So what? People get the idea, no conveyances left overnight in the passageways.

Your boarding passes will be marked Priority and theirs will not.

Those automated recliners are big. Persons also travelling with a scooter should be aware that parking scooters overnight in the hallways is prohibited. Good luck however you decide.

You're welcome lol

Your cruise director said you'd arrive on time because you didn't port in Cabo due to the hurricane situation. I'm surprised you weren't there by 5am 🙂

I think it's a reference to a TV ad campaign where people were mistaken for being in a profession who were not but they " did stay in a Holiday Inn last night."

What’s so “fun” about Carnival?
sanmarcosman replied to Bound4Bermuda's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I first used a fantail as a driving range on Cunard's QE2 when standard golf balls were used. By the late '80s over the side driving was discontinued and the on board golf pro had us use a driving range net to work on our swing. The range net is something that could be brought back to add more fun to Carnival but I doubt there would be a golf pro there. Good times. -

The shotguns were locked away in the early '90s and never returned. I seriously doubt the days of firing live ammunition from a ship will ever return. It makes for a great memory however. -
What’s so “fun” about Carnival?
sanmarcosman replied to Bound4Bermuda's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We still have fun on our Carnival cruises after the 32 years we have sailed with them. Are there some fun activities we miss? Sure. I miss para-mutual betting and the excitement of the poolside horse races and skeet shooting from the fantail. Today there are two comedy acts a night which is a fun tradeoff. With Carnival our experience has been when one fun activity is discontinued something fun takes its place. -

Daily Housekeeping and Sofa Bed

We find it easy to take off the lightweight mattress and fold it up and place it in the drawer under the sofa. -

Do you know the Warwick NYC has a sister property in Dallas? Same owner who lives in Paris but born in Hong Kong. The Dallas property is the second to the last he purchased in the U.S. with Chicago being the last. Seattle opened in 1981. https://www.warwickhotels.com/warwick-melrose-dallas/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=seo -
In November I asked on the Magic if they offered the steakhouse brunch and was told no, that it was an experiment on certain ships that never took off. I wanted to go to it instead of the MDR brunch when the strip loin made its first appearance at brunch. I would have paid just to get the petite filet.

NO, this replaced the flat iron 4 years ago before the covid shutdown. -

I have no idea. I was taught never to write on a library book and not to fold down the corner of a page but to use a bookmark. -

I cherish my first edition copy that Mr. Lord signed for me. It was my favorite book in 7th grade. After Dr. Ballard discovered the wreck Walter Lord wrote a second updated version of the book based on evidence found by the dive team. It is called The Night Lives On and clears up many details e.g. Jack Thayer was correct when he said he saw the ship break apart in two just after the third funnel and the bow and stern went down separately. Sadly, the tragedy continues to this day. Superstitions ran high among some of the survivors interviewed by Mr. Lord.
