It's Time for a CELEBRATION!!! (with pics) - April 16th 2023

[Jamman54]

Patti concludes today’s picture tour with the Heroes Tribute Lounge…..

 

 

 

 

 

In the meantime, I have awoken from my two-hour nap. I’m hungry, so I head up to Guy’s Burger for a Pig Patty and fries, then take it to the Red Frog Tiki Bar to wash it down with a couple of Thirsty Frog Wheats. Afterwards, I head back to the cabin where I find Patti out on the balcony reading and taking a well-deserved rest. She did a lot of walking today to get all these pictures for us. Thanks Babe!!!

 

 

We hung out until we sailed away a little after 5pm…..

I can't image four ships in port that day. It must have been packed!

It was pretty busy with the first three ships in. We were out of there before the Adventure of the Seas came in. 😎

[Jamman54]

At 6pm we made our way down to Center Stage to get floor seats for the 7:15 performance of the Most Magnificent Circus. We wound up sitting with our friends Flo and Al.…..

 

 

 

 

We’ve got our drinks…..

 

 

We’ve heard mixed reviews concerning this show, but we really enjoyed it. I think it’s because there was a lot of interaction between the cast and those people sitting on the floor. Patti took over one hundred pictures during the show, but I’ll only be showing you a small portion of them. Welcome to the Most Magnificent Circus…..

The bows…..

 

 

 

 

 

After the show we went up to the Marketplace for dinner. Patti had mozzarella sticks, barramundi, skillet potatoes, green beans, and spinach…..

 

 

I had the sliced roast beef, fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, and skillet potatoes…..

 

 

We stopped for ice cream by the Tides Bar, and then grabbed a coffee on the way back to the cabin. Here is tonight’s towel animal…….

 

 

Coming up next: Our day at Mahogany Bay.

Great photos.  We really enjoyed the Most  Magnificent Circus when we were on the Celebration in December.

Thanks Jeff and Patti, gives us a great look at a ship we would like to do in the future.

WoW that show looks amazing!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!!!

Day # 5  -  (4/20/23)  -  Mahogany Bay  (8am – 6pm). 

 

We were up at 7am, just as the Carnival Celebration was approaching Mahogany Bay. The sun hasn’t come up yet as ship’s time is two hours ahead of local time, meaning that it’s only 5am here……

 

 

Here are today’s Fun Times…..

 

 

 

 

Captain Alcaras spins the Celebration around to back into our berth…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

The officers and pilot keep an eye out from the bridge…..

 

 

Today, we have rented a beach cabana. As we back in we can see the area where we’ll be hanging out today…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here are some Mahogany Beach views as we back into our berth….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are getting closer, so the dockworkers prepare for our arrival….

 

 

 

 

The Celebration is docking in Mahogany Bay. We will be the only ship here today…..

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

The sun rose over the hills as we were docking…..

 

 

 

 

 

We are docked, so the crew sets up the gangways, and then the photographers get set up…..

 

 

 

We decided to skip breakfast and we left the ship at 8:15am. It’s great to be at Mahogany Bay again…..

 

 

 

We enter the main plaza. If you have a Carnival excursion, this is where you will meet them…..

 

 

In order to cut down on the amount of walking that Patti has to do today, I will go ahead and get our cabana. She will start her picture tour here, and then make her way to the cabana later. There are two ways to get over to Mahogany Beach. You can walk the path over, or you can take the Magical Flying Beach Chair…..

 

 

 

I, of course, will be taking the Magical Flying Beach Chairs. It is free if you rent a Beach Cabana. See you guys later!

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti starts out by checking out Fat Tuesday…..

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some random Plaza views…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

A dance troupe is performing…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti heads out to where the Carnival excursions leave from…..

 

 

 

Taxis are also available out here…..

 

 

If you have an independent excursion booked, you will have to head up the hill and out of the complex to meet them…..

 

 

This is where you go for horseback riding, ATV’s, and the zipline…..

 

 

 

From here this is your view of the Celebration…..

 

 

On her way back down, Patti spots the Craft Market…..

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti is ready to begin her journey over to Mahogany Beach. She took these random shots along the way……

 

 

 

 

 

 

This way to the Magical Flying Beach Chairs…..

 

 

 

 

Here comes Patti’s ride…..

 

 

Patti is on her way….

Do you know how much the magic chair rides are if you don’t have a cabana? 

[Jamman54]

Here are some views from the Magical Flying Chairs as Patti made her way to Mahogany Beach…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Patti is coming in for a landing!

Patti laughed when she saw her drink! We knew that the picture would get a "rise" from everybody! 😁

 

Would have been even more appropriate if she'd ordered a Sex on the Beach! 🤣

 Just noticed that the prices have gone up a dollar.

We will be enjoying one of these cabanas on our Mardi Gras cruise leaving in 13 days! We rented one last year and LOVED it, so I stalked the website to grab one again. Thanks for posting such great photos!

We get a beach cabana every time we come here, but now that they raised the price to $500, don't think we'll pay that price unless we're splitting it with friends.

Yeah, we're kinda thinking the same thing, which is a complete bummer.
