The Lido is packed. 

[MeganGC1983]

I require Big Chicken! 

[MeganGC1983]

The line moved pretty quick and it’s really good. I got the MDE.

Here’s your reminder to choose fun.

I’m gonna have to do something soon. I’m not feeling too hot. I’ve aged since the last time I had the Cheers! Package. And the motion on the back of this ship is a lot. 😬

[MeganGC1983]

Tides Bar… twilight zone.

If you’re by the pig &anchor in the 1pm-4pm timeframe I’d be interested to see how they’re doing football. I assume they’ll have two game on in that hero lounge. Maybe they can split the screen and put 5 on like panorama did. But it seems like a small area to pack everyone into. 
 

I know they have TVs at the bar but they aren’t very big and it’s one on each side of a very long bar. Then the others are above tables in the place. So I wonder if you’re a browns fan and that game is only on one of the TVs over one of the tables are you just standing there staring at a TV by someone else’s table. You’re sitting there eating lunch and people are crowding around your table to watch a game. That’s what I’m imagining.

 

Also interested in how many different games they have on in the casino and at the red frog tiki bar If you’re in those areas. I know on panorama they only had 1 game on in the casino and 1 game on in the pig and anchor.

We just walked by Tiki and there was soccer on.

well we got another hour till football yet. They did the same thing on panorama. Had soccer on until right at kickoff then it switched to the games.

[MeganGC1983]

We found a duck and brought it back to the cabin. Stewart was here. This cabin is so nice. I’m going to need a Mardi Gras Ocean Suite on all the ships from now on.

The Palm dining room is beautiful. 

 

I thought so too. A couple of folks, however posted on my Mardi Gras review with "is it just me, Kmom, or does that MDR look like a cafeteria?"  I was like, I don't think so but YMMV I guess. I love modernism and minimalism and it felt sleek and vaguely George Jetson-y to me, which I also love.

 

It is getting other naysayers as well but it seems Carnival can never please everyone.

Serenity pool.

[MeganGC1983]

Well the pub crawl I planned turned into a WHOLE thing. Over 100 people for sure. We had some internet issues so I’m trying to catch up. 

[MeganGC1983]

Had lots of cocktails and LOTS OF FUN! Went from Serenity Bar down. Staff was running in front of us to the next bars to have enough people. It was so much fun. 

[MeganGC1983]

Lots of drinks… here’s sunset. Getting ready for formal night now.

Holy Bejeezus You are quite the logistical / administrative / organizing genius. Sounds like the bartenders were having fun as well. Nicely managed, Megan!!

 

Looks like Serenity, Red Frog Tiki, guessing the Tides Lido aft, and then I see Havana bar, what else? Did you go down to Brewpub, Alchemy, Fortune Teller and Brass Magnolia?

They only had 2 games on. Cowboys in one area and I missed the other game. Lots of cowboys here apparently

Waiting on our table at the Palm dining room. A TON of dry shampoo was used to get ready. I had high hopes of looking way more glam! Pub crawl dashed the hopes and this is what we get. 2nd formal night, I’ll try harder and be sober-er. Maybe. 😆
