Best pizza at sea or on land!

ABC...hands down

Just off the Navigator. The thing that resembles a fridge is not. If you need your medicine refrigerated, you can ask when you book, or you can ask your room Stewart.

I definitely would miss the twice a day service. To me it is part of what makes a cruise different from other vacations. I see many are okay with it and that is fine. Perhaps we could be given a choice at the time we book a cruise. Kinda like dining time preference or bed together or separate.

My Time Dining is anything but. It's a joke

A lot of over thinking going on here. Don't sweat the little stuff. You will be fine.

I used to enjoyed tilapia until I learned how they raise it. It usually comes from Viet Nam or some other south east Asian country. There is little over site. The fish are fed chicken droppings. That was enough for me to swear off of tilapia for good. Tilapia is usually the most inexpensive fish at the market. It reproduces at much younger age than most fish and grows quickly. Thus the lower price. Sole is not farmed and is wild caught. It is delicious when it is pan seared and served picatta style.

Farm raised is even worse. Wild caught is a much cleaner fish.

A long time ago there used to be an international hostess, on board, who could assist people in several languages. Also the compass was available is 5 languages.

Yeah, maybe they had a THC deficiency.

An independent company decorates the ship, not the crew. At least that is the way it used to be.

You could not pay me to get on a Carnival ship. Thanks but no thanks.

Humble brag

Wow, five times in a row? That is bad luck. Maybe the sixth time will be a charm. .

MTD on Royal is a mess. They do not do this well. Early dining reservations will not be available. You can try to make reservations on the app but only late times will be available. You can just show up but you will wait. Be prepared for dirty looks. My time dining is anything but.

We had a Popeye's crispy sammich and it was divine.

Do you tip when you get the sandwich? How much? Aren't those people in the tipping pool? (That should get the controversy going!)

You can buy a tuxedo at reasonable prices at Men's Wearhouse. $200 will get a nice one. Which probably the price of 2 rentals.

Carnival needs to limit the consumption of booze. The behavior on their ships is appalling. I didn't feel safe on my last (read final) Carnival Cruise. And I grew up on the streets of New York. Their low prices attract a certain demographic. Especially on shorter cruises.

We got two special pillow cases and some other stuff when we got married on the Oasis. They are on the bed right now

I agree with the Carnival policy. Many times I have searched for a lounger only to find a sea of empty towel covered chairs. Not everyone is in the pool or at the buffet. A half hour is a reasonable amount of time. Remove their stuff and make them retrieve it so they don't have to pay for the towel.. and don't tell to get there at the Crack of dawn to reserve a seat. I don't get up at dawn when I am on vacation.

The Oasis is our favorite because we were married on board.

Aruba. Gouda cheese. Yummy

Beyond the daily gratuity, do whatever you are moved to do. Do not base your actions on the opinion of others. It is your money. You earned it. Do whatever you want with it.

Please excuse my ignorance but anything that would stick to a magnet would be made of iron. Wouldn't it be too rusty after being in salt water for a period of time? I do see that you would be likely to bring up anything of value. But I am willing to be wrong.
