International Waters Bar Crawl

4/28/2019

0 Comments

 

The good thing about going on a cruise as part of a group is that you never eat or drink alone. The Delware Broadcasting Corporation hosted a bar crawl on the ship with my husband at the helm, and it’s a small blessing we didn’t stop at every since bar on the boat. We made only a few stops, but we gathered the group at the central Atrium bar: exactly where we boarded the boat a few days prior.
​

The benefit to the Atrium is indeed the central location,. One floor up, and you could escape to a few different lounges. If you wanted dinner, the first dining room is right there. If you had to wait on a table, you could go right back down to the bar. You become very familiar with it in those first few days as a passenger. It’s a good place to start, and we found each other easily. It was, however, the least eventful stop in terms of drink. I began with a simple rum and coke here. Can’t even remember the exact type of rum.

The Carnival Ecstasy

Picture
I’ve been firmly on land for a little more than a week now, maybe too long to wait to write about eating aboard the Carnival Ecstasy. Still, it deserves discussion as a most unusual experience. The logistics alone that go into feeding and serving hundreds of people on a single boat for eight days blows my mind even now, not to mention the number of locations we had to choose from over the course of the trip.

Let’s begin with the center of all food and booze on the Ecstasy, the Lido deck: home of three different bars, a buffet, a pizza joint, a deli counter, Guy’s Burger Joint, and Blue Iguana Taco Bar. It’s a lot of food for a lot of people, though not every location is open for all mealtimes. It felt like a minefield for every lunch that I had to navigate through to make sure I got to the meal I intended, not the meal that distracted me. I was never really successful. We’ll talk about these individually another day.
