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

[jam19872016]

Roasted cauliflower for me.

 

 

Baked goat's cheese for mom.

 

[jam19872016]

Very wonderful flavors 😋. And a nice light starter before my heavy meal 😀

 

My mom also ordered aisan noodle salad.

 

[jam19872016]

My mom's fajita bowl.

 

 

Quesadillas and sausage and ricotta papperdelle

 

[jam19872016]

The pasta was just OK. I like a saucier pasta but other than that it was good. The quesadilla was the winner. Very good and that salsa had a real nice kick to it.

 

My mom's apple and rhubarb crumble.

 

 

I got lemon meringue pie and chocolate Brownie.

Looks like they are doing Emuster this week.  We are exempt since it's considered one cruise and not a b2b.

 

Dumb and dumber on the TV. One of my favorites so I'm catching the end of it.

[jam19872016]

Did my walk already while waiting for lunch to open. It's a wet and cool, almost cold outside. Definitely a good day to stay inside.

[jam19872016]

What a funny movie. Totally unexpected to see that playing here. It played on a loop so I watched it from the beginning until it reached the point I started.

 

Getting sleepy laying in bed so I got up and grabbed a coffee that I'm enjoying in the commodore club now.

Initial observations, it seems a younger crowd this segment. I have already seen several 20 and 30 somethings. Totally unscientific of course just what  noticing so far.

We'll be about 5 days behind you on the crossing. We'll be bringing the Pride back from Rome/Civativecchia! Looking forward to a week in Italy and then the crossing back! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

There are a lot of people joining you that sailed Freedom over. We had amazing seas, here's hoping we each do on the return 😀. 

 

Have a great trip!

I'd intended on just getting a nibble from the tea time section of the buffet but it was closed off.

 

So I grabbed a little from the main line.

 

Then it was reopened. 

 

So this is what my little nibble turned into.

What is the pink stuff?

[jam19872016]

Fresh fish. Very tasty so I've grabbed a few pieces every time I stop by.

Heading to duty free

Afternoon Jam! We have just joined and quite surprised by the demographic. A lot younger than normal Cunard and a lot of Scottish too. Is it Scottish half term break this early I wonder? 
 

Good to be “Home”.

Well, there was I wondering if it were pink grapefruit - or perhaps ham. 🙂

Do you have to clear security and come back through for duty free or can you just go straight to it?

it could well be. Most of England is next week.

[jam19872016]

That duty free was disappointing. Last week we were in Terminal B this week D. Smaller selection and much more expensive. 

 

Bummer.

Welcome home! So you see it too? Much younger crowd relatively speaking and even a small handful of kids.

 

Went straight to duty free and straight back didn't need to clear security either way. 

 

Disappointed with the selection and prices debating if I want to grab anything. 

[jam19872016]

Costa Smeralda docked ahead of us.

 

[jam19872016]

Decided to buy a couple items.

 

€30

 

[jam19872016]

Even though there were things I wanted to try again, I'm glad we still have unique menus.

 

 

[Host Hattie]

The rice pudding seems to have come round again quickly!
