Wandering alone at night, watching the CLEANING CREW and the IMMACULATELY dressed supervisors!

From TOP and from bottom parts of the cruise ship.

Some take-away items I had to bring home with moi.

Carnival bottled water.
Carnival CRANBERRY DINNER ROLLS!
JAMAICAN chicken and beef patties(meat pies)!

Grand Cayman RUMCAKES!!!!!

My hubby is loving these pictures!
Now, he wants to go on a cruise with moi!
Ouch!!!!

I already purchased a cruise from "Caribbean Cruise Lines"! It was one of those "You have won a free cruise" nonsense I got sucked into.

After reading the reviews, I decided it was not to my liking. I decided to go "The Carnival" route instead. I still have till May, 2016 to use it or GIVE IT AWAY. . . . Or I lose the taxes I already paid UP FRONT!

I think I will go with hubby on this cruise!

The reviews?

Very unflattering!

Let me start by saying I have been on this ship 4 times. You get what you pay for!!!! Don't be surprised by the ship because it is not nearly as nice as the worst Carnival, RC, or NCL ship! I am truly surprised this ship sails still!!! Maybe the problems with this ship is why they have moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Palm beach

1st.... THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ON THE PLANET!!!

2nd... The cabins are ULTRA small!!

3rd... The lower decks have no tvs...

4th... Do not pay for excursions in advance, they mysteriously lose your reservation!

5th... My girlfriend was originally given a 100 dollar voucher, only upon arrival to find out its expired by 1 day! How covenient!! So after not using it, we spoke with a girl @ the office. She sent us a voucher for 25 dollars, on company letter head, only to be told upon arrival that this is no good either since the girl is no longer employed by the company. Mind you this happened all within a month!! How SUPER CONVENIENT!!!

6th... They do not honor their drink specials.....DO NOT BUY the pineapple!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now.... the pros of this ship, since you've heard the a majority of the cons already! The wait staff is friendly & accomodating and I feel really DO try! The food is average, the drinks are average the rest of the ships activities are "you guessed it" AVERAGE!

I would only suggest this cruise line if you pay less than 150 a person, because lets face it.... a flight to Nassau is about a 150 dollars from Lauderdale or Palm beach!

Just returned from 2-night cruise, unfortunately choosing Bahamas Celebration. Not recommended. Cramped quarters, cheesy decor, food disappointing, alcohol on the expensive side, entertainment OK, and by 12 midnight you could barely find anyone still around. Not the party I had envisioned. Can only imagine they stay in business because the fares are rather low, but you can get deals of equal value on better ships. I should have known. Never again.

I NOR GO JUSS DASH DEM THE $400 deposit so?
Na which kind cruise be this?
No wonder na 1-STAR review!!!!
Chei!!!!

wish i would have seen your post a lot sooner
i have been on a cruise once for 9 days from New York to eastern Caribbean. I totally get the need to get off the boat when you get to your first port city because it took us 2 days to go from NY to puerto Rico. from there we went to st. thomas, st. john, british virgin island and st, Marteen.

talk about missing land.

we had a really good time but cruising is expensive. The initial cost to get on the boat is cheap but when you get on, thats when they get you. you have to pay for water, spa, to even play bingo you have to pay. alcohol you had to pay for. They also searched your bags before you got on the ship to make sure you didn't bring any alcohol with you. All in all you eat until you get tired you go to shows until you are tired you spend money at the casino until you go broke and if you make the mistake of just buying things and putting it on your room, the day before you go back home is when you have to settle that bill which would be shocking (lucky for us half of my final room charges were paid with my casino winnings)

I don't think we would cruise again because i personally enjoy the all inclusive resorts and by the way we cruised with Norwegian.

All these can only happen on a first cruise.
We bought water on the ship"! No problem there. It is a necessity.

I don't gamble and I don't drink!
Next time, I will only buy souvenirs!
I will only do the FREEEEE ACTIVITIES OR STAY IN MY ROOM AND USE MY PORTABLE MEDIA FULL OF DOWNLOADED SONGS AND MOVIES!

One red CENT, I will not give them!

. . . . .

Thanks!

Sooooo sorry my darling!
Nor vess abeg.
I take back all my unkind words.
Truce?

I don't like buffets!
There is just something not right about everyone touching the same spoon and children left to run all over the place dipping and mixing tomatoes with ice cream from stand to stand!

I really prefer room service or dine-ins!

All in all, the food was EXCELLENT!!!!!

KanwuliaJara:


. . . And FIGHT YOU TOO!!!!

You should never look for trouble you know?
Especially, from people who do not look for trouble.
I am tough with a good heart!

Not in the least perfect!
I always make amends when I have erred!
Amen.

We all have our character defects right?
So happy with my "short fuse" o!
As e dey blow come, na so e dey blow go!
No grudges, no witchcraft! Amiiiiin ooooooh!

One thing I can't do IS STEAL!!!!

At a "Pirate's Shop" in Montego Bay, I bought goods worth $240 after PRICING and HAGGLING!

I paid with a credit card, collected my stuff and left the store.


When I got out of the store, I checked my receipt and behold the attendant had only charged me $24!!!

So what did you do ?

neoapocalypse:


So what did you do ?

First, I called my aunts' attention and we jubilated!
Then a feeling of MORTIFICATION came over me.

I asked myself : "WHY? And for what?"

I told my aunts : "I can't do it".

One aunt says : "If na me, I nor go return am o!"

The other aunt says : "You are good ooooh"!

I packed up the stuff and headed straight back to the store!

I approached the attendant who sold the items to me and told her I wanted to speak with her privately.
I explained what happened.
You should have seen her face.

SHOCK and DISBELIEF!!!

She shows the receipt to the attendant who was at the cash register.

She was embarrassed.
Either because she had genuinely erred by omission or she was humiliated by being caught in her own antics!
She claimed it was due to too much commotion in the store AND POOR EYESIGHT!

Did she mean to defraud the store?
Just wondering. Because SHE RANG UP THE ITEMS ONE BY ONE.

Mistakes do happen, but I was not gonna benefit from such! There was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO!

I am waaaaaay too blessed to indulge in "petty theft" at this stage in my life and FOREVER!!!! Amen!!!!

My purchases were re-inventoried and instead of paying $240, I was given a $30 discount and paid only $210 and a free Jamaican necklace.

Because the 2 canvas portraits I ordered were not ready due to some problems with the canvas equipment, I was given a freeeeeee Carnival Album and a FREEEE 8GB Carnival MEMORY STICK!

I already purchased one MEMORY stick to store all my PURCHASED Carnival pictures.
I got an extra one free!
The canvas portraits would be sent to my address on file within 2 weeks.

No wahala!!!

CHAIIIII........

THIS ONE TOUCH MA HEART WELL.. WELL.....

YOU ROCK!!!!!!

****KEEP THEM COMING******

awwww.... touching.

but I'm not too clear?
1. did you get debited with $2?

OR

2. She collected $240 cash and only computed $24 (that way she could keep $216 to herself, only your payment was in cash)?

how are you sending any souvenir down to your sweetheart? should I pm?

It was an ethical dilemma I tell ya.
Each of the Jamaican dresses for adults cost $45.
The ones for my little girls cost $25.

I bought 4 with matching bandanas, bracelets and earrings.
That would have been a loss
Not worth bothering my conscience all my life.
Thanks.

Thank you for reminding me that I already paid $24.
Na only $6 credit I get with the free necklace.
Better than nothing.
We did not pay cash o!
All credit card transactions.


You know I don't make contacts with people I meet online.
Nothing good ever comes out of it but GOSSIP from idleness.
Ask those who have tried it on NL or any other Nigerian social media?

No PMs either.
Friendships and romance only last ONLINE.
Once you step out of that comfort zone, you will get to know what DEMONS lie behind an ID.
Many are double agents sent by your JOLISI h-enemies to ruin you.

Ha! Absolutely unnecessary!
Enjoy the souvenirs online my sweety!!!!
