Not sure exactly what information you are looking for, but would post it if I have it

 

 

 

I believe they have a small booklet that you can carry around that shows the location of the places on the ship and which deck they are on I had one on the reflection I hope that helps!! I appreciate your response to my post hope your enjoying your self

 

 

I think what you're talking about is the little booklet when you check in that holds your sea passes at some of the ships have a fold out map of the decks. I don't believe that this cruise had that in our seapass holder

Very impressed with the epitaph on the tombstone at the cemetery. Such humor!

Okay, on with the trip report.

 

After filling up with the Cuban and plantains, we made our way to South Beach. Not very inviting with all the sea weed here.

Then we made our way up Duval Street. It is great that they have the menus for places posted outside, but don't you hate it when they don't include the prices.[emoji15]

What is a trip to Key West without encountering some of the wild life.

View of Duval Street.

We made our way up to Willie T's with all the dollar bills fastened everywhere.

We stopped at the Crazy Shirt Store to pick up a T-shirt. These are much better than the $5 T-shirts you will find in many shops, but expect to pay around $40 for one here. I started buying them from this chain in Hawaii back in the 70's, and they have always worn well. Then on to Sloppy Joes. Looks like the place was filled from our ship.

Stopped by the Hogs Breath Saloon.

The Conch Tour Train was stopped across the street.

Some of the art work around the Key West Art and Historical Society building just off the pier. They must change these out quite often, because they were all different from the last time we were in Key West.

I guess it is time to post the Daily for Key West.

And the shopping map.

Made the map a little bigger so it is readable.

Back on the ship, beautiful views from the deck.

Tonight's menu was the the Top Chef at Sea.

Redfish with BBQ shrimp.

Not much we liked on the desert menu.

So we stopped at Cafe al Bacio for a nicer selection.

Our day in Key West came to an end with a relaxing night watching Deep Water Horizon on the Rooftop Terrace.

 

Total miles for the day = 14.16

Wednesday was our first, and only sea day. Up early and to the gym, then Ocean View Cafe for our standard of omelets, lattes, and Bloody Mary's.

 

Here are the Dailys for Wednesday.

Are there any free venues similar to the Cafe Promenade on Royal?

Probably the Cafe al Bacio is closest. They have breakfast pastries in the morning and deserts in the afternoon/evening. All of those are free. They only charge for drinks. Drinks were included in our premium package.

 

Venues are somewhat limited on the smaller ship. They have nothing like Park Cafe on the Allure or Oasis.

Our sea day is when our CC group would get together for a slot pull. Usually, on less than seven day cruises, there will not be an official meet and greet. However, on Tuesday, Celebrity put a notice on the bulletin board that they would host a M&G for the CC folks at Revelations at 9:30 this morning. Too bad not many people check the bulletin board. One of our CC members told us about it when they saw us in the pool. In any event, there were just two of us there.

Looks pretty empty.

More photos from the ship this morning.

There is a big difference if you are running the track on the Summit.

Compared to the Oasis on Royal Caribbean.

The Rooftop terrace has a lift if you can't climb the steps.

The movie screen and sound was good whenever we were there.

The seating was somewhat limited.

Other photos of the terrace.

Or, you could take a picture of the directory by the elevators.

The morning of the sea day was our slot pull. We had 18 of the 27 who signed up show up for the slot pull. Everyone invested $20, but in the end, we had nothing.

 

Note to self. Do not play this machine.

We had the same kind of luck anytime we played on this cruise. This is what we had left from all our investments.

Guess i can't cash it in now.

Since this was our sea day, it was also "Evening Chic" night. This was the first cruise I did not pack my tux, and DW did not pack a long gown. There wasn't a big difference in what people were wearing for Smart Casual night vs. Evening Chic night.

 

They chose to place many of the things we like on the menu for tonight.

And they decorated in a fashion, that for some reason, made me think back to some college toga parties.

It was a night to try out one of the Blue Wave Martinis.

So what to order. No problem, order two meals. I had the duck and the lobster, and DW had the lamb and the lobster.

 

Duck

Lobster

Lamb

Our Sommelier kept the wine glass filled.

 

The lamb was a little tough, so I would not recommend it.

Marvelous review....I am enjoying my cruise all over again! :D

[smurf1635]

Were there movies every night? During the day? Newer movies?

Great review! I love all the photos. We're sailing on Summit on February 18. We've been on her before many years ago and can't wait to get back to the smaller ship. The M class is definitely my favorite.

There were movies in the afternoon and in the evening. They were not ones currently in the theaters, but they are fairly new. You can see the ones they ran during our cruise on page 3 of the Dailys each day. You may need to zoom in on your device to read them.

 

They didn't serve popcorn though. That is one thing I like about Princess Movies under the Stars. I did grab some nachos and cheese one night from the Oceanview Cafe to eat during the movie. Just go aft behind the seating area and take the two steep flights down, and they are just inside the Oceanview entrance from the bar.

Finishing off the Evening Chic night, a little Creme brûlée for desert.

Then some more desert?? A banana split martini is a desert, right?

Had to try a drink called Loss of Words to see it it lived up to the name, while we spent the evening at the Rendezvous Bar.

Total miles for the day on the ship = 10.31

Tomorrow - Coco Cay.
