Unlike long ago and IMO, due to companies not retaining service staff long term, expecting accurate answers on the phone just doesn't happen anymore. Sad but true. You have to do your own research and always plan for the worst by having a back up plan. So many times traveling I have had desk people, airport staff, airline staff and even Carnival staff on the phone gets things wrong. You have to do your own due diligence, not saying you didn't, just speaking in general. Lot of web surfing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pirate4me2 Posted February 26, 2023 Author #159 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Just a few shots from around the ship. We wandered back to the Watering Hole on deck 8 for a few drinks. The Funship was good as always, and the Sail Away cocktail was great! Had Pig & Anchor for lunch, the beef was nice and tender, pork flavorful, and Mac & Cheese perfect! For some reason I was infatuated with these giant flamingos 😂 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pirate4me2 Posted February 27, 2023 Author #172 Share Posted February 27, 2023 So, after our sail away and hot tub time we went back to the room, freshened up, unpacked, then met our friends in Celebration Central at 6:30. The bar there makes a great pomegranate martini! At 6:45 we checked in for the MDR, and it said at 50-60 minute wait. They guesstimated perfectly…at 7:45 we were notified our table was ready! We were sat in Tanja’s section, and she’s a great server with personality! Here are tonight’s menus. What would you have? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted February 27, 2023 Author #173 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I got the smoked poblano soup and Caesar salad. The soup was awesome, the salad was ok. For my main I got the sweet and sour shrimp. That dish rocked! The shrimp were nice and tender, and the rice was awesome…it wasn’t bland, it had flavor! I did a cheese plate for dessert, I wasn’t tasting anything sweet. Perfect meal! We sat and talked with friends until 9:30, then headed back to the room so Chris could register for college classes. Day 1 has been a success! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
