Circus

 

Highly recommended!!!

Day 3

 

ChiBang / Cucina both had long wait time and I wanted to catch Family Feud so I opted for Pigs & Anchor.  Soooooooooooooooooooo much better than Royal’s Portside BBQ….

Day 3

 

Family Feud

 

3 Shows tonight… I caught the 9:45PM show!

From your pics it looks like Carnival has stepped up their game even since Mardi Gras.  Glad you are having fun filled days!

Seems odd to see people lay their towels on the sand since there are so many free loungers available.

 

I’ve been to Grand Turk a few times, and the beach in this area seemed unusually rocky back in November.  Difficult to enter the water.

Is there a Seadogs on Celebration? I have read there is one on Mardi Gras.

Do the shows - Strings and the Circus - have a story?  Or are they simply individual acts - singers, dances, aerialists - performing one right after the other?

Very impressed with the Celebration … they emphasize on the FUN!  I like how they repeat the shows for the day, split the comedians up (multiple shows) to give everyone a chance to catch the show.  Take all the pictures videos you want (except family feud).  If you go on the Excel Class ship and truly love love the experience you probably won’t like it on NCL because it’s nothing like it.

Yes there is a story but for me there are so many things going on that it’s hard for me to follow.  Trying to take it all in!

The chairs are free but the canopy daybeds are for a fee!

Another one of those things new to us on this ship.

What is the Heros Tribute Lounge all about??

Being a military family, we appreciate

Carnival for doing this.  

 

Definitely going to come back to Carnival again.

Really impressed with their new ships,

menus and shows.

 

Love, love the Family Feud game.  I like being a

participant when onboard.   So much fun.

 

Benny were you a participant on this show??

They definitely pay a lot of well deserved tributes to the heroes!  It’s a lounge on deck 8 paying tributes to the past and present service members.  Very nicely appointed.

 

to be on family feud you have to have 5 people and there is an audition process.  The top prize is $500 Carnival Cash and sadly out of the 3 shows no one won!

Yes, I know, but the free loungers are just a few feet away.  🤦🏼‍♀️

Sandwich at Deco Deli before the circus 

Oh no, I don't see Pastrami sandwiches on

the menu.  One of our favorites when we cruise

Carnival.

Thank you for the info.

 

Wow, I did not know about having to audition for Family Feud, or

that they actually have real prizes on Carnival.

Nice!!

 

We have participated before on Royal Caribbean.

Just for fun, no audition, no real prizes.
