Live From The Carnival Freedom: Crossing the Atlantic for a New Whale Tail

[jam19872016]

Slight issue with my spa credit. I asked when I made the appointment if I could use it for a haircut. The person I spoke to on the phone said yes.

 

When I arrived I presented the coupon. After the haircut Patience, my stylist, was not sure how to ring it in so said to just com back later to sign. 

 

When I came back the lady at reception insisted the haircut was not covered. Patience came out and stood up for me but the other lady was being quite rude. All's well that ends well and I was only charged the gratuities which I knew I would be beforehand and was no problem at all. Patience was very sweet and I appreciated her service even before she had to step in and help me resolve my issue with rude reception lady.

The seas are rolling a little bit but it is a slow roll and not uncomfortable at all.

 

A great day on the Freedom and now I'm back in the room for the night.

 

Good night everyone.

Good morning.

 

The time on my phone rolled back an hour. Very odd because I don't even have a Sim card installed. I manually adjusted it back to the correct time.

 

And now I just looked and it's an hour ahead. Goodness.

 

Anyway going to see if I can get into the dining room for breakfast before it closes.

He seems very popular on social media. I haven't had the opportunity to see him in action yet but seems very good and his announcements have been very unobtrusive so far, other than letting us know at 730 that the gangway was open 😆.

I'm done with Carnival and have moved on to Virgin exclusively where there really

is no cruise director, or announcements, but I thoroughly enjoyed Andy on my Alaska sailing last year. He was highly entertaining without being annoying or obtrusive. Just the right amount of self deprecation.

So far I like him too.

With all the rocking I haven't been able to weight since Monday since the scale needs a flat non movomg surface. I knew it was gonna be bad but OMG....I've already gained 9.8 lbs. Holy cow.

 

Steps:

 

[jam19872016]

Table was ready in just two minutes had to boogy. Coffee line was short so I made a pit stop and now I'm at breakfast.  Got the same table from yesterday. 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Crew drill starting in 10 minutes. 

 

 

Cranberry juice. 

 

[jam19872016]

Breakfast arrived quick.

I stepped on it twice to be sure and it's mine from home. But yes let's go with that, good answer 😆. 

[jam19872016]

Enjoyed breakfast. 

 

Staying on the ship again today.

 

Put out some laundry and now I'm gonna see if the casino is being generous since it stays open in Grand Turk.

[jam19872016]

Casino was a big nope. Still up but I've got a long time to go so when it's sucking my money with no give I have to move on.

 

Port side view

 

 

Nope.

 

Starboard looking fwd.

 

 

 

 

And looking aft.

 

 

Still following Mardi Gras. Will stay with her since we both head to pt.canaveral on Saturday.

Steps:

 

Much of that could be water retention from the excess salt in the food.  Drink lots of water.
