Stircrzy Posted July 6, 2007 #203 Share Posted July 6, 2007 H, you need to add your photos to your signature so that people can find 'em. Open the User CP at top left of page, click on "edit signature", scroll down to the box mid page on the right, and add in the signature box: Progreso, Merida, Chichen Itza, Uxmal Photos highlight the above and click on the little globe link above. In the box that opens type in the address : http://hdawson.photosite.com click OK. You could also add the link for the Yucatan board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAggie Posted July 6, 2007 #204 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Didn't this used to be an Ecstacy thread? Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted July 7, 2007 #205 Share Posted July 7, 2007 MrsAggie. There's a problem? We're just trying to let people know about an Ecstacy port of call, which to enjoy to it's fullest, needs a bit of research. Its called sharing information and experiences.

Stircrzy Posted July 7, 2007 #206 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Didn't this used to be an Ecstacy thread?Christy ...and it still is an Ecstasy thread! When Hdawson gets his signature fixed up, you will be able to access the wonderful photos of the Progreso-Merida area from his posts. Viewing the photos will give you options to explore in the area you'll be visiting. Be happy, MrsAggie...we're just trying to enhance your experience. I'm taking my 7th Ecstasy cruise in less than two weeks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerdude Posted July 7, 2007 #207 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ...and it still is an Ecstasy thread! I'm taking my 7th Ecstasy cruise in less than two weeks! :D And we will be a couple of weeks after you. :) We have really enjoyed this thread. Sure there is info about the ship, but also the ports of call. Which when you think about it is one of the reasons we chose this one. There really ought to be threads like this for each ship. IMHO.

hdawson Posted July 7, 2007 #208 Share Posted July 7, 2007 huskerdude. Great idea. I think this has been an excellent and informative thread. Evidently, many others do too. There's more to consider than how to smuggle booze, beat the dress standards or manage to hog the pool side loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciouslysh Posted July 9, 2007 #209 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Does this ship have a chocolate buffet?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobster71 Posted July 9, 2007 #210 Share Posted July 9, 2007 They had it around lunch time , I believe on the last sea day. It was yummy. Not as many selection as the Conquest, but still very good. They offered many dark chocolate cakes, there was even some sugar free desserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmom4 Posted July 9, 2007 #211 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I just checked my docs on Carnival's web site and our OV Guarantee "to-be-determined" room # is now E50!:) It is still a couple of months out (9/22), and I know we can still be moved, but....I am SOOO excited!! Does anyone know if this is a good location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you're not under the stage!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicInTheAir Posted July 10, 2007 #213 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi! We are cruising the Ecstasy on July 14 (less than a week!) and have never sailed CCL before.... How closely do they search your bags for smuggled alcohol? Do they allow you to bring personal coolers on board? Was thinking a layer of bottles, ice and then bottled water on top - would be tough to search to the bottom... What parking lot would you recommend in the Galveston area? We are thinking EZ parking - thoughts? Is there a "clothing optional" deck on the Ecstasy? Or at least topless? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stircrzy Posted July 10, 2007 #214 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi! We are cruising the Ecstasy on July 14 (less than a week!) and have never sailed CCL before.... How closely do they search your bags for smuggled alcohol? Some get caught, some do not... Do they allow you to bring personal coolers on board? yes Was thinking a layer of bottles, ice and then bottled water on top - would be tough to search to the bottom... No ice allowed. They'll dump it out before they take the cooler aboard. What parking lot would you recommend in the Galveston area? We are thinking EZ parking - thoughts? I use Lighthouse Parking. Is there a "clothing optional" deck on the Ecstasy? Or at least topless? Not any longer. Thanks! Have fun! And don't tear up the ship....I sail on the 19th.

At least you're not under the stage!! :eek: Location, location, location. On our Rhapsody cruise we had this great huge corner aft balcony room that was just great.... Except it was right above the stage in the show lounge in the back of the ship.:eek: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, until midnight every night. Was not horrible but it can get on your nerve's. Now when we book we make sure to look what's above us & below us. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee1022 Posted July 11, 2007 #217 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Does the arcade cost money? If so, does it take cash or S&S card? We were not planning on activating our DD and DS S&S cards. Also, my 12 yo DD will be in the 12-15 group. Will she use Club O2? I am so glad I discovered the CC boards. I really appreciate all of the help (and entertainment) I have gotten from everyone who posts here. We sail on Saturday and I am so excited!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get bonus tokens by charging over a certain amount, Don't recall the amount. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozeman, And we would book it again in a heart beat if we had the chance. :D Of course Rhapsody is headed to the other side of the world before to long. :( It truly was an awesome balcony, our first and only one so far. We had cabin #7152 (There are a couple of pics in my link below) Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate all of the help (and entertainment) I have gotten from everyone who posts here. We sail on Saturday and I am so excited!!! :D We took our twins boys a few weeks ago and they loved it. Age 12. They didn't like camp carnival too much, we stayed at the pool mostly during the day and they loved the ping pong (one level up) and the mini golf....we just made them let us know where they were going and check in alot. We did buy the soda cards for them,,$20 (if i recall correct) and it was well worth it. At home I limit the soda to one a day but your on vacation. Let me know if you have any other questions... oh, take post it notes so you can leave notes for each other if you leave the room... at walmart for .97 cents in the mens wallet area i found the most awesome clips for their soda cards and s&s cards...it has a metal belt clip on it with a retractable cord...will never sail without them again...didn't have to worry about them keeping up with their stuff..i did pick up an extra one and good thing one of them broke... have fun... shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokett Posted July 12, 2007 #223 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Did they have guitar hero on the ectasy? My son is 12 and loves to play guitar hero. He doesn't care much for Camp Carnival but I am hoping to entice him with this. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got in from Walmart, and I thought it was my last trip before we leave on Saturday, but I will go again!!! I also need to get bigger insulated cups there! I know my daughter will want to be at the pool a lot, as well as miniature golf! I think there is an afternoon tea on sea days, so I know she will want to do that too! My son is 17, and there is no telling what he will find that he likes, but between arcade, guitar hero, pool and slide, miniature golf, and everything else, I know he will find something! They are both looking forward to their first cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsAggie Posted July 12, 2007 #225 Share Posted July 12, 2007 When we were on the Ecstacy a couple weeks ago we came across some stairs with a gate at the top that read "Only 21 or older allowed past this point". The stairs were next to the basketball and volleyball court at the very back of the ship. I assumed that area was top optional.:eek: Christy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
