  1. I am, I am, she says while raising her hand....8 days on the Carnival Breeze to Aruba, Curacao and Grand Turk
  2. That's too funny......I just noticed that my avatar shows me holding a bottle of beer (was holding my friend's beer in the photo)....sorta gives lie to my statement that I don't drink
  3. Just curious if there are 2 parents going with their 2 children and they book a mom and child in one cabin and a dad and child in the other cabin, then just one of the adults would have to pay for the drink package and both could drink. Don't flame me as I don't drink so don't care one way or the other....
  4. 42 cruises and only upgraded once....porthole to a large window. I never get the upsell calls
  5. We were on the Glory and the cruise hosts, Deno & Gina were so friendly and nice....the nicest we've come across!
  6. OK, so I was bored and went online looking at cruises for the upcoming months. The result is that we have 6 more booked between now and May 1st (she says while making an embarrassed face) Sept 11,2012 Carnival Miracle Oct 14, 2012 Carnival Freedom Nov 30, 2012 Carnival Miracle Jan 6, 2013 Norwegian Dawn Mar 3, 2013 Carnival Freedom May 1, 2013 Carnival Splendor
  7. HHHMMM...ok... So because you didnt see this activity, it didnt happen? Do you know what cornhole is? 1-4 players throwing bean bags in to a hole on an inclined piece of board, maybe 20 feet apart? Wind wasnt a factor. Also, i wanted a bucket of ice to put the champagne in. I thought ..again, after too many years in the customer service world, if they didnt have it, maybe they could have gotten it? I mean buckets of beer are very popular on a cruise, right? I mean a bar, in the main lobby of a ship should have everything, right? Why would i order a bucket of ice from room service when i am in the lobby trying to enjoy champagne with my wife? (maybe that's just me) But thanks for the help, i guess.... I've seen the cornhole game in the atrium lobby on every Carnival ship we've taken in the past couple years. As far as the bucket of ice goes, we've ordered it from room service and just have our cabin steward refill that bucket also
  8. I booked probably a dozen cruises thru them. The only problems I kept having was that my OBC was never applied to my account and I'd always have to contact them after the cruise and they'd send me a check....not quite the same thing after the fact
  9. Yes, I saw they still had that on our May cruise on the Pride.
  10. Yes, Carnival's casino division offered us a completely comped suite on an 8 day cruise. It was really nice but I'd never pay extra for one....balcony cabins are great for me.
  11. Thanks all for the nice bon voyage wishes! We've been on the Legend several times and I love the layout of that ship! We're staying 2 nights pre-cruise at the Holiday Inn Express, Rocky Point. We're going with 3 other couples on this cruise....neighbors and 2 couples we met 2 years ago on a cruise and we've made it an annual thing.
  12. It's still down this morning. Doesn't work for me either
  13. I voted Carnival because they have the best military discounts...all the cruise lines should do the same!
  14. Thanks for those bon voyage wishes! It's been a rather stressful last few days...I broke my foot on Wed. I'm now outfitted with an air cast, crutches and pain meds and ready to cruise! We fly down on Sunday. I'll come back and do a review of the Imagination.
  15. We really enjoyed Celebrity and probably would have stuck with them if they offered any kind of decent military discounts. Carnival works great for us...not as much formality but there are still formal nights if you enjoy that. The crew is good, ships are clean and there's plenty to do. There isn't as much "in your face" service as Celebrity and I do miss the waffle station....but we can go on 2 Carnival cruises to each 1 on Celebrity. We've met some terrific cruisers! The Spirit class ships are the perfect size and layout and we appreciate the fact that there's an adult-only aft pool area. My favorite ship so far has been the Legend. I'd say that anyone should give Carnival a try. We were nervous about the whole "party boat" atmosphere but have had no problems on the 8 day cruises and non-spring break cruises.
  16. We just had the overwhelming urge to make up for lost time. We've met some great new friends along the way and hope to meet many more on future cruises!
  17. We've stayed here twice...nice pool area, transportation to/from airport and cruise port, good restaurant...just be sure it's the Ramada Inn airport/cruise port
  18. I surely won't be donating any money for a "cure"
  19. It was less than 2 years ago that I found this forum...after we'd been on our first cruise and became truly addicted. In a little over 2 weeks we set sail for our 13th and 14th cruises...all in under 2 years! Now it's hard to remember back to the time when the thought of a cruise was just a "pipe dream". For all those about to embark on their first cruise, get ready for the addiction to set in!
  20. The drink of the day in the new funnel cup is $9.95.......they had them on our last Miracle cruise. I sold mine on eBay for $28 Plan to get some more next week. They aren't as big as they look in the pic but they're kinda neat since they're a break from the usual souvenir cup
  21. We've never had a bad cruise and don't ever expect to. There are certain things that we like better on some than others but we're always "in the moment" on a cruise.
  22. It IS tuff having to force yourself to go so often LOL. I was content with the bookings in Jan. and then my DH made the mistake of saying this morning, "I wonder what there are for late April cruises..."....I had them booked within an hour
  23. We've only been on the Legend (3 times) and Fascination (3 times) so far but are booked on the Miracle for the next 3 cruises. Since the Miracle is a sister ship to the Legend I'm sure that will be great as well. While we loved the ship and crew on the Fascination, the very limited and expensive balcony cabins are a down side. The Legend has a great crew, is easy to navigate and has good food.
  24. Just booked the Imagination for B2B in April, '08. Can't wait to see the refit with the new waterpark, adult aft pool area etc!
