Our Beautiful Breeze cruise (with pics) 8/15/15

[Jamman54]

Right next door to Circle “C” was the Thrill Theater. We had planned to check this out, but we never did…..

 

 

The screen on the box office displays the shows for each day in rotation…..

 

 

Here is the paper version of the entire Thrill Theater schedule…..

 

 

Right next door is the Deck 4 Fun Hub. We chose the Premium Plan as we wanted to see how fast their best plan really was. Don’t know if it was worth it, as the speed was just a tad faster than dial up. I wonder how slow the Value Plan was?

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Continuing on Deck 4, heading toward the Atrium, is the Pixels Photo Gallery…..

 

 

 

Down one deck to Deck3, you will find Guest Services…..

 

 

The Fun Hub in the lobby…..

 

 

This is the Shore Excursion desk and their schedule for this itinerary….

 

 

 

To be continued…..

I made my way forward to the Ovation Theater, where I snuck up on Patti as she was playing bingo…..

 

 

 

She never saw me, and told me later that she hadn’t won. I then took the Atrium elevator up to Deck 12, and went out on the open decks. Here we are looking down on the Beach Pool from Deck 12…..

 

 

Looking aft, towards Sports Square…..

 

 

At this point there is only a short line to use the slides…..

 

 

I made my way up to Deck 14 to see how crowded Serenity was…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here on the starboard side, there are a few loungers to be had…..

 

 

There’s plenty of room at the Serenity Bar though…..

 

 

This is the starboard side hot tub…..

 

 

I stopped to have a beer at the Serenity Bar. This was my view looking aft…..

 

 

Looking at the Carnival Waterworks from Deck 14…..

 

 

Looking aft from Deck 14…..

Here is the entrance to the slides and the height requirements…..

 

 

 

Here’s another view of the Beach Pool…..

 

 

The Blue Iguana Tequila Bar…..

 

 

The Red Frog Rum Bar…..

 

 

The bottom of the Drainpipe and Twister water slides…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Carnival Waterworks and the slides are getting busier…..

 

 

The Sky Course is open…..

 

 

Sports Square is not that busy yet…..

 

 

A volleyball game is going on in the Sports Court as a group of spectators looks on…..

 

 

 

The workout area is getting a little use…..

 

 

To be continued…..

The Tides Pool and hot tubs…..

 

 

 

 

Looking at the wake of the Carnival Breeze….

 

 

I’m so tired from taking pictures, so I head down to the Tides Bar, where for the next hour or so my friend Theodoro keeps me supplied with Coronas. Lol…..

Enjoying your review so far. Thanks for taking the time! :D

The pools don't look that crowded. I'm sailing on the Conquest in a few short weeks and keep reading about how crowded the pools are. Were these pictures taken before everyone was awake or something?

The photos in this latest segment were taken around 10-10:30am.

We're sailing on Breeze Oct 10, I am really impressed with your review and photos, and must say I am getting impatient to be on board. The ship looks amazing so far and I'm really looking forward to your port activities and excursions. Anxiously awaiting your next post, keep up the great work.

Your pictures are beautiful. Stowing away for the rest of the cruise [emoji568]

It was now 12:30pm and time for the first blackjack tournament of the cruise. After going to the casino cage and getting my BOGO tournament entries, I sat down at the table to see if I would be able to qualify for the finals…..

 

 

 

We’re up to hand 3 out of 7 hands, so it’s time to make my move…..

 

 

My 18 is good so it’s time to double up…..

 

 

We’re up to hand 5 and my 18 is a winner….

 

 

Got to double up again for hand 6…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

My 19 is a winner once again!!!

 

 

Going into the 7th and final hand, I now have 6,000 in chips. From experience, I know that this total would be on the “bubble” as to whether or not I will qualify for the final table, so what the heck, I go all in for the last hand…..

 

 

 

My 20 beats the dealers 18, so I wind up with 12,000 in chips…..

 

 

 

Right now I’m at the top of the leader board with a total that should qualify for the final table. We’ll check back later and see if it holds up…..
