Don't forget your special shoes! 😁 🏴‍☠️

Northern Europe this time? St. Petersburg has been on my must-see list for years, but I haven't found the right deal yet. When I do I'll jump on it. Then again, I would be more than happy to repeat the Rome - Greece - Turkey - Sicily itinerary you just finished, it would be my second time. I don't have any future cruises planned yet but I'm looking on carnival.com twice a week or so. I have a February trip coming up soon to China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand but it's all land, air and bus so I don't think it would be appropriate to do a LIVE on cruisecritic.

I almost clicked "like" because I usually do if I can relate to an experience and OH BOY CAN I RELATE TO A DISAPPOINTING MDR EXPERIENCE... then I almost clicked the "laugh" because you know how misery loves company and oh well, I just wonder how duck could be hard to cut through.

In case of emergency, no need to try to remember where that pesky mustard station is... just grab your fancy vest with the whistle and hop on board! Tweet Tweet!! (no, not THAT Tweet Tweet, just the whistle sound). 😁 🏴‍☠️

Is that cappuccino or latte? If you like cappuccino I'd like to hear your opinion on where they are better, MDR or Java Blue. It doesn't seem to make sense, but three out of three cruises where I did a taste comparison, I liked the cappuccino at MDR better.

"Obstructed View Balcony" is like a box of chocolates.

Hi neighbor! Sincerely, 1124.

Remember the first cruise you went on that had a lot of rockin' in the ocean, and how when you got home you felt like you were still going back and forth even sitting down in your house? I got that again yesterday and this morning for the first time since the first time.

Debarkation was super quick once we got moving, didn't have to show passport. About 12 minutes from gangway to uber.

So Lido has this late night thing with steak-n-cheese, hotdogs and other stuff. Usually I am too late and only pizza is open but I lost a ton of money so bowed out around 11 with my tail between my legs. If I could get it to curl up a little more might feel good.

My friends down the hall won over $10,000 with a royal flush. Carnival is so happy they're staying onboard for the next 2 cruises so they can try to claw some of it back.

Last sunset

I think I forgot to post pics of last night's dinner. Later I got pizza at 2am but couldn't find my cell phone to take pics. Turns out it was hiding in my pocket.

Got my free cappuccino on Seaday Brunch.

Joel Lindley

Again, this band was great. Guy joined them from crew and did some great Lionel Ritchie, Commodores and Marvin Gaye songs.

Last towel animal. Never got my fave, the monkey.

I saw both of these guys R acts, both great! Joel did some improv that had the entire crowd standing up clapping. I still think of the 3 I liked that PG show last week the best.

One of my favorites.

Ship is really rocking and making those strange sounds that make you have paranoid thoughts like "that sounds like a bolt hit the floor" and "why did they lower the lifeboats?"

Sushi good as usual.
