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

I don't drink too much - but the pics of those delicious-looking drinks makes me want to try them all!  Looking forward to the continuation of your cruise.

Burrito time.

 

 

Also got a milk, time to start detoxing. 

[jam19872016]

Got another frappe while my cheers still worked.

 

Glad to not be part of the rat race this morning it looks rough.

 

At the dining room now for turnaround meeting.

I love the silent disco! I think my favorite part is just being able to chose between songs. I don't go out dancing enough to dance to songs I don't like!  It's also pretty funny to hear everyone singing.

I love it too. So much fun.

Drink pics slowing down 😆. Thanks for following along.

@Haljo1935 enjoy your cruise today! I'll be following along but I admit I'm a binge reader so it will be a couple days before i start it 😆.

Good morning.

 

I'm getting up now. Throwing my stuff in my bag and getting ready to start cruise #2.

We went to breakfast at Grill’s this morning before we board Mardi Gras and saw y’all in port! I’ve enjoyed reading this as I’ve anxiously awaited my cruise day to get here.

Thanks for following along. I'll wave over to you and admire your full funnel 😋.

Ol’ Stumpy won’t be the stepchild of the fleet for much longer! 

[jam19872016]

She'll be the envy of all her sisters with that shiney new funnel.

[jam19872016]

Back om board at 1029. Embarkation to begin at 1045.

[jam19872016]

They must have heard my plans of grabbing drinks....bar server was passing them out 😆

[jam19872016]

Mimosas. My mom doesn't drink so I took hers.

[jam19872016]

I tried to muster but card won't scan. Security was able to type my number in but when they tried it said no guest I'm cabin. So I need to go to guest services to sort that out.

[lazydayz]

Good luck getting that sorted.  Maybe they found you a better room.  We can always dream!

[jam19872016]

It was their system it's down. I suspect it is to do with the planned outage. I wonder if everyone's account is going to be cut off since they can't check us in for muster. They took a picture of our card and will do it manually later.

 

There was nobody manning priority so I was escorted to the front of the regular line.

 

A riot nearly broke out. I just ignored it but felt bad for the crew who took the abuse for escorting me.

 

Unrelated but related, this is a different crowd it seems and more like what I've come to see on Carnival lately. Rude, loud and abrasive. 

 

Only my first impression and maybe things will mellow but the crowd in Lido is not a friendly bunch at the moment.

Lol don't I wish. System issue shipwide.

[jam19872016]

My room this leg is aft on deck 1. The vibration while we are docked is unreal. I wonder how bad it will be entering and leaving Port. I don't think it will bother me, it's almost soothing even. Free massage bed. 

 

Got some things I need to take care of while I have phone service then I may try for a nap.

[bobbismith]

Can you ask who will be preforming in the Comedy Club on the TA sailing back to Orlando? 

TIA

I will see what I can find out.

[jam19872016]

Phone calls were quick. No long holds today. I feel like I won the lottery.

 

Thought about starting my walk but we have some liquid sunshine.

 

 

 

Small plate from the buffet.

 

Lunch menu.

There is a baby two tables down with no pants on and a diaper on the floor.
