Suite guests had a separate lounge and boarded first at 10:45.  A group hit the line at 10:50.  Here we go!

Right??  We’ve been “tasting” it all!!

Our current position…

[L1211]

Amber cove is beautiful!  Our first time. Perfect day, fresh water pool, no crowds!  

[L1211]

View from mountain top.  Sorry, you couldn’t give me the mountain top villa- would require a Sherpa or two to get up and down!

So true!  This itinerary is great!  Just HMC and Amber Cove- paradise!

Back to last evening.  The show, Soulbound- it was so good! Carnival has really upped their production quality for shows.  They use projection screens in such creative ways to expand the set.  Soul bound was very “Tim burton” feel- maybe Steam Punk meets Halloween?  Anyone who has seen this chime in. We had no idea how this set would play with Soul music, but it was so creative!!!  And the talent level quite high.  We highly recommend!’

[L1211]

It was rainy in port first thing this morning.  We were greeted by these guys having a pool party on deck. Love the little touches Carnival delivers for their guests! 

[L1211]

I don’t know if anyone is following but if so, I apologize about the “live” effort.  WiFi onboard is TERRIBLE!!!  Worst I’ve had at sea.  I get bursts where I can post but they are few and far between.  So catch up when on the ATT Island pass,  WiFi from Amber Cove is great!!
