Loved your review!  So helpful as we’ll be on her in a few weeks!  Thank you!

You are a riot!  I love your writing.  You should write a book about your adventures with your mother. It does remind me of my daughter and myself on a cruise and she kept writing things in her phone. Finally I asked about it and she said she was writing mumisms so the rest of the family would get a laugh!  Oh we just have to love our daughters!😳😃

I second Cortran.  Used them many times

I am a Usually silent but devoted follower of your travels and daily adventures. I just wanted to let you know that me and probably many others are in the background but are wishing you well

 

 

Agree 100%

There were some roving punks on the Venezia Transatlantic who were turned into security more than once. I wrote all over my review that Carnival needed to get a handle on this yesterday, but apparently not. We'll see what happens on my next Carnival cruise.

I just got off Venezia last week.  Evidently there were 3 fights during the week. I didn’t see them personally because I’m usually in my cabin by 10. What I did see at grand Turk at the pool was about 20 teenagers in the center of the pool screaming, pushing each other, and throwing each other around. Not a nice fun vibe at all.

I too am seriously going to look at other lines and I’m 2 days short of diamond but don’t think it’s worth it anymore. 

On the horizon last week. No hockey only basketball and baseball in the sports bar.  Disappointed .  Had to try to catch the scrolling scores. 

I’m curious too. Don’t want an all inclusive because we don’t drink so unfortunately paradise beach is probably out

Yes it’s shared. Pick up time is 9:45 

I just recently booked on viator  a round  trip transfer from Livorno to Florence. $85 for two people and they say guarantee on time back to ship

How are you feeling?  Hopefully a lot better

Just got off this ship.  As others have said it is an older ship, but kept clean.  The food in the dining room was good, but I thought guys just tasted like any other cheeseburger, but food is certainly subjective.  
     I had a nice enough time but my main complaint was in the lack of nighttime entertainment.  This was a 5 night, and there were only 2 nights of comedy and 1 show.  

I think she may mean being dropped off as opposed to driving and parking there. I also happen to have the same question as I’m taking a cruise from Charleston for the first time.  Everything I’ve read sounds very confusing but it seems to apply to parking and then getting to the terminal.  How is it if you’re just being dropped off by a taxi or Uber?

We’ve stayed at the intercontinental a few times and will be again the end of august. As far as breakfast, there is a Starbucks right in the hotel the location is great with bayside and other stores , markets to pick up pre cruise items. I go to cvs to take on my Diet Coke 

Thank you!  Very good to know

So very sorry to hear of your accident. Hope everything turns out well. I really enjoyed your review and very sorry your trip had to end this way. Prayers to you!

Thank you for this hilarious review!  You are a great writer.  Enjoying it so much😀

Can you just go off on your own to a beach in Bimini?
 

Can’t wait to hear every detail you want to share!  We’re on her in September. Can’t wait! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us hear about your vacation!  Have an absolute blast

Yes please!!!! I’m desperate to read reviews again. Also booked on the Paradise for next January .. any pre cruise info would be great too!,  thank you!

Yes, it will sail as long as it’s finished. I have May 1 booked. My personal opinion, is sailings will resume before end of year 

I need advice/opinions please. I had my Jan paradise out of Tampa cancelled.  

Ive found another cruise around the same date  January 2021 on the elation out of port canaveral. 

     Do you think I should book it?  I hate to give them more money for another deposit though not really having a ton of confidence that it will sail. 

     Should I wait it out or book now?  I’m really desperate to cruise and will go along with any restrictions. Has anyone had any luck using their original deposit to book another cruise?

thanks for any opinions

I usually try to book a noon flight out of Port Canaveral and I have plenty of time. It’s about 45 minutes to an hour to get from port to airport. I always use Contran’ shuttle round trip. I hope they are still in business because they are really great, dependable and reasonable. 

Just checked my cruise planner. All 3 of my cruises are still showing. Sept13 2020,

Jan and May 2021.  So hope everything is still a go. 

I enjoyed your diary soooo much. As others have said you are a wonderful and talented writer. I couldn’t stop reading. Very belated congratulations to both of you !
