Carnival Celebration
At Sea—headed to Miami

82F, Sunny
We started the day with arepas for breakfast—that is a Colombian food I love, and I would describe it as mozzarella cheese melted within two slices of fried corn patty (another version of a grilled cheese sandwich). The first time we found arepas was at Renniger’s Antique and Collectors Extravaganza in Mt. Dora, Florida at least eight years ago. (Over 800 vendors selling antiquities, collectibles, vintage, and more outdoors, indoors, and tents.) https://renningers.net/
The rest of the day was exactly like yesterday, after we
packed (at separate times). Guy’s
Hamburgers, euchre with Donna and Lawrence, and enjoying the sun and warmth as
long as we could!
The highlight at dinner was Baked Alaska—the portion
was huge. I think the Chef read my blog yesterday about the tiny little lemon
torte and said, “I’ll fix her.” Huge. Luckily the restaurant did not catch fire—we
have not seen flaming Baked Alaska in forever. Donna actually saw a servers
hair catch on fire while doing the Baked Alaska parade on a cruise some time
ago. Fortunately my favorite firefighter
could have saved the day from any mishaps.
One more thing, the casino on this ship is huge and
always busy (when we weren’t in port). My guess is that it is double the size
of our house (both floors), with over 180 slot machines and 18 Gaming tables (like Blackjack,
Caribbean Draw Poker, 3 Card Poker, Let it Ride). We each got $25 free play—I ended
up $.60 to the good and TK did better than that. There are so many things on
this ship I did not see like the 800 foot long rollercoaster and the Waterworks
Waterpark. It is a big ship!
Anyway, this cruise is a wrap. We are grateful we were
with Donna and Lawrence who made it so much fun. The bags are in the hall, ready to be picked
up by the crew for tomorrow’s pick up. Our adventure continues!
Welcome back to reality
