Casino... the chairs at the table games are terrible! Multiple large tears in most chairs, and all have stretched out fabric. I'll try to get pics when the casino is closed. Embarkation day I won $400 on top of the $250 casino cash Carnival gave, but first sea day I lost $550 so I'm just above break-even. I'll enjoy that status while it lasts.

Uber from Cocoa Beach to the Mardi Gras was $14. I arrived at 1040am for my 1030-11 timeslot and it was busy but they kept us moving. I think I only really stopped once, to show passport and get boarding pass stamped, plus slowed down at the baggage scanner. Carnival people at this port have their act together.

So my foot swelled up, like a balloon, as Pink Floyd would say... so I didn't do any walking on Friday except to Florida's Fresh Grill because it was right across the street from the Hilton. #1 on TripAdvisor, it did not disappoint, both the lobster bisque and fresh caught sea scallops were excellent, tasted like chef-prepared. FFG is very busy and they don't take reservations, but your wait time is much shorter if you phone ahead and get on the waiting list, rather than just walking up. Highly recommend !
