Cruise Day 3

I woke up early around 6:38am to watch us pull into Celebration Keys and it was something. I got dressed and went outside to watch us pull in. You could see the big castle that has the water slides in it standing tall. It really wasn't warm but not as cold as what we left back in Norfolk. Celebration Keys is a new place that Carnival opened up in 2025 for their ships to dock and passengers to have a great time.

We have heard about the donuts there so that was on our radar to try out but it was not free. We had to purchase 6 mini's for 12 dollars. But thats for a future post in here. Shaq has some part into Celebration Keys but not sure what. It was just beautiful and that huge pool they have is amazing but it was so cold in the water we couldn't get in it.

Jason was feeling better today which was a great thing to hear. At least he will be able to enjoy Celebration Keys. We did some shopping when we first go off the boat as this was our first day off the boat in two days. They had some great shops but we really enjoyed the straw market the most. We purchased some bracelets for the girls and a Christmas Ornament for our tree that they say the local high school students painted. I think we paid $10.00 for it. The marching band was going when we came out of one of the shops. They had a parade down the sidewalk and people followed them. It was really good.

We wanted to find the donut shop so we walked until we found the donut truck. We got 6 for 12 dollars. I was NOT feeling well at this time so I didn't eat much. We walked until we found the tram stop and waited on the tram to take us back out to the straw market at the beginning of the key. We went to the ocean part of the island and got us four chairs and Jason and I tried to get into the water. It was really rocky and hurt your feet if you didn't have water shoes on. I had some but I left them in the room on the ship. we set there for a few hours then decided that we wanted to food so we found the other food trucks that had chicken tenders, Hamburgers and fries. The food was really good. After eating we decided to shop just a little bit more then headed to the ship at 2:30pm. We were pulling out at 3:30pm. They have food trucks on both sides of the island, left and right, so there is food everywhere. But some of them are free with your sign n sail card and some are not.

Once we got on the ship we all decided from the sand to go take us a shower and clean up then we were going to met up on the lido deck and eat. I had a guys double burger and fries and the others went to pizza and buffet. The food there was always good. We talked and ate for a while and it was almost time for Deal or No Deal on the ship and we wanted to play.

Missy and I played the first two games as Jason and Missy watched how it was played. Missy won a free bingo card twice while playing. They play two different games during one show so you have several chances to win. They have it on your sign and sail card if you won or not so you just have to go and get your free card the next day to play bingo. Which we are going to do.

So in between the two deal or no deal shows, they played a game show called name that groove. Where people had to name a certain song to win prizes. This was a great game but NOT easy on some of the songs.

The guy on the left in black was so drunk but very funny to watch and he knew allot of the songs for his team as well.

After the show of Guess that groove, deal or no deal came back to play and Missy and Jsaon played this time with us. Jason won a free bingo card on this game just like Missy did during the first show.

After the shows were over Missy and Jason went to the room to turn in for the night and Missy and I went to see if we could get some pizza BUT the line was huge again so I got some oranges and we headed to our room to end celebration keys day.
