    Jason, when I'm doing low carb or no Carb, i call my burgers without buns "hamburger or cheeseburger salad". It's the perfect meal. I love it!

  • @kevinfadgen
    @kevinfadgen Před 3 lety +35

    Cove balcony cabins can in high seas have waves crash into balcony, that's why door opens out and they are reinforced so the waves won't crash into room 😎

      @ricktaylor5397 Před 3 lety +5

      And remember, on the Vista and Dream class ships, the cove balconies are on deck 2. I can verify that if the waves are high, you will get soaked out on the balcony. 🌊🌊🌊.

    We love shuttling to port!!! My 1st cruise we did it!!! I don’t do a gangway dance but do one as I get on like wat I saw in this video!!! My bloke just said he can’t have fun during the Muster, he’s still hoping things go back, I don’t care ether way!!! We love guys burgers and I always get a bunless burger, I was bought up on bunless burgers at home. My mum gave us the choice of buns or bunless but we learnt bunless are way better!!! We love both it’s own space and part of a deck!!! We always have tons of luggage as we have a Suite and have a more ppl in the room. The plugs are awesome!!! That closet is awesome!!!

  • @calypso12

    Only the cove balcony cabins have the open shut doors and that awkward wall space, was like that on the Magic too. I also noticed the coves were so much smaller than a regular balcony. Still a sweet spot being so close to the water! 🌊 🐬 ❤️

    Hi you two beautiful fun kid's.. I can feel your excitement.lol funny story when I lived in Ocean Springs MS Gulf Coast 2001.I was working at a yacht club. One of my patrons had worked and just retired from Carnival. She was friends with one of the big wigs well he came into the yacht club with her.. HIRED me on the spot. He said no you don't want to be a bartender you won't make any money. So he hired me I think as an activity director does that sound right? Only gave me I think 2 days to think about it. He assured me I had the job I just had to fly to Miami for the application process. Which they would have PAID for the air fare... I would have took it in a heartbeat just because you work 6 mo.on Get 6 wks. off.. give me plenty of time to land travel. But I had a dog and cat at the time that were truly like my kids. And I just could not kennel them for 6 mo. at a time I just could not do that to them. So lost that opportunity. But if I would not of have them.. I would have accepted in a heartbeat! I'm not a fan of cruise ships like I've told you before. But I would have got to see the world.And 6wks. off WOW.. your balcony maybe small.. but hey still room to sit out and enjoy it!. Love love love you guys's videos I'll always armchair along with you!💗

    Hey guys, we've just disembarked P&O Iona, a British cruise ship and the same class as Mardi Gras. Our cabin was exactly the same as your cove balcony cabin!

  • @claudeallen725
    @claudeallen725 Před 2 lety

    I’m sure that by now, someone has already pointed out that the doors open out for safety reasons. If the weather gets bad and the seas get rough, there is a chance, however small, of waves crashing into the balcony. The door, as is, will act as an extra seal against water getting into the cabin.

    The balcony door opening outward, I inside of sliding g must be because of the proximity to the water. I know that most decks do have sliding doors on the Mardi Gras. I did see a video of a forward facing balcony that also had a door that opened out. Maybe that's why?

    Also, I hope they are both doing well since quarantine on the ship.

  • @Lealelan
    @Lealelan Před 2 lety

    Someone else may have mentioned, but thought I heard on cove balconies that since they're so close to the water, there needs to be some mechanism to close them up if seas are rough. So perhaps easier to do with individual doors vs. slider? Took our first carnival cruise last October on Panorama, and Guys burger was all I'd heard about it. Loved it.. Hope to go again soon! Great vlog as usual!

    That cabin looks smaller than any older carnival ship balcony. I've been on 9 CCL ships and this is tiny. Nice looking cabin, very modern. I agree that balcony door wasn't thought out well.
    Can't wait to see you tour the rest of the ship.

    • @kb1533
      @kb1533 Před 3 lety

      Most Mardi Gras balcony doors are sliding glass. However Cove balconies are found very low on the ship, underneath the lifeboats. Perhaps they are configured differently as a safety feature.

    I didn't think the balcony was that small. It looks larger than the NCL Breakaway class ships. That's a good catch about the design flaw about the door. What good is the table if it constantly needs moved to open the door.

    Rich Risings!
    I’ve seen some videos in which some people are saying Carnival is too lax with their health protocols and Covid so they aren’t going to cruise on Carnival until better Covid policies are in place.
    Given the fact that it was recently reported 24 people tested positive, how do you feel the ship viewed your health? Did you feel safe? Do you feel they did all they could to keep passengers safe?
    Thank you in advance for answering my questions and thank you again for sharing another great video!

      Some vloggers in this video tested positive on this trip. Cruising is not safe at this time.

    I’m not a shipmate, but I think the deck door opens out just in case you hit rough waters…
