On board the Carnival Breeze they have a 4-D Thrill Theater. (Kinda like Captain EO but the whole seat moves.) It's an extra cost of $15 but you get unlimited visits which is what we did. There are different ten-minute movie shorts (two at a time) showing at a range of times through the days of the cruise. Our assigned dining was at 8:15 each evening and our restaurant was down the hall from the theater so we went often before dinner. I learned not to go
after dinner.
This night we got to see Happy Feet and Bamboo Express. (B.E. is a rollercoaster ride through the Himalayans. A lot of the scenes reminded me of the Jungle Cruise but the elephants
did spray you in the Thrill Theater.
) Other movies playing were Spongebob, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Speed Racer The Movie, and Extreme Log Ride. (E.L.R. was
very extreme. Basically
you are a log that has been cut at the top of a mountain and you go down ramps, rivers and sail through the air to a platform to be shipped. This is the only movie that made me ill.
)
My favorite movie was Planet Earth:Shallow Seas by the BBC. It was a movie for the "older" cruisers (not sure what that says about me
) who can't or didn't want to be tossed around in their seat. The whales still got you wet though and "the sea breeze blowing through your hair" was nice when you're sweaty.
One scene with an electric fireclam gives a shocky jolt to your back and I thought....holy carp! CLEAR....ZAPPP!
Our assigned restaurant was the Sapphire. (The picture below isn't mine but it is the same view we had from our seats.) Our head waiter was from Peru, the main waiter was from Bosnia and the drink waiter was from Indonesia. I did take food pics of our meals but I must admit my daughter and I had steak more than once.
Sooooo good! She was excited she didn't have to order off the kid's menu every night. This evening the two of us had caesar salads for apps, steak with roasted garlic, baked potato (for me), herbed fries (for her), and fresh apple pie ala mode for dessert.

After dinner we explored the ship some. Grown-Ups 2 and Ride Along were playing on the poolside Jumbotron (not appropriate for a 9 yr-old, IMO) so we retired to our room while our friends hit up the casino. My daughter was very happy the two kids channels on board were Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
TO BE CONTINUED (after catching up some more) with Guy's Burgers
, rain is a four-letter word and "Did you see who that was?"
She tripped over a suitcase and bumped into the entertainment center. I hear "I'm alright.....no, no, no, mommy I broke my glasses!" This was 7:40 in the evening. Her optometrist is in Wal-Mart, a 15 minute drive from home, they close at 8.
