Carnival Vista 2021 – Sea Day #3

It’s our last day on the Carnival Vista. Tomorrow they will be forcing us to leave! But that’s ok. We are going to make the best of today.

First, we will start the day with Sea Day Brunch. What’s brunch without a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa? Definitely our brunch starter of choice!

I was shocked when Jim didn’t order his normal Eggs Benedict. Today, we decided on the Voyage Burger. He said it was very good. I had my typical Steak and Eggs.

Before long, we had finished our meal and wondered around the ship for a while. We came upon the class that teaches how to make the towel animals. We didn’t stay but we took some pictures!

When we arrived to our stateroom, we found this towel animal, or should I say towel heart.

We spent some time packing then we went to Lido Marketplace for lunch.

One of the VIFP Gold perks is a free drink on the last night of the cruise to be used after 5pm I think. We decided we would get our drink from the Alchemy bar. This is the first time we have ever ordered a drink from any Alchemy bar. We have high hopes for our beverage! I’m not positive, but I think Jim ordered the Quick Fix and I may have had the Pain Relief. I do not remember so it is quiet possible I’m wrong.

The last dinner on the ship is sad. Sad because we know this cruise is coming to an end. So we will enjoy our dinner and maybe shed a tear or two when they sing that song…

Tonight we made sure to get pictures of our wait team before things got crazy. They were a fantastic team and I am so glad we were seated with them.

Our last meal of the cruise consisted of Rustic French Bread and Ciabatta with Whipped Butter, Olive Oil & Balsamic, and tomato & olive Tapemade, Steak Ale and Cheddar Soup, Braised Short Ribs, Broiled Strip Loin Steak, Baked Alaska, and one last Carnival Melting chocolate Cake.

After dinner and saying our goodbyes, we walked around determined to find the perfect backdrop for my required last photo of the cruise. I could not wait to take it when I found exactly what I wanted!!!!

We also did some shopping as we still had a lot of on board credit to use!

And then we returned to our room to finish any packing and to sleep.

The final installment is coming soon!!!

Carnival Vista 2021 – Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan.


Welcome to Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, Honduras!

We enjoyed sailing into the port from our balcony. I apologize for the quality of the photos.

When we got the all-clear to go ashore, we were ready but in no hurry. We already knew how we were going to spend our day! We decided to walk around the shops first so we could see if there was anything we couldn’t live without… specifically a medication I left at home. But mostly to get an idea for souvenirs.

We took a leisure stroll to the beach area. Once there, we went to the shack that rents the clam shells, floats, snorkel equipment, and other things.

We spent time in the water and enjoying the view. The beach is lovely.

We did not spend a lot of time on the beach. Instead, we returned to the ship for lunch and to relax. On our walk back to the ship, I had the brilliant idea to go down the nature trail on the way back. There were a couple of photo ops that I’m glad I didn’t miss.

But first, before eating, we went to our stateroom to find our new towel animal!

After our stomachs were full, we went back to the shopping area to make our souvenirs we knew we wanted.

We returned to the ship in plenty of time to get cleaned up from our day, dressed for dinner, and enjoy the views from our balcony.

Dinner, as always, was great!!!!! The bread selections for this night were Baguette and Whole Wheat with the condiment selections of Whipped Butter, Olive Oil & Balsamic, and Bacon Pan Drippings. Unfortunately, I do not remember what remember what my cocktail for this evening was, but it was good!

For his appetizer, Jim ordered the Fried Mozzarella Sticks while I had the Heart of Iceberg Lettuce with ranch dressing.

We had the same main course selection of Grilled Been Tenderloin.

We even had the same dessert, Bitter N Blanc.

After dinner, we returned to our stateroom for the remainder of the evening/night.

Coming up next, Belize.
