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

[jam19872016]

Off to get that last mile in. I forgot to add an hour and thought it was earlier still than it actually is.

Guess who still isn't one of the cool kids.

 

 

 

Tonight's menu is my least favorite too. There was some talk of going to the buffet.

Splurge and go to the steak house.

I was eyeing bonsai sushi.

 

Steakhouse at $48 is a tough sell when I'm going to need to sit through a two hour dinner service. Last trip there, which was this ship in January, I was not impressed with the food. 

 

I typically only go on a casino comp.

[jam19872016]

Checked in for dinner at 633 with a 50-60 wait. 

 

Dining room was super quiet last night for Halloween. Guess they all came back tonight.

I've become less enamored with the steak house myself.  Not sure if the food just isn't as good as it used to be, or perhaps just too familiar with the menu.  In any case, not something I look forward to anymore.

I think it's a little bit of both for me.

Even with all the crowds, Pisa is a lovely place to visit. I don’t do spiral staircases and am not good with heights, so we have a series of pictures of me sitting at the bottom of various edifices, taken by my husband from the top. Pisa is one of the earlier ones, taken before it was slightly straightened.

That would be me too! No spiral and no heights!!

Cunard's Queen Victoria in I believe January 2025. It's far from a done deal though. In fact I think it may require a surprise lottery windfall to make it happen.

Come on @jam19872016 you need to make Mom happy!

I did the space needle in Seattle and the Arc De Triomphe in Paris. Both were spectacular. The climb in Paris almost did me in but it was worth it.

She won't be happy if I don't pay my bills 🤣

I forgot to post these earlier. I wanted to highlight the salad choices since they never end up on my plate.

Table ready at 707.

Lido dinner.

The chicken soup sounds…interesting…I’m wondering about the texture with the cheese. I’m thinking it would become stringy. Dijon would add a tang, but with sage I’m not so sure. I’d probably go for the flat bread with the bbq chicken. Lasagna or spareribs? Can’t wait to see the pictures!

Not a soup person. I tried the Flatbread once, not good.

@jam19872016...WOW stunning pics from your tour, loved all of them, not so much to robot lawn mower, but I understand the "guy" thing.

Thank you. It was even more stunning in person. Simply amazing sight to behold. 

 

I'm not even a lawn mower kinda guy but I thought the tech was neat. I can't imagine it working too well on a regular lawn though.

They have a really nice setup on their newest ship with about 50 toppings to customize a salad with.

[jam19872016]

The caprese is about the only salad I eat. This one was middle of the road as capreses go.

 

The lasagna was good. A little dried out on the one corner.  I've found that to be the case on every cruiseline which is why I just get the half portion. 

 

Corn Chilli and quinoa baked tomato and cornmeal crusted chicken 753.

@jam19872016..the tomatoes looked like they were not really ripe yet.

[jam19872016]

Don't forget about the kids menu. 

 

My mom was feeling like a big kid and got two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 

 

[jam19872016]

WCMC with two ice creams.
