  1. Enjoying reading about your trip...looking forward to following along on the rest of your Cruise.
  2. Wishing you and your Mom a GREAT Cruise!!!! Looking forward to reading and following along.
  3. Kitty Corner to our Legislature Building (2nd Picture down) is a place called the Steamship Grill...it is one of the places we take any cruise friends or crew/staff we pick up at the Pier (Ogden Point) during during their stop in Victoria on their Alaska Cruise...when they advertise this as the best patio in Victoria they are not kidding...Their Patio overlooks the Inner Harbour and if you ask for a Table 'closest to the Empress' you would have a GREAT view of the Empress Hotel (THE Victoria Landmark), the Legislature Building, the Inner Harbour, the Songhees District, Olympic Mountains, etc...anytime we have cruising friends who we are picking up while they are on an Alaskan Cruise this is where we take them...Nice place for an Appy and a Drink
  4. Thanks for taking is along on another one of your Cruises! Have a Safe Trip Home!
  5. We stopped by this Bar on our way back to the Ship in November. The new (last year) Owners (Husband and Wife) of the Bar are from Kentucky and very nice....spent about a 1/2 hour chatting with us.
  6. Thanks for setting this Page up! We'll be on this Cruise with Dee's Brother and his Wife, and 2 friends from near Galveston in Texas, 2 from England and 2 from Chicago. Will be our 1st time to NYC so we are flying in for 2 Nights/1 Day (supposed to land at LGA at 7:40pm on Saturday, the 12th) before the Cruise and staying 3.5 days after the Cruise (fly out of LGA at 3:30pm on the 28th)...figure this will be a once-in-a-lifetime trip to NYC for us so we want to see and do as much as we can. As far as the Cruise goes we LOVE the Itinerary and are very much looking forward to it!!!
  7. From reading your past Reviews we've been looking to reserve one of the Pool Cabanas for our 11-day Carnival Venezia Cruise in October and only the Hillside and Ocean Cabanas are/have been advertised since we booked and we booked the Cruise in March of 2023 and looked at the Excursion list immediately. Because there's 10 of us we were looking to book the Private Oasis on HMC as well (have booked the Oasis twice before) and that was marked as 'Sold Out' back then. It's an Ultra Casino Cruise (we were invited but it would have cost us $ 1800.00 US more to book into the Ultra vs the casino Offer we used to book) so wondering if the Casino has the Oasis and the Pool Cabanas reserved/booked for the Ultra Group...don't expect you to know the answer as I was just thinking using a keyboard 🙂
  8. 100% agree with you on the Buffet layout on Carnival compared to some of the other Cuiselines... Thanks for your Review and glad you had some nice Port Days!
