floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #28 Share Posted December 21, 2009 OK after the CC M&G it was time to head to the main show lounge for the Bloggers Welcome Aboard party with John...more fun and lots of free drinks flowing, this is not for the faint of heart lol...and we see that we haven't sailed yet, as sailaway was delayed with the HUGE amount of tractor trailers lined up to load stuff on board....the ship had sailed in empty from NY that morning... John introduced his amazing team and we had visits from CD Todd and Captain Carlos Quierolo, it was a wonderful welcome. I encourage anyone to take a Bloggers cruise, very special indeed!!! This was my second Bloggers, and it felt like seeing old friends... John welcoming us all back... One of the amazing Stephanies, who is now heading to CD her own ship...dang forgot which ship, somebody help!! Welcome aboard from the Captain... And Todd, who was one of the most visible CD's ever!! These guys have a lot of fun together, and love giving us a special time on their ships...it's contagious!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted December 21, 2009 #29 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Floatie: It was a pleasure to meet you during the Carnival Dream sailing. You're a bundle of energy who certainly knows how to experience the fun in a cruise vacation!! :) Tom-n-Cheryl will be in cabin 6492 next Thanksgiving, so I'm certain they'll enjoy seeing your extra photos as well. Take care, and I hope we cross cruise paths again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #30 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Back up to Lido in time for more shenanigans, and saying buh-bye to PC for nine days WOOHOOO!!!!! I have NO idea what time this is, someone else will have to chime in.... On the big screen was Ray Charles singing the best version of America the Beautiful evah!! I needed tissues!! Now Freddy was in full swing and tends to attract a lot of new friends fast... This is our new friend Anthony, and this guy could dance!! I do believe he is wearing Smoofie's new thong-hat too...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #32 Share Posted December 21, 2009 One more Lido thing that dropped my jaw before dinner and then I have to go and get ready for work tomorrow, dang it! We had late seating, we LOVE late seating, means no rushing, and I do like to have assigned table and servers, it's part of what I look forward to... Around 7PM, Lido music started building and you knew something different was happening... WOW, I enjoyed this, it's the new laser shows, and tonight was a preview of main shows later in the week. I was scrambling for my camera and did a crappy job doing it justice:o....Do not miss!! See yas tomorrow, sweet dreams!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #42 Share Posted December 21, 2009 After the laser preview, it was time to get ready to go dinner, and get to the Scarlett DR lower. Thanks to the fabulous Ken, we knew we loved our table already... I love the Carnival dining rooms, every one I have seen. This one tops them all, it is stunning to walk in, and take in the color and design details...especially the chandeliers, and the bongo wood thingys that surround the room....I loved it... See the bongo wood thingys? I meant to get a close up and I forgot... The MDR is also one of the funnest places on board, and this was no exception! It's a nightly party!!

floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #43 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Dinner was great, and the soups and appetizers were outstanding. There was a tilapia dish on the menu tonight that some didn't care for, I think it was the only time in the whole trip we weren't all happy happy with the food. I had the ribs, mmmmm!!! I had a lot of fun taking pics of our plates on this trip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #44 Share Posted December 21, 2009 After dinner, it was time to get to the Piano Bar for Damian's first night performing...now the routine is usually...MDR dinner, piano bar till close, disco dancing, Lido pizza at 4:p...but not tonight, I was well done toast:eek: shortly after dinner tonight, so I went for a short song and called it a day, and what a loooong lovely day it was!!! Did I tell yas I loved our cabin on Deck 6 aft? Easy to head up from all the action on Deck 5 when you're ready:D I realized when I got up there that I hadn't unpacked, hadn't checked out the cabin, and hadn't yet stepped foot on our balcony!!!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted December 21, 2009 Author #46 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well unpacking tonight wasn't happening, so I checked out the cabin and went to bed, the morning would bring us the first of TWO sea days before we arrive at our first port:D The cabins are pretty much the standard, all shiny and new of course...plenty of room and good bathroom storage, roomy shelves on each side...and I loved the retro touch of the pic in the bath, a sign of things to come... Oh and some new goodies in the bath basket, including a great conditioner by Garnier that I am now buying:cool: But this was the most fun, our first Platinum treat!!
