Went and saw the world works here show, I will upload that video tomorrow since it’s twelve minutes long and a two minute long video took forty five minutes to upload.

 

walking into dinner this dude and his wife are leaving angry saying everyone was going to get bad reviews and wouldn’t wait to speak to a supervisor? I guess it was because they waited fifteen minutes before they got seated? Like what? 

What exactly is wrong with people?

I have no idea I have eaten so much veal Marsala and not having to cook or pay for food? I dunno how I am going to be able to function after fourteen days away lol

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Watching Val and honestly not impressed she wasn’t that funny. 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Gonna watch Percy Crews 2 now

I thought for sure that your buddy would be a table mate at Teppanyaki? I love to peoplewatch sometimes and seems like I often see the same people multiple times during cruises.

Oh he's not paying extra for food or going where it's limited.  He's in the MDR ordering multiples of every course.

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

How in gods green earth do y’all drink yourself stupid and stay up all night the last night of the cruise? When we have to wake up at the ass crack of Dawn.

@WhaleTailFlCruiser I wish you an easy debark process and joys of a rather non-cruising sort as you return to your dog and your hard-working nurse. Please pass on to her my thanks for her service at this truly terrible time for our health care workers. I hope she cruises with you next time, for your benefit as well as her own. 

 

Your B2B has brought me much enjoyment (and yes, an eensy bit of jealousy) as the truth of my own 7 day experience on MG was, while wonderful and improving in memory, simply not long enough. Further, the ship is adding new shows and changing in other ways as it finds its rhythm.  Your reporting means that much more as I have the "where it happens" context to take in your observations. 

 

I will miss the veal marsala and orange soda virtual dinners and the observations of fellow cruisers with their quirky behaviors.  I hope the friends you have found here in this social media world help you overcome some of your shyness out there where the people are. Travel safe to the other coast and once again, many thanks to you sir.

Do you prefer Guy's Fries or Shaq's fries?

 

Good question! Personally, at this moment in time (perhaps because they're new to me) I'd say Shaq's! There seems to be a higher chance of getting fries past their prime at Guy's - though I've had many more opportunities to spin that wheel!

Must have been one of those "laid back" Carnival cruisers, lol

Thanks again for taking us along on your journey! I was fortunate enough to be there with you for the first leg of your B2B.  Looks like the seas and weather were much more cooperative for the second week 🙂 . Safe travels home!

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Just got home I stopped at Urgent Care and got Xrays of my foot since it is really black and blue and I have a fracture in there not a full break. So Thanks Lady for sending me home injured. 

 

Anywho, This cruise reminded me why I have missed and love cruising so much. 

 

MG is a real game changer for Carnival as will the entire class be as such. It will be hard for anyone to bounce back down to a Spirit/Fantasy or even conquest class after having Sailed on MG/Excel class.

oh no! I can't believe that the lady didn't stop or anything. That's awful. I hope your foot heals fast. 

 

Thank you for the great review.

I second Tom's vote for the Big Chicken fries. I like the flat cut and the seasoning and they were just GOOD. The cut gives them a lot of surface area to develop a great crisp and leave very little fluffy mealiness in side. Memorably good, like only get fries this good every ten years or so. And I don't remember the Guy's fries being good enough to say that after having them on 2 prior Carnival cruises (but not my most recent a few weeks ago).

So sorry about your injury. If only you knew a nurse who could help treat things like that for you. 🙂

 

I hope to test your theory about going backward to a smaller ship before the year is out.

She is at work until 7pm But she is coming over tonight with my dog in tow lol 

[SenatorsFan]

So sorry to hear about your foot. Will you have to stay off it for a while? How inconsiderate that "lady" was!

Thanks for taking us along with you. I enjoyed the last 2 weeks. 😀

Your "medical treatments" are your own business.

A nurse with benefits might be just what he needs to get his mind off his foot.  LOL.

Thanks Whaletail for taking us along on your B2B cruises.  I appreciate you taking the time to post about the ship and experiences.  It sounds like, all in all, you had a very good time and really like the ship.

They are my sentiments exactly.  My last Fantasy Class cruise was 11 years ago,  Spirit Class 10 years ago,  Dream Class, 8 years ago,  Freedom Class 6 years ago.  They are all in my rear view mirror.  I would only sail on the Vista Class again for the Havana area, but I feel that the Excel Class is truly a game changer for the line.   

I have 20 sailings on Carnival over 35 years, but have 5 bookings on Excel Class over the next 16 months.  I back up my opinion with my wallet.

The true question is who will be happier to see you, your dog or your GF? 😉
