I just did the same thing. I noticed an excursion that had been missing is finally back for Nassau, I was thinking about it and than received that email.

What a great review. I definitely to hit one of these cruises heading north. Your review made it even more tempting.

They can search all they want, anything to keep that smell off the ship. That crap actually makes me sick.

Hope they straighten it out soon. I'm planning to pay off my cruise and book a few things.

Here's a link for a little info on it, pretty interesting https://ghostcitytours.com/charleston/haunted-places/poogans-porch/ You on this cruise and Jeff/Patty on the Venezia cruise are keeping me pretty busy. Keep those pics coming. Not sure if I'm more exciting about the cruise or Charleston, lol,

They used to say Poogan's was haunted by Poogan and fa ormer resident, Zoe. I went there in 2010 on my first Charleston trip. I thought it was limited than too. I'm sure the culinary tour is different now, but we did it back than too. Than was fun with lots of samplings. Definitely try it if you get the chance.

I'm sure I will, I love the older ships. My last cruise in Charleston was on Fantasy. I'll have to keep Acme in mind. We're going at a good time of year, so walking around downtown will be fun and easier with nice temps.

I was in cabin 5300 last year. I had bass noise issues. Definitely not engine room or other mechanics. I've heard that before and it didn't bother me. Somebody else said the same thing in another thread, I think it was noise on Pride? Other than that, it was a great room.

Love this review so far. I'll be on Sunshine at the end of April next year. I see Page's is just as good as ever. Can't wait to eat there. We'll be staying over in Patriots Point area too,

Some Bass seems to carry more than other noise. Had that happen on deck 5 of MG. Had it happen at home by a not so nice neighbor too. It's one of those things we have to hope to plan and avoid because no sound machine or earplugs work with it.

I've been stalking this forum waiting for your review. The wait is over! We had cancelled out Thanksgiving cruise. You are so right about the weekday travel there. As much as I hated to do it, my husband was so relieved we didn't have to mess with that. We will eventually sail her, but for now, we'll cruise looking through yours and Patty's eyes.

That's one thing I won't do. I always bring cash just for the gambling. Same thing I do when we go to Atlantic City. I can not trust myself to let loose on the account or a credit card.

HaHaHa, I didn't realize I did that until you replied.

I know better than call it a free cruise, maybe almost free, lol. $100 per day for husband and I, occasionally on the last night another $100. I usually get the $200 deposit free interiors and upgrade a couple hundred for a balcony, sometimes less. I just like paying a lower rate (including gambling expenses). Never hit anything big, but that's okay, it's fun trying as long as I don't go overboard.

It's word games, got the email too. Am I correct in saying the price goes up if you wait until you are onboard to buy? This is above the "Buy now" button in the email - " PAY ONE FLAT PRICE FOR YOUR SPIRITED BEVERAGES Save $10 per day (that’s $15 off new per day pricing onboard) when you book your Cheers! package now. So I'm guessing, it's 59 now, but will be 69. Now if you wait until you get on board, 74, that would be the extra 5? Either case, I'm not getting it, I don't drink enough anymore.

Thanks, I'll be meeting up with friends on the spring cruise and than family afterwards, so it should be great. I guess this cruise wasn't in the cards for me. Almost gave it up 2 months ago. My husband had trouble getting it approved. Got through that only to have all kinds of havoc this week. But maybe I'll treat myself to a $700 cabana this time. Maybe.

Can't wait to see it. Especially this one. I just had to cancel my November cruise, so not cruising until Spring, the horrors, lol.

Have a great time, are you doing a review when you get back. I'll be looking forward to it if you do.

I've heard the same thing here and there about this ship among other things. I'm going with a smile and will see how it goes. I love that tray idea. You had to mention MSC. MSC pizza is great and the yacht club ruined me. I get it being easier to navigate. Sitdown was right there if you chose and a nice buffet in the afternoon, not as many selections, but tasty and easy to navigate. I just don't have the budget to continue on those YC prices.

The raccoons seem to get along with the ferals. They may bicker over the cat food but nothing major. I caught them playing tug o war one night. Those raccoons know how to use their hands. No matter what spin we put on it, still sucks. I take it hard when they disappear.

I've had a few of my ferals disappear over the years that really made me sad. Pretty sure coyote got them.

Yeah, I've seen that too, Looks like $34.99 Details - Umbrella Rental: Relax under your very own umbrella on Half Moon Cay's stunning beach. Powdery white sand, turquoise waters – the perfect combo. Your umbrella comes with a carry bag, ultra-base, canopy, towel hooks, and nifty tools for beach setup.

Yeah I can remember doing the mad dash to guest services when I booked a last minute cruise that the cabanas were "sold out" online. My November Venezia cruise shows over 10 available on both types. My April cruise on Sunshine shows Villas sold out (probably before raise) and cabanas over 10 available. Now I noticed they added something new. Umbrellas, not sure how that's going to work. The way it reads, it sounds like they give you a bag with all the equipment to set it up yourself. I forgot the exact price, but cheaper than a clamshell. We may try that in November.

We wish it was overhyped. So much destruction. There are still homes that haven't been rebuilt, sadly just abandoned. I was lucky by about 2 blocks as far as home getting flooded out. Lived there for 25 years and never seen anything like it.

That's because Carnival decided to sweeten their own wallet by taking away the A/C from cabanas and villas yesterday. I'm sure we'll see even more going on.
