Rare jam19872016 Posted October 13, 2023 Author #1576 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Dinner was good. The buffet has a lot of choices and while some items weren't as good as I thought they would be, overall I had a good dinner. Much better than spanish night. Casino was a slow drain on my money but a drain none the less. It seems to take $250 coin in to earn a free drink. Assuming a 10% hold which would be very generous you can expect to spend $25 for a drink on average. Not even slightly enticing. They should set the threshold much lower than buying a drink outright. Even more concerning, they use the same software Carnival has so they have the ability to implement a pay to redeem free drinks model. Hope that never happens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 13, 2023 Author #1577 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I really wanted to do silent disco tonight but I am dragging after last night followed by my morning in room announcement so I'm back in the room and turning in for the evening. Next up, Ibezia. Good night everyone. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1580 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Good morning. I slept hard last night, probably the hardest I've slept all trip. We won't be in Ibiza until 1130. There will be a shuttle to take us into town but I suspect the line to board them will be long so it might not be until later in the afternoon before we try. Getting ready now and making my way out for some breakfast. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1584 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Breakfast. Absolutely nowhere to sit. If I had one negative that just really sticks out its how small the seating area is here. I ended up eating in the garden lounge as did several others. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1586 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I made it to the library to use their computers. I had intended to start getting my day trips caught up. I was able to login but the internet was painfully slow. I tried to do a speed test to see if they were using Starlink or a different service being hardwired to a connection. Too slow to even get a reading. I was most definitely connected, things were loading just very very slowly. I switched back to my phone and tried another test. Same thing, they must be blocking access which is pretty shady IMHO. Nevertheless speeds on my phone are just fine and I can't say I've ever experienced the hardwired computers being slower than a signal bouncing from router to router. I will keep trying but I may not get to post those until I'm on freedom. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose supply chain issues will be the excuse but I expect some OBC at this point if I am ever to consider to return to such a second rate cruise line. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1589 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Pulling into Ibiza now. It sure is pretty out but for the first time this trip since Bermuda it's hot out. Coupled with the late arrival I'm not sure how far into port I'm going to make it before the temperature wears me out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1590 Share Posted October 14, 2023 The gangway is open. Going to let the masses leave and leave later. Probably do some lunch first. Temperature is 77, high of 79 today but the humidity is making it feel much warmer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #1599 Share Posted October 14, 2023 The fish was also good. A lighter option so not super filling but that's probably not a bad thing since I ordered two desserts. Baked cheesecake. Dark chocolate and orange mousse. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, if we survive, we are going there in 2025 for the first time in many Med. cruises, and I am looking forward to it, though admittedly not for the clubbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
