That would be the very same...Lizz.  In fact, they were photographing him at the table with his pants down... I also happen to observe him riding on the back of one of the trolleys at Matzalan with is pants around his ankles as they drove up to the gangway... There were two service men, a customs agent, and one Carnival official and not one ...
