Carnival Jubilee Sea Day #1

Yesterday we had a relaxing morning. Ordered some room service breakfast of delicious breakfast sandwiches. One was egg, turkey avocado and Swiss on multi grain and the other sausage egg and provolone on an English muffin. We then headed outside to enjoy a beautifully sunny (but windy) day. We found a spot at the Red Frog Tiki Bar and enjoyed some Grapefruit Bubbly!! As I mentioned yesterday, this ship has a bit of a Texas theme. And one of the activities is a multi part tailgate party. Yesterday we saw part one which had various competitions with guests. The funniest one to watch was the cow milking contest. The ship had a "cow" with udders and each team had to take turns milking this cow. Which ever tean had the most "milk" (really water) at the end of several rounds was the winner. Teams really got into it. And I can say I have never seen this on a cruise. So kudos to Carnival for coming up with something unique. 

After watching the competition, it was time for little snack which would serve as our light lunch. We needed to save room for tonight's dinner extravaganza: Chef's Table. We went to Street Eats which is a small food hall concept. They have three themed stands that feature different small plates each day. One has different topped fries. The other will have a different steamed bun each day. And the other has some type of other Asian or Indian food. Today there was pepperoni pizza fries, pad Thai and beef bao bun. All very tasty!!

After our snack we headed back to the cabin for some movie time. We watched "The Marvels". Interesting premise but the film was missing some of the magic of other Marvel movies. Even Samuel L. Jackson couldn't save it. We then had a mandatory rest period. 

We got ready for dinner and headed to our meeting spot at 6:15. Tonight was Chef's Table!! We have done this before on other Carnival ships. This ship class is unique in that the dining room is built in the middle of the galley. 

Some wonderfully creative and tasty courses including a duck "cigar", lobster three ways (ravioli, butter poached and broth), smoked venison and a chocolate "forest".

 So much good food!! My favorite was the lobster. 

 Since the meal took over two hours, we felt the need to walk around the ship a bit. Eventually we made it back to the cabin.
