Good morning from Mardi Gras I slept like a baby, Time I get dressed and go to sea day brunch. I mean who goes to Lido on a sea day for breakfast lol. 

 

Definitely me - breakfast burrito from Blue Iguana and/or chicken tenders from Big Chicken.

Carnival isn’t the only one struggling to find workers, Katie has told me they are short handed onboard as well.

My social anxiety is off the charts they stuck me in the middle of the restaurant it feels like 

I’m about to take my first-ever solo cruise (normally with husband and kids). Do you eat dinner at an assigned time, or anytime? And do you request to eat with others?

 

I haven’t quite decided what to do yet.

Anytime on MG so I can eat at the free speciality restaurants. And well anytime is usually just your party? But I have found a couple friends that I am eating with now. I don’t mind eating alone as long as I am off to the side and not in the middle.

I am a sucker for the Greatest showman….. So when I saw they had a show for it I had to stop in and see it.

Also they installed lights under all those ledge steps people were tripping on @KmomChicago

Thanks, I wondered how long they’d leave that situation as it was. I’ve also noticed people don’t mention it about the Limelight anymore.

Late night Comedy and a drink probably heading to bed Afterwards I am so so so so excited for tomorrow and the ship meet up

[TNcruising02]

I am following along.  My week on the Mardi Gras was wonderful.  I hope you have a great time.  Even though they have the lights on the steps, I have seen people trip over them in the Limelight Lounge and the mid show area.  

Thanks for posting all of those pictures and virtually taking us on your cruise.  Have a blast!

I say good night with my first Towel animal, also I still haven’t met my Cabin steward?

Those steps in the Mardi Gras theater really mess with my eyes. I trip about every other step. It looks like the step is where the lights are but it’s 6 inches beyond. Lol I trip down and up them.

They really need to think about this with the rest of the Excel class as they build. I don't have the answer but this ain't it. No matter how well you light it, people drink, ya know? And even for those who don't, people don't look down at their feet every step they take, they primarily look ahead of them, and even more so when there are shiny objects all over to distract them from: the floor. It's a flaw, no other word for it.

We loved Bolt! We were on MG in August and it was 1 time around. I read somewhere on here that it is 2 times around now? Is that true?

Thank goodness! I was a victim of the hidden step in August even though I knew ahead of time that it was there!

John just announced  that at approximately 4pm the ships will start to form a V formation with Mardi Gras at the front. And after we do the Shiptok the captain will pivot on he ship 360 so we can see all the other ships and then he will put the bow towards the other ships and horn wars will commence
