    Usually on the newer ships, the outlets in the room are interchangeable by the crew. So when the ship goes on over to Europe for that season, they will switch the outlets to the European plugs.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We've seen "Amor Cubano" on a couple of ships, if memory serves, but it's definitely not fleetwide. Horizon and Celebration had it, and we've seen a reworked show called "Latin Nights" that's similar as well, which we saw on Sunshine.

    We may try the Miami parking you do. Hey just a tip you may have thought about when in a stateroom with card activated lights, I bought a fake card with magnet on back from Amazon to use. Steward needs you to take out when gone though and magnet is for wall mount. I replaced the weak magnet with a stronger one.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It looks like you got right up close to the stage for the opening night show. Did you have any trouble getting close seats the last of the week? We were on the inaugural Celebration cruise, and we had to get to a show hours and hours early just to get seats where we could see. It was one of the worst parts of the cruise.

    • @parodeejay

      No worries! If they place a fruit basket in your cabin, it would be complimentary. It’s typically something that comes with building up certain loyalty levels with a cruise line.

    Hey Dee and Jay, I will be on the Carnival Celebration (Western Caribbean), in January and again in March (Eastern Caribbean). I generally have "Fixed Late Dinning" at 8:15 pm; however, I am considering getting on the "Fixed Early Dinning" and have put myself on the "Wait List" for fixed early dinning. QUESTION: If I am unsuccessful in getting into Fixed Early dinning can I just show up at "Any Time Dinning" and get in?? For dinner I generally eat the same entree every night (Salmon and vegetables). QUESTION²: understanding is that to alleviate crowding in the MDR's, I can go to Cocina Del Capitano and the Salmon will be on the menu nightly? Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work and outstanding videos. 👍😎🤸‍♂️🚴‍♂️⛹️‍♀️

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, if you have assigned dining, you’re requested to stick with your time rather than going to the flexible dining, as that option is filled by the folks who requested it and we’re confirmed into it. You might be able to talk to the maitre’d once onboard and request the swap to early if it doesn’t come through beforehand though.
      EDIT: Totally missed the second question, ha ha. Yes, the everyday menu with salmon should be available every single night at Cucina, from what we understand.
