Go Patriots. I would try to go to the game but, I tested Postive for Covid. Had the Negative test before boarding.

Hoping you have a quick recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Barb! That's why we were so worried about our onboard testing for the Canada leg.

As Patti left the Frog & Onion, she spotted this cat just hanging out. This cat has the life, especially with all those plump chickens running around!

Day # 6  -  9/2/22  -  Fun Day at Sea # 3. 

 

We were up at 7 am to a mostly sunny day. The temperature was 81 degrees, and the seas are fairly calm. Here is our view looking forward and aft as the Carnival Legend makes her way back to Baltimore…..

 

 

 

Here are today’s “Fun Times”…….

 

 

 

Here are the invites to the VIFP party later today…..

 

 

 

Around 8:30 am we made our way up to the Lido for some breakfast. Afterwards, we came back to the cabin for a while. We completed our ArriveCan for the next leg of our cruise, and then I spent some time working on our pictures. Patti took this opportunity to sit out on the balcony for a while, as it was very nice out there…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti was the first to leave the cabin, as she wanted to check out the shops, and get to the early bird bingo card sales.

 

Around 11 am I went to play blackjack for a little while, losing about $100. I then went to the Casino Bar and had a drink with Angela, before heading up to Chopsticks for a plate.

 

Patti made it up to the Lido for the Groove for St. Jude…….

 

 

 

 

DJ OJ was spinning the tunes…..

 

 

Patti then made her way to the Follies Theater, passing the forward Camelot Pool and hot tub on the way…..

 

 

 

Patti made it to Follies in time to see the Magic Mystery Show with Suraj, Carnival’s table magician. She said that the show was very good……

 

 

 

 

 

Immediately after was the Q & A with Cruise Director Gabe…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

I made it down to the Follies Theater in time to meet Patti for the last bingo session of this cruise, which culminated with the $5,000 coverall jackpot game……

 

 

 

We weren’t even close! We went back to the cabin to relax a bit before the VIFP Party. The seas were now very calm…..

 

 

 

The VIFP Party was at 4:45 pm in the Firebird Lounge……

 

 

 

 

 

Darren Scott was playing the acoustic guitar for us…..

 

 

 

Our girl Angela was watching over the beer tub…….

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

There were no snacks, and none of the guessing games, but the drinks were flowing smoothly. We hung out with our CC friends Wanda and Joe.

 

They played the ships video, and it has been updated to include the newest members of the fleet…..

 

 

 

Cruise Director Gabe then introduced the Senior Staff that were allowed to attend this function…..

 

 

 

They posed with the lady with the plaque, who had over 700 days sailing with Carnival…..

 

 

Hotel Director Paul Heslop addresses the gathering…..

 

 

 

The party lasted an hour, and many left with extra drinks in hand!

 

Patti and I decide to head over to Bonsai Sushi for dinner…..

Is that his real name or just due to his likeness to a young OJ? 😁😁

[ShakyBeef]

Jamman, how was the wandering drink waiter service at the P&D party?  Did you happen to notice if they were taking cocktail orders and what kind of time it took to get them?  DH will be fine with a beer from the bucket, but I'd like a cocktail if possible, and my DDs are under 21, so I was hoping they could get Shirely Temples, or something similar.  We've done this at past P&D parties, but with staffing shortages, I don't know if I can expect that anymore.  Thanks!

[Jamman54]

I’ve got my beer, so I’m happy……

 

 

The amuse bouche were these beans. They were very good…..

 

 

For her starters, Patti had a side salad, and the miso soup……

 

 

 

 

For my starter, I had the Kakuni……

 

 

For her main, Patti had the Bento box, and I had the Bang Bang Bonsai Rolls…..

 

 

 

For dessert, we both had the green tea cupcakes…..

Oh, wow, I didn't notice that!  He does look a little bit like young OJ.

[MeganGC1983]

Those beans are edamame. 😆

[Jamman54]

Before we left, Patti got some Bonsai Sushi views……

 

 

 

 

 

Patti decided to head back to the cabin, and I went to the Lobby Bar for a drink with Ramil. I watched a set of variety music with Katherine and Marcus…..

 

 

 

 

I then went over to the Sports Bar where they had the Yankee game on. At 8 pm, I made my way over to the Punchliner for the 8:30 pm “R” rated Matt Sadler show. I got my usual seat back at the bar. Not only is it a good seat like I mentioned before, but it also gave me an opportunity to talk with the performers and hosts before the show. I was talking with Matt before the show, and the name Greg came up, so I said Saint Greg? He said Yes! I could only laugh! 

 

Here is Comedy Host Kate introducing the show. This is her last night as Comedy Club Host, as next cruise she will be the Bingo Host. I asked her if that was a promotion. She said, “not really”.

 

 

 

Here is Matt Sadler on stage…….

 

 

 

He was very good. I gave him a 9 out of 10. To get a 10 from me I have to pee my pants!   Afterwards, I went back to the Sports Bar to watch the end of the Yankee game, and then back to the cabin for the night. Here is tonight’s towel animal…..

 

 

Coming up next: Turnaround day, the adventure continues!

Not many DJ's use their real names.

Waiter service was plentiful and great. I find that slipping a few bucks gets you what you want, and as many as you want.

We always do tip extra cash, but I didn't know if we'd even get the chance to get an order in.  So glad to hear it!  Thank you!

Ohhh @Saint Greg getting comedian love.

Day # 7  -  9/3/22  -  Turnaround Day! 

 

We were up at 6 am as we are sailing in the Chesapeake Bay heading for Baltimore. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Here’s the view from our balcony looking forward and aft…..

 

 

 

 

 

We sailed under the Chesapeake Bay Bridges at 6:40 am…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

A little over an hour later we were sailing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are almost back in Baltimore……

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

The Carnival Legend was docked back in Baltimore at 8:30 am. I am reposting our B2B information here……

 

 

We don’t meet at the Alchemy Bar until 11 am, so we have some time to kill. First, we are going to head up to the Lido for some breakfast. Around 9:15 they begin debarking those who are doing self-assist. They are doing it by deck number. Patti and I head down to the Lobby to watch our old fellow passengers debark from the ship……

 

 

 

Gabe is down there directing traffic…….

 

 

We head up onto the open decks to check things out. You can see the people heading down the gangway, getting processed in the building, then spilling out into the parking lot. It’s a continuous stream…..

 

 

 

 

Supplies are being unloaded for this week’s cruise……

Does every Carnival cruise have a Groove for St Jude day?
