Let's talk about the best burgers at sea... Guy's Burger Joint. Besides perfecting the burger and OMG the fries!!!! They are efficient at getting a lot of people through a line and quickly! You go through the line and you pick your burger, you can even do a double stack with or without cheese. Not all of the toppings are behind the line with them, but they're there, I'll get to it. They also have the fries up there with the burgers. Don't be scared to ask for more if they don't put enough on the plate for you, I do!

After you get your food there is a mini buffet of toppings to help yourself to after you get your burger. You HAVE to eat from here at least once on the cruise. They are fantastic.

FYI... you don't have to choose from the burgers in the pic. You can build your own however you want it. Also, the donkey sauce is 🤌

Let's talk about The Carnival Hub. It is your go to spot for all the information you may need while you're on the cruise. Spoiler alert, it will not work like you expect until you are onboard and connected to the ships WiFi (and no it doesn't cost extra to use it).

What can you find on The Hub app? We're just going to talk about the "front page" of it today...
You can find out what day it is and the weather for the day. You will have the options to check out your "My Planner" and dining options, shore excursion options, spa services, any photos you've taken, your casino over view, room service (or anywhere on the ship service). It is your go to spot for your cruise.

Even before the cruise starts you will want to download the app because it will let you know how many days til your cruise, when you can check in, and other things like that. It is your go to spot for all the things for your cruise.

Let's talk about Cozumel. If you don't plan an excursion in Cozumel, there is so much to do! It is a cute port little area and the town is a short walk from the port. It is a little "creepy" right at the outside of it but once you get to the road and make a left, you're good to go. There's also police right there too. I didn't feel unsafe at all, but it was different than home.

Walk a minute down the road and there are all these shops and restaurants and bars with all these amazing tequilas! I bought two bottles to bring home, guava and coffee flavored. It's also cheaper to buy souvenirs if you walk out of the port.

Also, so many people spoke perfect English that it wasn't an issue that we didn't speak Spanish. This was a great place to walk around, get some food and try some tequilas.

FYI... if you can find where this mural is, there is a restaurant right there across from it in that little square (on the same side of the road) and the chicken they had on the nachos was AMAZING! Definitely worth a try! And another FYI... the restroom is up the stairs past the stripper pole 🫣🤣

Like I said last week, you never know where towel animals will appear. This is not my pic, BUT I have seen this happen on the Lido deck on a prior cruise. This is normally on towel animal class day. FYI... they also sell a book on how to make all kinds of animals.

The debarkation process (aka getting off the boat once back into home port) is super easy to schedule via The Hub app. You will get an alert and you schedule (1) which type of debarkation you want, (2) the time frame that you want to get off and (3) who you are making the debarking schedule for.

You have two options in getting off the boat. The first is you set your luggage (with special tags) out in the hall the night before getting off the boat. The second option is you get off early and take all of your own stuff with you. If you choose to take your stuff off yourself, you can get off earlier than the people that set their luggage out the night before.

One is not better than the other. It's just all a matter of what works best for you! If you have littles and are going to be maneuvering strollers, then you might opt for letting them take your luggage down. If you can handle it all on your own and have a flight you want to get to the airport for.. then do it on your own. If it doesn't matter then let them take your luggage while you enjoy breakfast on Lido and then go down when you're supposed to.

Look at this awesome seven day cruise on the Carnival Vista in an ocean view room. This price is for two people and includes everything but gratuities for $503.30 AND check out the bottom of the second pic... I would also get $200 in on board credit. That's $303.30 for a seven day cruise for two people!

While many people will say that I "paid" for the cruise already with the money I spent in the casino, I spent $500 but I cashed out $800. That same cruise without this special rate is $2101.30 with $50 on board credit.

That's a difference of $1598.00 out of pocket. This is without taking the on board credit into consideration.

Let's talk about the casino. I played (at this point) less than $200, and as you can see, I won $756.10 in one round of this game. Thankfully I had some good luck this time, but either way you have a greater chance of getting those casino deals by playing a few bucks. This has earned me balcony, ocean view, and interior rooms for $100 per person with onboard credit and free drinks in the casino for me and a guest. Come back tomorrow and see the deal I just found with one of my casino deals.

Here is a sampling of the menu from Cucina del Capitano for those that wish to have some fantastic Italian on the ship. It truly is the best. I am partial to the spaghetti carbonara and chicken parmesan. I do have to say that everything we had was fantastic this time and last!

Just a cute towel animal for the day. Learn how to make these awesome pieces of art in a towel class on the ship. And watch out! You never know where these things will appear!!!
