Apparently the ship will change its clock tonight. The ship's program on Day 1 wrongly had us changing our time last night.

Good morning. This is our last full cruise day. Here is the current view from our aft cabin:

Sharon, that's a very nice composition of the lighthouse and background. I completely missed that as I was more interested in watching Infinity sailing behind us. On our sailing, the ship's photography department is holding a passenger photo contest. Each cabin is allowed to submit one photo which is printed out and displayed on a wall for other passengers to see and vote for their favorite. The winner gets a free digital photo package for the cruise. That's a pretty shrewd idea by Celebrity because in theory, if you're a serious contestant, you are going to be motivated to have your photo taken by the ship's photographer frequently during your sailing to maximize the value if you win. And so if you don't win, it puts pressure on you to buy the photo package because of all the photos you worked hard to put in the package! The contest is poorly run in my opinion. Apparently there are no rules and when or where your photograph is taken (e.g. it can be taken ten years ago of your dog at a family picnic). It would make sense that the photo should be taken during your cruise vacation. And you have to ask an employee on how to vote. And so I imagine that few people do. You might want to submit your photo on your next cruise.

The ship will be setting it's clock back an hour tonight. There is no time zone change between Nassau and our next destination, Tampa. We are simply switching away from Daylight Stavings Time 24 hrs early.

We just left the harbor at Nassau:

Here is a breakfast menu card we filled out about a week ago: For this one breakfast, we hand wrote Eggs Benedict and received it. We ordered room service for breakfast at each of the five ports. Each time it was delivered on the front end of the time slot we selected. For example, if we picked 7:30-8:00 am delivery, it would be delivered at 7:30 am sharp.

Here's the entire room service menu (non-suite):

No we are not. I originally booked it and even joined the roll call. But once our Dec 2022 Asia cruise on Solstice got shifted to Dec 2023, I cancelled the Nov 2023 Connie TA and booked the one we are now on.

Two photos I took as we were pulling into port this morning: Infinity Allure

Thanks, I didn’t even try spelling her name

Carnival Freedom, Constellation, Infinity, MSC, and Allure

A faint rainbow is visible.

We are doing a ship snorkeling excursion

Good morning from Nassau. Infinity was in the process of getting secured at the dock when we pulled in. Allure of the Seas followed behind us.

As far as the cocktail hour is concerned, no signing of paperwork needed. No practical drink limit either. I don’t know the answer to your Cafe al Bacio question, but I’ll look into it.

Thank you, Vicky. How is Terry doing?

A gifted magician, Adam Heppenstall, performed several times during this sailing. My wife and I saw his final show this afternoon. His tricks are impressive and he is quite funny Earlier today, I was similarly performing magic at the casino—making my cash disappear.

Our last of 3 Evening Chic nights is tonight.

We are not sailing full. I have heard from other Cruise Critic members that we are like 90% full. I’ll check on that. Maybe someone with first hand information can tell us.
