TC what did you book and where ?
I don't think we need to worry about the lack of aft cabin balcony parties--they just might be somewhere else instead---almost aft works for me
cheers
boy am I still confuses--but then again it doesn't take much
Hey All ,,, been so friggin busy working, ick. Monday was Jerry Aunt Maries funeral, very sad, but also great to see all Jerrys relatives at her house afters.
Wish I was at BJs Brewery tonite instead of grilling salmon. Jerry doesnt like it and I have not had it much so we'll see if we like-do know its good for ya.
Knew Don and Darlene would love MacDonald farm-definitely in the middle of nowwhere, may we can get up there mid June or so, have Fiesta comin up and our trip to Cancun for Jerrys Bday May 11th-get to stay in Royal timeshare w friends, only have to pay for airfare and booze
Just told cant take jan or Feb off since new computer system comin in, hope its in March but I dont like the itinerary (only you guys)
I think we have an aft balcony, I but have not received any details from Snooze. I tell ya all when he tells me or something like that. Mike

Mo: Hopefully B5 will be 4March--if not 26Feb is EOM so hopefully you can get off for that too.
No, hopefully it will be the 26Feb date, so I can go.

I don't mind working the Saturday before, but I'm not sure my boss would go for it.
On another note, I heard from Chris P. He said to tell you all hi. He's still going to try and come on this one with us. Probably just wants to come to a party that's named after him.
Any big plans for the weekend? I'm just hoping not to drown in all this rain.

Linda, that is good news, Hi back to Chris, it would be great if he was able to join us again. Snooze is are cabin for November next to Scurvy? or Phil and Liz just curious? If I understood you, your cabin is on the side of the ship in one of the new hull balconies. I will be interested to hear how that works. The only other ship that I know of that has that option is QM2 Take care all , Mike PS it started raining again!

That's not rain! It's a flood! We have had more torrential rain and hail in the last month than I've seen here in the last 5 years. Enough already!
I'm sitting here waiting for the cable guy to show up and figure out why 2 of my rooms aren't getting cable anymore. I feel bad for him having to come out in this! If it was a local company, I'd call and tell him to stay inside where it's dry.
Mike, you crack me up. I obsess over my cabin location for days, or even weeks, before I book. You don't even know where yours is! Good thing you have Ray to take care of you.

Mike---you are between Scurvy and ready2gonow.
We have 4 of the 8N's and an 8D aft together on Vista deck.
I have a cove--we must have a cabin crawl party one evening!!
I have some more of my cruise friends in an 8N--they have only cruised twice so I hope they are ready for this group. I actually haven't met them in person yet myself, but very nice.

Of course we won't be hanging around that area (just long enough to get some more Pandora!), we'll be off to Majahual and the beach. Anybody heard of the restaurant 100% Agave there? It's supposed to be on the street just behind the beach front street and have the best authentic Mexican food and tequila drinks. People that have been there are raving about it. You KNOW I'm good at finding these places (Pizza Benji's). The bummer is that we'd have to leave the beach for a little while to go there.

The dock looks great, and the reviews of 100% Agave make that place sound like a must do!
Hmmmmmm is it possible to do it all?
April, the cabin I have booked is a porthole cabin on the same deck as the cove balconies but all the way forward. After the sleepless nights on the Carnival Glory, being on a lower deck all the way forward, I am not necessarily happy with this choice. To upgrade is very pricey though :???:

Looks like a "Do Not Miss" place.
So far your recommendations have been extremely interesting.
Well TC it's a different ship and hopefully you wont have that problem again---- since it didn't happen before on other ship staying in a similar location
Scurvy I did hear people mention something about the number of people in a bath room ??????
Maybe we can go for the record number of people on an aft cabin balcony party ?-- or the record amount of empty drink glasses on a coctail table on a Carnival Past guest or whatever coctail party------
