The cooking demo sounds interesting.  Have you do any of these activities?

I slept well last night so maybe my body is adjusting to the toke changes or maybe I was just wore out.

Yeah, It takes awhile to adjust when they don't let us smoke weed on the ship . . . .,

 

Oh wait.  d*amn you autocorrect!

I have not. Last year the items that were demoed were added to that nights menu. I have not seen that this year.

Omg 😲 my proofreading skills were definitely not awake yet 😂. 

 

I once overheard a lady (on MSC) thanking someone for telling her where to find weed on-board it saved her trip. Said she spent her entire first day in the cabin, could not get out of bed and was going to fly home at her first port because she could not function without it.

 

I did it when I was younger, it did not cause withdrawal symptoms. I think if it were ever legal maybe I'd try it again. But if it's strong enough these days to cause that kind of reaction maybe not.

Just checked in on knitting. There was a group of four ladies knitting and socializing. 

Thank you! Now I’m wondering about the age demographic of the knitters… I’m a “young” knitter (late 30s) but I like knitting and socializing when I can.

I'd say 50s to 60s for this group.

Checked in for dinner at 548 with a 10-20 minute wait.

It would be interesting if you found a quilting group.😉

I recall some quilters on my journey cruise from last year. I bet if you posted on the roll call ahead of time you could organize one on these journey cruises.

Table ready at 559.

 

The menu.

Both were delicious. 

 

Ordered a bottle for tonight.

 

 

First time I've tried this, it's pretty good.

I see caricatures sign up on the daily what's happening.  Are they they drawings? Is Carnival charging? 

[jam19872016]

No charge, tips appreciated. 

 

There is an artist Carnival flew onboard who draws your caricature. I am not sure if Carnival employs more than one, but she is not going to be on for the return crossing as she is going to the Miracle for the Hawaii journeys cruise.

There are multiple artists. We have one now on our Venezia Journeys cruise. 😎

Nice! I wasn't sure since we had the same lady last year. Maybe that means we will get one on the return crossing.

Stopped in the casino to check on the drink situation, didn't look promising so I've taken my mobile bar and I'm outside just me, my phone, and the ocean.

 

 

Non smoking side is open and it's a bit too chilly for most people so I may have some peace and quiet to sip on my champagne and listen to the ocean.

[jam19872016]

Moved inside to catch 80s pop to the max. Moving from my usual spot in the balcony down to deck 3.

 

 

Holiday 🎶

Throwback hour with dj milk d.

 

Dessert with vodka from Alchemy.  He called it a strawberry cheesecake but it has chocolate and cherries so I was skeptical but I can totally taste a strawberry cheesecake.

Any recommendations on a mobile bar? I am going to bring one. Thanks
