Good morning from the Carnival Magic. I love having morning coffee on our balcony. Last night, we were informed that our itinerary has been changed due the mechanical problem the ship was experiencing. Our altered itinerary would now be:
Monday 11/14/2011 – Depart Galveston.
Tuesday 11/15/2011 – Fun Day at Sea
Wednesday 11/16/2011 – Arrive in Progreso for overnight stay.
Thursday 11/17/2011 – Progreso (departing in afternoon)
Friday 11/18/2011 – Cozumel
Saturday 11/19/2011 – Fun Day at Sea
Sunday 11/20/2011 – Return to Galveston
This change doesn’t bother me. Two days in Progreso are still better than being at work. But for now, it is time for breakfast. It is imperative that I cam well fed and caffeinated before we start our day of fun! But wait!!! What is this on our door??? Our friends that we have cruised with before made something for us. So very creative!!!!
After breakfast, we wandered around the ship taking more pictures. I am in love with the artwork in the stairwells. And I love how the lights by the glass elevators change colors. I am sure I will spend more time in the Atrium just looking up and watching them change. Yes. I am easily amused.
Now it is time to meet our Facebook group in the Atrium for a Cabin Crawl. I feel so lucky to be able to see so many different types of staterooms. The crawl actually began on Deck 1 in an Oceanview Deluxe and ended on Deck 12 in a Spa Balcony. I have to admit, my favorite stateroom on the cabin crawl was the Aft Balcony Wrap. It has the views and the space. Maybe one day I will be staying in an Aft Balcony Wrap.
After all the walking and climbing stairs, Jim and I were ready for lunch. Nothing at the Lido buffet really appealed to us so we went upstairs to Cucina del Capitano. Our food was good and it is free during lunch hours.
The next thing on the agenda is a Meet & Greet at Red Frog Pub. John Heald and Calvyn made an appearance!!! This was a lot of fun!!!! This has really been a fun cruise!!!!
Since it is the first sea day of the cruise, that means it is also formal night, or cruise elegant night. But that also means Lobster and Prime Rib are served at dinner. And, of course, Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. It also means that we have the opportunity to have a picture made with us all dressed up. Something we rarely, if ever, do at home.
It was a long day and we were worn out. We need to figure out what we want to do in Progreso since we will be there tomorrow!!!
In the next installment… our first day in Progreso.
