This is a great summary! Thank you! We are on Meraviglia now. We used our 1 hour free pass and we are glad we did not pay the $130 for the week. I believe the pass is definitely worth it on Seaside, but not on Meraviglia. I really missed the aromatherapy showers in this Thermal area, as well as the outdoor seating with hot tub that they have on Seaside.

My Favorite View: End of Day 4 - At Sea

Daily Planner: Day 4 - At Sea

Since there was a comedian in lieu of a show, we skipped it to spend time in the pub. Craig from South Africa does an amazing job here and we will be back any chance we get! I tried the Cherry Orchard, which was very good - definitely one I will have again at some point.

Not many at all. We see maybe 3-5 people a day with masks.

Dinner Menu:

Dinner in Panorama (MDR): Everything in these pictures was very good and I can really recommend the Lamb! DS loved the meatloaf.

Captain Giuseppe andBeautiful Monica, Cruise director:

Today was the Welcome Back Party on the Galleria Meraviglia. TIP: Show up at least 15 minutes early. They allowed people into the roped off area early and we just barely got the last table for 3 in the Meraviglia bar.

We ventured to lunch in the buffet despite the ‘sea day’ crowds. It was still not too bad and we were able to find a table outside at the back of the buffet again. Some views of the busy ship: Main pool This looks like a nice spot to view the ocean if you don’t have a balcony - it is on deck 18 close to the Horizon Bar. Horizon pool:

Thank you for sharing! As someone who can eat Dolce de Leche straight from the can, it is definitely not sweet enough 😂

Not only a great view, but a soothing sound: IMG_8247.MOV

I had planned on buying some cosmetics tax free on the ship, but noticed the prices are more than on land when I order directly from Estée Lauder. So, I will wait and see what the prices are on Celebrity Reflection next month. The galleria dome: Dome Show: World Tour It is interesting that the done shows have not changed in 3 years.

Breakfast in the MDR:

That wake view, a little later:

I hope you don’t get tired of my wake view!! We spent much of the day on the balcony. This cruise has a strong “spring break” feel to it. As mentioned before, there are over 1,000 kids and teens on our sailing. They don’t bother us - in fact one of my favorite events of the day involved watching little ones have fun on the dance floor. It is just that every public space can get very crowded with this many children and teens, because they are all attached to many adults 😜 I started the day with coffee and a snack on the balcony for room service - I personally think the room service coffee is the best free coffee at sea:

My View: Day 4 - At Sea

Yesterday, our “at sea day”, the internet was very poor - the worst we have had at sea in many years. I don’t know if it was just overwhelmed with such a large passenger crowd, or what? I will start posting soon about these last 2 days, but wanted to skip ahead to share this development from today… Christmas trees are shooting up here and there! 🙂

Ah, so it may change to something else? Interesting…

Thank you for sharing about the snorkeling by the rocks! 😎 Yes, we noticed Family Cove, but it was still roped off and closed when we were there.

My View: End of Day 3 - Ocean Cay THEN and NOW December 2019: November 2022: Crew Quarters: Wedding Pavilion Area: Bridge to North Island

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Daily Program Day 3: Ocean Cay

Show: BORN TO ROCK The performers knocked this one out of the park! It is hard to believe this is the same group that we saw the first night. Tonight’s performance was close to perfection (minus a malfunctioning mic at the beginning). It was one of the best performances I have seen at sea! I had goosebumps several moments during the show, it was so good. I would love for this young lady to take on a Reba McIntyre song - especially “You Lie!” Her voice is stunning! Views of the show:
