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...

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!!

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...

I forget which Stephanie that is, but Stephanie Meads will be a temp CD of Splendor when Goose goes on vacation.

 

About (but not exactly) the same time Jaime is covering for Kirk on Pride.

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!!

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...

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:

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!!
