our team will have a limited amount of U.S. dollars to facilitate currency exchange from Australian dollars (only).

Oh sorry! I got confused.

Try cruise planner, spa and salon section, filter for relaxation and see if you can get it

But I didn't think we would arrive there until 9.

I know, I love it too!

I think since there will probably (I'm guessing) be mostly Australians/NZers and Americans (US And Canada), it will be funny seeing how much we don't understand each others slang 🙂 My husband is from New Zealand so he translates for me if needed. I am US.

I didn't join until a couple of months ago and go in right away. Maybe try deleting your request and then trying it again. Did you answer the questions that they have when you're trying to join? I don't know why they wouldn't let you in, but who knows the minds of admins.

Wife beaters are white singlets. A stereotype is a man in an undershirt like that who drinks and beats his wife so they are called wife beaters.

Budgies are parakeets for Americans. Are budgie smugglers very popular in Australia? My husband's dad in NZ wore them constantly.

The click on the events tab at the top for all the events. I think there is a new post there too that has them all listed and links to them.

Do you have FB? You can search for the group name and join the group and there will be a ton of events for cards, slot pulls, etc.

I just chatted with Tom who has horseback riding in Suva. It is a local run operation and it got really high ratings and reviews. I haven't got all the details yet but he said he could take up to 10 people so that would be eight more than Sean and I. Is anyone interested? It is with the Maui Horse Riding Adventures and they have a FB page.

I'm not allowed to post the link here but the name of the group is "OFFICIAL Carnival Luminosa Transpacific April 13. 2023" they have added several events and have a post listing what there is so far. First event: Boarding Day Meet & Greet Thursday, April 13, 2023 3:00 pm SHIP's TIME Red Frog Rum Bar Lido Deck 9 Before the Ship's Sail Away Party at 4:00 pm same deck Let's Meet Fellow Group Cruisers! Wear Mardi Gras type beads any color, any style and get a raffle ticket to win a prize. You wear your beads and I'll bring name tags, raffle tickets, a prize, and a break the ice game, and pens. PLEASE BRING anything from your hometown for us to raffle off as prizes!! Shot glasses, chocolates, hats, t-shirts, anything with your state or country on it, etc. EXTRA EVENT: Donate any amount at the Meet and Greet and we will donate it to St. Jude in the name of our Facebook Group at the ship's event "Dancing For St Jude". All donations (cash only) will go into an envelope and the amounts will be written on the outside of the envelope. Join us when we make our group donation for Groove for St. Jude!! Last year Halloween on Panorama, 196 of us wore beads throughout the cruise and our meet & greet party was a blast. We even raised $245 for St Jude! Let's beat that this cruise! The coolest part was our Cruise Director called our donation out on the mic at the event and thanked the Facebook Group. It made it really special! This is going to be really fun!! Can't wait to meet everyone!!

Could someone tell me what ports we will be tendering into? I can't seem to find the information in my carnival stuff.

It's been awhile but we love Euchre. You can't be from Indiana if you don't play Euchre! Another fun card game we used to play is Hand and Foot. I don't remember the rules but it just takes regular cards and it is a lot of fun. Has anyone else played it?

Sean likes to surf but on the little 3 or 4 footers . This is terrifying!
