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

[grandmacani]

Thanks for the commentary. We will be there for the trip back. We’ve been to all of the ports for the return so it will be a chill cruise.

Grabbed a bite from the buffet before it closed.

 

 

[jam19872016]

That's gonna do it for tonight.

 

Internet was down for about 15 minutes, hopefully not a sign of things to come as we reach the middle of nowhere. It's been great so far.

 

See everyone tomorrow for Bermuda! 

 

Good night.

Service was a little strained with how many diamonds there were. I never did get my straw.

 

The food and company more than made up for it. Both were excellent. 

Awe!! Almost makes up for revealing her age 🤭

Cornmeal crusted chicken and extra broccoli 626.

 

How was this? Had it a couple nights ago on Venezia and it was very dry. Really only 1 of 2 disappointing meals we've had.

Once I worked my way back through your posts, I see you also thought it was dry, tasty but dry.😞

[jam19872016]

Good morning from Bermuda.

 

Slept a little later than I would have liked because I didn't sleep well but I'm up now.

 

Missed dining room breakfast so I think I will go for a burrito today.

It's worth another try. I've found it to be hit or miss. It's gets dried out easily but when it doesn't It's real good. Even my mom commented how good it was last week and she is the picky eater among us.

 

[jam19872016]

Lost .2 lbs. I'll take it! 🤣 😂 🤣

Fueling up for the day 

 

[jam19872016]

Heading ashore.

 

Pro tip: your mobile cocktail unit can also act as a water bottle on hot port days

 

 

[jam19872016]

Back on board to drop mom off and refill my water. It's another hot one although not as bad as the Caribbean. 

 

Now I'm back on foot to explore.

[jam19872016]

Back on the ship now.

 

First stop was for some lunch.

Lunch menu from Lido

 

 

And now I'm recharging with a coffee.

Today's activities

Continued..

 

[jam19872016]

I'm too blurry to see but I spotted myself in the pictures of the deck party on John Healds page.

[jam19872016]

Got a bit of sun today not sure I will be able to handle the heat of the sauna but I'm off to give it a try before dinner.

 

I took lots of pictures in Bermuda that I will share soon.

Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much for all the details! You are giving me great ideas for what to make sure I don’t forget (I love that you noted that your “mobile cocktail device” can double as a water bottle. Lolololol).

 

I’m saving all the menu pics and what’s going on pics to reference once my brain goes into “cruise mode” and I can’t get any real work done! I love seeing all the activities that are unique to longer journeys cruises, as this is my first longer trip, I was wondering what  they’d fill up the sea days with exactly. 
 

super random question, and maybe you’ve addressed it and I missed it, but any idea what the crew is doing while she’s in dry dock? Is it the same folks (mostly) on the return trip? 

[jam19872016]

Checked in at 553 with under 10 minute wait.

[jam19872016]

Guess nobody else is ready for dinner yet. Table assigned at 553. Now to run to the other side of the ship.
