Loved your Freedom review, can't wait for this one!! Hope you had a great cruise.

HI Jeff,

Thanks for doing the review! Always love reading yours, so full of detail. Hope the restaurant worked out better for you shortly!! I have a long wait until my next booked cruise, so hopefully this will hold me over a bit. I love the western itinerary and can't ever get enough of Cozumel!!

Cheeeeeeeriooooooo!!! Went on this same cruise at the end of April! Was a great time! Thanks for doing the review...reliving mine all over again!

Your pictures are gorgeous!!! Such an awesome review, glad you enjoyed and sorry you got sick. Alaska is on my to do list for sure! I totally understand about the snow being from Ontario, but to see it in such beauty and not on the side of the road is amazing!

Loving your review and pictures!! Thanks for taking the time!

Glad you had a great cruise! I am cruising on Conquest next year

Following! Doing the same itinerary next year on Conquest

All of the rooms have been refurbished on Victory

Following! Thanks for the review

Love the Glory! Sailed on her a few years back and was an awesome ship and time! Looking forward to your review and pics!! Get to go back to Half Moon Cay next year and cannot wait!

Great review! We are sailing on the Conquest next year so was nice to have a first look at her. You take wonderful photo's and loved all your underwater ones. We did a snorkelling trip in Belize a couple of years ago and half way through, my underwater camera decided to die. I was devestated...saw the most beautiful sites ever and couldn't capture. But still have them all clear as day in my head at least!

Next adventure, come up to your neighbours north of the border, we'll welcome you anytime!!

Excellent review so far!

Yes it will be grab a Margarita and a souvenir!! Thanks all for the input

Ok thanks! I think going there and having a drink will be good enough!

Is there a Margaritaville in Key West? We will be in Key West on a tuesday until 1pm and my friend really wants to go to the "original" Margaritaville.

TIA

Great review so far!

Great review!! Getting me soooo excited to go on. Sorry about what happened on the ship. Glad you had a great time. I always take advantage of the ship photographers for my son and I. He is 15 and barely ever get him in the same pic anymore!

As former crew (though not on Carnival) I will only say that I have read his books and many of his stories are absolutely what it was like when I was onboard in the 90s myself. And we DID drink till 5 am and sometimes never want to bed and still pulled each other thru the next day. We had toga parties, took over what uses to be movie theaters onboard and reenacted the Rocky Horror Picture Show, had insane parties, waited until way into the night if we docked early at a fave port and stood to jump off the gangway and run to our hang out bar in town that would stay open only for us....this was the 90s and much different. We would also drink all afternoon in port and go back on and work all evening half wasted. No rules back then accept you are fired if you can't perform. My supervisor often drank with me each night. Times have changed but none of what he wrote is so far fetched. And BTW...contrary to popular belief...and ask on your next cruise....not many Americans are hired on these lines. There are often a handfull but not many. And only in certain capacities.

I totally agree with you. I worked on a ship in the late 90's going into 2000 and we had our own bar with "crew" prices. The parties were great. I was in the entertainment area so my schedule wasn't as hectic as the "crew". It was an amazing experience though and i'm glad i did it....my liver, well not so much!

Can't wait to meet Nicola at the Alchemy Bar! I have my recipe from last time and am hoping he can mimic it!!

Again, great review!

Thanks for the review...less than a month and we board! I wonder if it'll be the same piano player when we get on...the alchemy bar and piano bar are my frequent places! Did you ever hear the house band play?

Great to hear!! Sailing out April 24th!

Hey, I noticed that your CD was wearing a Blue Jays hat! Does he happen to be Canadian? We're huge Blue Jays fans since living just outside of TO. Again, wonderful review and can't wait to see the rest!

Very excited to read your review. Will be a nice countdown to my cruise in April. Never been on the Pride, but she looks like a nice ship!

Such a great review as always! Loving the comparison between the ships. You have convinced me to book a cove balcony on the breeze for our future cruise!

Any tips for when my 15 year old son and I come to Ottawa for a few days this summer!?!
