This reminds me of when the cargo ship hit the old skyway bridge here in Tampa. I wasn’t alive for it but the article ext on it were quite horrific. 
 

Hopefully search and rescue saved everyone. I can imagine the fear of being on that bridge and having it fall out from under you. 

This situation is scary similar to Baltimore but that one happened due to a freak storm pushing a barge into the bridge and more pedestrian traffic was on the bridge when it collapsed. It is also one of the bridges that cruise ships barely scrape under when pulling out of port.

We would not pay the going rate unless we were sharing with another couple. We do have one booked for our April Vista cruise, but that was booked at the old rate. We would be happy with the VIP area right next to the pool cabanas, where for around $100 you can get two nice padded loungers, umbrella, pool noodles, floats, unlimited slide and zip line, plus a dedicated server. 

 

I will wave over at your cabana from the cheap seats.

Maybe they should think about sone moving sidewalks on these massive ships.🤪🏃‍♂️👩‍🦯

Sitting in her Atrium right now enjoying a Funship

Can't wait to see all of her new options. PS...that looks pretty yummy.

A big welcome home to the Vista. Back in port all shinny and new. Can not wait to see the first reviews on her.💝

I was on the carnival Magic last year in a cove and had to have a cabin move. All night long it sounded like someone was ramming a tank into the side of the ship.  But last year I was also on the Carnival Mardi Gras had a cove and it was wonderful. So really, I guess it depends on what ship you take.

I live at exit 38. A few exits before Kingsland. They are building a brand new Buc ees at exit 42. Just broke ground Monday. Should be ready for you next year!

They have broken ground on a new Buc-ee's in Virginia just north of New Kent County off I 64.  I have family near there so my need to make more visits to see them. 😋

I love my tag holders. Pay once use forever. I'm sad to say that I have seen many a paper tag and even taped over tags that have been stapled laying on the ground in the halls where they are distributing the luggage and then get that little " have you seen this luggage in your cabin " letter. REAL hard to knock these plastic tag holders off of your luggage. And let's face it...the porters do a great job but they don't baby your luggage. 🙏 lord love them🙏

Just like they get 2 free bottles of water, and 2 free fanny packs, they'll get 2 helpings of free laundry.

Thank you. I'll let him know.

Freind asked me if two platinum people on a 7 day they get 3 bags of laundry each or just 3 bags per cabin. I have only the laundry one time so not much info about that from me.

Loving your review. Going on the Vista after drydocking and can't wait to hit the deck.

We always choose a fixed dining time and HOPE that we end up sitting at a table with other couples -  and if we don't get along with our tablemates (which honestly, is rare) it becomes a great story to tell to others about the cruise!   

 

I just wonder how many times WE'VE been the subject of other folks "great" stories about their cruises!! 

here's my favorite, so far.  We had a very nice older lady on one of our cruises who was sailing with her teenaged granddaughter.  (granddaughter was maybe 13 years old)  During dinner the young lady was all proper, had manners and spoke very well.  During the day, when we'd see her - she had her shirt tied up (so that a lot of skin was showing) and she was galivanting around the ship with 4 boys that were around her age...  she was wearing lots of make-up and flirting incessantly with the boys (at one point we saw her grab one of the boys in the nether regions!)    She was a COMPLETELY different kid when she wasn't around her grandmother!!   And my daughter (who was 15 at the time) and I laughed at the comparison and wondered if the grandmother had any idea of how her granddaughter acted when she was off on her own!

Shoot...If we put a hidden camera on our kids and grandkids when they hit their teens they would never make it to 21 without shekels and a ball and chain on them. Heck when i was a teen in the 60s as soon as I got to school, I would flip the waistband of my skirt over so my skirt would be a mini, put on some lipstick and blush that I had hidden in my locker and boom I went from little girl with braids to a groovy chic💄. We all did it and you know it...The bad part is every generation pushes the level of what they show off and what they could do in public farther and farther. We are only a few generations from pasties and thongs walking in the mall shopping.🤯

Dinner AND a show!

 

I also learned how to properly pic my teeth with a fork.😁

Be careful what you wish for. On a Magic cruise we went on last year we sat at with a woman and her husband, and she really enjoyed her wine. How would I know this?...wellll she stated that " I Love My Wine and I Don't Care Who Knows It " with raised voice for all to hear about 7 times. We are talking about to the point that phones started pointing at our table. Spilled a glass of wine on the table and she shoes came off at one point because her GD feet were killing her. You could see her husband melting into his seat. Not a young filly who can't hold her drink , a woman of ripe age.  PS it was formal night. Now I always cross my fingers for a table for two.😒

EFFY has some very beautiful designs. Right now, he is selling allot of nautical designs. Compass with lapis and diamond, manta rays, whale tails, star fish and items like that. I worked in the trade from wax to finished project, so I speak with some knowledge about jewelry. They are mass market but still hold their value somewhat well. 

I wonder if they will change over to the smart elevator system that they put on the Horizon and the Panorama ?

Ypu can look all you want, but I'm fairly certain nobody is hiding emeralds. The ones you find in the onboard jewelry shop can be really expensive- ducks are free.

Shoot.. I wish they would hide some emeralds!!! you guys would see me flippin chairs looking for those bad boys.😃👀

Far Out....free towels. Someone could stuff them in their luggage you know who would get charged.

AHHHHH... I'm closing my eyes right now feeling those deck chairs beneath me. Not looking out my window at snow flurries and cold rain😶‍🌫️

We are watching “The Sting”. Such a great movie!! See you tomorrow at Embarkation 😁

Great Minds...I watched The Sting on Sunday.

So yes, I just looked at my cruise contract and ALL passengers are limited to 15 alcoholic drinks per day. I know that they have had many issues with passengers being rowdy and drinking too much but it almost feels like when I was a child, and one sibling broke a vase and all of us were punished for it.
