Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hi, We boarded yesterday out of Miami. So much has been written about the Celebration already. I thought I’d add few brief comments herre: Sweet Tooth:I was looking forward to a slice of confetti cake . After talking with a worker at the Buffet’s , it turns out Celebration doesn’t offer the “Whole Cake” Station. Just the stand dessert station. Hand Washing: I really liked the modernized version they had on some ships. Elevator: Again I missed the system they had on the Panorama. I did LOVE: The overall feeling of spaciousness in so many areas of the ship. Lots of chairs everywhere too! Our Balcony cabin. The real shower door 🙂 Rudi’s Seagrill for dinner last night, (think that’s the name). Mark ordered the seafood bisque, Mac ‘n Lobster, Buttered Lobster (w tails) and key lime pie. He loved each course! I ordered the Coquillos (sp?) St Jacques and buttered lobster tail. Key Lime pie to go for later in the night. EVERTHING SO Delicious 😋 Right now we’re at sea. It’s overcast. I’m betting the sun will come out later. i have my Pasta Class this morning at 10:00. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  2. My husband and I had lunch here on our cruise in September. I chose the salmon (tasty) and another fish. Darn, I cannot remember the name. It was so deliciously moist, smooth and is “delicate” a proper term ?? to describe a taste? Just the best!! 😋😋😋 Bobbi
  3. 😁😁 Success …. Today marks 40 Days till our cruise AND the Kitchen Cooking Classes are finally available!! 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  4. Hi, The meetings are “run” by whoever attends. If you want to attend, I can’t see why you’d not be welcome. My husband, myself & son are all sober & in Recovery. It’s always been nice to meet fellow alcoholics/addicts in these meetings. I personally have never asked someone if they “belong” in the room there on the ship 😂. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  5. Hi, I booked this cruise oh about 4 months ago. From the day I booked, I started buying my extras . That included wanting to ink my Carnival Kitchen Class. I’m serious … I have gone online everyday since, looking to see if the classes have been listed under the Speciality Dining. Not one class. ☹️🙁 Bobbi
  6. I can’t recall a cruise (RCCL or Carnival) where there hasn’t been a meeting offered. As we AA’ers know, not always well attended, but we only need 2 📘💙. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  7. FYI: I ended up calling Carnival. I first spoke to someone “Already Booked Your Cruise” Option. He saw nothing either & transferred me to “Fun Shops”. She also looked up my cruise & searched online somewhere. 🙂 Bottom Line: She is unable to view IF they already offered Carnival Kitchen. So, obviously doesn’t know if it just sold out. Her suggestions — Keep checking online everyday (I Do! 🙂). Still nothing offered by the day of the cruise, ask at Guest Services. So no new ideas but now I know 100000% that there is no help available on this subject via Carnival phone rep’s. Keeping my fingers crossed as I continue to obsessively look at my cruise each day sigh 😊🤞🏼 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  8. Hi, Tomorrow will be 48 days till our Celebration cruise and still no Carnival Kitchen options listed. Yes, looking at the Speciality Dining under my Booking. Thanks, 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  9. Hi, Mark wasn’t ever in a band, sorry, guess it was another Mark who worked for Carnival. Yes, our son worked onboard a few years before the 2020 Covid shutdown. He went back to the Fun Squad on the Panorama very briefly in 2021. But, he felt like the mask police & that too many of guests were giving the staff a hard time. The general loss of manners. He’s doing well and is working with his Dad in our family owned business - 30+ years! Mark will take it over one day. So, it all worked out. 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  10. I have a Celebration cruise beginning the last weekend in January. Chris Williams is on the most current Carnival CD List (as of a few days). Sorry to hear this news. I actually notice the CD’s. Guess it’s from the days when our son was a member of Fun Squad. One of the guys he worked with, Alex, was promoted to CD. Nice guy too! 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
  11. Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep looking. There isn’t even ONE class in ANY of the different items they offer in the classes. Only 6 restaurant reissues are listed. 2 Bonsai Teppy (L+D), the kids Breakfast in the MDR, the Steakhouse & forgot the 2 others. Maybe something will pop up … 🛳️ Bobbi
  12. Hi again, Well, I looked under Speciality Dining. A total of 6 options are available right now. None being any of the Carnival Kitchen experience. I figure that all the SOLD OUT Speciality Dining (and pay Restaurants) options are not listed. Such as the Kitchen. Our cruise is booked sorta last minute … only 90 days out. I usually book a year or more in advance. So, guessing the “beggars can’t be choosy” cliche might be fitting here .. Oh well … an experience for a future cruise. Thanks again, 🛳️ Bobbi
  13. Thank you, appreciate the quick response. I’ll go over to Carnival & hopefully will be able to book one ! 😁 🛳️ Bobbi
  14. Hi, Booked on the Celebration for late January. I thought I read that this was one of the ships that offered the “Kitchen” experience … making pasta, cakes, etc etc. I know someone knows … Thank You … 🛳️🛳️ Bobbi
