Duck table side service … the skin was crispy, the duck was beautifully roasted.  It’s not quite like Peking duck but close enough to be called golden duck.  Very impressed!

Food looks so amazing,

 I'm assuming this is a specialty restaurant and

you have to pay extra.

Do you feel like it is super packed?  

I feel it is very crowded and packed.  Lines at most places during peak time but there are places to hide as well.  You really have to manage.  I am perfectly okay with this because this is what cruising is about!  No complaints here!

Would you explain the duck for two a little more for me?  Do you just get the duck meat or do they make different dishes with it?  If you were at a table with 4 people could you share with the table and then order other items to fill in the meal for everyone?

So there’s a two minimum so I paid $40.00.

 You can ask them to stir fry or cut the duck up.  The duck was so good and crispy I had them cut it up to eat it as it.  I can’t say if you have 4 people if all 4 need to participate or not because I did not ask.  You can certainly order other items from the menu.

Day 8

 

Sea Day 

 

I did very little today … my biggest a accomplishment was making it to brunch.

[BennyBrun]

Day 8

 

I spent most of my day at the thermal suite.  I overheard there was a fight that broke out by the theater during the late night comedy hour and they had to stop the show for, no details but it made it to the VIFP on FB.

Day 8

 

Next up Playlist Singers (ones from the theater) there are two sets of playlist singers.  The other one puts on shows at Center Stage.  Always entertainment for you somewhere.

[BennyBrun]

Day 8

 

The other Playlist singers … if NCL performers ever come to work for Carnival they would quit on the first day… this would be too much work for them… I have never seen a harder working group of entertainers than the ones on Carnival.

[BennyBrun]

Day  9

 

Off the Celebration I go … self assist… off by 7:45AM … at the airport by 8 AM.  I moved my flight to the earlier flight so I can get home earlier.  I did pick up a dancing Carnival Hat that was on sale for $8.74!

Thank you so much!  Hopefully you are recovering well and will be back to warm weather soon!  See on the Celebration on the 8th

Thanks, Benny, for another Live.  Safe travels and “see” you soon.

Loved your review again Benny. It certainly helped a little with the post cruise blues I had.

 

Thanks.

Thank you for the review I really enjoyed it.  I know you probably stated this in an earlier post but when is your next cruise?

[FionaMG]

I haven't been able to follow along with this one because I'm snowed under with work.

I'll catch up with it later on for sure.

In the meantime, safe travels home Benny and Happy New Year when it comes. 😊
