Apparently not because that was the one drink I ordered with my free drink coupon at the MDR lunch and was told no. :(

[Captain Carnival]

Overall - YES....however we were diverted from HMC due to weather....BUT....able to call on Little Stirrup Cay in lieu thereof 2-days later. :D

Mostly yes however I must say that I was not impressed with the Hasbro game show (part 1 & 2).

[coffeyk]

[luv2gonow]

Leaving on 11/23 sailing. Why could you not dock in HMC? That is reason for this cruise! What did you do in Nassau and Freeport? Also, did you park at port? We are trying Park n Cruise for the first time. Thanks

How doe she look after all these years. We sailed her when she was new, and LOVED the vibrant colors.

post 6 says weather. Haven't been to HMC but I'd imagine it is tendered.

[Captain Carnival]

How was the food?

 

Having sailed on several Carnival Cruises I would have to say that the food was above average more often than not.

[Captain Carnival]

Any shows not to be missed?

 

How was the food?….buffet?…dining room? Better than average all the way around

Ship clean? VERY!

 

Embarkation? Debarkation…Organized? Smooth as silk!

 

No guys burger right? Correct

We missed HMC due to rough seas....HOWEVER....2-days later we were able to go to an alternate port of call - Little Stirrup Cay!!

We parked at the Radisson as part of their package.

We will be sailing her in Dec. Do they have the new Brunch on the sea day? I posted earlier & no one has answered.

Carnival.com says "yes"!

 

Carnival.com -> Explore -> Dining -> Sea Day Brunch -> Ecstacy IS listed.

How was Little Stirrup Cay (aka CocoCay) as an alternate private-island stop?

 

I think this is the first time I've heard of Carnival using LSC as a "makeup" port for a scheduled, but missed, port.

Kudos to Carnival for being able to work it out on short notice with RCCL.

Why didn't you take me:D

I've been to both HMC and LSC now and overall find both comparable per se however in the end I'm leaning towards "preferring" LSC as it is a bit more intimate in size resulting in a more convenient experience.

 

Additionally I really liked the snorkeling experience on LSC that includes a submerged ship with cannon and two small planes that attract a great array of very colorful fish.

[SkyMaster]

I agree 100% that the shows are good, considering that they're the "Playlist Production" shows. These are the best of those that I've seen.

I also agree that the "Hasbro" thingy sucks.

I also concur that "Park-n-Cruise" is a great alternative to the over priced parking at the port. Great service, and about 1/2 the price of parking at the port.

I was on this sailing as well. First cruise and loved every minute! Good was great, clean ship, and LSC was beautiful! We got to the port at 1:30 and was able to go straight to our cabin! Already planning our next one. Would like to go right before hurricane season.

Sorry...I guess I forgot to ask! :D
