Glad to hear your having a good cruise.  Question, have you by chance seen a crew member by the name of Taz (from Turkey).  Before the virus hit, he was on Edge & he's a bar server. Thanks.  Hoping he's still working with Celebrity. 

 

Taz is at the Eden Bar with your drink prepared and waiting before you can find a seat.

Thanks everyone for all the information! Does anyone know how long Captain Kate will be on the Edge before her first shore break? Sailing a B to B 8/28th and 9/4th and hoping she will still be on. 

They do 3 month rotations. So June-August most likely.

She COULD be--it really depends when her rotation officially started.

She's 3 months on and 3 months off, I believe she'll be both your sailings since she started on June 26th

Thank you both for your feedback! I knew about the 3 month on and off, just didn’t know when the clock started for her this assignment, as she was on the Edge early to quarantine and prepare for the initial sailing. Was hoping someone onboard would be able to find out. Thanks!

It’s hard to believe it’s over and yet it feels like this was a long week. I still can’t believe we’re back to cruising but it was so easy to find my sea legs again. I noticed a lot of people this week saying it was their first time on a Celebrity ship but I wonder if there were any first time cruisers that were just itching for something to do? At the end of the day weren’t we all itching for something to do?

 

Despite staying up for 75 minutes of epic silent disco action last night, I did manage to drag myself out of bed for my last Peloton reservation this morning. This might be the most I’ve ever worked out on a cruise. I did do the 5k thing at Castaway Cay with DCL a few years back but I digress.

 

Breakfast and lunch were in the buffet today – still one of the weaker parts of this sailing in my opinion. Breakfast was fine – just fine, but I wish it was better as I really love breakfast. Lunch was so random. There were mountains of focaccia bread, a gravlax station and a chocolate fountain. It’s like someone spun a mystery wheel to decide what to serve.

 

After a couple of trips to the casino and a nap it was dinner time again. We returned to Cosmopolitan and were seated at the same table as last night. Our server these past two days (oh please don’t ask me I’m terrible with names – Myron I think) was great and even apologized for service being slow yesterday. I didn’t think it was that bad but I appreciate him being self-aware. The sommelier has grown on me, although after five nights of ordering the same champagne I don’t really need a sample, especially from an open bottle.

 

Of course now it’s packing time and mentally preparing for the mountain of laundry that awaits my Saturday afternoon. Like I mentioned yesterday we’re planning to self-disembark which means an early start to the day. Thankfully Café al Bacio opens at 6:00. They’re seriously the best team on the ship hands down. The servers are so kind, the baristas are great, the atmosphere of the café is welcoming. I’ll miss my twice/thrice-daily jolt (ugh, it doesn’t sound so good when you say that out loud).

 

Don’t worry, I’ve packed the dailies to pop in when we get home. I’ll also probably take a few days to gather my final thoughts because if this all sounds like rambling then that will seem like a soup sandwich.

 

I’m off for one last ice cream before cozying up with my book and getting some sleep (sorry pixiedust777). Sure, I should probably be drinking my body weight in pre-paid booze for the next three hours but that’s just not my style. For those that were onboard with me, thanks for chiming in on this report. For those of you boarding tomorrow, welcome and I hope we left it in good shape for you!

elf426, this has been a great read - we'll be there on 8-28 🙂 🙂 

We will, too. Thanks so much for these on board updates, Elf426. Really enlightening, fair and detailed.

We were on the 6/26 cruise and I asked her since we will be back in September. She said her sign off date is supposed to be September 18th.

Oh, thank you so much.  He was such a good server.  He was at the Martini Bar when we sailed on Silhouette & we never forgot him.  Hoping to sail with him again at some point.  Hope you had a great cruise & thanks again for letting us know.

Wait a minute...You're trying to apply logic???

I think that the reasoning behind the vaxxed passengers receiving the bracelets is because, an unvaxxed passenger could take his/her bracelet off & walking around as though unvaccinated.
