20 for 40- Sea Day #2

Enjoy One Last Day
September 7, 2022 
Sea Day #2


Carnival Breeze and gorgeous Caribbean... So perfect! 

Morning
I woke up shortly after 7AM and quietly went to the balcony to enjoy the calm seas and beautiful views. Chris woke up about an hour later and we went to get coffee from Blue Java Coffee Bar before going to Sea Day brunch in the MDR. 


A view from the Cove Balcony... I swear this is the most perfect cabin EVER! 


Another view from the balcony! 


A view of the Lido Deck main pool area around 9AM. 


A view of the Waterworks area as it opened at 10AM. 

We decided to be CRAZY on this brunch and we each got a few really weird things from the menu; like fried cheese sticks from the kids menu and a salmon Caesar salad. This was really fun to try but there were no big winners for us! 

We then went and played our traditional putt-putt golf game on the Carnival Breeze Sports Deck area on Deck 12. I was ahead for several holes but in the end, Chris won! AGAIN... Gosh, I have to win one soon! Maybe on the Adventure of the Seas? This is always such a fun tradition for us and despite it being a Sea Day it was not crowded at all.  


Time for mini-golf! 
C'mon Kellie... Try to win one! 

After our golf fun we went to the Atrium Bar to play cards and try and relax as we knew once we got off the ship on the following day, it was literally right back to work and being parents. We enjoyed our drink package again and played some trivia in the Atrium. We tried to do well on the Carnival 50th birthday trivia but some of the opponents were using their phones to get answers and we were not able to win. We played a few other trivia with a large group and Chris was able to help his team with the "Wheely Big Trivia" and earned another Carnival Medallion. 

I was very excited to be able to play FRIENDS trivia yet again and hopefully get a perfect score and get an additional Carnival Medallion but that was not the case. Unfortunately, for the first time in 5 Carnival cruises and 7 cruises overall, I was not able to come up with a W on the FRIENDS trivia! It was fairly depressing but this was a legitimate trivia and the winner deserved the medallion! I only scored 17/21 questions but these were TRUE Friends fans questions. I wish I would have written them down because I think even some of my best friends who are FREINDS geniuses would not have done well on these questions! 

After the FRIENDS Trivia fail, we went to the Main Theater to check out the Q&A session with Jasper. As I mentioned before, we were NOT a fan of our CD, Jasper,  but we love a good Q&A with the CD. We were hopeful this would be a "good" one but it was anything but that. Once again, Jasper turned this into a chance to just talk about himself. We were disgusted with the questions that were being answered but more so by the "just one little story" answers he was replying with.

Afternoon 
We went to get a late lunch at Guy's Burgers and then went back to the Casino Annex Bar. We really enjoyed this during the day time as it was the only place that offered EPSN on the ship. While we were sitting at the bar, we met the Hotel Director for the Carnival Breeze and were able to talk to him for a while. He was so very nice and even gave us a "drink on the house" which was very hospitable.


Trying to stay hydrated today! Water is definitely the KEY! 

Afterwards, I ventured back to the actual casino but was once again, not successful. This time on Roulette. I was able to go back up about $50 but opted not to stop and then lost it all again! "That's how they get you"! 

Chris went back to the room to take a nap and I went up to the Lido deck in hopes of finding a deck chair in the shade. I was able to find one and spent a few hours just watching the ocean sail by and it was absolutely GLORIOUS!  

I made my way back to the stateroom to start the packing process. In our later cruises, we have decided it is actually easier to NOT carry off our luggage and instead place it outside your room the night before disembarkation. We have noticed MORE AND MORE people are doing the self-assist disembarkation and that means a long wait so we opt to do the regular debark and we got off just as fast, if not faster than most. That means you have to have ALL your bags packed and outside your room by 10PM so you have to pack it up before dinner. It is SO depressing but really works for us! 


The COVID hallway on Deck 2 forward. 
(I learned this is a customary location on ALL Carnival ships). 

After I got our luggage packed, we just chilled on the balcony so we could catch the sunset at 7:15PM. It was STUNNING! It just doesn't get much better than a sunset on your balcony of a cruise ship! That is simply PERFECTION! 


Sunset on a cruise ship... It is one of my favorite things EVER! 
And this one was so clear and near perfect! 


Another view from our Cove Balcony! 


The seas were smooth and calm! 
This was about 4 minutes from the sun actually setting and disappearing into the horizon! 

Then we took a quick shower and went to another PG comedy show in the Comedy Club. This comedian was just not as funny but we enjoyed having a clean show. We then went to our last dinner aboard the Carnival Breeze. We gave our servers our tip and gift and told them thank you. One of our servers was going to go home in 2 more cruises so we were so happy for her! 


Soup and salad for the healthy win! 
I wish I could make salads like this at home! So fresh and so healthy! 


Of course, it was all followed by Baked Alaska so it was a wash! 
Haha... I am so glad Carnival has brought this back for their 50th Anniversary Celebration menu! 

After dinner we went back to Alchemy Bar for another round of drinks before getting in line for the last adult comedy show of the cruise. We were able to get in line and then get in the Comedy Club to get fairly decent seats for this final show. The Comedian was hilarious and we enjoyed this show very much! Then it was time to go back to the room and get to bed so we could face reality in the morning. 

This day and this cruise had been AMAZING but all good things must come to an end! It's been real Carnival Breeze! Until Next time! 

Up Next... Debarkation of the Carnival Breeze!
