On the way she takes another shot of the Dome Pool, and of DJ Dillandro who is spinning the tunes…. Patti has made it to Soul Play where they have a huge amount of art supplies….. Patti has her wooden squares and her paint…… The class is about to begin….. Here are Patti’s finished works. Not bad babe! Here are some parting words…… To be continued….. How cute. Is there a charge for that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no charge for Soul Play, but you need to sign up in advance on the app. Spots for the cruise go quickly, so check for classes at the beginning of the cruise by looking at each days activities. I have no idea which ships offer this, as this was the first time Patti had seen this.😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only MDR on the ship and is all the way aft on Decks 2 &3….. Here is tonight’s menu….. To be continued….. I'm a bit behind so apologies if this has already been discussed.....but are those tablecloths in the MDR?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationlover16 Posted February 16, 2023 #382 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Soul Play does look fun. Can kids attend? My son would love this. Also, at Alchemy can you get drinks at the exterior seats or do you have to be at the actual bar to get drinks? We hadn't been on Carnival since 2018 and never on a ship with an Alchemy bar. That area looks pretty spacious compared to pictures of some of the other ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival Spirit is the only ship in the fleet that has it, to the best of my knowledge. 3 hours ago, ktmush2 said: I'm a bit behind so apologies if this has already been discussed.....but are those tablecloths in the MDR?? Spirit doesn't have the "upgraded" tables installed yet, so every meal uses tablecloths, just like in the olden days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Alchemy there is no waiter service, so if you are sitting in the outer seats you have to belly up to the bar. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted February 16, 2023 #386 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Never saw anyone in Soul Play every time I went back - multiple times each day. Glad to see it is getting some use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they do the Sea Day Brunch. On port days they have lunch in the MDR. The day I just finished reviewing was supposed to be a Princess Cay day. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Cruise Director Todd was the host….. The Senior Officers lined the stairways…… On the balcony, Captain Ettore Bovo is in the center, with Hotel Director Lars Juel on the left, and Chief Engineer Antonio Bottaro on the right….. After one month your picture makes me yell, ”T-O- double D- on the mic!” T Captain Bovo proposes his toast….. The toast being over, the Hot Shots start their set in the Spirit Lobby….. We decide that this is a good time to pick up our $25 free play in the casino. On the way there we passed the Fun Hub, which is between the Spirit Lobby and the casino…..

Okay, here is some firsthand information on Soul Play. Soul Play is only open when there are classes. There were classes almost every day during our cruise, including embarkation day. The only day there were no classes was when we had our long port day in Bonaire. On sea days there were two classes held. You sign up for the classes on the hub app. They have room for twenty-four (24) in each class. Patti was able to sign up for a class that was added when our day at Princess Cay was turned into a sea day. Afterwards, when she tried to sign up for additional classes, they had all been booked up, so sign up for these as soon as you board! Patti was not charged for the class that she took, but some classes may incur a charge. These classes are posted in the daily "Fun Times", listed as Creativity at Sea or Soul Play Studio. I think that covers it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this Soul Play is still on Spirit (as well as tablecloths!) when I sail on her in November! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted February 16, 2023 Author #398 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Day # 13 – (January 16th) – Grand Turk (9am – 6:30pm). We woke up to a mostly cloudy day, but the forecast is for it to be sunny and warm. The seas are fairly calm as the Spirit makes her way towards Grand Turk. Here is the view from our balcony….. The sun is trying hard to peek through and finally it does…… Way off in the distance you can see the Carnival Sunrise already docked in Grand Turk….. Here are today’s “Fun Times”…..

Rare Jamman54 Posted February 16, 2023 Author #400 Share Posted February 16, 2023 As I mentioned earlier, we weren’t supposed to be here until 11am, but since we missed Princess Cay yesterday, Captain Bovo has promised to get us here by 9am. Once we heard that, we checked to see if our pool cabana was available, and it was, but we decided that we would just head down to Jack’s Shack and see how the experience was there with the new owners. Here are a few views as the Spirit sails into Grand Turk….. Here are a couple of views of Jack’s Shack as the first guests from the Carnival Sunrise begin to arrive….. Here are some views of the beach between Jack’s Shack and Margaritaville….. The annoying umbrella and chair vendors that used to be in front of Margaritaville have been moved down the beach…. This is what the Margaritaville beach looks like now….. To be continued….. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
