gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #801 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Look at that almost empty, like I have said before. I think they are purposely built that way, so people get out of them quickly. I tried filling the bucket, but the hose seemed to be broken. Neat toy though, well if it worked. Here is the other side of serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #802 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just look how nice it is under the shade in the kids pool. It is also pretty aerodynamic, it can be done. I headed back down, and they had an ice sculpture demonstration. Someone made a comment that he thought it would done with a chainsaw instead.

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #803 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I spotted my uncle on the other side filming the entire thing. It was so hot out there, I did not last much out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #804 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I made into the buffet to see what options they had. There was actually a really tasty wonton soup that I was dying to try, but as you can imagine the line went all the way to the door. No way! I was not getting into that line, not even if you paid me to do so! I decided to wait for peak time to pass and maybe the line would get shorter. I never got to try the soup :(, the line never got shorter. A semi-frustrated Gambee kept on moving =p The Chocolate buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #806 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I went back to our table, with nothing in my hands. I guess I was still full from brunch, and nothing other than the soup calling my name. I told my aunts that they had a chocolate buffet. So they decided to go check it out. They had dessert sushi, which by the way was horrible! Everything else was good, well they ate most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #807 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mom went and got some food. I went to check the pizza line, but again, it was too long for my liking. I think the boy's position says it all. So decided to head downstairs to change the batteries on my camera. On the way down. There is a little coffee shop in the buffet.

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #808 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I swapped batteries, and relaxed for a few minutes on my peaceful retreat. After some time had passed, I decided to go back upstairs, and check on everyone. Once I got there, I found them enjoying themselves on the jacuzzi. I also had a low blow when I found out that my aunt had gone on the 30 minute line to get me a wonton soup. But my uncle got there before me and ate it all. And yes, it was just like I had expected it, very tasty… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #809 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I never found out what this was, it looked like a ship, but it was dipping forward. (The sensor was way dirty!) I resigned myself to wait until dinner, I was not particularly hungry, and nothing in the buffet itself called my name. So I went in the water with them. Once I went in the water, one of my aunts got out of the water. She said she had to go shower or something. I did not make much of it. We just relaxed there for half an hour or so, maybe longer. And lo and behold my aunt re-appeared with these! It was so nice of her to do this for me. Please Note that she does not know one word in english. So she had to ask for help and everything. I was elated with the gesture. None-the-less, I shared with everyone. Mom enjoying herself, I am not really sure what we are going to do once we sail on other lines. We have been completely spoiled with the inexpensive wifi. The large family next to us was playing UNO, I think time I will bring a deck with me.

sunnywithachance Posted August 25, 2015 #810 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Love seeing your family, obvious how much you all care for each other, and that you are having a great time together. And I have to agree with everyone else, you are cute :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #811 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Now here is a story for you. The table behind us had 3 couples. Nice people. Anyway, the 3 wives left for a walk, or something. They must of been gone for about 15 minutes when a Brazilian chick comes over and starts flirting with them and asking her to take her pictures, etc. The event climbed to taking pictures of her kissing the guys. They tried pushing her away, but she could care less. It is quite obvious that she was quite drunk. As a matter of fact, she later asked me to take a picture of her, I think it was in the MDR or something. She was asking everyone to take pictures of her. So, long story short, her phone had their kryptonite in it. Because she came back when their wives had come back, and those guys were petrified. The look in their faces was priceless. But in all honesty, it was not their fault. This is when she came back, and the mother of one of the guys was there :eek: Then she started flirting again, and this time she asked the guy’s wife to take the picture of her. Can you imagine? With the same phone!!! They guy almost had a heart attack! Thank God, nothing happened and she moved on. But not before talking with one of the guy’s mother and calling her mother in law. Um, yeah, she was plastered! There she is behind me. She went as far as asking people in the jacuzzi to take pictures of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #812 Share Posted August 25, 2015 By the way, do you remember when I dropped my Juliets in San Juan last year and messed the lens. Well, for this cruise I had bought a new set of polarized lens, they looked so hot in that frame. I guess the cruise is not complete until I mess up another expensive pair of lens!!!! Grrrrr, I was so mad! This time I messed them up with the viewfinder of the Camera. I guess since I never took them off, and I used the viewfinder so often due to the sun being so bright during the entire cruise (not a bad thing), did the trick. Only one side got messed up, I guess I have an extra lens just in case something happens. Still very frustrating. I guess I still have the frame… We saw land the entire way. It was a little late in the afternoon and we decided to go to the room to cool down, and get ready for dinner. On the way to the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted August 25, 2015 #815 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Carnival should do the "Ice Bucket Challenge". This would be great for that! Great photos again. Loving this review. Really making me anxious for our next cruise. But, we are going north to Canada/New England for the fall foliage. We will be going to the Caribbean in Dec. Gotta see that turquoise water again. We will have an aft balcony for that cruise. Can't wait. Keep up the great review. I really hate to see it end. :( Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #816 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My uncle and I wanted to try the water slide, but we decided until the line died down a little. The slide closes at sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #819 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) We put some tunes on, and relaxed for a little while. My uncle trying to turn the ship around =) Also took a few funny pictures. And then cheers was in order! Since we did not have enough glasses, we used the ice cream cups. Please don’t ask me why we had those cups in the first place :confused:, because I have no idea why they were there. Fun times indeed.

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #820 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Some more funny pictures were in order, we were sending all these to the family. OMG LoL, fun times. Then I convinced my uncle to wear the mask and act like a horse on the Lido deck. Granted, it did not take much convincing to get him to do it :D It went ok, but people aboard this sailing were not as fun as the Breeze ones. This mask on the Breeze would have killed. A few people did enjoy the mask, but most like looked at us like (fill in the blank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #821 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Try looking at the other cruiser expressions. Here he is greeting the people at the end of the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #822 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I guess he was looking at how high the slide was. By the way, you can’t see crap out of that mask. I am not sure how he managed to walk for so long, and go up the stairs. The guy there seemed to be enjoying my uncle shenanigans, life is short, we have to make the most of it!

gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #823 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) We went up to the slide, the line gone by then. This one came out great. I can guarantee you this is a new one for Carnival! The kids expression was pretty much 70% of the ships expression. Come on, there is a horse on a ship!!! Well, what the ..., at least we had a blast, and in the end that is all that matters =) Edited August 25, 2015 by gambee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #824 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) My uncle frustrated with the lack of laughs, kidding, he could not see much anyway. He actually asked us how everyone reacted. We did get a few good laughs, I think most people fear the unknown ;) Good times, we sure loved it. With a little hesitation, my uncle agreed to go on the slide with me. His main concern was that we saw some adults hit them selves hard upon arrival at the end of the slide. I think it was mainly because they gained too much speed and then opened up in the last segment. To my surprise the GoPro was allowed on the slide. NCL, Disney would not dream of allowing me to carry one. Edited August 25, 2015 by gambee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted August 25, 2015 Author #825 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The shirt prevented him from gaining that speed that he feared. So he was quite happy about it. That picture came out great! It was my turn next. I will admit that the slide is much more fun that I expected to be. You can gain some good speed and curves are a lot of fun. I was not expecting this at all. I was trying to keep the stick steady. Not that is was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
