Traveling as Two - Day at Sea

Did you know that sometimes a "Day at Sea" means just "dragging main" in international waters so the casinos are legal? That was our Thursday and final full day on the ship. We started with brunch in the dining room. The Frog was disappointed with his overcooked french toast so I gave him my nice soft piece. I wasn’t hungry anyway. My sweetie finally tried the Huevos Rancheros and he loved them! We shared a small piece of banana cream pie and it was pretty tasty too.


We attended a comedy show and dinner in the dining room. Did I show you my favorite towel animal? Sorry, I didn't take many pics today.


My sweetie spent some time snoozing on the deck. Too bad it wasn't a bit warmer.


We watched a movie while we packed our bags, and we enjoyed the parade of nations show with Princess and The Frog.


I have really loved our cruise this time! I haven't had a moment of motion sickness and it was nice to spend time with Princess. We even did a free pampering class together in the spa. The Frog was lots of fun too. He had a homemade computer game that was a great way to pass time while we were waiting.

We get off the ship tomorrow morning, early! But I will tell you about that tomorrow.

Traveling as Two - Sort of...

We had arranged an Uber for Monday morning. She picked us up right on time and $64 later, we were at the Carnival terminal. A porter grabbed our luggage and we headed up the ramp.


Soon we were on the Lido deck and looking for lunch. My sweetie saw an empty table for 4, so he grabbed it while I went off in search of the salad bar. I filled my bowl and grabbed an ice water on my way back to our table. A woman with blond hair seemed to be in my seat. My heart dropped. My sweetie hated sharing our table with strangers. I pasted on a smile and prepared myself for introductions. 

None were needed. I set down my bowl and looked up to see Princess's beautiful face. She started laughing as I did a double-take. I grabbed her and then The Frog in a crazy hug. We had no idea they had booked onto the same cruise we had chosen 6 months ago.


We linked our staterooms and set up chat on the Carnival app. Then it was time to check into our rooms. We were on 7, they were on 1. 

We met again at dinner. We shared a table now that we were linked.


The food was yummy! 

My sweetie went to bed after dinner and I went to the opening show with the kids. No signs of motion sickness. At least not yet!
