Mine was posted the same day! Fastest OBC posting of any of the Carnival Corp. brands that I've sailed!

I look forward to your Fleet Location report everyday. The attached webcams bring me back to wonderful locations - Thank you!

Fabulous!

Your review is fabulous, as are you, ladies!

I sailed with a friend a couple years back that had meds that needed to be kept refrigerated - we went to the medical center and they were more than happy to keep it for her - meds are signed in and out and the medical staff was great!

I have never sailed with friendlier people than those from Galveston! Gentlemen hold the doors for ladies, nobody in a rush to be "first" and smiles all around! It may be a little bit of a hassle to get from Houston to Galveston but not enough to keep me away! I have another cruise from Galveston booked - see y'all Sept 2015!

343 days until my FIRST Royal Caribbean cruise!

That happened to me also, but when I searched cruises while logged in at the Carnival site a red "special offer" notation was listed on cruises where the casino rate was available. These prices are considerably less than past guest rates. Hope this helps.

Loved It! Stayed last December - great hotel, friendly staff. Beautiful pool area with fire pit - small bar and restaurant. Free trolley across the street will take you to a shopping area to pick up any last minute items (wine, soda, sundries or anything you may have forgotten). I would happily stay there again. Enjoy!

i suspect that she would be silent on the matter and offer no comment whatsoever.

bravo!

I've used luggage express 3 times, no problems at all. It's a great service.

I'm booked on the Westerdam 5 night coastal and found out today through e-docs we also have 5 smart casual nights.

glad you mentioned that...the banjo soloist is replacement for the duo performing classical music, who were a replacement for the original Adagio quartet.

 

Now I've opened a can of worms regarding musical entertainment!:eek:

 

Better the worms are in the can than in the apples !

Regarding the banjo soloist: Maritime laws allow only a banjo soloist, anything else would be cruel to other musicians. Don't even get me started on the accordions!

What if we don't use a metal pie pan, maybe smugle it inside of a fake banjo in our back pack:cool:

Once security looks in your banjo case and finds an apple pie, they'll be so relieved they won't even bother to check your accordion case for the real contraband!

Oh great! As if an apple pie thread wasn't bad enough - now we go off on a banjo tangent?:D

The dolphins at Anthony's Key are allowed to come and go as they wish. Several wild dolphins have joined the "pod". Females tend to stay in the area with their young, but the males go "out" freely and return at night. Dolphins are intelligent creatures, if there was any mistreatment they wouldn't come back! There are NO tanks - it's a natural lagoon.

I never thought my dream of swimming with dolphins would come true, I feel that most of the "swim with the dolphins" enterprises on a cruise itinerary were cruel and inhumane, then I discovered Anthony's Key in Roatan Honduras.

The caring staff here have an educational program thru the Roatan Institute for Marine Science - Roatan Bay Island's Marine Research & Educational Facility, which includes dolphin interaction. These dolphins are very well cared for with a healthy and stimulating environment.

If someday your cruise plans take you to Roatan , stop by Anthony's Key - it was one of the best things I've ever done for myself!

HamOp was spinning an extremely intricate lie for his Meet & Greet fib. :D. He's very serious about winning the $50 Beverage Card they give away for the best CC Meet & Greet. (Part of the "Fifty Bucks in Ale for the Best Tall Tale promo.**)

POA1 please add future cruises to your signature - you'll have a throng of fans following you around the world!

We (twin and I) took a one nighter from Seattle to Vancouver, it was a great option for us as we were to sail on another line from Vancouver to San Francisco two days later.

We checked in very quickly - no code orange in Lido buffet. Explored the ship (Rotterdam) and on to muster drill with perhaps 20 others.

A lovely dinner in the dining room for the two of us followed by a show and onto the casino. Had a great time in the casino until about midnight when it closed and off to bed.

All in all a great "taste" of the Holland America experience.

We're sailing on a 5 night repositioning cruise in September and cannot wait for a deeper immersion into what Holland America is all about!

Read the reviews for the "Home Port Advisory", some are quite funny! (Galveston and Miami)

My shareholder credit showed up on my "Booking Details" within just a few hours. I am looking forward to my first cruise with Holland America - its obvious to me they value their customers.

A huge vote for Anthony's Key Roatan! It was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. One word description - MAGICAL!

Tip: Pay a little extra for the dolphin snorkel, you can thank me later.

My three?

"Muster drill completed"

YAY!

Welcome back!

Lawndude,

You are hilarious.

That is all.
