We had matching t shirts on two of our family reunion cruises.  We picked one sea day to wear the t shirts.

Nice idea as your around the boat together

Have a 4 generation cruise in 2 weeks on Celebration, my daughter made t shirts for all from 18 month great granddaughter to 84 year old grandpa, wearing them for embarkation day!  In all my 20+ cruises this matching cruise shirt thing will be a first for me!  

Yes that's what where doing with 3 generation. Hoping the embarkation photo makes it all worth while. Although the grand kids were Very Excited to get their shirts. Now i just have to my sure they have them in 35 days.

DW and I are sailing along with our two Grand children and daughter. We are sailing on the Venezia out of NY on the 19th of June. I (Grampy) had 2 different cruise t-shirts made for Everyone. I want our embarkation photo to be in one of the shirts that say family cruise on it. Just wondering if i am acting over the top? It's the Grand Kids first cruise. ( yes i booked us the Dr. Suess breakfast as well)

can get banana split from kids menu in MDR also. Other tables will ask "how did you get that?"

yes just ask for the split and they will bring it to you. Don't be afraid

The free ice cream any time is the only reason i was able to get the Grandchildren on the cruise. LoL

"Mom were going with Grampy to get coffee". They think their going to be pulling her leg.

Wonderful post. Very much Enjoying the paintings. Thank you

Well Enjoy your training trip. Sounds like some Very Exciting locations. I am Very interested in the back half of your trip as i have 2 cabins on the Carnival Venezia's June 19th 8 day sailing. So looking forward to hearing and seeing about the ship and remodel. May 29th is circled on my calendar as the day boarding starts in Europe then June 3rd for my check in. Look forward to all your post and activities.

Ahoy, Cruise Critic Family! My beautiful wife Patti and I have just returned after another cruise adventure. This time we sailed aboard the new, big, and beautiful Carnival Celebration, on a seven-day cruise to Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay.

 

 

How many of you got to sail on the original Celebration? I sailed on her when she was brand new in 1987. The last time I sailed on her was in 2005 with Patti and our boys. I’m feeling nostalgic today, so here are a few pictures from that cruise for old times sake. We’ve come a long way in the last eighteen years!

WoW DW and I very first cruise was on the Celebration. The photo of the Trolley bar sure hit home. Had the midnight buffet in their. You could go take pictures a half hour before. Great flash back Jamman.

Does anybody know when the other dining options will be released.  We are cruising on June 19 and the only 2 specialty dining options is Steakhouse and Teppanyaki 9we booked both of them already) - I know they are adding other restaurants but not showing on my planner. 

See you on the 19th. Looking forward to dining options myself

Credit for the 2 missing items posted to my credit card yesterday. Items no longer available.

Had a Great time on this ship. Enjoy your sailing

Just booked a fall cruise from NY on the Venezia. Can someone that has cruised on this ship give me some details? Have sailed mostly out of Mobile, Port Canaveral and Jacksonville. How is the port? Is it a mid-size ship? Did I read it was refurbished? Any tips would be appreciated. Just my husband and I going. 

TIA

We are all awaiting word on the refurbishment. Was a Costa cruise ship that Carnival is bringing to NY after they make some changes. First sailing is June 15th ( other then the transatlantic bring her to America ). Awaiting photos and info from those that sail on her early. I am booked on her 2nd sailing on June 19th and will be sharing what i see. Can't wait as 50 days to go.

Look forward to more inside views as well. Sailing Venezia June 19th. She's looking good

Their 14 days were up !!

Thanks for the input from you both. Will be on the look out for credit reimbursement if not soon will call.

We are sailing on the Carnival Venezia in June this year. We had ordered and paid for 2 mermaid sling back bags and beach towels for the Grand kids along with other items. The sling back bags & towels no longer show in our order history. How does Carnival reimburse us for the cost of these items ? Have looked at the credit card statements and not seen a credit posted yet. Don't know long items have been removed as it was just noticed on 4/25. I don't see an OBC posted on my sailing either.

I already saw this but as I mentioned I already have $250 obc, so I should be good right? 

yes you will be good to start off. remember the gratuities get added the second to last night and depending on your cruise length they might put you over your limit. Plus if you don't want to be one of the people getting paged over the speaker keep an eye on your folio account amount.

Going to be interesting cruise in June. DW and i are platinum and our daughter and Grand children are not. Grand kids first cruise and daughters 3rd. We have 2 rooms and and a platinum member booked each one so i believe everyone will enjoy early boarding and priority tenders on HMC. Yes the last few cruises we have had to stop at different locations to pickup our platinum benefits.  

Leaving south shore Monday the 19th to drive down. Parking at pier and i am not carrying anyone's luggage. I am on Vacation Also. Yes see you at the breakfast if not sooner. ( how many people going to be walking around saying " they park there cars")

Thank you, phoneman69! I just checked my sailing and it opened up for Dr. Suess Green Eggs and Ham breakfast for our 12/10/23 sailing. I had just checked this morning, and it wasn't available. Question though, are my grandkids age 8 and 11 too old for this? I know I'm not!

No i don't think there to old.

I know my Grand kids ages 6 & 8 are REAL Excited for this Breakfast. I know i am also excited to go and so glad i was finally able to make this booking. It's a sea day so the Brunch will still be going if anyone wants a second meal or they don't enjoy it. I want MY PICTURE taken with Cat in the Hat.

Got to purchase Dr. Suess Green egg's and Ham today. Off the hook as i have been telling the grand kids about it and could not make a reservation untill this morning. 59 Days to go

One The Venezia June 19th sailing. Was Finally able to Book the Dr. Suess Green Egg's and Ham Breakfast. Don't know if some one else canceled their cruise or if Carnival finally opened the breakfast up. Have been checking sense the turn over from Magic age's ago. Grand kids are sure going to be happy and i am off the hook as i have been talking about it. Can't wait to see some post about how the ship looks in May.

Whole bunch of cruises and Never sailed on same ship with Mar Q. We are on the Venezia June 19th second cruise out of NY. So we'll see and report back.
