The what? 

Sargassum is when lots and lots of seaweed comes on shore.  Lots of smelly, disgusting seaweed.

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

Sat a couple right next to me with a million other tables open.

I didn’t notice that problem at all honestly.

Awwww man. I love that place and I was hoping all the campers would sit at the piano bar all night and free up Alchemy 😆

So these dam automatic doors? Yeah I have had one close on me and ran into another lol

Those doors are weird. We were on the third sailing and we never did figure them out. Sometimes they would open by themselves and other times you had to push the button.  Not a great design

Figures. That’s how it was on panorama. It’s just too small for the bigger ships. Fortunately there are some drinks I want to try at the brass magnolia and the fortune teller bars.

Did waving your hand in front of the button do anything? When I watch the piano guys tour he said just wave your hand in front of it. JH was pushing the button.

We did try waving our hand and it didn’t work. Had to push the little green button.  Now the public restrooms have a sensor that you wave your hand to open and close the door.  Those were great.

Dang it! No irons available! Thanks for the update. Will have to adjust our wardrobe options.

There is no self serve laundry but there are ironing rooms.  I saw them listed on the Hub app. I’m sorry but I can’t remember where they are.  Listed under a good to know on the app

Waving at the sensor works and pushing the button I have found is hit or miss.

So I sat in one of those back areas and made sure I watched the ledge so I didn’t trip. And then this older lady tripped and scrapped her leg =\ This is just not an ideal design 

[pc2425]

From someone who fell in the Limelight, I agree that this is the worst design ever! I was not drunk and I knew they were there but just totally forgot. They are wayyy too hard to see.  We saw several people fall throughout the week.

That crazy ledge in the LImelight strikes again! 🤬

Brass Magnolia seemed underutilized on my cruise and also on the maiden voyage. I guess slightly hidden between Grand Central and Fortune Teller? Nice space often with live music.

I agree that Brass Magnolia was also pretty empty on our cruise.

I am bouncing all over the ship tonight gone to two different comedy shows and now going to see M-Theory which is debuting tonight onboard and the theater is packed.

I honestly don’t understand Carnivals thought process with it since I believe it has to be a favorite amongst guests but still make it super small onboard a ship with a capacity of six thousand makes little sense to me.

Ooh, no idea but sounds exciting! Looking forward to the scoop. 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

M-Theory is the best show Carnival has ever done. 

[WhaleTailFlCruiser]

I got back to my room and my laundry is back and folded. Was expecting to see something about my next leg of my B2B? I know carnival has said B2B folks have to be retested just not sure if it will be tomorrow night or on the last sea day?
