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

[jam19872016]

We are reaching the end and the crowds have definitely thinned out by this point.

 

 

 

One last set of bathrooms

 

 

Looking back towards the ships.

 

 

The end of the line.

 

 

You are able to walk out to the end of these docks.

The final entrance/exit

 

 

This puts you out just passed the straw market.

 

 

Taxi stand back towards the start of our journey, I missed it on the way out as I took the other row of shops closest to the ships.

 

 

Almost back home.

The new terminal area was very nice and I heard lots of ooohs and awwws from fellow cruisers who were impressed with the upgraded facilities. There were still a lot of people packed in with so many ships in port but at least we had a little more room to move around and it just seemed less chaotic than walking through downtown.

 

I may walk through downtown next time to see if these has eased up the crowds through there. It was just too too hot today and I had to get back to the AC.

 

Very nice improvements made here, and we will be paying for them with our increased port fees 😄

Heading back out now to finish my walking. I have just over a mile left to do and then it should be dinner time with maybe enough time to stop off at the casino for a drink.

Checked in for dinner at 649. Under 10 minute wait but not sure if that is going to be accurate with the section request and the additional request now of no booths.

Wow ready in 2 minutes.

Yep and a table. Impressive. 

[jam19872016]

Vegan linguine at 708.

 

 

And stuffed mushrooms. 

 

[jam19872016]

The pasta was good but not very hot any more which is weird for a special order. 

 

The mushrooms were phenomenal. I don't know what the sauce was it was in but I could have drank it. I got as much out with my fork as I could.

 

Yum 😋 

[jam19872016]

Entrées arrived at 725. I don't remember what I ordered, some kimd of potato cake.

 

 

This was also very good 👍. Not very filling but the flavors were excellent.

You could tell he was really into it.

[jam19872016]

Dessert at 741.

 

 

This was some kind of apple dish which I don't usually love but this had a good flavor and nice and tasty.

I am a huge fan of soup. What is your mom's favorite?

[jam19872016]

I enjoyed my dinner I just wish I had ordered a bit more. I thought about going to the buffet but honestly I don't need more food and will probably hit the late night snacks anyway. 

 

The mobile bar is set up. Done with the bottles carnival gifted me, working on Royal Caribbean's gift now.

Her favorite is the cherry soup which is only on the 8+ day cruises and not on the new menus. She mostly likes the cold soups.
