Our Carnival Vista B2B - Havana Style - (with pics!) - 4/14/24
d-train replied to Jamman54's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Back on board with you again! Wish we were truely on board!! 4 more weeks of school! LOL!! Love that Havana pool! Enjoyed that on Horizon very much. Your amber cove cabana is the only one we have not had yet too! Love those pool cabanas! Sometimes I have a passing thought that we are missing something else on the island, but then get to that cabana and forget all about that thought... Looking forward to your adventures in the ABCs! Will will be on the Celebration run down to the ABCs this July! Woot! -
Saint Greg's Carnival Horizon ABC - Live - April 27, 2024
d-train replied to Saint Greg's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thanks so much for posting your vaca again! We are doing the ABC itinerary in July - love seeing the preview! That instrument with the bells is called a carillon. I used to play a regular Saturday carillon concert in the last town I lived in. Fun instrument! -
There is a thalasotherapy pool - but more the size of a hot tub... Nice view over the ocean too!
-
Love the thermal suite on Horizon! Which ever way you choose, you will enjoy the spa!

Mardi Gras..... How long from the front to the back?
d-train replied to Drrandall's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
It is also longer when returning from a long hot port day. -
I usually take a small fan too. I recommend packing it in your checked luggage.

Phone number for booking Carnival Kitchen??
d-train replied to Markmom18's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Same experience for our upcoming Celebration sailing. Last year on MG, Carnival Kitchen did not get loaded online until about 30 days prior to sailing... We will all keep on checking every day I suppose...LOL! -
My LONG Celebration Story - 11/26/23 to 12/03/23
d-train replied to mlshum's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thank you for sharing your vaca with us! We will be on board Celebration in just a short 30 weeks from now... Love seeing the pictures! -
We purchased the thermal suite on MG last summer - loved it! Those heated loungers are wonderful - as well as the hot tub thing in the center! Planning to purchase for Celebration this coming summer too...
-
Thanks for sharing your vaca with us all! I especially enjoyed your review of Aruba and Curacao, we will be going there (and Bonaire) this coming summer for the first time. We were thinking of doing the tour on aruba you shared, but it seems like several places are just ruins of nice things to see from the past. I think we will stick to going to the beach, just need to decide Eagle or Baby - or maybe both! Long day at port...

No USB-C ports in the cabin at all. Bring an adapter...

Carnival Celebration ..Carnival “Kitchen” still an option??
d-train replied to Markmom18's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We sailed Mardi Gras last summer, the Carnival Kitchen did not populate until about 6 weeks prior. Keep checking! as I will be for our Celebration sailing next July! enjoy and share a trip report when you return! -
How did it work out with the golf cart rental? By any chance, did you see 4 seaters available?
-
I agree - Those new machines with the beans on top do a much better job than the older machines on older ships that use the bag of liquid concentrate. The lido coffee on Mardi Gras was just fine. Although if you want the specialty coffees - i.e. capachino, machiato, etc..., Java Blue is the place to go.

Saint Greg's Venezia Transatlantic May 29, 2023
d-train replied to Saint Greg's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
If it is not too late, here is another good italian option. If you have ever seen Lydia on PBS, this is her NYC restaurant. Been there a few times, and her place in Pittsburgh several times, (which is now closed...). https://www.becco-nyc.com/ -
My wife went through a similar situation on our Horizon sailing a few years ago. She shared with our server her intolerance for a few ingredients. While the intolerance happens when those couple of ingredients are uncooked, and it varies day by day, some days there is no issue, other days there is an issue. But no issues when those ingredients are cooked. They had difficulty understanding the details, similar to your details the way you described them. Almost all of her dishes were prepared individually for her, and they were rough. After the first evening of that, she did not mention it again, and if those ingredients were on a dish, and were raw - like in a salad - she left them on the plate.

Anyone know of a company that rents golf carts on Bonaire that will seat 3 people?
-
We have stayed on board a couple times at Nassau. Loved having the ship "to ourselves" very much. Or very nearly anyway... Those were great afternoons at the pool not having to jockey for space for sure!
-
Interesting observation! I looked in my cruise manager too - looks like tips are at the $14.50 rate for us too, for a sailing next summer... Going to try to prepay and lock in that rate too! Thanks for sharing with us all!
