Okay, I know you like fruity cocktails... the absolute with the passion guava juice at the lido in the morning is pretty darn good... just saying.

I'm going to try that I just find the guava too sweet without cutting it with water. But so is their lemonade so I guess the guava it is. I have a hunch it's going to be just the kind of drink I enjoy.

The new Hero's Tribute bar.

Guessing this is maybe the host's desk? It's where the poker table used to be.

 

[jam19872016]

Coffee bar had been rebranded as Java Blue and has the updated look.

You know what I need.  Well, maybe you don't.  A picture of the Fun21 table.  Hope springs eternal that they have jettisoned the automatic shuffler in the refresh.    Odds of that?   Yeah, nigh on zero.

@jam19872016 Thanks for taking us along on your adventures and letting us enjoy your mom’s shopping. I have enjoyed your sense of adventure and humor. Next time I hope you pack a jacket so you can enjoy a Gala Night.

Is the poker table gone or just moved somewhere?  Pre Covid Carnival had the electronic table on almost every ship, but I wonder if they are moving away from that.

Maybe.  But that could be a bridge too far for some of us Carnival cruisers.

Party ship next door is playing some really loud music. Wish they would keep it down its almost curfew over here.

Never say never, but it's not likely.

I didn't see it anywhere but i wasn't looking. I will see if i spot it anywhere. 

[jam19872016]

I can't be sure, but I think we got a new big screen. Looks new.

 

[jam19872016]

New machines in the place of a nice place to sit and listen to the music 😞

 

 

 

Basically nowhere to sit and listen to the singer now, they might as well pull him out.

No luck, 

 

 

I don't see a poker table anywhere either.

 

Lots of new machines, and my favorite is gone and so is the one machine nobody was ever playing that I could sit at and wait on a drink. Hopefully won't need it got a nice mobile bar setup this cruise.

I am feeling a little peckish 😆. At least I can wait in my room no need to go down until the app tells me to 😀

I always assumed broiled was American for grilled, but now I see broiled on the menu, grilled at a supplement. What is broiled exactly?
