Live From The Carnival Freedom: Crossing the Atlantic for a New Whale Tail

[jam19872016]

I haven't torn my room apart yet but I can't find my old phone. I took it out today for phone service and I went to turn it off and I can't find it.

 

Checked at guest services and nothing was turned in. Hopefully it will turn up.

 

Got my walk in for the day. Twenty-five laps, closing in on three miles.

[jam19872016]

Still haven't caught a sunset this cruise.

 

 

Think that's Mardi Gras way out there.

 

 

Gonna go pick up mom and head for dinner. Wonder if I left my phone in her room?

[jam19872016]

Found it!!

 

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 629 with a 10 minute wait.

I was wondering if they would have sea day brunch everyday. It is special because I couldn't get is very often.

Dinner was very good again tonight. 

 

Dinner ran a little long for my preference but not terrible. It is busier this cruise than last one. Enough so that I wonder if we were under capacity last cruise. 

 

Charging my phone for a few minutes then if my bed does not suck me in I plan to go out for a drink or two but this bed is feeling pretty comfy and I don't have cheers that I need to maximize.

[jam19872016]

Escaped the room and now I'm at the casino to play long enough for a drink.

[jam19872016]

Cruiser. 

 

[jam19872016]

Tried piano bar...full.

 

Checked out the guitar player but he was jamming some instrumental stuff so moved to red frog.

 

Freedom rock band it is.

 

Don't go chasing waterfalls 🎶 

 

[jam19872016]

The room has drawn me back in.

 

This ship is really rocking again but fortunately I was proactive enough with my medication that I have felt fine. I've also been dealing with it long enough now that I've got my sea legs and mostly have no trouble walking a straight line.

 

Tomorrow is Nassau and the plan is to get off the ship to see the new port area. I don't think my mom will be joining me but we will see.

 

Good night everyone and thanks for continuing to follow along.

I have found when I go to my mom's house I instantly lose 2lbs that I put back on when I travel back home. I'm sure that's part of the weight gain so quick.

 

Gravity is weird lol.

 

I'll try that tomorrow 😆 I weight before I eat and after I take care of umm any morning business so today's weight has been logged. Tomorrow may not get an accurate reading or any reading if the ship is rocking too much.

Remember the food has significantly more added salt. Also need to drink more water to help that. True weight will show a couple of days at home.

[jam19872016]

Good morning everyone.

 

Slept well last night although the pillows are a little too firm for me in this room.

 

We are docking in Nassau right now and I will head out I'm a little bit.

 

But first, breakfast.

Now that  I'm drinking less I'm getting more water. 

 

I also always gain a lot the first few days as my body adjusts to my new eating habits. It's starting to moderate some.

[jam19872016]

Speaking of weight, after weighing yesterday I was up another 2.8 lbs.

 

Today I weighed for the first time consecutive days since we were stable enough for a reading and I only went up .2 since yesterday. 

 

Step check:

 

Friday 

 

Yesterday:

I was impressed with the improvement to the port of Nassau.  So colorful.

It looks really nice from what I've seen online. Looking forward to seeing it for myself.

Heading out.

@jam19872016 I know you like fruity frapped up drinks so if you like pina coladas (and getting caught in the rain 😉) walk up hill about 15ish minutes to John Watlings Distillery for the BEST pina colada ever!! Lovely, plantation style house.  You can take the free tour or just go to the bar inside and get that pina colada.
