Today's artsy and architectural pics, plus the awesome food porn were really awesome. I do a day like that on each vacation, usually. Years later, these days are still memorable while the rest of the vacation needs a photo tour to bring it back to enjoyable memory.

Any Kanye (or whatever his name-du-jour is) jokes? I've thought up so many of my own.

Been in that same predicament at Rudi's on Mardi Gras! Blessing and curse!

What a beautiful dinner! I trust/hope it was as much a foodie experience as it was gorgeous. Don't forget to breathe moderately, exhale on the slow chew to get the subtle flavors the taste receptors on the roof of the mouth, pharynx and epiglottis can taste that the tastebuds on the tongue miss!

Some people find beer interesting. The history (e.g., aided in survival of crew on early trans-Atlantic travel), the various methods. I get giddy when I hear the word "wort". Many people enjoy brewery tours, every one is a little different. I've been on brewery tours more times than I can remember (😁🏴‍☠️) and a brewery tour doesn't work well without a brewery. Oh and the yummy taste, especially those double and imperial IPAs and stouts!

Doesn't like IPA's and now doesn't like arugula. I see a trend.

Those new sandwiches look GREAT!

No wonder there's three in a row readily available. Look at the view. Real estate not so cheap down the beach a little...

I'll share my experience from January. The chicken sandwiches were fantastic, right up there with cfila. The biscuit and honey something at breakfast was really disappointing to me.

No dude. You need me on the team, together with everyone else who posts Seinfeld stuff on your threads. We'd be undefeated. BTW, Festivus is December 23 this year. In honor of it being closer to Christmas than usual, I bought you all gifts. Of course you already know what they are. A donation has been made in your name to the Human Fund.

Is monkey passed out?

That bag looks crammed! t-shirt and four socks?

LOL you always gotta get the whataburger spicy ketchup in the pic!

I cannot keep up with you sir, but I'm trying. I'll say it again later, but you really bring everything TO LIFE and it feels like we're really kinda joining you on your cruises. Loved everything so far, especially pics of the new ship that make me feel like I'm onboard and the Mayan excursion! THANKS FOR THAT and everything!!!!

Now I gotta go listen to their songs, ... THANKS!??

"Mayan chocolate was made with... human blood..." ... "Mayan chocolate available for sale" I'll pass on that tempting delicacy, thanks.

Everything here looks better than standard MDR and buffet food... your thoughts? Thanks.

Plus look at the difference in the view. No floor to ceiling windows, so you can only see part of the lifeboat. Thanks for sharing the comparative pics, not sure why I was curious but anyway... sail on!

Looks more like he ATE JH.

C'mon Roscoe you can't bring it up without offering a taste! If I was playing videos at a party, this would be right up there! Oh wait, this IS a party!

Is the casino exact copy of Mardi Gras? Are the floor-to-ceiling windows only at the non-smoking table games, but smoker's table games view the lifeboats?

And we chuckle when you guys say "noon games"

My daughter's boyfriend is a Carnival pit boss (casino supervisor, really) and he says the two games with the best payout ratios are craps and blackjack.

When I did cucina first or second day of my Mardi Gras cruise in January, I had the linguine with fresh clams still in shell, with white wine and garlic/butter sauce. It was fantastic, and I'm an Italian food "snob" (foodie). It was the only time I had pasta on Carnival that was al dente perfetto. I recommend this dish for lunch next time.
