Carnival Dream, LIVE 10/8/22-10/16/22

[MeganGC1983]

We finished lunch and walked down to closer to wear the tenders drop off and pick up. Found 2 more bars, a basketball court, the market area, the “water sports” area where you can rent snorkels. Oh and a small church. 

[MeganGC1983]

The kids wanted to play in the splash pad area and we got back in the ocean briefly, but the splash pad is for kids age 4-6 and that area was just too crowded. 

[MeganGC1983]

So we packed up and headed back to the ship. A good 5 hours at Half Moon Cay. If you are keeping score at home, Princess Cay gets a point for free island wifi, Half Moon Cay gets a point for better sand, Princess Cay gets a point for more space… you could definitely get away from crowds there if you went to the right after tender. Princess gets another point for better snorkeling. Half Moon gets half a point for better kids stuff with the splash pad that my kids are too old for. Princess Cay gets another point for having George’s bar and shopping beyond the fence… Princess Cay wins the Carnival private island showdown. 4-1.5 final 😆

Anyway the tender over was the same as the first, just the opposite way and we sat on top of the boat this time.

Stewart had cleaned up, we showered off and half of us are napping and 1 kid is at Camp and I’m with Owin at RF. .. Patron margarita.

Paradise has some great pricing for the Feb 6 - 11 cruise. I have a balcony suite for just over $700. We'll do a Cruise Critic Meet & Greet!

That sounds great. I told Aris I won’t book until he’s on the ship. 😆 while I slept he renewed his driver’s license and packed up. In Indonesia, if your license expires it’s $150 compared to $10 if you renew it on time. You also have to “start over”. I guess that means you have to retest and what not. His was suppose to expire next month. He also canceled a dentist appt. He doesn’t have his flight info yet though. I told him if we pass the Paradise, I’ll jump out, swim over and wait on him. He told me “you not a dolphin”. 
Not sure about the Feb 6-11 dates. My middle has a birthday then and she doesn’t like for me to be gone on her birthday. I’ll check the TA rates in Nov. & Dec for Feb & March. That feels like a long wait to see him though.

Oh, got the stockholder email this morning and it’s on the account now. 

[MeganGC1983]

Sorry… had to work a little. Moved up to 11 to see the storm rolling in and took another margarita. A guy up here is trying to get his hustle on. Dominos $50 a game. He won’t take sail and sign cards. Bingo has better odds. 

[MeganGC1983]

Still working at bit… just answering questions. Came back to Owin for another. It’s not raining yet and we have Caribbean sounds with the steel drums. I’ve worked worse places. 

[MeganGC1983]

Lady walks up to RF with two full plates from Guys. She slings her mustard on a bar stool and is waiting for a drink. I have no idea how she’s gonna carry it. 

[MeganGC1983]

I tried to clean up the mustard and got in trouble. Theresia made Himmler do it instead. 
lady successfully carried her 2 double Guy’s burgers and fries and Dr. Pepper away sans mustard. 

[MeganGC1983]

One more… Thersia, Maria and Owin all holding it down at the Red Frog pub. Serving the most Pepsi at sea. 😆

[MeganGC1983]

I told Owin he just needs a soda and popcorn stand over in the middle because I know that’s their favorite jobs. He said “no, not for 8 months”. 😆

[MeganGC1983]

It’s Saw’s birthday. I haven’t had enough to drink to say that. 

[MeganGC1983]

The nappers woke up. 

[MeganGC1983]

It’s staring at us like it knows we talked about it. 

[MeganGC1983]

Capt Enzo came on and we are setting sail. Tomorrow looks dummy with a chance of meatballs, I think.

Good morning from Key West. 

 

Our home away from home! That's our timeshare to the right of the pier - we can hear the cruise ship announcements when we're sitting on the balcony.

I allegedly went shopping here with friends and I bought 3 shirts (over $200) to get a free drawstring HD bag. It's a nice bag though! 🤦‍♀️🤣

 

Sorry, I'm way behind but trying to catch up - we were on Freedom last weekend!

They probably give you a bag if you buy one shirt 🤣

 

Or maybe they have a policy where you only get a bag if you buy more shirts than you have hands.

He should get a Saw is the Law shirt. If my name were Saw I'd have one. Actually I do have one. But it would be cooler if my name were Saw.
