Some helpful tips

 

magnetic hooks work

 

nightlights will not plug in

 

bring a small portable fan

 

book cooking classes prior to boarding they will be sold out

 

book an excursion to Monkeyland

 

see the Love and Marriage show

 

get bignets at Emerils

 

try Chibang

 

tip generously 

 

be kind 

I always travel with a fan, but were the cabins warm?  Did the air not work well?  Also, is there a dual sided mirror in the bathroom to use?

Well the Junkaroo Party Bus was terrible 

 

supposed to get 3 or 4 drinks but only got one 

 

my husband rode the Bolt which he said was fun

 

unfortunately I fell off a bar stool and hit my head and got a concussion along with a huge egg on my head

 

ate at Rudis which was delicious

Your food at Rudi’s looks good but I miss the fun plates.

Day 3

 

We were supposed to go to Puerto Rico but they changed it to Nassau.  We have been there three times so we stayed on board.

 

We ate breakfast in the Palm Restaurant.  Quite good.

 

Then we played trivia at Summer’s Landing.  We sucked.

 

I had a burger at Guy’s.  My husband takes medication for his diabetes that suppresses his appetite.

 

Went to the Havana bar and had a drink.

 

Most places are closed.  Shopping etc.

 

The Carnival shop is very small.

 

In our room resting.  Going to the steakhouse for dinner.

Great job on this whole thing. Your sad day is tomorrow but it's our Happy day. We'll be doing Western but honestly, it's all about the ship for us. Your pics have been great and I know you mentioned your husband and his medication "restrictions" by any chance is he on Ozempic??? (Hope the question isn't seen as too personal) Thanks for sharing.

😧 Hope you are feeling ok.  Did this happen on ship, or at port?

[aml3679]

We are home

 

Carried our luggage off

 

Better to have a passport and faster to the fun

 

Would book the Mardi Gras again but think we like a smaller ship feel better

 

Loved Emeril’s, the steakhouse, Rudi’s, and Chibang

 

Hated Pig and Anchor

 

Did not try Shaqs, Blue Iguana or the main dining room 

 

My head, right chest and tailbone is still sore

 

We unpacked, did grocery shopping 

 

Our cats we’re happy to see us as we did them

Could not get a picture of the plates at Rudi’s.  As soon as you sit down, they take them away.

They remove them as soon as you are seated

Thanks for the review.  We'll be on her soon!

Why did you hate Pig & Anchor?  I'm thinking this will be my favorite hang out area because I can watch sports.  Is the food bad?  Bartenders inattentive???  TV's didn't work??

Bartenders were attentive 

 

area is nice

 

We found the food under seasoned and flavorless

 

I ordered the prime rib for $20 and found no flavor

 

it came with burnt and flavorless corn on the cob, stogey macaroni and cheese, collards doused in hot sauce, pickles, peppers and onion straws which were delicious 

 

my husband got ribs for $11 which he did not like 

 

even dessert, apple crumble had no sweetness.

 

The manager argued when we asked for a refund saying that we tasted it.  How did we know if we didn’t?

 

food is subjective, you might love it
