Carnival Liberty - Nassau

Confession, we stayed on the ship while at Nassau, so this is really more a recap of the ship itself. 

This was a last-minute 3-day cruise out of Port Canaveral, but it put me at Platinum status on Carnival - yay!

Parking
I reserved a parking spot at Park Port Canaveral again for this cruise.  Great service as usual and VERY easy to get to from 528/A1A.

The Ship

We had an interior room (8290) mid-ship, which was convenient to getting around the ship.  It's a standard Carnival interior so nothing special to share about it.

The food in the main dining room follows the American Feast menus, and there was no lobster option on elegant night.  The main dining room breakfast on regular days has vastly improved with the American Feast concept, and Sea Day Brunch has remained the same as on all ships.  Our meals were all great, no matter where we ate.

The Cruise Director on this ship is Chris "Donkey" Salazar - one of the best CD's I've experienced.  Very high energy, friendly, outgoing, funny.  Everything a great CD should be.

The shows in the theater could use new singers.  The dancing was good, the music and lights great, but the singing?  Only average with some low points.

The Liberty has the 2.0 upgrades: Guy's, Blue Iguana Cantina, and Alchemy.

Germany, Poland, and Prague

The great adventure of 2024 was a trip with our friends to Europe.  This post will not follow my regular pattern for travel posts, and we used a travel agent to arrange our trains and hotels Rail Bookers, but it should be helpful if you are planning a trip to these countries. Our travel agent was Pam from  Unwindwithbliss.com. Preparation German Language Learning Duo Lingo - I primarily used this app because it was convenient to do during my walks with the dog.  That said, if I’d been really serious about learning the language, I would use another option to supplement Duo. I spent about 7 months prepping with Duo Lingo, and while I am able to pick up on bits and pieces, I don’t feel that comfortable speaking it in general - only words and a couple short phrases. Rocket Languages - I accessed this through our public library and downloaded an app.  I didn’t use it much and regret not doing so as they use native speakers and not the weird AI generated voices of Duo Ling...

Celebrity Reflection - Western Caribbean

For Spring Break 2016, the hubs wanted to do a land vacation instead of a cruise so we stayed at Couples Negril for 5 days.  It was wonderful, and we got that out of our system for a while.  For a couple of years we had been talking about trying a different cruise line.  If you have followed by travels over the years, we have cruised Carnival (two weeks shy of Platinum after this year), Royal Caribbean, and Disney.  I started researching and came across Celebrity.  I had heard good things but always assumed it was out of our price range.  I was pleasantly surprised that I was quite wrong. Room We had cabin 6192, obstructed view balcony (or as they call it, veranda).  Please note that the hubs and I have only ever booked interior or oceanview, so this was our first balcony.  The obstructed view didn't bother us.  The room was spacious, and the bathroom was big (relatively speaking) as well.  At first I was worried about lack of drawer ...

Celebrity Solstice - Dawes Glacier, Alaska

If you've ever booked a cruise during the pandemic, you know how frustrating it can be.  In 2019, we booked our Alaska cruise for May 2021. Well, May 2022 was our make-up cruise for the cancelled 2021 sailing.  Better late than never, right? Dawes Glacier - Endicott Arm Pre-cruise First, I’ll hit our pre-cruise stay in Seattle.  We hailed a Lyft from the airport ($50 + tip).  You need to cross the sky bridge and go down one level until you see the green barriers.  The signage was actually great, but several escalators to get there were on the fritz.  Our Lyft dropped us at the Fairfield Inn & Suites near the Space Needle.  The hotel seems newly updated and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. For dinner, we took the advice of the front desk staff and visited Thomas Street Warehouse .  The prices are actually really great for downtown, and they have a cool cocktail menu.  In the morning, we grabbed breakfast tacos at Jack’s...
