Leaving on Mardi Gras today

[csj092809]

If anyone has questions,  I'll be happy to try to find answers onboard. 🛥

@breadandbutter posted requesting information about the shows onboard; type, must see, and suggestions. Enjoy as many different food options as you can, definitely one of the best features of Mardi Gras along with the new bars. Rudi's Seagrill will be hard to book the more capacity increases, heard it has been approaching sold out status at times.

Have a great time. Food options abound.

Go hi up on Sky Deck, up forward near the radar domes

and find the Lucky Coin, usually in a box welded to the bulkhead.

 

Said box is visible in both these shots.

I pre-booked Rudi's and Steakhouse 😊

Csj, I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

How early do I need to get in line for M Theory? And is either the early or late show less busy than the other?

Many thanks, have a wonderful time, I guess you've just set sail, have a cocktail for me.

I plan on going. It is listed on two days and both a late and early show each day. I'll let you know when I go to it. Thanks!

Have a pic of the menu at casino? Getting free drinks at it..

[Aplmac]

Ya gotta look for these too, man!

I think they're called Maker's Plates.

 

Cheng will know more, I'm sure

Misc. lucky coins -from misc. lucky ships!

Last pic in this series is P&O's Ventura - 2007.

 

[Aplmac]

The whole having-coins-on-board-for good-luck thing..

is about having cash/coins to hand, when Your End is at hand

and when you'll be needing to silver CHARON's hand

to ferry you over the River STYX

and to a successful transition to the afterlife.

 

DON'T get stuck in  the dreaded Limbo state

like those despairing wailers at bottom right, who got left behind

simply because Charon doesn't take American Express!

 

[Aplmac]

Charon's the guy in red above...

 

........

 

 

Here is where to look on each ship!

Is Carnival still enforcing a Sip and Cover rule while drinking at the casino and comedy club?

Rudi's pics. Still prefer the steakhouse,  but it was good. You choose a starter,  then soup/salad (or second starter, if you prefer) then main and finally dessert. So, it is a LOT of food.

[lazydayz]

Food from Rudi’s looks great.   Thanks for the pics. 

[csj092809]

Emeril's shrimp and grits and beignets...both worth the extra charge in my opinion.  Although sauce on the grits was a tad oily. Probably from the andouille in it.

[TNcruising02]

All of that food looks delicious!  Thanks for posting the pictures.  As you see the shows, if you could let us know what you think or have any advice as far as getting good seats and wait times, that would be great.
