Seven seas navigator looking like a toy boat next to Seascape. I bet it's amazing though. Probably too stuffy, but amazing. PR from the other side, regal princess just off camera.

I bring straws too. I can tolerate the candy straws but for the drinks that dont come with straws I have mine.

Those storm clouds off in the distance all day are starting to roll in.

Twilight zone.

Just ordered from a roaming server. He said he'd make sure he brought one every 5 minutes. I hope he was kidding I am not trying to max out cheers again. Not much alcohol in these frozen drinks but enough sugar to induce a diabetic coma for sure.

I'm about 10 years behind you 😆

Tahitian kiss. Just like a kiss on the lips but they add hibiscus syrup. Got the last day bed just above Lido. Setteled in to catch up on my reading. What better to read on a cruise, than someone else's review of their cruise 🛳. Missed a number of good ones.

I'd love to see more 90s parties. Most of the time I've seen it offered is on the last night very late when I'm already in bed dreading the 6am wake up time. 2000s would be even better but I guess we won't see that until I'm in my 50's? It's before my time but I do enjoy the 80s parties especially the one royal puts on in their Promenade. An absolute blast. The one I'm ready to see retired is the 70s. I've had enough disco to last a lifetime 😆.

Chicken and biscuit. Pretty good. The biscuit was a little dry but not terrible and honestly I've never had a biscuit on a cruise ship that rates higher than terrible until now. Praline Gelato.

Good morning from San Juan. If there was one port I was going to go explore it would be this one it I will probably stay and enjoy am empty ship again. Off to find some coffee and food.

There is an 80s deck party and late night comedy showcase tonight but I'm too pooped to party. Back in the room getting ready for bed. Good night everyone.

I'm not a big show guy so take what I say with a grain of salt. There was a lot of talent on the stage and some aerial stunts I've never seen in a carnival show before. But the seating is just not comfortable enough for it to be enjoyable to sit that long for that show. I'm not saying you have to show up as early as I did, but you are definitely not striving in last minute. I wanted to see celestial strings since it's one of my favorite playlist productions but I think I'm going to skip it instead of trying to find somewhere comfortable to sit for almost an hour before the show begins.

There are a lot of Carnival shoreside employees onboard. I was sat two inches away from a group of them at dinner. It was interesting hearing so many of the same complaints from then. Some of the gems I heard while listening and pretending to be on my phone: Food portion sizes Elimination of the specials at guys bbq Slow dinner service Steward that shows up when he feels like it usually when they go to take a nap after being out of the room all morning One of their bosses warned him to not eat at chibang the food was terrible One left early to put down reserved signs for the show since it was clear we were not getting out before seating opened. It's interesting to me that the beards know what they are doing to their product.

Dinner was slooooooow. After it took am hour for the entrées to arrive I asked if I could go ahead and get my dessert. Arancini Meatball Pasta carbonara. I didn't get a picture of the short rib. It was better with the sauce that comes with it but still a little dry. I took dessert back to the room for later.

I got here 50 minutes early right as the roped off area up front was opened. I was starting to think I wasn't going to make it. Got some drinks ready to go. I'm hoping I picked a good spot for good views.

Another. Service is again terrible. At least drink service is quick.

St.michele brut rose.

Actual wait time was about 2 minutes.

It's the sticker that makes a difference. My card is stickered now and my can of truly was popped open.

Screen says 40-50 wait for cucina app says 20-30 so I guess it doesn't update in real time. Gonna go ahead and put in a request for a table at cucina.

Comedy starts in 50 minutes and there are 5 people in line already. It fills up sometimes bit that is unnecessary. Under the big top starts in 35 minutes and looks like the good seats are all taken. I want to catch the next show I'll make sure I'm at least an hour early. There were already two showings yesterday, these are encore performances.

I finally get up the will power to hit the gym. Baby shark comes on the overhead music. Why?

I'm failing at going to the gym again this cruise. Going to head there now and probably hit the sauna as well.

Let me know when will be good to come over to verify your Jambalaya claims 😅

Kicked up island delight because it was so good yesterday.
