ANOTHER (just what you wanted) Mardi Gras LIVE 11/06-11/13

[adam3313]

Hope you're enjoying the trip, and thanks for the live review!

 

I saw earlier you were in the piano bar?  How was the entertainer in there?  I sail in a few weeks, and like to spend time in there, but haven't seen any reviews of the PBE.

Speaking of main gripes… get ready for a SHOCKER! My favorite cruise drink is the Blue’s patron margarita and because there isn’t a tequila bar, I can’t get it on MG. Totally screwed the margarita challenge. 

It's made with Patron Silver tequila, Patron Citronage and lime juice.  They certainly have to have those ingredients on board.

The app is jacked y’all! I’m not going to Chibang at 11:30! 
thanks for the notification though Hub! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Don't you realize...you need to read between the lines...you have a personal show with Percy Crews 2 at Chibang @ 1130.  He knew you missed his general show and he wanted to make it up to you.

Sorry to jump around. Wanted to get all the details in there that I grabbed today. And now you should be caught up. 
back to real LIVE action… blackberry bourbon fizz, a drink DH did NOT like and back to beer. 🤦🏼‍♀️ And the Backyard Band at P&A. 

Pedro, Gustavo, Ron and Julian . . . .   🥰

Thank you so much for the casino pics! I recognize a lot but there's definitely a couple new machines where I can waste money/time lol

How many disposable masks should we bring for 7 nights- 4 people?

I'd say that depends on how frequently you change them. People at my work seem to change there's about once per month whereas my ex wife changes hers every 2 hours.

Ever since @Saint Greg said he grew his hair out, I imagine it looks like this lead singers hair. 

 

Nah it was really short before and it's normal now. Side and back went from a 1 to a 3 for anyone who knows clippers. The change to the hair on the top of my head is more dramatic where it used to stand straight up and now it lays down. It's enough of a change that Mardi Gras didn't use my passport photo like every other ship has since I got it renewed in 2018.

@Saint Gregknow clipper size well cut my sweetie's with #2 as he likes it short in the heat of the winter desert and summers.  His hair grows like weeds whereas mine is slow as a turtle!

Thank you for sharing such a great and informative review!

Could not get logged in last night! Catch up…Had a few more cocktails. Got to 13. Saw Just June again at pizza and we talked about all the things. She is really the best.

Welcome to Our last sea day! 😐 Slept in a little,  Got up and went to the gym. I’m not a huge treadmill fan and I really don’t like these. I don’t think I should have to read the owner’s manual to work it. I shouldn’t have to enter all my personal information to run. Just put a quick start button it and let’s go. 

[MeganGC1983]

We had  a few minutes without power, and I guess Mike Pack had to go plug the ship back in because he was just coming back to The Wave when I passed by after the gym. 

And when I got to the cabin, Stewart had left out priority luggage tags. We will be switching those out. I’m not about that 7:30 debark life.

Mike Mac is really good. The big problem is there isn’t enough room. There is always a line.

At least Carnival got smart and started putting the plugs above the waterline with the start of the Dream Class ships.  When Farcus designed all of the previous ships, the plug was under the waterline, so scuba gear was needed. 🤿

Happy Veteran’s Day and thank you to all who have served. It’s a standing room only event at the MG theatre and Mike Pack says it’s the largest one he’s seen. Impressive and emotional. Appreciation was shown for everyone including the newly added Space Force. 

[MeganGC1983]

And now Emeril’s… here’s the menus

[MeganGC1983]

The market price selections and my wine. 😆 

There’s 5 other tables eating right now, so I guess the word is out. This is the busiest I’ve seen this place the whole cruise. 

[MeganGC1983]

Service is pretty good. Food came hot and pretty quickly. Good flavor. Ordered gumbo, the meat pies…by now you should all know I can’t say no to savory pastry items… and a po boy. Gumbo came out first with a potato salad. Meat pies are better than the empanadas at Java Blue. 

[MeganGC1983]

Ran up to Pixels to grab our pins. Long line at Guest Services. Kiosks full too.  Debarkation tags are not out yet. Got the picture prices that someone asked for and PINS. 

[MeganGC1983]

Up to 18, it’s raining but lots of playing going on. 2 kids playing in the splash pad and 10 or more adults riding the water slides. The Lido isn’t that busy minus the hot tub soup brewing. 

[MeganGC1983]

I have a Bolt ticket. And it’s now pouring. And it also just got stuck. I’m hoping in the next 41 minutes it quits raining or the shut it down for weather and I can rebook. The people stuck seem okay, and 3 staff member are immediately here. 

[MeganGC1983]

Good news, the rain has stopped. 
Bad news, it’s been stuck for 15 minutes. The people are NOT so great anymore. 

[MeganGC1983]

I’ve been canceled, refunded and rebooked. Try again later.
