I was going to do the transatlantic on the Jubilee next year but that went out the window … so I rebooked for the transatlantic on the Venezia instead!  My first TA!

I was booked on the Jubilee TA as well and rebooked for the Venezia TA.  Should be a good cruise.  TA’s are my favorite.

Aloha. Thank you Benny for sharing your adventures with us. We too have done a few Christmas Hanukkah New Year Year cruises but stopped cause we missed the family this time of year.  To each his or her own but what about you? Not to pry and excuse my post just wondering what your thoughts are.  All the best!

I put some thoughts into this lol 😝… this is why instead of doing a back to back with the holiday cruise, I am getting off on 12/27 … go home … spend time with the family through New Year and then back on the Celebration two weeks later 😆… compromise and win win for all !!  I also spent Thanksgiving on land but I have to tell you that I love time with the family but the clean up after oyi… I was wondering why I was not at a MDR with family onboard a ship somewhere at sea instead of doing dishes and wiping down the kitchen counter lol

Yay, I finally caught a Benny cruise at the beginning!!  Looking forward to your cruise.  I don't sail again until 01/19/23 on a 3 nighter on MSC (first time trying MSC) to celebrate my Dad's 81st Birthday.

Have a great cruise!  My friend is on MSC right now … Seascape

Day 1

 

So I stayed at Element near Mia… clean comfortable close the the airport.  Good night before hotel but nothing else around.  If you miss the shuttle you can use the people mover to the rental car center and walk out … two blocks away and save $20.00 Uber fare from MIA.

I hope you have a fantastic time.  We sail her in February and can not wait.

Day 1

 

I didn’t think Monday would be a busy day at the port … but WOW

 

 busy busy day!  I don’t speak much Spanish so I can’t tell what my Uber driver is saying but I think he is not impressed with the traffic!

[BennyBrun]

Day 1

 

Terminal F … wow … perhaps I got here too early because I did not find too much of a wait and sitting at lido market place for lunch now…

 

I overheard that 1/2 the passengers already made it on … impressive… did not feel

crowded or disorganized in any way… line ropes people were all efficient 

[mcgore83]

Waiting for more!  Enjoy your cruise!

That’s the goal!  Welcome aboard!  Hope you are hungry because there will be a lot of food !

That is the understatement of the thread so far.  If Carnival had an unlimited dining package similar to RCI, then Rudi's, 555, Emeril's, Bonsai Sushi and Seafood Shack would be in trouble, LOL.
