Live From The Carnival Freedom: Crossing the Atlantic for a New Whale Tail

[jam19872016]

Good morning.

 

I checked in for dinner last night and that's as far as I got.

 

I made a trip to the buffet around 8 for dinner.

 

Lido menu.

 

 

 

[jam19872016]

Dinner wasn't bad but it was underwhelming. 

 

I had hoped to get my walk in but unfortunately I had to crawl back in bed. 

 

Soon after I fell asleep and I was out until morning.

Is that the scale in the gym?  You could weigh a free weight and see if it's accurate.  Or not😉

My own scale. The one I'm the gym is too complicated for me 😆.

Thanks feeling a little better but we are still rocking pretty good so we'll see what happens once I get moving.

Breakfast burrito and a couple items from the buffet.

I enjoyed my breakfast even the hot dogs masquerading as sausage was good.

 

I'm going to attempt my walk while I can still stand upright.

Love the Freedom.  Took a 5 day to celebrate our 37th anniversary.  Went on the Mardi Gras n April but liked the Freedom more.

I haven't done Mardi Gras but I did celebration. Two very different experiences. Celebration had a huge wow factor but overall Freedom wins hands down for me.

[jam19872016]

Did 24 laps, about 2.67 miles.

 

Passed a cargo ship along the way.

 

 

Now  I'm cooling off with a mango daiquiri.

What will you do with the ducks?  If I find any, I take one or two to hide on another cruise line or ship (especially those tagged with the current cruise info).  I leave more than two in place or rehide them on that ship. I have kept only two (well, three if you count both of the twins):

My mom has a large collection of them at her house. She is a big kid with those things and loves to find and collect them. 

 

I turn all my finds over to her.

How many days left in this first leg? Bobbi

[jam19872016]

After an enjoyable lunch I went back to my Mom's room and helped her pack up for the move tomorrow. I lived out of my suitcase so I will throw my laundry bag in my suitcase, toss in the handful of items I unpacked and be ready.

 

Mom has a little OBC left so we are heading to the casino to play a little. I have $3 left but not all my write in tips have posted yet.

Twilight zone.

 

[jam19872016]

I didn't throw any more money in went ahead and cashed out my winnings which I'm sure Carnival will get another shot at 😉. My mom played for a bit and cashed out her remaining.

 

Heading to the sauna for a little bit. Vifp party in an hour I'm undecided if I'm going.

Most diamonds on-board since Andy signed on in May. Based on the size at the luncheon I would say around 40-50.

 

Youngest platinum is 19

 

Most seasoned cruiser is 90...met him at diamond lunch he looked amazing for his age 

 

Most days is 996
