Best bar staff at the Alchemy.

Regardless of the ship, the Alchemy bar staff are the best, enjoy your holiday and I am sure these ladies will be a great part of your holiday🍸🙂

“Reserving” chairs in the Tides area this morning at 7:30. There are 4 other people in our group who owe me big time. And no we are not your typical chair hogs who leave their stuff unattended for hours. We always have someone on site.

 

 We had Anytime Dining last night and it was okay at best. Service was disjointed but friendly. Portion sizes are noticeably shrinking. The size of the shrimp served for the appetizer would barely qualify as 100 count. The assistant waitress did go out of her to round up Gluten free Melting Cakes for us.

 

Here’s hoping for a nice Sea Day.

Liquid brunch Pig and Anchor style.

She is the best-loved spending time in the Alchemy bar with her great service

Wouldn’t it be more fun to “reserve” your chairs this way?

[itchintocruise]

Next up. Steak.

 

But first a pit stop at the Alchemy Bar for Happy Hour.

 

Cheers.

Sad News to report. We received this email from Carnival. We were hoping to take advantage of our newly acquired PLATINUM status and board early.

 

ARRIVAL APPOINTMENT CHANGE

CARNIVAL HORIZON

December 21, 2018

 

Dear Carnival Horizon Guests,
 

Debarkation from the previous cruise will run later than usual. Since this will impact boarding for your cruise, please delay your Arrival Appointment by one hour (e.g.,11:30 AM - 12:00 PM appointment will become 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM). 
 

Arriving before your revised time will result in longer wait times.

 

In preparation for final boarding and departure, all guests must be on board the ship no later than 60 minutes prior to the published sailing time.
 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We are looking forward to welcoming you aboard for a FUN and memorable cruise vacation.

Sincerely,

 

Denese Waiters
Sr. Director, Guest Services - Contact Centers

 

I disembarked the morning of the 23rd and it wasn't delayed.  Self assist were leaving at 645am and tag 1 (us) left at 730.  We were on the road north by 815am.  They sent this email to about 90% of the members of our "other website" group before we embarked also.

Oops. I meant to take a picture before I started eating...

 

Great food and extra nice service at Fahrenheit 555.

Merry Christmas. Your steak or what's left of it looks great! What was the charge to eat at this restaurant?

Any thoughts on the 'smart' elevators? Can you only use them if you have a certain IQ level? Not sure what they are.

Have you done the Hairy Chest Contest yet? My boyfriend hasn't shaved his chest since August in anticipation of entering the contest when we cruise next month.

Can't wait to hear more from you.
