Alchemy – Cruising Dog Mama

Carnival Mardi Gras Day 3 Cozumel October 2022

I started off with some time on the treadmill with the great view. Then breakfast at Emeril’s, coffee, beignets and croissant sandwich with sweet potato fries.

We always go to Mr. Sanchos when we are in Cozumel. We get the romance package, which is the all inclusive, with the day bed and a 30 minute massage for each of us. The swim up bar is one of my favorites as well. One of the things I like about Mr. Sanchos is you order food off the menu instead of a buffet. The coconut shrimp is something we always get.

Back on the ship it was time for afternoon coffee, then drinks at Alchemy then we had dinner at the steakhouse and ended the night at the Havana music area.

Carnival Magic Day 6 Sea Day…it’s almost over

The last day and a Seaday, I am usually trying to do as much as possible. In retrospect, there was not much I did not do on this cruise. I had a great time and cannot wait to do another solo cruise.

Seaday brunch with a Bellini and Lobster Benedict and beignets. Spa time, the drinks at Blue Iguana and the final Guy’s burger, afternoon comedy, then the none too subtle towel creation that it is time to leave, then spending time on the balcony just looking at the water.

Then time for Alchemy and Karoke at Red Frog, where someone lost ta bet, before dinner at La Cucina. Amazing Garlic Cheese Bread, Fried Calamari, Veal Marsala, Irish Coffee and Dessert.

The piano bar was the highlight of the cruise and the last night was no exception. It was Cinco de Mayo, so there were some fake mustaches. Maxed out the drink package and was able to say goodbye to the other regulars in the piano bar and of course, Henry the bartender and Ben the piano player. What a great cruise!

Carnival Magic Day 1 Embarkation

After my work out and coffee from the hotel cafe, it was time for breakfast and more coffee. I drove to Port Canaveral and parked at the port. I was on the ship in no time, having my first drink of the day, a funship special doing the e-muster, the next drink at Red Frog Pub, exploring the ship and a Guys burger for lunch and the famous celebration cheesecake.

After 1:30, I was able to go see my room, a spa balcony and it was my birthday so I had a birthday cake. After unpacking and getting the room set up, it was time for the sail away party.

I spent some time at Alchemy before my reservation for dinner at the steakhouse.

Then to the piano bar for shenanigans, late night room service and then a slice of birthday cake.
