You are looking LIVE... Mardi Gras 11/19 Thanksgiving

[TxTeach79]

The phenomenon continues. Line for burritos at Iggy’s, zero on the other side for Huevos Rancheros and Arepas 

 

 

Side note: other ships they have a little hot plate and fry the eggs up in a skillet at Iggy’s. Here there’s a whole dedicated flat top

One of my favorite breakfasts on any Carnival ship. Even with all the new stuff I want to try, this had to be stop one! 
 

[TxTeach79]

Definitely have these two on my breakfast radar. Might save Seaday Brunch for the NYE sailing w/ B.

I'm partial to the breakfast burritos washed down with a Thirsty Frog Red! 😁🍺

Plenty of good seats available at Serenity! It’s breezy and probably a touch on the chilly side for sun worshippers just yet, but it’s coming!

 

 

the elevator signs are very useful on this ship.

there’s a deck party tonight and I hit 15 early yesterday, so I’m banning myself from imbibing any of the fun stuff til after my brewery tour!

[TxTeach79]

Strolled the ship, back to my room by 9. Steward has already done his work and left a pal!
 

I think I’m gonna relax and read a bit, then head out in an hour or two. I love doing as much of everything or nothing as I can!

Does the beer on the brewery tour count towards your 15? I was curious because I was thinking of doing the mixology class but don’t want to waste my drinks on something I won’t like?

I am also curious which Wi-Fi plan you have?  Seems like you have a good connection for uploading pictures.

College football Saturday and that's what sports they're showing?  Ugh.

At least you often get to watch NFL. We're huge NHL fans but have had no way to watch any games onboard. Last time we were on Carnival (pre- COVID), we were told the sports bar couldn't show hockey because it wasn't carried on ESPN. I see ESPN+ has NHL games so holding out hope for our January cruise.

Time to grab an Uber….. the bars are back by the beach, so how about Bizzaro Pizza

I was on the Miracle in Alaska in June and we had the Stanley Cup Finals, but that’s probably the only hockey I’ve seen onboard. Wild thing is, we didn’t have the NBA finals (which the Warriors won on a ship out of SF no less) because they couldn’t get ABC or something. Wild.

I went with the premium. The prices are pretty close and I knew I’d be trying to do this. I streamed half a college basketball game on ESPN + last night no problem!

I don’t think so. Looks like you get a bunch of samples and a glass at the end, from what I’ve read anyway

[EngIceDave]

Any of the bars have Formula 1 on this morning by chance?

not that I’ve seen, but I’m just now starting to get about the bars, I’ll report back if I see it

[TxTeach79]

Definitely some grumbling about the elevators. They’re struggling today around noon. Lots of folks going to Lido/lunch. People with mobility issues on scooters/etc hardly have a chance. 
 

 

I really wish people hadn’t been too dumb for smart elevators. We had a good thing going, and we blew it

They show NHL regular season games at Playmakers on RCL, as well as NBA, NCAA sports AND Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.   Plus, being diamond, the 4 comp drinks/day at Playmakers is a nice place to enjoy them.  

[TxTeach79]

Okay so that was DELICIOUS

the Vista and Spirit (and sometimes Conquest) class ships with Skybox have always been loaded up with football. It’s just navigating the non sports bar ships

[TxTeach79]

Early alcohol embargo holds strong at Serenity Bar. This place is so so nice. The main Lido pool was WILD. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun and high energy, but packed and crazy (and tons of kids in the pool)…. This is… the opposite of all those things. 
 

wifi seems a little shakier up here on 18 than in other spots. Not able to upload pics here atm.

Not that I was in any danger of hitting my 15 on my last cruise, but no, the mixology class does not count toward your Cheers limit because you also have to pay for it separately (though you do get a discount for having Cheers). I'd assume the brewery tour is the same, but I hate beer.

[TxTeach79]

Here we go. It’s warm and sunny out, but no one is IN the pool at Serenity. It IS weirdly windy in this area. Who knows.
