Creator's Key Takeaways

this is day two or our first CD tomorrow our protocol will be Nasa Bahamas

all we have done is the uh embarkation lunch we do not do many videos of the little Buffet on Carnival ships pretty much because it's small and repetitive

it's an ultra cruise for us and it's not going well as usual

YouTube Video Description

We only ate at the Lido Marketplace Buffet on this cruise as it was at max capacity, 5,900 guests and we heard the wait times at the dining rooms, Palm, Flamingo, Chibang and Cucina del Capitano was minimum half an hour to even get the menu after being seated. We also had to be present in the Casino for the many Ultra Guests drawing so we got a quick bite at the Lido Buffet and later, we would have sandwiches or pizza before retiring.
