Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2021 Author #1126 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I've got to say that I'm happy that I was able to purchase Cheers with onboard credit... I definitely haven't been getting my money's worth these past couple of days. I haven't had anything alcoholic on the ship today at all. I'm stuffed and tired, and I'm halfway between going out and having a couple, or just crashing here in my food coma. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 2, 2021 Author #1129 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I bet that if there are some new readers this week, they're saying "what in the heck kind of cruise review is this?"... It's just the version of events that have ensued, for better or for worse. I have to say that I feel very different this week than on past cruises. I waited sooo long for this, but I think that the excitement is gone for me now. It's hard to explain, but there's just something off. Nothing to do with Carnival, or the ship, or the service, it's all been spectacular. It's me... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on Panorama twice since Oct.30th and for me it is still fun but the mask and unmasking and masking again interrupts the usual flow of my typical cruise experience and my overall enjoyment factor. Perhaps to some extent this is true of you as well. Have you considered this aspect, Sid? Edited December 2, 2021 by sanmarcosman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any idea how he did any of those tricks, but it was amazing. He asked if anyone had some cash on them. Of course, I have a pocket full. I wrote my initials on a twenty dollar bill. He did a few things, and next thing it was a one dollar bill. A few seconds later, it was a twenty again... with inflation it shoulda been a hundred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry one in my pocket, but it's probably only been put on a total of ten times for a very short duration. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if my expectations were set too high or cruising is not back to normal. I feel it's the later. I was disappointed but don't know why. Hoping our next cruise in January is better. We are taking a break after that until normalcy returns. It's a shame, everyone is trying so hard. Both crew and passengers. Wish I could put this into words better, but it eludes me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not read about or seen on YouTube the breakfast burger at Guy's that was mentioned pre-launch. Yeah I’d call that your ocean plaza buffet just moved to P&A since there is no ocean plaza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
