Good morning,  Thanks so much for the live.  I had a friend ask me the weirdest question as they are fix'in to go on their first cruise ever and it's on carnival.  Would it be possible when you are out and about and checking out the shopping on board, to look at the prices of cartons of cigarettes?  She wants to budget enough to bring some back for her dad.   I know weird question, but I couldn't think where else to turn to find out the answer.   

Thanks and enjoy your cruise.    

 

I’ll do that this afternoon. No worries.

Really enjoying your review. Will be on the 10 day ecstasy Sept 11. Approximately what capacity are you sailing with? Enjoy your trip

I’m not exactly sure, but it is as full as we’ve sailed since the restart. I’ll try to find out from Jufri tonight.

Ellie is formal today for formal night. Waterworks is packed. 

[MeganGC1983]

Moved over to the “pool” area for Groove for st Jude. There aren’t any seats available by the pool. Hope the kids act right in the people stew. I’m set up right by the stage. Got Caribbean Sounds with Andre going on right now.

Alex has thrown down the SEC challenge for Groove. Any donations over $50 he shout outs your school. Not 1 Roll tide so far. Lots of Georgia donations and a $100 donation for the Vols. 
BOOMER!

Now there is a dance battle between a 6ish year old and Alex.

5 people in an inside wasn’t the best idea. 

😮

Good Eats buffet menu and Sweet Treats. I’m trying the raspberry champagne cake. Best one I’ve tried. The jello is a kid fan favorite. I’m not sure why, but jello and ice cream have dominated this trip.

People stew extra thick today… heading back to the cabin to get the kids ready for afternoon Camp Ocean.

Stopped by cherry on top

Cabin fairy was here. I forgot to mention we met Stewart in the hallway. Very nice. Even nicer now that he’s brought the Bacardi. He’s going to do morning service. And he doesn’t know how all of us are fitting in here either. Pretty sure it’s like a clown car when we go out in the hallway. We just keep coming out. 

[MeganGC1983]

Lite cabin tour… there’s an upper above the main bed. We aren’t using it. My two littles are sleeping together in the other upper above the “trundle bed”. The typical cabin bathroom. 

[MeganGC1983]

I couldn’t imagine waking up and hitting that right above me. What if?… kid having a nightmare, sit straight up, BANG… and NOT in my Emeril voice. 

[MeganGC1983]

Quite the line for Camp Ocean this afternoon.

I love that "CAT CAT CLUB" neon sign on Ecstasy.

Me too!! 

[MeganGC1983]

Blue Iguana time! 

[MeganGC1983]

Jufri is here. Agung made us a pitcher of patron margaritas and now it’s a party!

Is that a cut your own cake situation?

No, there are 2 ladies rotating around. Even serving the jello. 😆

[MeganGC1983]

These corner Red Frog rum and Blue Iguana Tequila bars really limit air flow. It’s sweat box over here. Can’t imagine having to work with a mask here for hours. 

[MeganGC1983]

They have a fan over there, blowing all the hot air. Not sure my Liberty bartenders (shout out Aris, Teo, Emmanuel, I Noyman, etc) would approve of this situation. 

[MeganGC1983]

70’s disco dance class going on via the stage. 

[MeganGC1983]

Jufri says we are sailing at 90% capacity. He just got back from home. He was in Indonesia 5 weeks. Before that the Carnival Freedom. He said freedom was only 70% when he left.
