There was one seat open at the end of alchemy this time. I had Kat make me a deal closer.

Anyone know why they have hooks in the elevators? Is this to hang our coats on for the 10 seconds we’re in the elevator...on a ship....in the Caribbean?

I have not yet received an invite for the CC M&G. I guess they’re going to do it on the last day? Its dumb but I’ve seen them do it that way before.

Piano player is sick so no piano bar tonight. I don’t ever go there but they just announced it.

[Saint Greg]

Got to the late night comedy less than 10 mins before showtime. The only two person spots I could see open were the couches where your feet get stepped on and rolled over by strollers. 

 

I hit the bar. Another problem with this low bar is there are only a few decent seats. The others you either have a pole blocking your view of the microphone or you’re in danger of someone coming in late and standing in front of you. As seen here.

This is probably the most crowded show yet.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I got a little lucky. I was in the pole seat and the guy next to me left while I was distracted typing. A couple comes up and is about to be

split by me. I’m more concerned about the guy taking the good seat. I say “oh I’ll move down for you.” The guy is like “you sure man?” “Yeah no problem. You can’t see anything in that seat anyway.”

Hmm...maybe I’ll just do both.

Could just be me, but it was easier for me to read with the darker background/room lighting, lol.

Welcome to Lee Circle..or Leeless Circle. The statue of Robert E. Lee that once stood on that pedestal was a casualty of the war on confederate monuments a couple years ago. A total of four statues were removed from around New Orleans.

 

 

That also pisses me off.

I believe they hang mats on those hooks when they are loading luggage for delivery on embarkation and on the last night when they’re taking luggage down, so the elevators don’t get all banged up, and maybe to muffle the noise.

What about this? More good, less good, as good?

Yesss! So excited for this review! We are doing the same ship and itinerary in October. If you happen to remember would you see how loud Club O2 is when walking by late night one night? Our cabin is directly above and I'm nervous about the noise. Thanks and have an excellent trip! I'll be here reading daily!

 

When I walked by at 7 there was a sign saying it was closed. I walked by a couple times between 8-9:30 and there were about 50 kids crowded around the dance floor but the music was so low I wouldn’t have noticed it had i not been looking for it. I went by at 10:45 and all of that was shut down. Looked like two kids hanging out in the back. No music.

If you watch NCIS New Orleans you probably recognize this bar.

 

 

OMG, it's a real place, the Tru Tone Bar! I never thought to look it up.  Thanks Greg!

This probably looks the best but still like the 2nd better bc don't have to click on a link. 

 

just realized you can make it larger so it is probably better than the 2nd for that reason

Why don't they use paper straws?

Thank you! I think some nights they have late night music but if it's not nightly I can deal with that.

The absinthe drip. They use the same contraption at the olde absinthe house I covered in New Orleans. I was going to try to catch that on video but nobody ordered absinthe while I was there. This is the first time I’ve seen them do it at the alchemy.

In New Orleans we now call it "Pee" Circle...It's where all the Porta-Potty boxes are stationed for Mardi Gras parades!

Not sure if someone answered this but I thought I'd jump in- it's to allow them to hang padded wall coverings when they're moving the luggage racks in and out, to avoid the walls from getting banged up. It's the same thing you'll see in other buildings like apartments, where they have an elevator that is temporarily being used by movers....

Good morning from serenity deck.
