Venezia Transatlantic: Travel Day

on
June 19, 2023

Good Morning! On recent trips I have been parking in the remote south parking lot at DFW airport. This time I’m going with express south. This lot is costing me an extra dollar per day for this trip. 
The express lot advantages are more shuttles, shuttles that only go to…

Carnival Venezia’s Il Viaggio by Emeril Lagasse

on
June 16, 2023

I was able to dine at Carnival’s newest specialty restaurant, Il Viaggio, three times on Carnival Venezia’s 15-day transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to New York City. In addition to my experiences. I will share what was said about Il Viaggio during a “fireside chat” with Emeril and Carnival President…

Venezia Transatlantic: Planning

on
June 12, 2023

 

Booking

I have been wanting to book a Transatlantic cruise on a new ship. Two weeks is about as long as I can do. Jubilee was going to be too long. Celebration would’ve been just about right. But I really don’t like that they keep launching these new ships during…

Super Bowl Magic: Orlando Airport

on
May 22, 2023

I took the 888 shuttle to the airport for $40. It was a 25 minute wait for a shuttle. Four of us were in a van. It took right around 40 minutes to make it to the Orlando Airport (MCO).

The shuttle dropped us off at our terminals. It’s a…

Good morning! Today is debarkation day. The door slamming started at 5:30 this morning. I’ve been up since then.
I never did book an airport transfer. My goal is to try to be the last person off of the ship today. Then go eat and drink at one of the…

Super Bowl Magic: Day 8

on
May 8, 2023

Good morning! Today is the last day of the cruise.

Here is today’s Fun Times.

The coffee line is fairly long and out in the aisle this morning.

I decided just to hit the secret coffee in the atrium instead.
I love that they have these events that draw crowds of people away…

Super Bowl Magic: Grand Turk

on
May 4, 2023

Good morning from somewhere near Grand Turk!
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but we’ve had a few days of some rough waters.
My cabin has been relatively quiet. I’m in a location where I only have one neighbor. Those neighbors are two older ladies that I haven’t seen since embarkation…

Grand Turk: Whale Watching

on
April 24, 2023

I normally wouldn’t book a whale watching tour in Grand Turk. When there is a beach right off of the ship, that’s what I normally do. But this time I had a lot of onboard credit to use so I did the beach in the morning and booked the…

Grand Turk Beach Day

on
April 21, 2023

I am spending the morning on the beach in Grand Turk. I normally wouldn’t try to be one of the first off of the ship but I want to get to the beach as early as possible to get a lounger in a good spot.

They just announced that the…
