  1. I just booked a carnival offer. I’ve only cruised with them a couple of times, so surprised to get a casino offer from them. It was too good to past up. It’s tied to some famous casino guy. I got a free balcony, free drinks in casino for two people, and a $1,000 free play in casino. We own carnival stock, so $100 to spend onboard. It’s on the Carnival Celebration ship. I’m not a fan of carnival or their food.
  2. I have a genetic hearing lost, so totally need sub titles too! It’s a game changer for me.
  3. Love hearing someone “won” in the casino. Table or slots?
  4. Back to the chicken conversation. Imagine the horror when I sliced into our Sam’s Club dinner to see this! It’s a blood clot. It changed my relationship with whole chickens…..forever!
  5. Ok, can’t be my stash…didn’t store anything but the lays potato chips. You think someone found my stash then added to it! Lol
  6. Oh my, I really really think they were originally the chips I hid, and forgot about them! The plan was to split between the kids for their airport wait, but more chips appeared later that day, that I ended up using. But that was way back to January 19th, certainly they can’t be the same ones!
  7. Great idea to treat your friends using your diamond vouchers. I would of done that, but Old White Woman doesn’t have any friends.
  8. Cruise day, and I’m so jealous as I head out to snow, ice, and freezing weather! Have fun!
  9. It’s going to be a fun week for your family! I should of hidden something in the room for you to find!
  10. We ordered Sushi for lunch. I think kids ordered nearly everything on the menu. Breakfast was on the balcony, surprisingly we were able to do that the last sea day!
  11. It’s the last morning, and that’s so sad! I’ll blog more later, but have to tell you about MJ making it d special for my granddaughter and her new hubby. We came back to a decorated room, cake and gifts for all. Yes, we received two watches! Granddaughter was brought to tears.
  12. Today, three did a snorkeling excursion, and the rest of us just walked around. Ordered pizza to the room, and some of us slept a little. The weather is beautiful. MJ has walked us off for excursions. Last night we did the comedy show. Grown ass kids wanted to sit front, where we sat with our popcorns and drinks. We ate in Jamie’s last night. It’s my least favorite restaurant, but better than the windjammer, which had a long time to enter at lunch yesterday. I’m still trying to digest waiting in line to eat there!
  13. There’s Junior and Dionata in suite lounge and Marko in the crown lounge.
  14. Half time report on golf cart. To check it out, don’t follow their directions, but take the shore excursion exit. They are located around the corner from that. Red shirt golf carts. We got the new 6 seater golf cart. They will hold your cart for two and half hours from docking time. No paying before. Now, we paid $120 for the day. Much cheaper options. We walked the last time, and I’m a walker, and found it tiring. We drove around and parked at Crazy Lobster, where chairs and a drink is free. There’s a small swimming area and lots of shopping. We came back to the ship for lunch. Had to park back at Red shirts. Next crew just headed back out on the cart. For the price, would be a lot cheaper to take a taxi. Would I rent again, no, but fun one time. There’s just nothing to see here. My son’s snorkeling was canceled when they showed. They said rough waters, but it’s hot, sunny and no waves. Thinking not enough people paid for excursion. Genie rebooked them for Cozumel. Perk of having a genie!
  15. MJ, once again, kicked it out of the park! Pre cruise, I requested to sit front center at the ice slow, with buttered popcorn and blankets. We had it all. Yes, we did look a bit bougie, but I’m old, so I can do and look however I want. The small perks for having wrinkles. MJ is really intuitive about knowing the line between being there but still allowing privacy. I think that’s the hardest thing about being a genie! The weather is promising to be much better today, it’s definitely hadn’t been “get a tan” weather. Some of us stayed in the suite hot tub last night. It’s opened 24 hours, which was surprising. The suite deck is really nice. Royal never did sell the pass tot four of the beds up there. Now opened for free. We are in Costa Maya today. Two are going snorkeling, one is staying back to study, the rest of us have rented a six seated golf cart to explore. Casino is closed. The trip has been so wonderful. We definitely are going to do a star class again. Once again, Im writing on my cell phone and not proofreading, so excuse all the mistakes!
  16. I was really surprised about having to cancel the night before dinner. It just started with our cruise. I don’t think it will last! Today, we had a wonderful breakfast on our balcony that started with a hiccup. It rained last night which left our balcony pretty much flooded. MJ had the room steward clear the water pretty darn good. We went to the monkey and sloth excursion today. Had drizzle rain the whole time, but with a nice temperature, it turned out good. It’s not been a sunny trip so far, but nice temperatures! Tonight we eat at 150 then the ice show. Our room holds the eight of us well, especially to play games as a family. MJ really shines handling a large crowd. We have done tons of laundry every day. Our room steward has been personable and does the room well.
  17. We used Galveston Limo to take the eight of us from the Airport Marriott to the port. The van was new and really comfortable. Here’s a surprise. We just git into Honduras, and the casino is open for slots! Lots of people last night were betting $10 and $20 a pull. Saw a couple of $2,000 winners, which is pretty sad for the high bets! I’m doing ok, no big losses yet, but there’s still days to make up for that! I’ll write more later, and I’m on my cell phone, not proofreading!
  18. Well shoot, posted a long blog, and it never made it to the page! Sorry, it turns out this is a repeat. I hosted a slot pull the first sea day where 100 people showed. Unreal! We ended up breaking even, but had so much fun. We didn’t realize our genie (MJ) was there taking pictures and a video. I added prizes, one for the tackiest shirt. We ate in CK the first night steak was good. Service was good, except I asked for a can coke, where I was told I could only get fountain coke, because the bartenders were sleeping. What the heck. When another server asked how the meal was I told him my coke was flat. He appeared with a can coke. The weather was low 50’s at boarding. First sea day it was a little chilly. Second sea day was low 80’’s with occasional showers. This morning our balcony is flooded after heavy rain thru the night. Getting that fixed for we can have a late breakfast out there. We had breakfast out there yesterday and it was wonderful. First day two of card’s wouldn’t work. MJ fixed immediately. Our safe was broken MJ fixed immediately. Love not having to go down to service desk. (I’ll be right back)
  19. Hubby and kids are playing phase ten, waiting to go to Hibachi for dinner. Last night was chops, and first night CK. Service was good in both places. We ate at CK for lunch today. Fool sons asked the waiter if they could have something from chops delivered there for lunch. Answer was no. I did have a “what the heck” moment the first night in CK. I wanted a can coke and was told the “bartenders were sleeping” and only had fountain coke. Next guy asked how things were going, and I told him the coke was flat. He came back with a can coke. lt was low 50’s when we boarded the ship. First sea day was nice but windy. Everyone in our group wore pants. The aqua show did take place. Today, the second sea day, was 82 degrees and a bit cloudy, with a short rain shower. Still nice comfortable weather. We ate outside at the Mexican restaurant. Casino has been really crowded, and I don’t have to mortgage our house yet, so things are good. I hosted the slot pull for our Facebook group. We had 100 people, which was amazing. We ended up even. I gave out prizes for the high scorers, and one for the tackiest shirt. It turned out to be the best slot pull ever! Our genie, MJ, donated two bottle of wine, and the coolest bottle opener. I’ll post a picture of it. MJ has been so attentive, but still giving us space. He has stopped in a couple of times today to update us on the plan. He showed up at our slot pull (didn’t see him) and sent pictures and a video of it. That was special! He really “listens” to you. He is outgoing and personable! So far, it’s been the best genie cruise! I’ll post more later.
