firefly333 Posted June 16, 2010 #551 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hmmm... a clue? {not much of one} from John Who's blog "I have never figured this out. We provide the same service, the same fun, the same high quality food and yet there are some………ummmm……..grumpy people on board. Now obviously we have to do something about this especially as it looks like I may be the Cruise Director on your Carnival Magic’s trans-Atlantic voyage and I want to get it right. We do our best to provide extra activities for those 5 back to back days at sea and yet personally and quite honestly, I dread them because I know that regardless of what we do…………..some guests won’t be happy." so far the schedules posted have 6 sea days... Its been posted, maybe on the sticky thread, that now I dont know where it was, that a PVP told the person who booked the TA that there might be a port change ... Im guessing a additional port too. So, good nab there, as it squares with my thinking. John probably doesnt realize what he gave away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeCruisin' Posted June 16, 2010 #552 Share Posted June 16, 2010 THAT reminded me of our Moose encounter. We were at the park by the Anchorage airport and there was a Moose with big ole antlers standing by the fence at the top of the hill. So we parked to watch him.... he turned and looked at us and started walking down the hill towards us....then he started trotting down the hill towards us...then he started RUNNING down the hill towards us. We were in a rental car (Toyota Highlander) and I started yelling for hubby to start the car. That silly moose ran right up to the front of the vehicle....stopped and just walked off to the right into the woods. If I could have read that moose's mind...he would have been saying "bet I scared them". He would have been right. :) My mom was washing dishes in the summer with the window open and a moose came up and stuck its head in the window above the sink. They are 7-feet high at the shoulder. Very big Bambis. One Christmas day, I was on my way to my parents' house with my wife and 6-month-old son and stopped because a moose was in the road in front of me. I got rear-ended by a drunk who "didn't see" me and it took over six months to get my car fixed and back and they didn't have loaners. Fortunately, Fairbanks was small enough to where you could walk almost anywhere, but still...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never experienced anything like that. We stayed at the Springhill Suites right there in town and ate at Soapy Smith's ..... good food but odd people working there....

tallyho8 Posted June 17, 2010 #575 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ecstasy will not going into drydock as it was just in drdock in September 2009. OK, you helped us solve that part of the puzzle. Since Ecstasy sails on September 3, 2011 and then not again until September 22, 2011, and does not go into dry dock as you state, this means that the Ecstasy will be making a 19 day cruise on 9-3-11. Now, who wants to speculate as to where it will go for these 19 days? Because wherever it ends at will be it's home port until April 30, 2012 where it will make 4 and 5 day cruises.
