Champagne only… and this is an invitation only event and they were checking cards at the door.  No invite no entry!

What did they base the invitations on? C&A status  maybe? 
 

Were you lucky enough to be invited? With all the good publicity you give them you deserved an invite!

I got my invite … they should really just open it up to all… I mean who will go there just for the champagne? 😂

Izumi

 

I took a break from MDR and had Izumi tonight

Waiting for the Balloon to drop … the cruise director gave out prizes

 

$100 Freeplay

$100 Shore Excursion Credir

2 Days of beverage package

2 Days of specialty dinning

1 inaugural sailing on ICON in balcony room.

I did not win!

[BennyBrun]

After the ballon drop people went wild and started popping balloons … it got very loud!

Nice!!

The balloon drop is back.

I have not seen this since our last 

New Year's Eve cruise before COVID.

So much fun!

What a shame you didn't win Benny. That would have been a mega live review to look forward to!

 

I have an open booking that I bought on our recent Anthem cruise purely for the sake of locking in the low deposit in case something came along that caught my eye. I suspect it's not going to be open for very long...

Please STOP posting food pictures.  I'm sitting in my house with nothing good to eat.  😞  😁

just as well that inaugural sailing will conflict with my 2024 Australia Cruise ! Lol

BINGO

Slot Tournament

 

I stood behind one machine that came in first on 3 tournaments 😂 

[BennyBrun]

I stopped by the Arcade and saw this kid with this girl trying to a plush … he went through $50.00 when I started x counting before the machine cut him off… it says purchase limit reached … WOW

Ooooh, are you really going to Australia????

I want to do that for retirement but still got a few years to wait (and save up $$$)!

I wanted to do AU/NZ before retirement, but I don't think it's going to happen before EOY.  😄

 

But maybe I can do it before severance pay runs out.  🤞

 

P.S.  I've been practicing left hand drive (in UK/Ireland) since 2014.  🙃

Yeap … I am going to break it up into three trips to see as much as possible!  It all begins 1/2023 with two more in 2024.  Great Barrier Reef then South Pacific then an Overall Australia cruise.   It will be on the Carnival Splendor.  I find that they have the best pricing so I can have more $ for excursions! Lol

I would like to as well but want to do it properly so unless I win the lottery and can quit working early it's not happening 😕😂

I have not driven on the left since moving to Portugal waaay back in 1986! Not sure I'd know how any more! 😱

I am insanely jealous in the nicest possible way. I will be looking forward to joining you virtually. 😊

Oops, I meant right hand drive (sitting on the right, driving on the left).

I played the slot tournament on our Oasis cruise but came in last on my try. I think my luck was ruined because our cruise was voyage #666.

Lobster night… I went very early to beat the line and the rush … I succeeded… I was in and out in 40 minutes on lobster night!
