Cruise, J.D. Posted July 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Overall we had a great time. Ship felt a bit crowded, but there was always some place to get away. There were some public indoor areas that got too hot, but it wasn't a significant issue. Employees were friendly. It felt like there were less bar servers circulating around. Would not hesitate to book this ship again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricBallroom Posted July 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Did you hear any discussion regarding todays embarkation being delayed? We were supposed to get on in two hours, but CCL emailed, called, and texted everyone to tell us to show up four hours after our boarding time. The Facebook group for the cruise is buzzing with rumors. The two big ones are they the boat has to be clear of all passengers due to USCG inspection . The other that it’s being sanitize because of a high number of CV cases. Edited July 3, 2022 by ElectricBallroom Syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They essentially called all the zones at the same time. The customs/luggage area was a madhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted July 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I believe someone posted to Mr Heald who responded that there is a full Coast Guard drill today, hence the delayed embarkation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricBallroom Posted July 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) $20 OBC for the trouble. I went to high school in Miami , so we rented a car for cheap and are making the most of it. Two of my high school rock band friends are still playing , thirty years later, so we say them last night. Today will be lunch at Jaxon’s in Dania and a quick trip to Publix.

Cruise, J.D. Posted July 3, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) We had a 10am arrival time, A1 zone, and were on the ship at about 11am. Edit: We got to the terminal around 9:30am and we're allowed immediate entry. Edited July 3, 2022 by Cruise, J.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubohio Posted July 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2022 How was the AC in the room? im also wondering why the delay boarding today? I called carnival this morning and they had no info… Did they say anything when you were getting off the ship or did it seem more rushed today?

Someone above said they thought it was a coast guard drill taking place today that is causing the delay. I cannot confirm if that’s the case, but it makes sense.

We really liked the location for the convenience to Lido. There is also a "secret deck" all the way forward on decks 9 and 10. Edited July 3, 2022 by Cruise, J.D.

We went to one show the 7th night. It was packed and luckily some kind people made room for us. Pretty typical in my experience that comedy fills up quickly. They did have some comedy shows in the forward lounge (theatre), which is bigger and may not fill up as quickly. Edited July 3, 2022 by Cruise, J.D.

Mr305 Posted July 4, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) I’ll be on at the end of July, did you get to try teppanyaki? Which spaces were hot? Seems to be an ongoing complaint lately. Edited July 4, 2022 by Mr305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be an ongoing complaint lately. Did not try Teppanyaki, but it looked very popular. Always full when open. We did eat at JiJis and Bonsai Sushi and both were very good. The main places where I noticed the uncomfortable heat were near some of the outdoor areas (happens on a lot of ships), JiJis, and a few times in the aft MDR. Sometimes we would notice it just randomly walking through the ship. The only time it became really distracting was at JiJis. Edited July 4, 2022 by Cruise, J.D.

lstockford Posted July 4, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Do you recall if they were selling the specialty dining package?? Last time I went I believe it was either the steakhouse or bonsai teppanyaki + $15 credit at others (cuc ins, jijis, etc) for $60. Thank you in advance.
