Greg, I will be getting on the Dream the same time your boarding the vista.  Love your reviews.  Will have to read all about your cruise when I get back.

 

Thanks! Have a great cruise. I think that's an 8-day eastern if I'm not mistaken. I remember seeing some good deals on that one months after I had already booked Vista.

[dallasdan]

Yes, 3 stops in the Bahamas.  Did have Key West but that was cancelled.  One day our paths will cross and I will meet the famous Saint Greg.  have a great cruise.  By the way I don't like agendas on vacation either.

This is going to be my 16th cruise--all on Carnival. This will be my 4th time out of Galveston, my 2nd time on Vista, 12th time to Cozumel, and my 4th time to Belize and Roatan. This will be my 3rd time on a December Christmas themed cruise. I believe the CD is Kyndall Fire. This will be my first time with her as CD.  
 

 

willing, ready and able!  don't leave without me,  i'm going to get my drink!

Think I also want to stop at this place in Cozumel.

 

 

And try one of these.

 

 

Oh my... 😍 Do they let you keep the plate?? 😁

Be sure to check the expiration dates on your Binax COVID tests.  They expire after 3 months.

I can't wait to read this review. We are sailing on the Vista in Jan. I know this will be as enjoyable as all your other reviews. Safe travels and have fun!!

Strong chance I can see my house here 🙂.

 Here are some oldies of the Vista when we were invited by for a tour.

 Like others, I am watching and learning. We have been to Nachi Cocom at least a dozen times in a row and are looking for something else to do in Cozumel on trips other than summer.

I don’t know. I just saw that when we were having a beer there in May and said I need to stop there next time.

They’re extended to the last week of December. Hopefully I’m not going to have to use them though.

Well, we're officially booked on a B2B on the Vista April of 2024 out of Port Canaveral. Doing the Havana interior again on both legs, so we'll be paying really close attention to this review!  

[jmklade]

Looking forward to your review.  Your last one was very good.

I decided to go to see the new ghostbusters movie after work. I didn’t even know they were coming out with one but I saw a preview that seemed to indicate the original cast would be in this one so I decided to go see it. 
 

This is your small popcorn and medium drink. I’m almost 30 bucks in at this point.

The next part may be a spoiler…or it may save you $30 depending on how you feel about it. If you like to go in fresh, you may want to skip this next part.

If you have any expectations of the original cast being in the movie for more than the last 10 minutes you’re going to be disappointed. Its not a bad movie for what it is and I did like how they included Harold Ramis  in it…but I kept looking at the time wondering when the ghostbusters were going to show up. Oh there is a post credits scene so you may want to stick around for that.

We are booked for our first time on the Vista in January. Looking forward to your impressions of the ship!

I hear this movie is on our Vista cruise next week.  Maybe we’ll check it out.

Following.  We board the Vista in 12/24.

Hi Greg - following along.  We were on the Vista last week for Thanksgiving. Had a great time and really enjoyed the ship.  I'm looking forward to your impressions.  Maybe it was me, but the Alchemy Bar just didn't thrill me on this ship the way it did on the Freedom (last cruise I was on in 2019). I won't go into details - hope your experience is better.

[Saint Greg]

I took my car in for the pre-cruise oil change today. The wiper blades also needed to be replaced. Fine. They said one of my tires is close to needing a replacement. I went back through my credit card statements. In the last 23k miles I've replaced 7 tires. My car only has 4 tires. These don't have a warranty so I've paid the full price of $300/tire each time. There's another tire that costs less and has a warranty that they don't keep in stock. I may need to call around and find a place that stocks it for next time. I mentioned the tire issue over the summer and they did an alignment...more $$. I was really hoping not to hear anything about needing tires this time.

[Saint Greg]

That’s better.

[Saint Greg]

Oh gosh. I get in my car and something is buzzing in my backpack. I’m thinking. Man I wonder what they thought that was. My micro touch trimmer razor.
