Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 6 Author #51 Share Posted February 6 This is the fourth marijuana email I received re: this cruise in the past ten days. I think I received two before, but never four. I'm not sure if the emails are identical because they are loooong and I stopped reading and just browsed to see if anything was different the last three emails (I don't think so). What are they rounding up the usual suspects without evidence? I thought the days of "I don't know, your honor, it must have been second-hand smoke." were over. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smelled something "skunky" down the hall from us last cruise. Then it went away. I'm amazed the drug doggies didn't sniff it out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recently completed Magic cruise (debarked Sunday) before we boarded we had to go to a wall, put our backs against it, place our carry-ons/pocketbooks on the floor about a foot in front of us, and a drug dog went down the line of bags sniffing each one. I actually thought it was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the reasons why I was curious that the “skunky” passengers weren’t sniffed out.🤷🏻♀️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #59 Share Posted February 11 I caught the Regional Amtrak at Union Station this morning and arrived at the recently refurbished Penn Station just before noon. Penn Station is beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #61 Share Posted February 11 Walked out of Penn Station and I immediately got that wonderful feeling I get every time I visit NYC. Walked across 8th Avenue to taxis waiting and the taxi fare from 33rd and 8th to 48th and 12, where Venezia is docked, was $14. My daughter dropped me off at Union Station to avoid the expensive parking there, but I will take the subway home after the cruise and Manhattan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #62 Share Posted February 11 2 blocks from Penn Station I spotted The Edge viewing platform 100 stories up, and caught a glimpse of The Vessel sculpture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #64 Share Posted February 11 Boarding was painfully slow because they only had 2 dogs to sniff everyone's carry-on luggage and we had to stand back and wait for the inspection, which was done in groups of about 60 people at a time. I think this was my 4th sailing out of Manhattan and the port shows its age. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #65 Share Posted February 11 My cabin... I'm on deck 9 near midship elevator so it's a short walk up one deck to Tomodorro and all the Lido deck grub. Shower doors are nicer than Mardi Gras and bathroom is much bigger. I think Venezias bathroom is best of any Carnival ship I've sailed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #70 Share Posted February 11 Here's tonight's MDR menu. I will probably do MDR tonight and tomorrow, then Teppanyaki and other venues beginning Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #71 Share Posted February 11 I like the layout of this ship for food. Except for MDR, all the food is on decks 5 and 10. I'll be walking deck 5 bow to stern and stopping at Teppanyaki to make a rez next. Pics of deck 5 coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted February 11 Author #74 Share Posted February 11 Teatro Rosso, the main theater, will be showing the Super Bowl tonight as well as the big screen on Lido and other places. All the way forward, this pic was taken from deck 5, the balcony seats of the theater. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
