ZoeyVictoria Posted November 27, 2021 #326 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I enjoyed a chicken sandwich at Shaq’s for embarkation lunch because the chicken and fries were great, plus there is outdoor seating there, just in front of the infinity pool with the aft view. It was just different enough from other ships to be a hint of the features of the MG, a good start to the cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgags Posted November 27, 2021 #327 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Sid I agree with you on the Escape! Great ship! It will be my 4th cruise on her in Feb! I looked up Preacher Bar and Fish Lips Bar! I know where I'll be eating and drinking! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardi Gras, Casino Gambling Boat and a freighter offloading cargo, all in the same vicinity. Make sure you get on the right one. Although, that cargo ship is headed to Marrakesh. Be an interesting journey. Can’t miss Mardi Gras, it’s on the end all by itself and it stands out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #329 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm showered and pretty much ready to roll out right now... Only, my check in time isn't until 11:00, so I've got a little more time to kill. I'll probably walk down to the Racetrack and buy a bottle of water to begin hydrating for the day... Next stop: the Carnival Mardi Gras!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #330 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm going to pound a couple of cups of Liquid IV, and pretty soon I'll be summoning an Uber. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #331 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Plans once on board: purchase Cheers and premium WiFi plan. Find Shaq's Big Chicken for some lunch. Once rooms are ready: unpack and get the party started!... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Escape is my favorite as well. Have a great cruise on the Mardi Gras. She looks amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spif Barwunkel Posted November 27, 2021 #333 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) We will be boarding Mardi Gras next Saturday, 12/4, between 12:00 - 12:30. Assuming that Uber gets you to the right vessel, how painless was the boarding process? Seems there are good times and bad from previous reports. Hopefully, your experience is a pleasant one. Just a quick mention would be appreciated. Edited November 27, 2021 by Spif Barwunkel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #335 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There are two huge bus's out front loading luggage and cruise passengers... I could probably save a few bucks by going that route, but I hate having my bags chucked and piled into the cargo bay. An Uber will set me back a bit more, but I'll enjoy it rather than be herded like cattle. I'll save the cattle herding for when I arrive... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #336 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I've got my secret mask locked and loaded for today... I carved out the inner liner, so I can totally breathe without any restrictions. I could probably blow out birthday candles while wearing this... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #337 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I looked at the clock in the room and it said 10:46, so I grabbed my stuff and ran out. When I got downstairs and opened my phone, it was really 10:22, so false alarm. I'm locked out now, because I left my hotel keys inside. I guess that I'm just going to head on over there a little bit early... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #339 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The Uber showed up in less than one minute, and now I'm already checked in and awaiting boarding group B5. A1 is boarding now. Quickest check in ever! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #342 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There's nothing else like embarkation day... People will push an old lady out of the way to get on the ship one minute before someone else... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #343 Share Posted November 27, 2021 So far, everything seems to be going smoothly. Each time they call a boarding group, there's a madcap lurch towards the tunnel, but I haven't seen a fight break out yet... Yet... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted November 27, 2021 Author #344 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Each time they call a group, I move ten feet closer to the tunnel. By the time they call B5 I should be at the entrance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like the speakers were outside or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
