My mom uses the wheelchair assistance to embark and disembark and we utilize the porter service for her suitcase. Sorry about your injury.

Good to know! Last time I ported at La Romana it was a parking lot and a few vendor stalls.

La Romana is not a favorite port of mine. Thank you for the review!👍😁

I wonder, if DH and I were seated at sea day brunch, could we order it as our Platinum benefit and it wouldn’t count in our Cheers 15? Hmmmm….

We usually have Cheers and don’t even think about it.😁

I looked at RC's Ultimate World cruise and it's definitely a chunk o' change! I wonder what Carnival would charge in comparison? Even a 2 month segment (like RC has available) would be awesome!

Did Karl have any "seasickness" issues?

Lovely report! When my DDs were little, they would try anything Carnival had on the menu. Jumpy chicken (frog legs) was a favorite along with escargot. Your granddaughters made me think of that😻 Happy that you all had a great time!!

Where do the rescued people stay? Or does the Coast Guard (or some other official entity) take them to a land facility so they don't stay on ship? TIA!

What a great way to celebrate your DD's bday!!😍

I read both of your blogs on Bermuda but didn’t notice if you could exit the ship when you wanted or had to wait till a designated time. Thanks for any info!

I love Hawaii!! I’m sorry you won’t be stopping in Maui.

The House-made Burrata was soooo good!

Great start!! Looking forward to more😺!!

Has Karl ever been on a cruise?

The kids make a sweet couple!!

Here is the schedule for the port. If I’m reading this correctly, Venezia is docked at Heritage Wharf till 4pm on September 4 when we dock at 8am. Then we (Pride) will be at the dock alone until September 6 when Serenade of the Seas arrives at 10am and we depart at 12pm. Does that look correct?

Looking forward to it!!

I usually get Titos and cranberry.

Thanks for the info! I’m trying to plan our Thursday (the one full day) with a visit to the Caves and I was planning on buying tickets (I’ve read on CC that the Caves can get booked up) and I was hoping on catching the earliest ferry to Hamilton. If I can’t get off the ship before 10am, my plans get pushed later and later. It’s a conundrum 🤷🏻‍♀️

DH and I have a Bermuda cruise Sept 1, 2024. We port at the Dockyard in Bermuda Wednesday, Sept 4 at 8am, according to my Cruise Manager. The next morning Thursday, Sept 5 my Cruise Manager says 10am. We don't leave Bermuda till Friday, Sept 6 at 12pm. What does "10am" mean? Does the ship move and come back at 10am? Can I not get off the ship before 10am on Thursday? Thanks for any insight!

With the Grand Prize, Snickers on a Stick!😉

I bet you're right!!

It's interesting how the attitude of a typical friendly, welcoming Carnival worker to a surly, discontent Carnival worker is such a large contrast. Maybe if Precious worked at McDonald's we wouldn't notice her negativity but on a Carnival cruise, she sticks out like a sore thumb.

DH and I stopped at a charming cafe just up the hill from Hadrian's Library called Klepsidra Cafe if you're looking for a break from shopping. I have pictures in my review on page 24.
