Am I Really the Pioneer? Cool!!!

[Zooms]

Cruised on Carnival Miracle to Alaska 8/24 - 8/31/2021. Vaccinated or apply for exemption, negative test within 72 hours of sailing. Wasn’t THAT fun!!! Mostly due to trying to get results in timely fashion. Ended up sort of fudging answering on the questions for rapid testing. Hey, I’m a fat old lady, I get short of breath walking out to the carport!! Went to Alaska because no airlines involved, drive to Seattle, park, get on the boat.
Offer was for “free” room up to balcony with free drinks anywhere on the ship plus $500 Fun Play credits. The Fun Play turned out to be CASH!!! Ended up with ocean view room but that was okay, we were on deck 1, same side as the gangplank so we got to watch the port crew take it down which we enjoyed being sort of technical type folks. Free drinks was most places, not in the dining room or, apparently, the sports bar. Atrium bar no problems. Gotta figure out how to make low carb Pina Coladas!! Sugar free syrups (like for lattes) & rum, maybe some pineapple sherbet?
No sign of COVID since returning. I didn’t do any shore excursions, I enjoy just being on the ship & relaxing. I did hit a $1600 handpay on $5 Double Diamond.
