heard this was the place to ask a question. We are going on the Carnival Victory 3/11/2012 and our teen daughter wants to make sure she makes the meet and greet. As we all know this is the most important part of the teen program to bond with others from the start. With the departure time not until 10pm will the meet and greet be prior to sailing or after later that night. Just want to make sure if before sailing she is on board or not at dinner or whatever and makes it. Thanks in advance for your help

Sure, how about he fixes my 1979 and 1985 federal income tax return first, and then we’ll see what we can do about a gift.
thanks.

I agree with Steven her review was AWESOME and the pictures OUT STANDING I was on the Dream in March 2011 and did the Chefs Table it was GREAT and her pictures brought back the whole expierence if I had not done the Chefs Table before her pictures would sell me on it. I LOVED ALL her pictures and her honesty about thier time on the Dream. I hope you can do something special for her and her partner for thier Breeze cruise. 1 word for her pictures and review AWESOME!!!!

Your post is well stated. I am scheduled to cruise on the Liberty March 3, and never once have I had any misgivings about my safety. The first cruise I went on was a seven day western carribean aboard the Legend. On the fifth day, there was an earthquake in South America and a few hours later, we were a good imitation of “extreme sports” in the middle of the ocean. You had to hold on to the hallway rails to remain upright, the dishes on the table in the dining room skated across the table unless you hung on to them and people (even those well dosed with Dramamine) were SEASICK. Being a novice, I guess I didn’t have sense enough to be scared and with much effort, managed to make it as far as the Lido Bar. I literally fell onto a stool, just feeling the beginning sensation of a massive stomach heave. The first pangs of real fear inched into my brain. The bartender, busily setting up for the day, turned without comment and placed a glass of Ginger Ale in front of me. I started to argue but he simply shook his head and motioned for me to “bottom up.” I obeyed and more quickly than immediately, my stomach calmed. He then explained to me how the ship has the equipment and experienced sailors to weather even the roughest storm. He was so calm and positive I was completely reassured. Feeling prepared to face even the worst lurch (and assured that my breakfast would stay put) I thanked him and continued on my way to my stateroom. Every time I’ve had someone ask me if I’m still going on my cruise after what happened to that ship in Italy, I remember that morning, smile and reply “Wouldn’t miss it!” I pray for the lost souls of the Concordia and for those who have been left behind but I have no qualms about boarding one of Carnival’s ships. Kudos to all of those who work so hard to make sure we have a good time!

Hey Robert Jones, one of the first reported death was a crewmember from Peru, so food for thought just keep your opinions for yourself next time…
