LambKnuckles Posted November 21, 2010 #28 Share Posted November 21, 2010 $3.09 was for Premium gas, we don't have to pay that much It just jumped out at me... I paid 2.48 for regular on Friday... But I understand regional differences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2knight Posted November 21, 2010 #29 Share Posted November 21, 2010 BLESS YOU!!! I can hardly wait!!! My MAGIC cruise is a year off... but, hey, I've two other cruises in betweeen... it's not THAT long!!!! Waiting patiently, hands folded properly in my lap... Here ya go... only got one good photo of the interior The inside was no different from any other balcony from what I could see. The balcony itself was normal except the lower portion that is normally glass is steel. Still plenty of view, just felt more cozy.. definitely more private. if you have any questions I will try to answer I would defiantly do the cove balcony again! I also found this link with tons of cove balcony pics from the dreams transatlantic cruise http://www.zydecocruiser.com/CarnivalDream/coveDummies.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #33 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Don't stop now! Loved our Dream cruise in October so much we may do the Dream again next year. We love deck 11 one deck up from lido. Great view of the sea for me and the big screen for hubbie. Hi Pop!! I'm not stoppin' I promise, I'm just a bit scattered about here:rolleyes: You know...this was my second time on Dream, and I LOVE this ship...my favorite ship is Fantasy and I didn't expect to love the Dream, but I DO!!! The "stuff" that folks complain about...just isn't there for me, or there SO slightly that it's not even a conscious issue...I just don't get it:confused: THIS time I did take some pics to illustrate what I mean, I'm getting there!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #34 Share Posted November 21, 2010 OK so....Mama Floatie was buzzing around the cabin doing her Mama thing and organizing everything cause that what she does:) In no time our luggage was there, we unpacked, had muster (a total non event these days:cool:) and I was headed back up to Lido aft for sailaway WOOOHOO!!! I love love love that pulling away view, and my "real life" is left behind in the wake.... PC is a fun port to watch the "procession" of giants making their way out to sea... The baileys and coffee did the trick and I wasn't cold anymore so it was time to get serious about sailaway..... And then one of my favorite spots on the ship gave up a gorgeous first sunset at sea Ahhhhhhhhhh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma58 Posted November 21, 2010 #36 Share Posted November 21, 2010 WooHoo a Floatie review:DHaving more coffee right now,wish there was some Baileys in it:p It was beautiful.

floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #37 Share Posted November 21, 2010 After sailaway fun, it was time to go and get ready for our first dinner WOOHOO!!! I LOVE love love late seating, best Platinum perk is guaranteed choice of dining times imo:D...no rushing and time for afternoon napping, works for me!! When we got back to the cabin, here was the sweetest Bon Voyage present I've ever gotten:) Now I am looking at my pics for tonight and they are blank:p...I know I went running around, to the PB to say hi to Tom the piano man, to the Welcome Aboard show for a bit, it was packed out, and then it was relatively early-to-bed. For me the first two days include some recharge time so it's a crap shoot how much we do, cause I'm on a cruise and I can decide how much or not!!:D Up next for us was Nassau bright and early!!

firefly333 Posted November 21, 2010 #38 Share Posted November 21, 2010 so it was time to get serious about sailaway..... Ahh that's the Floatie I have heard about .. mimosa. I keep hearing you make them the best .. wish I could have tried one when you were in Dallas, as Im still curious if yours are better than on the ship. I guess thats what I get being only half a Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #44 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I am enjoying your review. Thank you for reading!!:) I had to make a quick run for Target, if anyone is looking for netbooks, RUN to Tarjay, they have a decent one for $189 now through Wednesday and I bought one for Mama for Christmas WOOOOHOOO!!!! I'm gonna teach her internet shopping, in self defense:eek::rolleyes::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #45 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If I haven't been at the pizza counter at 4AM, I'm up with the birds when I cruise, like Nassau morning...especially the first morning waking up at sea...:) We were scheduled to arrive at 7AM and at 5:45 I was up and out on the balcony, followed in short order by Jude and Dano...it was breathtaking as always to watch the light creep into the sky and the island appearing on the horizon.... Loved the skyline additions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #46 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Something that caught our attention pulling into Nassau was a sudden burst of smoke from the direction of the ships...I didn't catch the biggest effect but this gives you the idea... Dano and I were both intent for a minute to see what this was because it didn't look normal at all, and turned out to just an extra large dispersal of smoke....it turned way more eerie soon after when a few hours later into the morning we had the first word of what was happening on Splendor:(...we were online more this week than ever before to keep up with the news...

floatingaway2525 Posted November 21, 2010 Author #50 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Here is the Crazie Agenda for Nassau Day... In Port - 7am to 2pm Lido Aft for Sailaway Paid Cocktail Party - 3:30-4:30 Dinner at all seating times as chosen Toga party after dinner starting in the PB It was definitely a pace your way day:eek::p In Nassau, we thought about going back to Fish Fry, it rocks if you haven't been, but laziness getting off the ship and the early departure dictated a more leisurely wander off the ship and walk around the port area...and shopping for Mama...she was most pleased with the jelelry sets for $5 and stocked up happily:) I found these which I haven't seen before, carved from real shells (even the spoons!!) and hand made in the Bahamas, 2 for $15. I do love finding stuff made where I am and these are great little servers for condiments that make me smile every time I use them... Some of the bottoms aren't as pretty as the insides so make sure you check when you pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
