Not working here, either.

Welcome back. That's so sad about the recent food on the Freedom. We sailed her in July and found the food good in the main dining room at that time. I would have been disappointed had I been served what you described. I do agree that the ship is dark and in need of a good cleaning and paint job, but we had a good time, otherwise. I don't think it was a favorite Carnival ship for me. Looking forward to our upcoming Horizon!

We've sailed Celebrity and keep coming back to Carnival for price and fun. We loved Celebrity, but found that the staff was a bit standoffish as if they were told not to interact with the passengers much. I love speaking with the crew and where they are from. It adds something special to cruising for me. You will not find table cloths or white glove service or sommeliers on Carnival. You will find good music and entertainment and good pools and bar service and many free dining options. Go with an open mind, you'll have fun!

Just ordered the Mifaso. Thanks, EnglceDave. You are right, Virginiab, Cruise Critic DOES save you money!

Thank you, thank you for taking us on your cruise with you and W. It was a blast! So much of what you described was sooooo real in my life too. I love your sense of humor and your writing style. Thanks for sharing!

Too funny! Does W do that to you in stores while your shopping? MIne will walk off down another aisle or stop and look at canned oysters or shoes or something. I'll be talking away and turn around and he is GONE. More than once I started talking to someone, NOT my spouse, and tried to put things in someone's basket, thinking surely he's right behind me with the buggy. We are taking our first B2B to celebrate our anniversary and my retirement. 14 days with him on the Horizon. Is it big enough?? Can't wait!!🙄

OMG! Wildra, I think you must be mixed up...….you just described my husband and me so accurately. I was laughing so hard when I read this and called my daughter and read it to her. She asked if you were talking about us!! I LOVE your writing style and sense of humor. Please continue!

Wow! If I did the math correctly, that comes out to about $10 for a two ounce pour. (60ml) No thanks!

Here are some pictures of the "inside" cabin and the deck just forward of it on the Horizon. I would assume that all of the Vista class ships are the same.

I've never purchased a bottle for the room, but just knowing they took that option away, really bothered me. I think I'll purchase one now, just because I can!! (And we are not doing Cheers this time.)

Carnival will list some of the obstructed view cabins as interiors and prices them accordingly. We have one of the front view deck 7 cabins for our B2B on the Horizon. We have that "secret deck" in front of us that is accessible. The casino price was too good to pass up. I hope being up front under the bridge will be okay!!

Cruisinsly: Are you coming back to the boards to give us some pictures from the cruise? Would love to know more about it!!

Looking forward to our first B2B on the Horizon. We booked them weeks apart and have to move cabins.....2 doors down! Should be easy for our steward. And I can "messy" pack since I'll be unloading the luggage quickly in the new cabin. I had heard that they will move your hanging items without having to pack them. Does anyone know if that is still true on the Horizon?

Thank you, sunnyv. I've made a reservation with them.

What an awesome hubby you have! Nice bling!
