This happened to us last month in Tampa.  I got the paper in my suitcase (delivered late) that said I had a "prohibited item".  It was the tiny fan that has gone on most of my 34 cruises!  I showed Guest Services the prohibited item list (from my phone), and fans aren't listed.  However, they were not sympathetic at all, and I didn't get it back. (NOTE: I was told I could have gone to claim it upon debarkation, with security, but we were on the Pride repositioning cruise, so we had to bus from Norfolk back to Baltimore.  No time to waste!)

LUCKILY my suitcase didn’t go to “prison”..they’re just hellllla delayed in delivery.

perfect timing though because I got a shower and as I got out; it was delivered (so I had my deodorant and toothbrush, haha)

 

I just grabbed a quick bite to eat at the Deli (I wanted to get a small salad or some fruits..but the buffet doesn’t re-open till 6; this is my only gripe with carnival..they tell YOU when to eat..unlike Princess where the buffet is open like 10am-11pm; just rotates selections) So I ASKED FOR a cubano..but I think I got the other one that’s LIKE A CUBANO..either way I only ate a little bit (all this protein I’m eating today and no fruits and veggies isn’t good for me)

I’ve got a slot pull at 6:30; then after that I’m going to do dinner in the MDR.

maybe have some drinks after dinner..I didn’t want to be up super late..but there’s a double-header 18+ comedy show at 11:30pm..so..we’ll see.

[KarmaCruisers]

We’ll; I was already at Bar-820 (outside) so I just ordered a woodford manhattan (no cherries)

first drink of the cruise!

[KarmaCruisers]

lol this is honestly the first ever “cocktail” I’ve ever got in a plastic cup hahah

Thanks! (On both parts)

im only doing these slot pulls for fun; the “washing” of the $10,000 is to keep getting “free” cruises on the cheap.

[KarmaCruisers]

So the slot pull was a bust..everybody put in $20 and the biggest hit was someone hit $63 (he won the $120 sidepot); we all ended up getting back $7 😛

I hopped on a dragon link to spin some

spins. Got through 201 points with so far a $2 profit. (Still got 599 more spins to go today)

Having dinner at the MDR (Festivale)

I think I’m going to order the:
Cesar Salad, Wild Rice and Gruyère Soup, and the BBQ Salmon (Emerils special tonight)

I'm following along.  I'll be on the Celebration in October - same itinerary, so I'm looking forward to your experiences.

Let me know if you have any specific requests; I am the CruiseBOT.

I paired a glass of Pinot Noir with my Salmon; it was so good I totally forgot to take pictures, haha.

Sorry, was too good.

As your CruiseBOT I should have done better.

So it shall be.

[KarmaCruisers]

Yikes!

on the first $2000 play through I only returned $1555.10. That’s horrible (EV was $1800)

hopefully I’ll have some better luck tommorow and the rest of this week!

I still just want know what happened before that last cruise review of yours I was following. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[jimbo5544]

Following along, your betting life is certainly noteworthy.

it’s a long story..but basically she chose a poverty/financially-stupid mindset over life with me. (Think maxing out credit cards and paying minimums, rolling over huge negative equity to always have a “new” car {because they absolutely trash them like a pig sty})

I don’t need that negative influence in my life. (And I honestly don’t think ANYONE does..but if those type of people didn’t live like that; then how would the rest of know what financially stupid looks like?)

Thanks..it’s actually just a simple math problem 🙂

[KarmaCruisers]

So I got up early to go and walk the track…put in my mile. (It’s super nice up there, a nice little breeze to keep you cool)

now I’m going to get cleaned up and go to Seaday Brunch.

picture from my balcony..not a worry in the world (inside of ship life; at least)

Thank you. Yes, considering where I came from (absolutely eating trash food). But I FEEL way better. It’s not a diet, it’s a complete mindset change of how you eat. (When you know, you can make better choices 🙂

Congrat on your weight loss and your smart decisions in life, in the end you will be much happier!!! Thanks for this great review. Looking forward to following along. 

I am also on this same intinerary the week of June 30th. Do you have an extended balcony? we have two on deck 12. Also on a casino offer with DOU(everyway). Does something get put on your Card that specifies that its DOUE?  I noticed you had a reservation at Jack's Shack how did you go about doing that reservation.  Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks..ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!

Thanks!

yep; “extended” balcony, I’ll DM you my cabin number. So you can see exact location. I’ve been in this room before, just on deck 10.

Nothing gets put on your card (I see you’re an OG cruiser if you remember the stickers that went on the cards; I remember those too). The system just “knows” you have DOU (everywhere) via your S&S card.

So I “reserved” the chair/umbrella at Jacks by sending them a message using Facebook messenger…however I ended up booking HomeSweetHome excursion based on others glowing reviews.
