Cocktails, Naps & Laughs

About 2pm, we ran down to our room to get grab our gift for the cocktail party. We made it optional to bring something from your state to exchange with others. Also we put on our group tshirts and name tags. So people knew who the heck we were LOL. 

So for just under $19 a person, it was all you could drink wine, beer, and 3 pre-selected cocktails. We as a group voted and majorities choices won. We also gave a couple extra bucks as a tip to for the bartenders. There ended being about 40+ of us, and surprisingly enough not ALL of us were belly up to the bar the whole time... but "SOME" of us were close to it LOL.

Within 30mins of the party going on  the bartenders were making you call its. Which ended up being SHOTS... for "SOME"! It all sounds great now...

After our hour or so of cocktail time, we then had a slot pull scheduled. Everyone put $15 in the machine then we each took 3 pulls. We split the winnings in the end which never ended up with anything big in fact we got $13 back in the end. So much for Big Money. We also all put $1 into a separate pot and the person that had the most wins for their 3pulls got that side winnings! That wasn't us...

Here we are all having a GREAT time, Be careful, I was really excited and then frustrated and well intoxicated sooo the explitives sort of flew. So if you get offended dont watch LOL. If not have fun and a laugh on me. Im not a happy loser!

After we got our big winnings of $13, we thought it was time for a nap. 

Its all fun and games until you forget your not young anymore and cant party like its 1999. 

Grandpa finally got his nap on.

The boys came back to get ready for elegant night and thank goodness they did, as they ended up up being our alarm clock. They woke us up and we all got ready so we could take some family pics before dinner. Its not a complete Elegant night if were not yelling at one another or doing something crazy. On Disney I ran to the theater without my shoes, Carnival Freedom I kicked a trashcan, and now on the Breeze I had wine spilled on me... ok so maybe its just me that this crazy stuff pertains to. 

What had happened was, we got ready in record time. As we were heading out I poured myself a glass of wine. We then scouting for good background, as we were leaving one area, J bumped into me and there went the wine all over me. Luckily enough the dress hides spills well, as I didnt see any in the pics.  

Ok they need to not have you do crazy poses....

No one wants to wants to see my ring, heck I dont even want a pic like that LOL.

Really the poses could be better. Also they were off center and blury (granted my bootlegging doesnt help show it)

I didnt notice as Im not the PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGROPHER, but it was really bad to have the 2 grey shirts right next to eachother. It should have been switch with the 2 in the back to break it up.

Im really sad as I thought I bought this one. Or at least one of all of us in this color theme. 

We took pictures on another background but could never find them. Which really upsets and frustrates me. What wasted time sitting for pictures to never find them! With all the technology and money poured into Carni, they need to upgrade this process. Give me a CD with all pics we have taken. You know how much time is wasted looking for pictures daily. Let alone how many pictures are thrown away, I know they recycle but its still a waste. Im sure they can figure out a way to take a picture and then scan your S & S card so they all go into your folio. I hate to bring it up but if Mickey Mouse can do it, we can figure out a way to do this for all lines. 

Ok I'll step off my soap box, as its now time for dinner.... 

The boys were done after pictures, I really wanted to have dinner together. But knew they wanted to hang with their friends. SO we let them go, which gave us a date night dinner. 

After having all that alcohol and not much food we were needing something in our tummies.

E actually ordred the Port Tart, it was pretty good. He's not much of a foodie and even he enjoyed it.

I had the mushroom soup. Guess the camera is drunk still

Hubby had the prime rib and baked potaoe. It was cooked just to his perfection.

I had the lobster meanwhile and... it didnt wow me. Eh it was lobster LOL

The bartender from earlier at the Rum Bar came by with Lemonchello shots and talked us into them. He was a crack up, the shots NOT SO GOOD. I was impressed he remembered not only our faces but our names. Sad that they come into contact with so many people and rememeber them all (or most) and here we see just a few and I couldnt remember .. well .. any.

About now it was dancing time in the dinning room. E missed the dinner shows on our Freedom cruise as about this time J would be done with his dinner and want to head to his club. Back then he was young so he had to be checked in by a parent. Which meant E missed the fun in the dinning room before dessert.

But this time he got to see all the madness. Im not sure how I feel about the dancing. Unless they are really into it, its great. But if they arent, then its just odd. I could deal with them just bringing me my food. LOL.

Ok so our wait staff was cute, no rythem but they were doing their best, and of course they were all smiles.

For dessert we both got Chocolate Melting Cake, nothing else wowed me on the menu.

After dinner we ran up to the room and changed out of the wine soaked dress and monkey suit, into jeans and more comfy shirts. Grabbed our rum runner of Bacardi and sodas, headed to the lido to get cups of ice and made ourselves some cocktails. Because you know we haven't damaged our livers enough yet. 

Ended up getting a middle seat for the 11pm show. Comedian was Macio. He was hilarious, a little ronchie but over all funny. He did a really long set too, as we kept him going as a good audience should. At the end of his show, he said ok were all going to storm the Liquid Lounge. We will dance 1 song, then bounce. Funny enough everyone did, it was like a mad mob.

Then just as Macio said, when that song was over, everyone that was from the comedy club all took off. It wasn't that packed of a night club so the few that were there, Im sure ended up wondering what the heck just happened.

It was after midnight now and we had told the boys 1am for curfew since we hit port the next day. E and I went to grab a piece of pizza or 2, then headed back to the room. We pre packed our backpack with towels, sunscreen, cameras.. etc. So we just had to wake up get ready, and eat some breakfast as it was an early port tmrw at 7am... or basically in a few hours. 

I posted some more pictures and checked in with our cruise peeps to see how their day was. Once the boys came back in we checked off on the room service door menu, what everyone wanted for breakfast. Then hung that so we didnt have to fight the crowd for food in the am. Off to dream land we went.
