    Dream vs Vista? What say you?

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    We are booked on our second Vista trip next March because we loved the Havana area. Booked a Havana interior so we could take advantage of the pool and hot tubs all day long. But we missed the Dreams hot tubs on the side of the ship on deck 5. For the price I would think it would be the Dream most definitely.

    Alchemy Question

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    I am wondering if it is a Vista thing... they had Blantons, ( really good bourbon for price point ). I asked for it with two rocks and the guy gave me a very hard time. He even got the rest of the patrons to try and talk me into letting him make it better....

     

     

     

    I simply told him, that unless he was a master distiller of bourbon, I would be good with it in a glass with 2 ice cubes please.

     

     

     

    I never went back, because it was not a good environment.

     

     

    Some people love it. I'm just a simpleton when it comes to drinks and I think it's because I wanted it in a highball glass and they dint like that. I'll get on in the stake house.

    Carnival not providing CC meet and greet party

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Was on the Vista in January and there was a M&M on the first sea day at like 11 am. The problem was that only a few people got the notice in their mail box outside their room. The woman that set the room up from CCL said they sent the message to those that signed up groups of people. Which I know is not correct. Only 8 showed if over 40 that signed up. I've been to a couple M&M on previous cruises that didn't have many show up. May not do this again in the future.

    Experiences with Cruise Critics Meet & Greet on Carnival

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    The M&M we had on the Vista Jan 28th cruise we had 10 people eventually show up. And of those I think 2 couples got a note in their cabin mail box. We did not. The person that was waiting at the door said that they gave the note to those that signed up a group of people. That wasn't true because one of those that got one only signed up for 2. And so did we. We had over 65 people signed up and 10 show. I think both CC and Carnival are at fault. We probably will not go to one again.

    Ji Ji Asian Kitchen

    Does Ji Ji's on the Vista have a menu for lunch that you can pay for like at Dinner? We really want to try some of their food but we have so many more dinner events (Steakhouse, Chefs Table) and like eating in the dining room as well and don't want to miss anything. I hope it's not just the Mongolian Wok for lunch. I like it but was hoping for Ji Ji's for lunch and don't mind the extra charge.

     

    Thanks

    Taking food back to your room

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    On our last trip on the Breeze I would get up and go to the omelette station to get breakfast for my wife and I. I would cover each plate with another plate turned upside down and stack them on top of each other. Worked nicely. We left the plates in the room each time but I have read that you really need to leave it all in the hall. I've always thought that looked so tacky.

    Meet & Greet

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Our roll call group has decided to set our own up on the first sea day. And if carnival sets one up as well, more fun for us[emoji322]. I do believe that those that sign up and then don't show up are letting all those down that really enjoy meeting new people at the M&M's. it's so enjoyable to meet people early in the cruise and then see them out and about during the rest of the cruise.

    Rolled the dice

    Is there such a thing as a double digit dance? If so, I'm late! 82 days and counting! Whooohoooo. Got 3 excursions booked. Final payment done. And looking at ordering in room beverages. The apparel in the Fun Shops online has gone down hill lately. We used to have a couple shirts waiting for us but what they have now is kind of lame. Wife wants the beach bag and towel set. [emoji12]

    HELP! Contacting a Passenger

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    We have used FB Messenger while on the ship and did video chat that didn't work too well with the video but you could hear them just fine. Just a little lag in the conversation every now and then. We used it to keep in touch with the kids while away. They are all adults but it was kind of fun with pictures back and forth. They felt like they were there with us the whole time.
