The Ship Post #4

Now I'll move from food to other parts of the ship.  The atrium is a little different from other Carnival ships.  It covers only a few floors, has no glass elevators, and has an LCD funnel with interesting video which changes each day.

Stringed group playing Christmas music.  It was nice!

We really love the pool on the Lido deck.  This ship has the Dive In Movies, which our locally based ship does not.  We love, love, love movies under the stars with accompanying popcorn and a blanket.  We had rain one night, but that didn't stop us!

We tend to start our day on the Lido deck at the buffet, called the Marketplace on this ship.  Breakfast and coffee and Kindles lead into a lot of sitting and staring out the window on sea days.

In the photo below, notice the umbrellas over the tables.  This ship had many cute touches that made it quite different from most ships we've been on in the past.

There was music all over the ship.  Carnival started taking away the live bands and replacing them with DJs.  That might work on a short booze cruise, but not on longer cruises with an older crowd.

The ship not only had a hellacious water slide, it also had something called a Sky Ride.  I should have taken a ride, but didn't.  Grant did, though.

I tried to remove the above photo, or at least move to the other lido deck foodie photos, but the website I'm using won't allow me to do such a thing.  Sometimes I love technology, sometimes I hate it.
