Are there any links to the new drinks from the fortune teller bar? Looking for the third eye recipe

We did one on Mardi Gras last week.

What wait ??? A brand new ship with all the latest tech and they are still using pen and paper to take food and drinks orders ? Even the smallest mum and pop shop usually have the Square POS systems now with tablets for the waiters. Sad.

You guys are being pretty harsh.   You can only test systems so much before go live.  One thing I've learned in 22+ years of IT implementation, you are going to have problems with new places that first week/month.  Nothing is perfect.  (and to relate the size of the IT area I work for, we project 1 billion in revenue next fiscal year).  $h!t happens.

All i know is we are on the boat on August 14th, we'll tip slow service staff and be pleasant.  They have struggled much harder than most of us over the last 12-16 months.

3 days for me. I made it easy, highlighted requested info, redacted other data, made email subject line “Mardi Gras Shareholder Aug 14,2021”

my first submission!  

Is YouTube blocked with Premium wifi?

Asking because we'll be on the Aug14th cruise and I thought about taking requests to film shot youtube videos while on board of specific questions/views.   If I can't upload from the ship, I know my lazy butt isn't going to upload them when I get home!

We cruise on the 14th of August, I thought about doing this.  But when i looked at the shore excursions on the webpage, some of the better ones had already sold out.   Gotta weigh the risk/reward for waiting I assume.

And if you can not decide which one tickles your fancy, you can order from 11) Room Service.

Room Service coffee on your balcony is required for us!

If your tube is long enough you can set your machine on the floor beside you.  You can find longer tubes easily enough. Extension cords are better way to go to plug in vs USB ports, IMO.  Not sure if CPAP power is adaptable to USB ports anyway.  

 

Lots of fretting and worryworting over relatively minor inconveniences that can be easily remedied.

No, you cannot use the USB port and an adapter for a cpap.    You are correct on it can easily be remedied, but a little planning makes it practically not an inconvenience.  

I'm going to roll the dice and get a cable from the cabin steward, one less thing to pack!

It might be a slight inconvenience, but i'm not too concerned.   You are correct about the ottoman.  That might be the best choice.  Flip the top over for the table at night, then place the cpap inside the ottomon and flip the top back to a bench during the day.

Yeah.  I might have to up my budget from $2000 casino spending to $4000 casino spending for this one.  ha ha  I want those casino deals so I don't have to spend $6000 for a balcony.

Ill be on that cruise as well, hopefully learning to throw dice!

BrotherCraig, i just got an offer for a balcony room for $300pp!   I rarely drop over $500 at casino!

Asked on the John Heald FB page since there are so many videos showing the little light and USB beside the bed.   Jacinta replied that you need a longer extension cord or the cabin steward can assist you with one.    We'll be onboard in two weeks, if I remember, I'll update the thread.

can you purchase Premium wifi by the day when you are onboard?

Smaller buffet = less cost for CCL.  Lots of food options, can’t wait for our cruise in September…..2022!

I noticed on the Mardi Gras Excel Suites you get complimentary movies.   Normally how much are movie rentals?

They also state complimentary room service.  I assume this means all items are free, excluding alcohol.   Anyone have any knowledge?

(i haven't had luck searching this on the forum)

I doubt the mardi gras will have much rocking motion.

Doesn't the havana balconies have a public area in front of them on Mardi Gras?  Kind of like you have patio, but people can walk in front of it.  Maybe I looked at the map wrong.

It’s $35 if you pre order on Atlantis site.  Is that the same as the walk up price?

Haven’t seen that in a few years. It was sweet though.

Topic says it all.  Suggestions?

Hey all, every cruise I tell myself that i'm going to learn more about playing craps.   I've been watching videos and playing some free online craps games.   What are your tips on what NOT to do at the craps table if you are new?

Is it poor form to bet against the shooter?   I've heard conflicting opinions.

Any tips you can lend are appreciated!!

Agreed on the long cruise and wanting a balcony

Depending on those kids age, you’ll have to have an adult in each room anyways.

They have never opened my vit water or coconut water....this will be my 5th cruise in 4 years

or if you're a newbie that does not mind being on older, smaller ships with less amenities.

There are a ton of non-newbies that like the smaller older ships too.
