Yes, you can.

Sadly it appears this no longer works.

I was on two sailings prior to yours (2/4) and agree with almost everything here. Especially the French onion soup temperature. LOL.

We watched the "World Works Here" show which was quite cringeworthy. Gabe was trying hard to convey how much he cared about all the nationalities and then didn't know what several of the flags were when they were coming out. They did the 80's Pop show sitting down on my sailing as well but we figured it was due to the rough seas (probably the rockiest I've ever felt in my 17 cruises).

Hi @hurricane0226🙂

 

On Freedom the 3 Playlist shows in the main theater (Victoriana Theater) are:

 

 

88 Keys

Getaway Island

80's Pop To The Max

 

 

 

🍹

I was on 3 weeks ago and they did Heart of Soul & 80's Pop to the Max.

We did the cupcake class on Mardi Gras a couple of months ago and it was a good time. It was about an hour long. You made the cupcake batter, but they actually had a pre-mixed batter that was actually baked. I don't remember what the reason was for that. You made your own frosting which you used and then topped with sprinkles and other toppings. You also made your own melting cake which was pretty cool. It was sometimes hard to follow along with the chef due to a heavy accent, but they would slow down if you had questions.

You can definitely bring it back to the cabana. We did this when we rented one last year.

Thanks for the info!  Would be interested in hearing if anything has changed when you're on Mardi Gras regarding dinner!

I am happy to report that kid's dinner was back every night besides embarkation day 🙂 

You would drop the kids off/sign in directly at the Family Harbor Lounge for dinner, and they would take them to Camp Ocean after dinner. Assuming this is back on Magic I would guess it's back on Lido like before.

We were on Magic back in March of this year and at the time, it was only open for short stints of a couple hours at a time then closed for cleaning (or whatever), no Night Owls, and you had to make a reservation on Hub. However, in July we were on Liberty and everything was pretty much back to normal, Night Owls included, and no reservations. Still no dinner at Lido though. We’ll be on Mardi Gras next week and I’m hoping they’ve brought back the dinner.

Some of the conquest class ships are adult only in the aft pool. Glory was in March. 

Adult Only was definitely enforced on Liberty this week. It was storming/lightning one day for much of the day and the roof was closed. Not much for the kids to do and I witnessed the attendants turning them away time after time.

I think we'd of heard more chatter about this if it was the case, I am guessing it was a misunderstanding and that masks are not required by the children.  

It was certainly not a misunderstanding on my sailing. They were required for the kids. If they didn’t have one when dropped off, they were given a paper one by the staff before being allowed in. Not a big deal and the kids were fine with it. This may vary by sailing. 

Double post 

I’m currently on Magic (8 day) and it seems to vary by port due to time ashore. I can confirm night owls is operating.

Hub is showing the following:

Today (San Juan)

7am-5pm

7pm-10pm

Night Owls 10-midnight

Friday (Grand Turk)

9:30am-5pm

7pm-10pm

Night Owls 10-midnight 

Sea Days

9am-12pm

2pm-4pm

7pm-10pm

No night owls on the last night. 

A couple of observations:

- They’re not doing dinner at lido like they used to pre-pandemic. This is sad since it’s hard for the little ones to sit through 110 minute dinners (another story).

- Reservations are recommended but not required. This is based on capacity when you arrive.

- Supposedly the closures throughout the day are to deep clean. Based on experience this week it wouldn’t make a difference. Due to the limited hours, huge lines and crowds form at drop off time when the next session opens. I would think if it was just open all day like it used to be, crowds would be more spaced out.

- Masks are required. This is only area on the ship where this is the case this week.

 Deck 2 cabins in any location can have noise from crew areas below.

Plus the galley and/or dining room above.

Was Camp Ocean doing dinner with the kids at Lido? In normal times you could drop off the kids at Lido at 6:00 and they would give them dinner then take them back to Camp Ocean. 

From John's videos on FB, it looks like the only noticeable remaining decor is the Cupid (or whatever that is) paintings opposite the glass elevators.

I've never been able to figure this out. It worked for me on Magic on the Value Plan this September (my carrier is Verizon). Seems to be hit or miss/comes and goes randomly.

Probably a dumb question but you never know… if I buy a multi pack for my wife and I, does this come with multiple virtual visits, or just one for them to make sure you do the test correctly, then you’re on your own for the rest of the tests which would not be accepted?

There is a treasure trove on this channel that I found last night.

I’d like to think they will shake things up a bit to get the locals near ports interested. I love Liberty and all but it’s been at PC for at least 3 years now and I’ve been on it 3 times since.

during the transatlantic to the shipyard, they are did some work on the ship and from what i saw on various sites that posted pictures. the inside of the ship is already gutted. there is no turning back. the transformation of the victory is happening and i wont be surprised to see it sit at the shipyard for many months. most likely both carnival and shipyard has an agreement to wave any additional fees due to the additional time in drydock

Where can we see the pictures of what they’ve done so far?

Over the past couple years the only times I’ve seen it get “busy” would be right around opening time at 11 or so. I’ve gotten a couple of bread bowls over the years which are very good and only $4 I believe.

It was a cluster on Liberty a couple weeks ago where probably 75% of people decided to do self assist. Should have known when there were still early tags available late into the night. We ended up just lugging our bags down the stairs since the elevators were jammed.

I have friends sailing on the Sunshine this weekend and I'm sailing on the Breeze in January.  Does anyone know if these ships offer this?

There were two events last week on Breeze. We went to the first one and they made coasters. 

On Breeze last week the pitchers were on half price happy hour for a couple hours one afternoon on a port day. Can’t beat it for $10. 

Interesting. I was on Breeze last week and the photos could still be downloaded on your phone for $19.99. If you bought more you got a discount on each.
