I have achieved a connected balcony with my friends next door! I was going to go upstairs and relax on the shaded part of Lido, but finally there was no wind on my balcony, and it is sunny and beautiful out here. And hot! If any of you were around for my first Excel class ship LIVE! you will remember how much this white awning used to really bother me right underneath the ocean suite balconies on a good portion of level nine I guess I’m just used to them now cause I barely see it anymore!

At 9am my husband wakes me up and says “Military Appreciation is at 9:30!” I’m like…9:30??? I DO love to go in honor of my Dad, but I was too tired. He’s taking some of our newbies who will really enjoy it though. But I did roll over and go back to sleep (last sea day till the end of the cruise!) SO…I am sitting here with my room service coffee and a bagel and about to go sit out on my balcony to enjoy the rest of the coffee. Funny thing happened…I got my order (only took 20 minutes!) but when I went to pour the coffee, they sent up an empty coffee pot by mistake. No biggie, I called down and they brought me a full pot right up. They were super apologetic, but hey, things happen!

Ended the evening with the White Night party, the casino and pizza! Whew that Kyndall Fire is like the energizer bunny! Got QUITE the workout! Fun, even taught us some new line dances. 6 of the 9 of us went to the party and danced! Casino not very good to me. Will try again tomorrow. Tried to eat my pizza on my balcony but WOW is it windy. Even more than earlier today. Came immediately back inside in defeat and had my pizza in my sitting room of the Ocean Suite. It was a perfect first sea day! Getting the hang of traveling with a large group. See you all tomorrow!

Really enjoyed Soulbound! Costumes, atmosphere, good spooky fun. This cast may be the most talented cast I’ve seen on a Carnival ship, and I’ve seen a whole lot of talented casts the past 3 years on the Excel class ships. It wasn’t just the above expectations singing and dancing, also the joy with which the cast performed.

Bingo was fun. We bought a bunch of way too expensive bingo packages so like I think we got 48×4 packages for the whole group. Victor was the bingo host and kept it lively. Of course we didn’t win. The first prize was $65 each for three people. The second price was $250 and the third price was a chance at $1000 but the lady won 400. It is so much harder to win on these larger ships that I wish the prices were a bit bigger
