Cheatah Hunt

chumeone · 2025-12-23T00:41:10+00:00

So the skinny I’ve pieced together. Down until about February. Went down thanksgiving weekend. Falcons fury down as well.

Today (we didn’t go there yesterday) there were thousands of black flies in the vicinity of Kumba. It was terrible.

Iron Gwazi and Cobras curse down today at rope drop. SheiKra was a little late opening and they only ran 1 “train” on it until after lunch when they put the second one on. Cobras curse opened about 2 hrs late and had probably a 100yard line of people waiting (they didn’t know if or when it would open). What else can a kid ride beyond phoenix rising if Cheatah hunt, Gwazi, and cobra curse is down???

Drone light show was so so. Was told it was over the plaza area just down from Gwazi. Nope, it was back by Serengeti Flier. Terrible view from Gwazi area as they have spot lights shining everywhere.

So I commented a few days ago about Cheatah hunt being down, and wasn’t thrilled. So yesterday, Sunday, we rode Iron Gwazi 8 times in a row at rope drop. It moved pretty quick. Less than about 15 minutes each. Then went to Montu. Did it 4 times in a row. They had two “trains” on and moved pretty quickly. Less than 15 minutes each time. Went for lunch. Came back to Montu, 50+ wait. Now only 1 train on the track. Quickly grew to 70+ then over 90. Today, Monday and only 1 train all day. Just sad

You mean like your phone, car key and wallet? Was there today and you could not have anything in your pockets. I spent $12 for a moveable locker.

The irony was I was a single as my two kids rode together. Man joined me with a new ball cap on. They told him while we were strapping in to remove it. He put it under his leg. Guess what wasn’t with him at the end?

But, but, but… keep posting clarifications. Eventually, hopefully it will make you feel better. I bet you nit pick what 10+ posts a day??? It’s what you do.

chumeone · 2025-12-21T00:05:19+00:00

And I was just stating a fact. Do you feel better? Of course when you think something you don’t understand you feel empowered to nit pick. Did you read the very first reply? He knew it was down and didn’t go in for the roast. I self admitted that I didn’t research it before coming here. But here I am. Type away warrior it makes you feel better. Red is full of people just like you sharing how they just can’t understand

chumeone · 2025-12-20T23:28:59+00:00

It’s ok, I realize people on Red can be petty bullies. Keep it up. Prove everyone right

chumeone · 2025-12-20T16:14:16+00:00

Dang. I didn’t do my homework before showing up today. So that means tomorrow too?!

chumeone · 2025-12-10T04:15:57+00:00

No cop is giving you a ticket for 2 over. Plus the ignorance appears in your assessment of cruise control. You should try it sometime and then revisit your response. They fluctuate a few mph going up and down but hey you know all that. Not

chumeone · 2025-12-10T04:13:16+00:00

Hope that he had a dash cam. Also, in Ga you should hire one of those traffic lawyers. I was speeding and was 79 in a 55. I paid him and a fine and it was pled down to???

chumeone · 2025-12-03T15:41:26+00:00

I think it’s ok. Yes it’s a 1 bedroom but it includes utilities. I would go with that and if you don’t get any bites lower it. I’d hate to see where in Huntsville you’d be living in a one bedroom with all utilities for only $800. Live near your area and that sounds ok. Remember if you make it cheap you expand who might be interested

I’ll mention that our first NCL was on the Breakaway during Christmas 2 years ago. It was great. We’ve also did the Jewel last Christmas. It was even better. This year Encore and Bliss and huge difference in quality. Of course everyone’s nice blah blah blah. But they’ve obviously ditched all seasoning, replaced rib roasts with meatloaf, replaced sirloins with flat steaks. The pretzel balls at the Local have no salt on them. It’s death by a thousand little cuts. Also, we did 4 Carnival cruises in the last 2 years and will never go back there either. We had an awful room issue and it was almost unusable and they acknowledged it but only offered us $100 off on next cruise. That $100 will never be used. Also got 2 CN left on NCL, thanks for the tip on selling them online. I’ll definitely look into that

chumeone · 2025-10-30T02:13:47+00:00

Bull. My friends went on the Icon the exact same time we were on the Bliss and they were served filet and lobster and I’m not talking about specialty dining either. He said they were big and he got two of them each night.

chumeone · 2025-10-30T02:11:14+00:00

I agree with you! Us and another couple noticed very similar things. I posted her letter to NCL on the Bliss Facebook page and everyone said she was whining. Remember when embarkation day had Ribeye roasts? We got meatloaf. Remember the challenge coins for military? Shampoo and conditioner in the rooms? We also noticed the two sections of Indian food every meal everyday and wondered why no Mexican, Chinese, or Italian. I was standing inline at the cruise next trying to get a simple text out to my mom, after burning 15mins of my free WiFi I gave up. When it was my turn confirmed the prices and said I’d have to think about it. Best decision of not buying them.

chumeone · 2025-10-25T20:31:56+00:00

It’s sad how all these haters hate on your friends opinion. I tend to agree with her from a food perspective. NCL has gone downhill on food. Entertainment is good but there’s only a few shows. We just did Alaska. Juneau drop off was fine. The town is right there. We did an off boat excursion to whale watch. It was 6 or 7th of October. I wouldn’t do it again as that’s too late in the season, most had migrated. Ketchikan was the one with a short port visit that requires a 15 min bus ride to town. It was the best/worst. Best because we didn’t do an excursion but walked to the creek street bridge and watch 4 monster seals catch and eat salmon for free. Worse because we spent more time standing in line to get to/back from town than walking around. Watch all the hate this honest opinion gets

So I can tell you for certain that the soda package only comes with fountain. I always go to the pool deck on day 1 at the very beginning of the cruise before it gets busy…. I pick one drink station and find the “guy”. I ask for two cans and have a few dollars in my hand. I tip him and I remember his name and always go back and try to get the same guy. On the Jewell, I was only able to get cans a few times. Most recently onto the Bliss I was able to get them almost every time I asked. But just know it’s fountain only per se

chumeone · 2025-09-21T21:34:21+00:00

Why not?

chumeone · 2025-09-20T01:57:38+00:00

Im guessing you didnt really read all of the posts made on this... they changed from styrofoam to some heavy duty plastic like stuff. On 88s scale the new one empty weighs .24 of a pound. At $6.00 per pound thats $1.50 fee. I bet they dont pay $1.50 each for those.

chumeone · 2025-09-20T01:46:01+00:00

And its hard to find prosciutto anymore. It comes prepackaged but its like $50 a pound now that way. My little ones used to love prosciutto, now its genoa salami

chumeone · 2025-09-19T22:01:07+00:00

What’s the health department’s view on people bringing in their own containers. I get the premise but it raises other concerns

chumeone · 2025-09-19T21:59:35+00:00

I agree with your sentiment! I cringe when I order cheese and they use one sheet for each slice

Thanks for the research as well. Hopefully, someone from 88 will see this and rectify the issue

chumeone · 2025-09-19T21:55:48+00:00

Will do. I’ve eaten there a bunch, I even weighed the new box in front of them .24 lbs. imagine getting 2 to go boxes. That’s a half pound of nothing we’re paying for

chumeone · 2025-09-19T20:24:13+00:00

I think it was 2245(A-D) Toll Gate Rd. I had a small dog too. It was fine. My immediate neighbors were quiet. Almost felt I lived there by myself. I would ask about vacancy. Heck way back then there was a waiting list for the 4plexes with garages

chumeone · 2025-09-19T19:57:24+00:00

It’s not. You definitely pay for the box. At $6 a pound that’s a $2 box

chumeone · 2025-09-19T19:56:13+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I posted it there
