WeBeCruisin'

I couldn't be more proud of you right now.

Biddy!

I think the title Old Man and Sea is taken. :D

Why, you little whippersnapper! I think Laurie's Elder Abusive proclivities are rubbing off on you. :eek::eek::eek:

Another amazing review, Jim! By the time you do the one from our Conquest/New Orleans trip in January, you might have enough to gather together for a book. I'm sure it would be a best-seller among cruisers. :cool:

I've done the Fantasy twice since it came to Charleston. I lived there for two years and love to go back..... it's just a great place to visit and is only about 3-1/2 hours from Charlotte.

The Fantasy is 70,000 tons, compared to 130,000 for the Magic and Dream. It's a great ship, though with a convenient layout and outstanding service. I prefer the itinerary which includes Key West, but even though people knock Nassau, I've always found something interesting to do there.

It will be nice if some of the South of Broad crowd in Charleston can take off their blinders and allow the facilities to accommodate more ships and maybe some other cruise lines. :cool:

When I saw Dee biting Jimmy's "tassles", I should have known that she wouldn't stop there. Later, while we were playing blackjack, she was sitting next to me and suddenly leaned over and bit my nipple. I was shocked, appalled, humiliated, embarrassed..... and thrilled! :)

Conclusion #5,792: Jim writes the bestest most coolest reviews evah!!! :cool:

VD at Sea = Venereal Disease at Sea...? Teehee! :D

Precisely. Our group logo featured a nurse with a huge penicillin syringe. The fact that we sailed on Valentine's Day (VD, too) was purely coincidental. :)

My job is done :)

Sara, considering how a brand-spanky... I mean brand-spanking new Randy has emerged, if he or his wife offer you Koolaid, please FTLOG don't drink any of it. :eek:

Look out Allen, pigs might be flying!!

You're scaring me, Sara!

I'm tame now..I quit smoking and I rarely drink.,,,just an ol happy married man :)

OMG!!! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! :eek::eek::eek: Next he'll be saying he doesn't play Blackjack any more. Is nothing sacred????

I just found out that Carnival offers standup paddle boarding in Nassau!!! :D I think we will do it there instead of Key West. Id rather bar hop in Key West :p

I would probably fall off the board and bleed and you would laugh at me. :rolleyes:

Valentine's Day at Sea.

But out t-shirts did feature a Nurse Wretched giving us syringes full of shots..... jello shots. :)

Jim hasn't given up on us. He will definitely be back soon to finish the review and pictures. He really is "gifted" in the way he can review a cruise with such attention to detail, amazing pictures, and humor. He's been extremely involved with "real world" stuff lately, including being the group leader for a cruise on the Carnival Conquest out of New Orleans on January 20. You guys should join us. :)

I'm ready I'm ready!!! Having withdrawls!!

Me, too! I have been on a cruise ship in 7 days.:eek:

No wonder he spent the next two days in his cabin! :p:D

what happens in the Crip's cabin STAYS in the Crip's cabin. :cool:

Shelly...we saw her and brought her back for Allen...:D

She was yummy! :)

I'm one of those that never found the piano bar. Crazy who you calling crazy?:p

I never made it there, either. Part of the problem is that whereas most of the piano bars are nearly across from the disco, on this class of ship they are up a deck and at the other end. You almost have to know it's there.

Great Review!! You people know how to have a good time.

 

Questions for the golf cart renters in Grand Turk. Was it worth the

money to do this tour on your own? Did you feel safe while driving

the cart? How long are how far did you go?

 

 

Thanks for any info

On one of our trips a group of six rented golf carts to go around Key West and got a parking ticket! I'll be sailing with some of them next week and I'm going to try to look out for them. :)

The Washroom facilities were located at the end of the Beach closest to the Tender Pier and up a set of rather steep stairs. I know I was up there twice and on both occasions, both going up and coming down the stairs, I could hear some elderly people or those with decreased mobility complaining about the location of the Facilities. 'What can you do about the fact it’s on top of the Hill/" I thought to myself …Had they not heard the expression about that stuff “rolling downhill”?

 

.

At least those "elderly people" you're abusing were able to make it off the ship. Some of us had suffered such dire injuries that all we could was sit in a wheelchair at the railing of the ship and longingly watch the people cavorting and romping on the beach while all I could do was softly whimper and sob. :eek:

My introduction to Suck and Blows was on my first trip as a single and also my first Carnival cruise about 6 years ago and my S & B partner was Shelly. I had never heard of Suck and Blows, due to my having led a protected, nay holy, life. I'm not sure if Shelly had, either, because we didn't know the rules and we were both blowing for a long time and then we apparently switched at the same time and were both sucking.... at some point, we were desperately switching back and forth while everyone mocked us and finally succeeded. I had no idea that you were supposed to choose "roles" as either a sucker or the suckee or a blower or the blowee. :confused:

They just wanted to talk...just say "Hi":D

Good one! :)

 

There was Security???.I only saw Security once;), maybe twice:rolleyes: on the Cruise...and that was in the Casino, if I recall correctly:D

Was that when they came into the casino to arrest you? :eek:

That accountant sounds like a smart guy. :D:p

He's very smart and a great guy. His lovely wife is sort of mean to old people, though. :rolleyes:

Didn't think your 'verklempt' worked anymore;):D

 

 

 

Remember...Your hankie was wrapped around your toes

My "verklempt" works just fine, thank you, as long as I have peanut butter, a monkey wrench, lots of dental floss and a big container of glitter.

I had forgotten about wrapping the pink lace-trimmed hankie around my toes.... if they're going to be broken at least they can be stylish.

:)

I'm getting a little teary myself as I relive my cruise wedding. Good thing there were pictures, the details are a little fuzzy.

 

Allen, you made a great father-of-the-bride, and thanks to my MOH, Donna.

 

There was a rumor that a video was shot, but I have yet to see it.

I haven't seen the video either. But I was told it's called "The Consummation".
