Carnival Liberty 2023

We decided to stay on board, instead of going to Eltheria (?), before we even sailed. It was a good choice since the ship really calmed down in the middle of the day.

I originally went up to my spot on aft 10, but there weren't any seats in the sun. So then I went to mid 10 and found a spot. It was humid and hot!

I went downstairs for a drink and it started to rain. I had to go and grab my stuff. Just as I ordered a drink, I realized my coffee cup was still upstairs.

Heather joined me while I was at the Red Frog bar and she got me a piña colada. I kept saying, "you want a piña colada." It took her awhile to figure it out! We decided to go to the Serenity deck. It started raining as Heather went up first. I was finishing up a conversation and had to find her. We hung out in a couch-pod for a bit. When the sun came out we went into the hot tub with 2 ladies from Tennessee. They were interesting, but nice to chat with. Very "red state."

After that we went to the buffet for lunch. Heather had a massage at 12:45pm, so I went back to the room and took a nap for 45 minutes. Then I went to the lobby bar for Trivia.

I was coming down the stairs as the were doing the answers for the disco song trivia. They were trying to get someone to do the "Hustle." I got to the floor and showed them! I did a fact or fiction, movie quote, and movie music trivia. Did okay on the 1st 2, but didn't know many of the music ones. It was fun.

I moved to the 5th deck lounge area to journal. Heather joined me after her post-massage nap. From there, we moved to the Alchemy Bar for happy hour.

Dinner was quiet. None of our table mates showed up. I had the salmon, which was good. We headed to the piano bar--again! It was way mellower, but still fun. After Heather went to bed, a guy came in and was singing all these 50s songs. He wasn't a great singer but he was all heart. We closed down the bar and Laura (piano bar groupie), Mike (piano player), Clinton (singing guy), and I hung out for a little bit. Then Clinton and went to the Casino bar for one more. He wanted to try my negroni, and I let him. He did not like it!

There was discussion about going to the nightclub, so I new it was time for BED!Read more
