No, the name of the ship is not mentioned on the Daily.

 

Turns out the APP was correct in this case as the band in Rolling Stone was there tonight and did another good sht get too exited about the dueling pianos though. Just my opinion.

I thought the RS rock band was really good on this ship (two weeks ago) as well as on Neuiw Amsterdam in Jan. and on a TA on Rotterdam back in Oct. They really do  great job of a acquiring talent for these venues.

Thanks!, Very helpful and informative.

Yes, Eurodam has what is now called The Rolling Stone Lounge in the venue that used to be called BB Kings/Queens Lounge.

 

@ottahand7 just recently debarked from Eurodam and posted a "Live From" thread.  The Dailys were posted showing the times and themes for the entertainment.  See post #52 for the Daily.

 

 

Have a great time on Eurodam if you decide to go.

Hi. We are thinking of booking a cruise on the Eurodam and were wondering if they have BB Kings or the Rolling Stone Rock Lounge. My wife and I really liked the RS lounge on Nuiew Amsterdam, Rotterdam and on New Statendam. BB Kings is okay, but we prefer RS

I had a wonderful transatlantic cruise in October on the Rotterdam; I was especially impressed with the quality and variety of the Lido food - several carving stations, Salmon and other fish every night, fillet mignon several nights, wide variety of desserts, etc. Last week I just got off the Neiuw Amsterdam. The food was good, but not even close in variety or quality. The service was also not as great as on the Rotterdam. 

Was the difference in the fact that the Rotterdam was a transatlantic cruise, or because Rotterdam is a pinnacle class ship, or was it due to the fact that the Neiuw Amsterdam was just realeased (two days late) from dry-dock, or was it some other factor?  

I know that The Enchantment of the Seas is an older ship, but does it have Texas Holdem poker?

We took a time after Noon when we had FTTF a couple of weeks ago.  That way others can get the early check in time if they don't have FTTF.  No reason to select early if you have FTTF.  We arrived at 10:30 AM and we were onboard at 12:15 PM.  

With that said, things might have changed since then so probably best to select the earliest time available?

To be safe, I would pick the earliest time. Of course, it depends upon the port.

Wonder if this is a case of booking the flight before figuring out the logistics...

Yea, I am afraid that you are right. I should have researched more. I thought Melbourne was a lot closer to the port. 

I am sorry, I meant Fort Canaveral. sorry

Hi, does anyone know the fastest way to get six people from Port Lauderdale to the airport at Melbourne. Will be arriving from the MSC Seaview at app. 7:00-8:00. Our flight is at 9:45.

Have you tried your time dining?  Same MDR food and in my opinion faster service. 

A nice aspect of ATD is that you can avoid the song/dance routines by the waiters. There were times when we waited 30-40 min. for dessert due to that.

I don't understand why the P&D priority embarkation has not restarted. They stopped mask mandates, opened the casino for smoking, and stopped bubble tours. What is the hold up for priority boarding?

It is my opinion that they will bring back FTTF before Diamonds, etc. They do not have the profit incentive to do otherwise. With new varients, etc, you may never see priority boarding for Plats & Diamonds (except for priority check-in) again

Was there on the Magic last week They have a free trolley that makes 6 stops - 4 of which are beaches. Beautiful water and sand.

These things happen.  Sorry about that.

That's okay - it is the best that I have ever seen La Romano look!

Still sitting at the dock. Maybe some late arrivals. Doesn't seem like many people on the ship at all. We'll see over time if it changes.

 

Masks required in all the ports indoors or on transportation including tours. In La Romana and Amber Cove masks also required outdoors unless eating, drinking, or in the water.

Another good reason to not book a cruise in the DR.LOL

On our last Carnival cruise, pre Covid, we used the HUB app and thought it was great. Many benefits. Not sure why one would not want to use it. 

In the future would bet the farm that all cruise lines will be using similar technology. May not be mandatory but sure makes life easier. 

A reason someone (like me) would not want to use it is that all I have is a flip phone - pay-as-you-go. I do not want to spend hundreds on a phone that I do not need and would not know how to use. 

I will stay on the ship that day. Been there 6 times

FTTF will be offered on Mardi Gras.

I hope that you are right, but cruise lines have been accepting money for cruises that they know will not sail - why not the same with FTTF.

I seriously dobt that FTTF or priority boadrding will be offered to anyone due to the virus. This bums me because I am a plat, and I reallt enjoy being one of the early ones on the ship.

But I have been able to book a cruise in January, 2021, so that this means I am going after all? I thinks there will be a lot of changes!

Will there even be FTTF Plats, Diamonds (I hope so, I am Diamond) after the new boarding health protocols? I really doubt it, but I hope I am wrong.

This is just speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised to see Carnival cancel the refurbishment. They are obviously short on cash, the conversions are not popular with many people, and the whole redo idea is to crowd as many people as possible into ever shrinking spaces - exactly the opposite of CDC guidelines.  I just do not see it as a viable action. 

If you enjoy standing in lines and being packed into smaller spaces - then the Horizen is for you. I would, however, prefer the Breeze. or any other Dream class (or Spirit or even Conquest class) over the Vista or Horizen.

That's easy. Close every other elevator and don't allow more than one elevator per floor at a time. 😂

Or make the elevators only available for people with bonafide handicap parking registration.

I know a lot of you will disagree, but I would like them to get rid of the new cakes for lunch. The icing is like Crisco or lard and they are devoid of flavor. Maybe keep two or three cake choices, but on my last Journeys cruise (14 day) that was virtually all they had for dessert. I really missed Key Lime pie, and other old items. 

I think the way Holland does the buffet was great. They served you your food, made you a salad, brought drinks to your table, etc.

I would think that the Fantasy class ships would have a great amount of appeal to those (such as myself) who want to avoid crowded huge ships or ships that have been refitted to cram in moe people. Even before the COVID-19 issue, I was through with ships such as Sunshine and Vista.
