artmanr Posted November 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi Everyone. I just got back from our 3rd Carnival Cruise in 3 years. Also have sailed Disney and Norwegian. All of our cruises were with 2 adults and 2 small (now not so small) boys. I thought it might be interesting to start a thread about Rants, Raves, Tips, Tricks and Observations..... There is only one rule. You have to keep it to 30 words or less. Are you interested? This has potential to be a fun, informative thread. Let's go!! Rants, Raves, Tips, Tricks and Observations. 30 words or less. No double posts on the same topic (darn...two rules). I will start. :) Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsuelaw Posted November 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Observation: I don't know why but I love side thrusters (no that is not some perverted term that you need to look up on Urban Dictionary). They fascinate me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmanr Posted November 13, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The Steakhouse is very fine dining indeed. The service is great, food is better. Ambiance is romantic. I live in Chicago and there are few restaurants that can measure up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsuelaw Posted November 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Kids in diapers while smoking bother me in the adult only hot tubs. LOL!!! Kids in diapers were smoking in the adult hot tub? Now I see why CCL gets its "trashy" reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinedan Posted November 13, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The only way I will pay for a Behind-the-Scenes tour is if I can shoot video and take pictures! I want to see the engine room too, damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmanr Posted November 13, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I sleep so much better on a cruise ship. Is it the bed, the rocking of the ocean or being less stressed. Whatever it is, it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaGrl4Evr Posted November 13, 2012 #21 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Take the lid from the room service plates; turn it upside down to make a bowl. Pick up and extra piece of fruit or 2 from the Lido and make a fruit bowl for your cabin. :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmanr Posted November 13, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I understand the desire to smuggle booze on board. But why bother? Bon Voyage bottles are very reasonable and waiting when you get there. No worries, just fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
