Have cake decorating this morning. Let you know how it goes.

The ones in front at potato stix. Crunchy potato sticks you can put on burger for crunchy texture, like potato chips on a sandwich

Random photos, including a door I saw…. Had a Guy’s Burger for lunch and beignets for bed time. The beignets are good and if anyone from Carnival is listening, you should set up the breakfast area for late night coffee and beignets, keep it open til like 1am for the late night party people who need something before bed. Lost $$ opportunity. Casino is still hopping. I am not one believes in schemes or theories on slot machines, but these do seem to only be really good if the place is super busy and you play/wager somewhere in the middle. Not the lowest and not the high dollar wagers…. Something like .02 with the middle wager, say it’s 180 credits…somewhere in that area seems their zone. No promises, no guarantees and you may have to play awhile to get it to go, but that’s been my experience. Five miles today total.

Yes, so we can finally experience it all. Like you can’t do Disney in a day, you can’t do this ship in a week.

On Celebration now (it’ll be the same) and only news is CBS’s CBSN which is all prepackaged news stories. Nothing live.

We left two hours late. We were snoozing, but heard the announcement at 3:30 that we’d be departing a half hour or so late due to a medical emergency and they were getting that persons belongings, etc…

I was in a seat. Good pic trick, put on wide angle, upside down and low.

No ma’m, just resting it for a bit once done. Basically, nice nap and a shower and it’s ok. to be perfect honest, the bigger issue is stamina. Just get tired. Got in 4 miles on shore in St Thomas. Once again, I’d like to apologize if I seem negative in any way, we love the ship and are having a good time, just notice little things. Like trash cans in public areas, hard to find. You’d think they’d be next to elevators and doors to the inside/outside, negative. Very odd. Also many elevator spaces have a long blank wall, no reason there can’t be a bench or similar for people waiting for the elevator, especially elderly folks.

Random St Thomas shopping area pics and one of my tired knee.

It was. Was it worth a 3 hour walk up and down hills and stairs for that be the only end reward (and a mojito)? Nah moving on…. FYI - the walk from the ship to main shopping area is 2 miles of flat ground. Not hard, but hot and humid, for those of you not used to it. They have funny soda cans. photo stop

Morning from Charlotte Amalie. Couple pics for you. We have found this balcony configuration offers best space. Lot of walking yesterday. Whew 😥 an FYI sign

Dinner and a show. Dinner at Cuchina de Capitano

Quick review of the tour, EXHAUSTING. Said medium activity, a few folks were getting really tired because we never really stopped until we got to lunch. One food stop, that’s it. Last tour we did here, we did mojito and rum lessons early, then went for fruit helados (ice cream) and then we went to a coffee place and finished at the mofungo. This was generally just a lot of walking. Would I do it again? Not this one. Love food tours, this was more walking tour. Well over 3 miles with lots of elevation changes, hills and stairs. But, I gutted it out and survived (and took a nappy when I got back) Better way to explain it, it was a walking tour with a mojito and mofungo at the end. The mofungo was excellent, BTW. Yuca, tons of garlic and fine cilantro and some really nice slow cooked chicken in sauce and you mixed/mushed together

Got a new neighbor while out. Smashing up yuca for the mofungo. Was very good.

This walking tour is exhausting. Now it’s mojito and mofungo time.

Don’t know why it’s upside down. Stunt city.

Just started to shower as we arrived…Therefore, it’s officially been declared it a “HIGH HUMIDITY DAY” All hair shall be frizzed. Don’t fight it. here’s our port mate….an old RCCL tub. Makes us look bad. Hurts neighborhood values.

Morning from San Juanita. LOL,, kidding Also, the big reveal of the Carnival Kitchen Spatula.

Hidden Mickey

I have my own, thank you. Only mentioning for others in the future. Tomorrow is San Juan. This is the plan, will let you know how it goes. 3 miles today and 8 flights of stairs (so says the app, liar!)

No joke, a woman has a small French bulldog named Olaf as a “service dog” I asked where it did it’s business and she said they have spaces in the crew areas.

I paid them to make my own pizza how bout that?

Pizza class! Fun time. It’s all from scratch, even the dough. You follow along and at the end, they take all the pies and bake them elsewhere. Then we feast.
