We have started the real crossing part. This cruise is flying by. Today's Capers and breakfast menu. Well see what is on the lunch menu later.

 

Yesterday at least two ambulances showed up at the ship. Some people exited with luggage. Also heard one person missed the ship departure from the Azores.

last night's supper

This morning was a benefit of Journey cruises - the cooking demonstration. Usually they have two different demonstrations during the cruise but it sounds like they may just repeat this one a second time. Which is fine. Pro tip - when they hand out samples. after everyone has been served, you can get seconds (thirds?),

I rank the lamb as best and the fish in second place.

 

And someone stole the guts out of one of my samosas.

Long nap. Just kidding. Now the relaxation has kicked in. Don't know or care what day it is. But it is a new day.

 

Saw this!

Yesterday was pickleball day. I didn't see or hear any calls for a stretcher team but it could have happened.

The funnel is still just wrong.

Retractable pool roof was closed and may stay closed depending on anticipated or actual weather. It becomes warmer and more humid in the area. But it does mean this ship is better suited for New York. All of Carnival's recent new builds have been warm water boats.

Today's Caper Paper and breakfast menu. I have a feeling we won't be eating in the MDR today.

Today I discovered some new things.

 

There is no lunch (Fresh Creations) on Serenity like on some other Carnival ships. Oh well.

[BlerkOne]

Lots of angry people over the wait for brunch - some waiting over an hour to be seated. Oh well. Go earlier. or not at all.

Confirmation that we are living in the "age of entitlement".

Some of it was warranted, I suppose. When the app says a 15-20 minute wait and many waited over an hour (I was one). But everyone checked in was served, no matter the time.

Internet access is via Starlink and it works great.
