 This is our first Excel, really our first mega ship since we sailed the inaugural Allure of the Seas a while ago. 

 

We're florida natives, where'd you move to, west coast?

That is exciting to sail on your first Excel!  I guess I can be considered a Florida native since I was born in FL, but I lived all over the US after that.  We now live about an hour north of Orlando and love living in Florida.  We really enjoy cruising on Carnival, although I had an awesome time on one of Royal's mega ships.  Finally reached platinum on our last cruise, so we can enjoy those perks.

Then I am guessing....Ocala or The Villages

 

We'll hit plat on our next cruise, a 30-day Seattle to Brisbane, Australia, in the fall

Yes, The Villages.  There is so much to do.  I keep getting emails from Carnival for discounted cruises from Australia.  A cruise to Australia sounds amazing.  That's a perfect cruise to hit platinum.

I have done that drive so many times, once I hit the Turnpike, I am on autopilot. No matter how tired, if I can just get to the Turnpike....

 

We lived down south, and have slowly migrated north (or west coast), as most natives seem to be doing, LOL

 

I'm Dave, see you in the casino

 

BTW, what time did you check in to get that time, last night?

We got the Sunpass, so if we hit any tolls on that drive, we should be golden.  LOL. I have no idea where all of the toll roads are in Florida.  We are platinum and also in a suite, so it looks like we were able to check in two days prior to the general check in.

If you see this guy, go the other way

haha!  I will say hi.  I sometimes play the slot machines, so maybe I will see you in the casino.  We are also  always at the comedy shows.  Every. Night.

Slots is how I get cheap cruises, which I actually pay more for in the long run. Likely see us at a comedy show or two

We actually cruised on the Mardi Gras for free (minus gratuities, port fees, and a small upgrade fee for a better cabin) because of my slot plays.  I get discount emails often. That was the only time I got a free cruise though.  I don't gamble a lot.
