I like the style of this place very much, looks great IMHO. 
 

Hopefully the sign maker is a second language issue rather than a literacy issue. 

its great especially when you consider the price 

[TxTeach79]

Back west into Doral…

 

 

For only $200 at CVS, Cuban Santa can be yours. Cigar included!

While we’re at it, let’s make a swing by the Tower of the Beards..

 

 

I wanted to go around front and get a picture of the big whale tail out front, but it’s gated off.

I worked as an officer on ships after college and I actually interviewed for NCL America in that building too! It was right when they were about to send the Sky / Jade back to the foreign flag fleet, so wound up on cargo ships

If he was 50% off I'd totally Venmo you the money to bring him on the cruise.

B ordered DoorDash from Arepa bar while we chill in the room, so when the front desk called, I ran down to get it. The bar is buzzing now, and fireworks are going off somewhere…

 

 

stuffed guava/cream cheese pastries

 

 

meat lover’s arepa

 

[TxTeach79]

She’s getting close now… east off the Keys, clear of Key West…

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Plan tomorrow morning - take the car to the Hertz drop off at MIA, grab an Uber to the pier. Hopefully it’s as simple as it sounds!

My local panadaria has my favorite guave and cream cheese empanadas, at some point in time I must have these! Really liking your hotel also, good find👍

HAPPY CRUISE DAY Y’ALL!

[TxTeach79]

This feels new. The link doesn’t work, but hey…

 

(getting error code -200 when trying to post screenshots. Tried two browsers. Weird. Carnival emailed me a link to my boarding pass)

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Yeah, not sure if it’s me or what- definitely can’t post screenshots thus far this morning. Anyone else?

[TxTeach79]

Okay, looks like photos still work anyway… whew! B is in the shower, then we’ll get her packed up and start getting our rental turned in…

I can post a screenshot.  Your chariot awaits.

Can’t believe I didn’t proofread that I CAN post screenshots

Current lineup of reserved stuff, shipboard edition:

 

Chef's Table on Monday. We did this on the Pride in Europe, the very first group in their newly renovated Chef's Table space, and we really enjoyed it. It's long and can be a night ender, but I figured after what's sure to be a late and wild NYE and a pool heavy New Year's Day, that's not the worst thing the night before our first port. Excited to see the menu.

 

Teppanyaki on Tuesday. B and I have done Teppanyaki on Horizon and Mardi Gras (I've also done the equivalent on Norwegian Breakaway and Jade) and it honestly might be her favorite meal onboard. It's up there for me as well, we always have a great time and love the food, and we're two for two with really entertaining chefs. 

 

Pasta Master Class at Carnival Kitchen around lunch time on Saturday. Neither of us has ever done one of the CK classes. I wanted to try one out last year on MG but they all booked up super fast and I missed the boat. It came down to this one or the BBQ one, and doing BBQ in an hour just seemed sacreligious to me, so Pasta it is!

 

We just got off Jubilee yesterday and did the pasta class.  It was so fun!  I think you picked a good one.  On another note, I always plan to book another cruise as soon as I get off one---I have been leaning toward Celebration with this same itenerary (with addition of Celebration Key. )  I can't wait to follow your adventures!  Have fun!

Things are a little weird this morning.  I had to prove that I was human!  Twice!! 😖
