I thought I might be able to talk about some of the musicians onboard since we spent 3 weeks on the Reflection in February. The Acoustic Duo, called Time Machine Duo, is excellent. I know they leave sometime in May but I'm not sure of the date. The solo guitarist, Ge, is also wonderful. He may still be there, based on when he started his contract. We spent many hours listening to both. The House Band and the Quartet have both changed so I can't comment on them. We love the lounge acts on Celebrity. Have a wonderful cruise!

So happy to see a new live report from you. Love reading about your adventures and seeing your beautiful pictures. Wishing you smooth sailing!

I know exactly how you feel because I feel the same way. I recognize all those names! The Summit is my favorite ship. Since we live 90 miles south of NYC we've sailed on her many times and are sad to see her gone.

Hi, Charla! I'm so sorry for your family's loss and of, course, your continued problems preventing Jeremy from cruising with you. I have followed several of your trips a few months back, but recently have taken a break from my obsession with Cruise Critic. I checked back 2 days ago since my husband and I are booked on a B2B2B Reflection cruise starting Feb 3. I was so excited to see that you would be sailing on the first leg. I will definitely introduce myself and say hello. You will love Hato Caves. We did it on our last cruise and I actually considered doing it again. Snorkeling in Bonaire is the best, we've done it with Woodwind as someone else mentioned.

Let me add my thanks for taking us along on your recent Bermuda trip. Loved all the pictures and stories you shared so we could travel along. You made it seem like we were onboard with you. Plus, your sense of humor is delightful. ( in addition to your sense of style😉) Wishing you many more peaceful and relaxing days ahead! Mary Ann

Thank you for sharing this very personal moment. I believe there may be other people who benefit from hearing that same message today. God bess both you and Phelesia.

Where is everyone?

Now the relaxation starts! Well, as soon as you walk up that gangway! Hope embarkation goes smoothly. Can't wait to follow along!

Thank you so much! I was so disappointed when I found out we were missing her by one day. We sailed with her for 3 weeks and had so many interesting conversations. Have a great night!

Yes, they are fabulous, too! They sometimes took care of us at breakfast. And Mariana is just the sweetest and handles her role as hostess so well. She seems to be able to keep everyone happy. And Serkan certainly keeps you laughing. I know it's your last night but I was wondering if you encountered an assistant waiter named Jen. We spent lots of time chatting with her 2 cruises ago. Someone told us she was returning the day we got off the ship. Please tell her David and Mary Boyd hope she's well. Enjoy every minute of your last day! It;s always nice to have your next cruise planned before you leave the ship.

Happy Birthday, Beth! Enjoy your day! Can't wait to hear how you celebrated.

I've never had one of key lime martinis so it's going on the list. Thanks!

Also wondering who your waiter is. I know they usually try to sit you with the same one. We had Irwan and Fika taking care of us. Loved them, but the whole staff is great! Enjoy your first day in Bermuda!

Okay, back to the Summit! Wondering if these 2 guys are onboard now. Nandha was our sommelier in October 2022. Viskas served us in May. I'm thinking Viskas may have gone home. Both took such good care of us. Loved our chats!

My husband taught middle school general music for about half his career. He did start 4th graders on instruments for 2 years, though, and thus conducted an elementary band of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. He fondly remembers a group of 4th grade girls he started on the saxaphone. They were so excited and wanted to play all the time. So he would use his lunch hour to give them extra playing time. For the other half of his career he worked as a school psychologist. One day he got a call from one of those little girls, asking if he would mentor her as she pursued her degree in school psychology. She worked as his intern for a year. It was one of the highlights of his career. A career in education has so many challenges but a multitude of rewards. WE both felt very fortunate in our careers. We live in Bucks County. Where are you from in PA?
