I don't drink, but when we finally get on the boat, I am going to get the drink of the day in the Red Frog Rum Bar Tervis. I got the Blue Iguana Tervis last cruise, and want the Red Frog one too!
I did this on our first cruise. I am not a big drinker but decided to branch out and I tried the drink of the day every day. Found some I liked and some I gave to the hubby!

The change from Coke to Pepsi would negate my Cheers purchase. I will bring my 12 pack of coke product and buy a bottle from the onboard shop..

Spaghetti carbonara and chocolate melting cake.

Our only time to Nassau we heard all don't bother stories too. We got off, walked into the port area and had a bite to eat. We really enjoyed the Straw Market and we can say we "went" to Nassau!!

I have only cruised princess and Carnival and enjoyed both.

Lido, midship!!
-
We reserved one at Princess Cay several years ago and I think we got to pick our location. However, there was not ventilation and we roasted!! Next time we just opted for umbrellas and chairs.

First drink has to be a Funship Special!
-
Lido is our favorite!! Love the convenience of having food and drinks as well as the pool just steps away. And the cabin is close enough for potty breaks and in case we forget something.

Love Sting Ray City in Grand Cayman! Our boat ride out wandered thru a residential area that had beautiful homes.

I am sorry, but they are hot to sit in all day. You get no breeze. Just sit under a shelter, plenty to choose from.
We, also, found that to be the case. Hubby says that is the hottest he has ever been. I would opt for an umbrella.

We rented a clam shell and found it to be very hot. There was no ventilation so no cross breeze. I would choose a regular umbrella next time.
-
We prefer Lido, also..

Magnets from ports of call are on my childrens list.

The hold lasts several days(maybe a week) after you return from your cruise.

We learned to slow down. First cruise we thought we had to do/see everything available. Since the we may or may not book excursions. A lazy day on an almost empty ship is great!!

OTC and prescription meds. Copies of Passport just in case. My Kindle with lots of new books loaded on it and a relaxed attitude. I don't care if you wear a hat in the main dining room or if you come to Lido in your bathrobe. I will not let it ruin my trip!!

Tea Time!!
-
I have a Vera Bradley that is plastic kind of fabric. The bottom portion unzips and I love it. Also Lily Pulitzer is having a great sale with some really nice bags for a good price.
-
We purchased ours at a Walgreens near our hotel the morning of the cruise.
-
Chocolate Mocha Getaway is a really good after dinner dessert type drink!
-
The spaghetti carbonara that they serve on elegant nights is always a must have.
Yes!!

Spaghetti Carbonara is great.

I plan my sea days around tea time! Love to try the different teas and goodies!!
****CARNIVAL CRUISERS: HOW ARE THINGS WHERE YOU LIVE???
in Carnival Cruise Lines

We live in a small rural town and our home is about 5 miles outside of town. We live on a farm so the farm life is good for social distancing. Grandchildren were here some last week and had a ball running thru pastures picking every buttercup in sight!
Our grocery stores are still open but certain items are hard to find. I think early mornings are best because they are restocking shelves and meat counters. The few restaurants in town have gone to pick up or drive thru only. Pharmacies are still open as are the hardware store and banks(they are only drive thru at this time).
The effect on our town is probably not as hard as big cities because we are used to fewer stores and activities. Folks here love to ride 4 wheelers on their farm and go fishing. I guess we practiced social distancing in a way before it was mandated!!
