UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Flew down on Thursday, spent a day in Miami before cruising. Had a few wines on the flight down… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2023 It wouldn’t be the big city without watching a fight in front of our hotel. She got dragged out of traffic eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Went to Landshark at Bayside for lunch, highly recommended. The crispy chicken sandwich was quite tasty, all of us were happy with our choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Boarding today was delayed a bit with folks not getting off from the previous cruise, the rain didn’t help. Once on we did the mustard and headed to the Blue Iguana, the pork tacos were as good as I remembered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hit up the room and checked out our Havana Cabana suite. The room is huge, almost as big as our Miami hotel room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted October 14, 2023 After unloading our stuff we strolled down and grabbed some Pig and Anchor, it was quiet down there as most of the ship were unawares that they were serving lunch. Typical good food, the beef and the beans hit the spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I carried on four bottles of wine and had ordered four more bottles for our two staterooms. Two were there and the other room had a fifth of Tito’s instead. I’m not a vodka fan so I’ll probably give them a call tomorrow and exchange the $135 bottle for my cheap bottles of wine. But, a part of me is tempted to keep it and stock up on guava juice every morning and pair it with lemonade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Btw, I burned like a witch before we left for the ship. I didn’t try to carry anything on the ship, but I’m sure we smelled like it. The dog smelling the line didn’t seem to care, he wanted my son to pet him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I forgot to include our itinerary in the title. This cruise is a Horizon 8 day to Aruba, Bonaire, La Romana and Amber Cove. We’re staying in two Havana Cabana Suites. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 14, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) My wife and two oldest are at the dining room. I’ll probably rarely leave the Havana area for the next eight days. Vista class Havana areas are the best value to be found on Carnival. There’s maybe 10 people out here right now, both hot tubs and the pool are empty. Edited October 14, 2023 by UtahCruiser1230 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do the right thing and alert them to the fact they gave me the wrong liquor, but thoughts like that are making me wonder… Havana bar is closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahCruiser1230 Posted October 15, 2023 Author #16 Share Posted October 15, 2023 9:30 and it’s pretty vacant back here. Kids are back from the MDR, reviews were good. The vegetable wellington was well received. 9:30 on the first night and it’s still empty back here. Most people leave with a tan, I got here with one. Fish more and your feet will have chaco marks.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Karen Posted October 15, 2023 #24 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Enjoying your review! Question about the wine. Did you get on with 2 bottles in your carry on? And you ordered wine pre cruise delivered to your cabin? Keep the Tito’s. Bring a few cups of orange/guava juice to your cabin in morning (they change it out about 11am on ships I’ve been on) bucket of ice from steward and a spoon from buffet and you can have cocktails in your cabin! I’ve been known to ask bartenders for a few lime slices to have in fridge too! 👍👏🤗 CHEERS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
