Early Morning Walk - Towel Animals By The Lido Pool
​                 I woke up around 6:00am after not sleeping great. By 6:20am I was out of my stateroom and ready to walk around the Carnival Breeze. For today's morning walk I decided to start outside by the Lido main pool. When I got up to the Lido Deck's main pool area I saw housekeeping left towel animals by the pool and in most deck chairs. A towel animal folding class was taking place later in the morning for guests that were interested. It was still dark outside and there were no other guests taking pictures yet. I was able to get some pictures of the towel animals in the dark, but decided to come back before breakfast to take additional pictures. Below are some pictures of the Lido Deck Main Pool and surrounded deck chairs: ​

When I was finished walking around the Lido main pool area I went to the front stairwell and walked down to Deck 5. My first stop was the Ovation Theater's Deck 5 level. I would later be in the Ovation Theater for The Wave (live morning show).

My plan was to walk from the front to the back of Deck 5. The shops on Deck 5 were closed at this time of the morning, but would be open later in the morning until the late evening. Today was the last day for guests to make any purchases before the cruise was over as the shops are not open when the ship docks in Galveston on the last morning.

Along the Carnival Breeze's Promenade deck is a large screen that displays the ship's location, speed, wind speed/direction, & more. The information displayed on this screen is also available on stateroom TV's. While on deck 5 I stepped outside to see the sunrise from the back of the Lanai. When I went inside I walked through the Limelight Lounge.

As I finished up my walk around Deck 5, on my way to the stairwell I took some a couple of pictures of Piano Bar 88.

I walked down from Deck 5 to Deck 4. I saw the upper level of the Blush Restaurant was open so I walked inside. The bottom level was setup for the Sea Day Brunch. The upper level (back section) was setup for tea-time that was taking place later in the afternoon. I planned on attending tea-time, but again was stuffed from eating desserts at lunch. When Carnival serves key lime pie on the buffet I cannot resist. Below are some pictures of the Blush Restaurant:

For my walk around Deck 4 I went from the very back of the deck to the front. I passed by Club 02 and Circle C. The Deck 4 interior promenade hallway is home to the Carnival Breeze's Art Gallery. However, art is constantly being moved for the shows on sea days so the art gallery portion of the hallway has many bare spots for paintings. Typically, the Liquid Nightclub was used for the art shows on the sea days.

From Deck 4 I went down to the atrium lobby on Deck 3. The Guest Services desk was open and only had 1 guest in line. Later in the morning the line was extremely long. I guess people needed to take care of things before the last day of the cruise.

When I was done walking around the interior of the ship, I went back up to the Lido Deck. It was not yet time for breakfast so I walked around the Lido Main Pool area to make more pictures of the towel animals in the deck chairs. Other guests were out taking pictures as well so I tried to get pictures that did have any other guests in them.

At the back of Deck 11 I was able to see the sunrise. The sunrise was more of a red color compared to the yellow-orange that I saw earlier in the morning.

When breakfast time approached I went back down to the Lido Deck (10). I walked by the Seafood Shack, which was not yet open for the day.

Breakfast In The Lido Marketplace:
                  For today's breakfast I ate in the Lido Marketplace again. The Carnival Breeze's continental breakfast buffet line was open from 6:30am until 10:30am. The main Lido breakfast buffet lines were open from 7:30am until 10:30am, but one line stayed open from 10:30am until 12:00pm for late risers. Sea Day Brunch was taking place in the Blush Dining Room (aft dining room) from 8:30am until 12pm. Carnival was not serving bacon or french toast on this day of the cruise. Instead pancakes were available in place of french toast. 

Here are some pictures of the food options available in the Lido Marketplace:

After breakfast I walked outside and went up to Deck 11 and then to 12. The sun had completely risen and the water color had changed to a nice blue. Our final sea day's weather was nice with the exception of rain in the distance in the early evening.

While I was outside I walked up to Deck 15. From the entrance of the Serenity Adults Only Retreat I was able to see people already using the deck chairs even though it was shortly past 8am. The Carnival WaterWorks entrance was closed as the WaterWorks slides did not open until later in the morning.

The Wave Morning Show:
                  The Wave Morning Show was scheduled for 9:00am in the Ovation Theater or on the Carnival Breeze's stateroom TVs. The show this morning was hosted once again by our cruise director, Jasper, and Fun Squad member Chrissy. The show consisted of information about events taking place on the ship during our last sea day and onboard shopping. Attendance was down significantly compared to the first sea day's morning show. However, by the end of the show attendance began to increase as guests arrived for the Towel Animal Folding class which was taking place at 9:30am in the Ovation Theater. 
Platinum & Diamond Complimentary Brunch Drink:
                   Prior to the cruise we were notified that one of our benefits was a complimentary brunch drink. The drink was on our onboard account as no coupon was sent to our room like the pre-covid days. The coupon states the drink should be redeemed in the dining room for breakfast or Sea Day Brunch. I asked the atrium bar crew member if I could redeem the coupon at the atrium bar. She said yes and checked to make sure we had a free drink loaded onto our Sail & Sign account. I did not want to get a drink that would make me more stuffed than I already was. I decided to get a fruit punch Gatorade with my drink coupon. I stayed in the atrium to drink my Gatorade and sat through the second half of Carnival's 50th Anniversary trivia. I probably could have won if I would have played, but since I was late I did not join in. 
                    In the morning our stateroom came by to clean the room. He left a towel heart and a farewell card that reminded us to leave the stateroom by 8am.

At some point in the morning I walked outside to the front of deck 9 as well as walked outside on Deck 5. Below are some pictures:

Last Lunch In The Lido Marketplace:
                Today was our last sea day, which meant it was also our last lunch onboard the Carnival Breeze for this cruise. Our options for the final lunch of the cruise were as follows: 

  • Seafood Shack -   The Seafood Shack is located at the back of the lido buffet by the aft pool. This venue costs extra and was open from 11:00am until 5:00pm for lunch and was also open for dinner from 5:00pm until 10:00pm. 
  • Blue Iguana Cantina  -    12:00pm - 2:30pm
  • Bonsai Sushi -   This dining option is located on Deck 5 and costs extra. Bonsai Sushi serves a variety of different sushi related dishes. For lunch, this venue was open from 12:00pm until 2:30pm.
  • Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse (BBQ) -  This dining venue is located on the Lanai on Deck 5 and is complimentary. A variety of BBQ options are served here. The Carnival Breeze's BBQ line was open from 12:00pm until 2:30pm. 
  • Pasta Bar -  The pasta bar offers guests the ability to create a customized bowl of pasta. Essentially, guests fill out a paper form that gives options of what can be put in a pasta bowl. The form is turned into a hostess and a crew member makes the bowl of pasta. Caesar salads and garlic bread are also available. This venue was open from 12:00pm until 2:30pm. 
  • Guy's Burger Joint -  12:00pm - 6:00pm
  • The deli was open for lunch, but was also available for dinner (it closed at 11pm). ​​

I ate in the Lido Marketplace again for lunch today. I first went through the buffet line. Several of the items on the salad bar & hot foods section were good. I really enjoyed the food. For dessert Key Lime Pie was being served. This is still one of my favorite Lido desserts. I also had a slice of Cookies & Cream Mint Cake, which was delicious.

          After Lunch we went outside on Deck 7 to have a look out. At some point in the morning we passed by the Carnival Vista. Unfortunately I missed our passing on this day of the cruise, but was glad on our first sea day I was able to see the Carnival Vista and Carnival Dream. The Carnival Dream was sailing towards Key West on this day so I knew not to look for it. 
           I did not stay outside too long because I wanted to get the Ovation Theater before the Q&A started.

Ovation Theater
Q&Awesome With Jasper
                  The Q&Awesome was scheduled in the Ovation Theater at 1:30pm. Our cruise director, Jasper, hosted the event. The Q& Awesome was a time where guests could ask Jasper any questions about living on the ship or being a cruise director. The audience was not very enthusiastic and there were lots of awkward pauses in between questions. I have been on other cruises where lots of great questions were asked and the cruise director was able to give good responses. This was kind of a disappointing Q&A session overall. 
                    After the Q&Awesome a game of Bingo was taking place in the Ovation Theater. Bingo card sales were taking place on the edges of the Ovation Theater while the Q&Awesome session was going. This was going to be the final bingo session of the cruise. 
After the Q&Awesome in the Ovation Theater I went by the Limelight Lounge to see karaoke. Unfortunately, the lounge was so packed I was unable to find a seat. Many people were standing across the back of the lounge. I listened from outside the Limelight Lounge for a few minutes before deciding to walk around the ship. At some point in the afternoon I stopped by the room and stepped out on my balcony. Below are some pictures from my balcony:

In the middle of the afternoon I also stepped outside to look out from the front of Deck 9. Below are some pictures from the front of the ship:

Last Dinner In The Sapphire Dining Room: 
                     Tonight was our last dinner in the Sapphire Dining Room. At 5:22pm, the Carnival Hub App began allowing check-in for dinner. We checked in on the Carnival Hub App and within minutes were assigned a table. When the doors to the dining room opened we were taken to the assigned table. We were at the same table as the other nights of the cruise. Once again our waitstaff remembered our names and drink orders.
                      For tonight's dinner I ate the Marinated Chicken Tenders and Caesar Salad for an appetizer. For my main course I had the Enchiladas. I liked the enchiladas last time on the Carnival Breeze, but this cruise the enchiladas were even better!! On this cruise the enchiladas were sitting in some sort of green sauce that tasted good. For dessert, I had Baked Alaska.

Between dinner and the door opening time for the Ovation Theater, I went back my stateroom. I realized the sunset was likely nearly over, but I stopped on the way at the front of Deck 6 to see if I could still catch a glimpse. Below are some pictures from the front of Deck 6:

Playlist Productions Show: "Flick"
              Tonight's Playlist Productions show was "Flick".  This show had a variety of songs and soundtracks from movies. The effects in this show are very neat and the dancers & singers did a great job! The show took place twice in the Ovation Theater. One of the showtimes was 7:30pm and the other was 9:30pm. ​
I enjoyed watching Flick in the Ovation Theater and when the show was over I went up to Deck 5 to walk around the Lanai. I did 3 or 4 laps around. While walking I was able to see drilling rigs in the distance and the lights of passing cargo ships. There was too much light from the Carnival Breeze to see the stars above plus there was a little bit of cloud cover.

After walking around Deck 5 I went up to Decks 12 and 15. My primary goal was to head to the Lido Marketplace to get some water, but I made a detour by walking outside first. Jasper was hosting an 80's themed dance party by the Lido Main Pool. It looked like the party had a good turn-out. I walked across Deck 12 to the back of the ship before going inside to the Lido Marketplace.

I went to bed early hoping to get a good night's sleep before having to get up early. My plan was to wake up around 4:45am to finish packing and have some time to walk around the ship before breakfast. Once again I did not sleep good. I felt like the A/C temporary stopped running in the middle of the night plus having hallway noise made the night miserable. My bed was comfortable, but I cannot sleep with hallway noise. I could not wait to sleep in my bed at home the following night.
