Venezia November 9 - 20, 2023

[caribe123]

Maybe they will not change but maybe our cruise being in November will have an effect on the temp. Smoky casinos are the norm. Yes fights are cruiser issues but more security will quell these outbreaks quicker.

We are from Garden City Beach, SC. Where is everyone else from?

FYI to all,

 

This Roll Call title had to be edited. This is due to the following portion of How To: Create A New Roll Call:

 

•  In the Title Box, type the name of your ship, your sail date and year. 
  • When you create a new ROLL CALL topic, you MUST include the sail date in the subject line, and here's the suggested format:    Example: January 1, 2016
  • Please note the suggested date format with the month first and spelled out completely will ensure your new Roll Call topic appear in search results

 

Hope this will be helpful!

 

Happy sails,

 

Host Kat 

Do we have a roll call?

[caribe123]

[caribe123]

Made our final payment tonight. Wish some other cruisers would start posting

Booked this a few weeks ago.  Did an interior guarantee and got an offer for interior Terrazza area so grabbed it. My bday is during this cruise and as I pass on celebrating it, I prefer to be away.  
 

Ship design will be interesting with lack of pool space but now they I have Terrazza area, I will have someplace to sit.  
 

Not planning on doing any Speciality dining this time and we do not do MDR either.

 

St Thomas we are doing Champagne Catamaran to St Johns.  We have been to St Thomas many times but first time doing St Johns.

St Maarten has 3 ships in port and we have also been here many times and have done various tours so think we will just get a taxi to Driftwood or Sunset on Maho  Beach.  Wish they still had the boat tour we did years ago and anchored off the beach.

San Juan not sure yet but may book tour.  We have walked to the fort a few times as well as shopped and hit bars.

Amber Cove and Grand Turk just find a chair by the pool, have a drink and chill or stay on the boat.

Finally someone else who doesn’t go to the MDR👍

Hello all,

 

Is anyone interested in a two tank dive in Grand Turk on November 12th?  It is one of the most beautiful reefs in the Caribbean.

 

My husband is trying to book a dive on Grand Turk but we need to find at least one more diver for that day.  Anyone interested?

Sorry not a river, but sounds cool!!

What will be your favorite port to visit.? Are there port calls that you have never visited before?

Grand Turk

San Juan

Dominican Republic

St Thomas

St Marten

Sea Days

 

Sea Days are always a fav! 😎

DR  have never visited ❓

Grand Turk for the clear blue water 💧 

We have been to all of these ports on previous cruises. Our first time in DR, we booked a whale watching trip from Samana.  For 2.5 hours, humpback whales swam around and under our vessel.  It was scary but amazingly wonderful at the same time.  A true highlight of our many cruises.

We are driving down that morning. We are 1.5 - 2 hours north depending on traffic

[caribe123]

That’s not a bad drive. We are flying from Myrtle Beach and did not want to chance a delay. There was only 1 flight that would fit the schedule.  LGA had a good flight but a terrible return.  Where are you from? We live south of Myrtle Beach near Surfside Beach, SC

Looking forward to cruising Italian Style!  We have been to Grand Turk, San Juan and St Thomas. Any suggestions for St Marten and the DR

Whenever someone asks for a suggestion for the DR, I recommend Iguana Mama tours.  We did the City Tour a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

[caribe123]

We will look into Iguana Mama Tours. Is that you book outside of Carnival?

[ABubbe]

Is anyone planing to pack clothing for the “White Nights” event?  What about the 80s night?     We haven’t been on Carnival for many years and I want to be certain that these theme nights are still going to happen.

Yes, check out their website.  They have a few different tours.

We had booked dinner in Il Viaggio a while ago. But decided this past week to also book Bonsai Teppanyaki and the Steakhouse. Getting close with 19 days to go!

[caribe123]

Used to be on cruises that the MDR was a dining experience. I miss those days!
