Buffettfan 225

Any new “fun times” or menu updates? Also did you feel buffet was expanded more, our was lacking in lunch meats at all, no basic salads and dressings, jellos - just premade ceasar. Plus they only used one side of buffet.

Perhaps the gardens were not in season end Feb when we were there. I was looking fwd mosaic tile, and photo ops but passed on time. Not saying ian’t worth it, but with a rental golf cart and rate..choices had to be made.

Thank you - was the assigned dining deck 4 sunrise? Back end Feb cruise we noted sewage smell port side as left lido to cabins there, and often by alchemy bar.

I do not know regarding your arrival time, but can say- try and back into spot. When leaving cruise, it becomes near impossible to back up with cars gridlocked coming sown.

Husband almost 95% from last weeks positive covid test and having to cancel Best medicine, I rebooked this cruise for Aug. Question- did they use both dining rooms now? our senior parents now joining us, and requested fixed early dining. Just wondering- assume Sunrise deck 4?

Do you bring a non surge protected extension cord for fan then?

These are from Carnival Radiance sailing Feb 28-March4. The last full cruise of mask requirements, and water temps were pool activity prohibitive,and vaccinated (mostly.) Passenger count approx. 1190. So may affect changes in future, perhaps our crruise was scaled back. Camp Ocean:

We are in Ensenada, using my internet thru hot spot on my cell thru Verizon. Mexico no extra charge with Verizon. I will type more later have all menus and first two days fun times. #1- BRING A COOLER - see website of Carnival for size limit. The refrigerator in room is a glorified “cooler” but our cups of ice in it melted as a test. I would call it a bread box cube. There is only a vented fan, no longer has a condenser type. We brought three hydroflask bottles and put ice in them and asked attendant for an ice bucket. - the ice stations on lido best ones are the sides by iguana and guys. Lido Buffet one often slow or empty. Same goes for ice cream stations, the best one is a by stairs across from Bok Bok chicken (Shaq’s chicken.) It is less melty as gets less traffic. #2- 1100 passengers this week, they said a lot more next week. Walking around especially at night feels like last night of cruise, eerily quiet. #3 Embarkation security pretty lax. we carried our hydroflasks full of water and they took them and walked around handed back. I had put an empty plastic water bottle in outside to fill later, “no plastic on board miss …ok but missed one in bag already. I have always used Container store nalgeen travel bottles for liquids as never leak. I had a whole one of Dimetapp as moisture can cause me to cough. But others were full of “special” suntan creme from the Irish ☘️. I did wrap all cosmetics and items like that in a vacuum bag - just in case, and makes it annoying at security if have to open. None of bags were opened. Same with getting back on from Catalina- just handed hydroflasks back. #4 Ensenada today just announced to get off & on need Gov ID, Carnival room key & VACCINATION CARD. I happen to find for $1.50 a vinyl holder meant for vax card at Walgreens at register. Can attach vinyl holder to lanyard if wish. I am just zipping all mine in for security in bag as have seen lanyards on cruises in wind flip off people. Going to breakfast now- will post later, or look for any questions here.
