Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2023 Author #578 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) The fog has lifted and been replaced with rain, storm clouds, and choppy seas. I feel fine but out of an abundance of caution I went ahead and took a pill. The inside areas are packed on this gloomy sea day. I feel bad for those looking to enjoy some sun on their only sea day this cruise because that isn't happening.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2023 Author #580 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The plan is to hit tea time today. That's at 3 so I'm gonna spend a little time in the sauna and walking track if it's not still wet outside. Will do treadmill if it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. Luckily there is a nice jogging track except when it's raining. It's too warm in the gym for me unless we are in port and the sun is bearing down on the track with no air flow.

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2023 Author #589 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Tea time met my expectations. I really wasn't expecting much and it delivered. It was a nice afternoon snack and something to do. Don't expect some fancy, elegant experience and I think you will enjoy it. One thing that did rub me and several others the wrong way was the push for specialty teas. No tea was served to start. A guy came around with the fancy teas for everyone and naturally everyone went to grab them, it is tea time after all. I told my mom it was a cost. He said no only nominal fee. Yes that is a cost. No just a nominal fee. Whatever, no thanks. He moved on to the next lady, same thing. My mom stepped in and let the lady know what I told her. He actually tapped my mom on the shoulder and shushed her and asked her to keep it to herself. Really. She said no thanks. The next table was not so lucky and there was quite a commotion when the free tea finally came out a good five minutes later. I could hear them upset that they were presented with no option but the upcharge tea like it was required. I also heard another lady upset she was being charged when you said no charge. He agreed, just a nominal fee. I'm not sure if his English is not good, or if this is a purposeful deception but it certainly seems intentional. Very shady and not a good look. Otherwise I enjoyed the experience and would go again. Just beware of the tea pushers. Edited September 20, 2023 by jam19872016 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 20, 2023 Author #593 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Odd timing for the vifp gathering. The military appreciation was wrapping up. They didn't clear the lounge inbetween and people started walking in while others were coming out. Sex on the Beach. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that happens often on Carnival and I always forget until it comes out with a lemon. I need to be more proactive and ask for a lime. lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
