Spring Break I’m sure. 🙄

It is "March Break" in Ontario so I'm sure some Canadian kids are included in that total of 500 lol.  

Btw thank you for all of your great photos!

Of the 500 will include my 2 y/o (spouse and I are both 30). Canadians call it spring break too - we are from BC and really looking forward to it. We are hopeful we’re welcomed on as guests the same way all others who paid fairly for their tickets are. See you next week!

Good Morning from St Maarten! 
 

 

What a night at dinner during sail away! 
 

We started at the Martini Bar. In all of our cruises we had never sat at the bar. Last night we changed that. 

 

 

Arie had some fun while taking our picture! Not sure why it’s upside down? 🤔

 

We have over many years rented villas on St Thomas. My favorite time of day was always early evening. After being in the sun all day the temperature lowers and it just gets nice with the lights on the island coming on. We were at the Lawn Grill and it did not disappoint!

 

While we were having dinner the moon came up in the sky. What a few. The picture doesn’t do it justice.

 

 

Wonder of the seas left before us. 

 

For some reason it stopped and we past it, but it’s in port with us today.  

 

Gym this morning then off the ship! 
 

More to come…. Of course!

 

Cheers!

Mid day update,

 

Question and see who’s this, we moved our clocks a head one hour second night. When we return on Sunday it’s daylight savings time so at least most of the country has moved their clocks a head an hour. Do we change time before returning? 🤔

 

Today was refueling day! We can get back.

 

Jumped off for a beer at..,, who knows this little spot? 

 

and finally, don’t know why, just had one of my favorite beers. 

I know people like Red Stripe and it’s good just like the Carib. 
 

Guess what,  they keep the glass clean on this ship clean! Once again during our morning balcony. 🙄

 

Up at Sunset Bar and will be going down soon. We have a mixology music affair for Captains Club. This should be interesting. 
 

more to come…….

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

One more thing! 
 

The lawn is getting watered. 😂😂😂

 

Cheers!

Many school districts in Florida have Spring break next week too.

[countess5]

Update…..

Sky's have turned angry! No rain but it looks bad. 
 

 

Cheers!

Looks like a great time to be sitting on your balcony versus walking along the shoreline ashore. 

Maybe it's time to go to the Martini Bar and see if you can get a 'picture of martini's' to go? 

 

 

hmmm, I have a large water bottle, I wonder if they would fill that up for me with cucumber martini? - maybe something to try on our next cruise.

We made it! After the Elite and higher mixology event. More on that tomorrow!

Good Morning from Sea! 
 

Things are moving a bit this morning. 
 

 

We have hit some rougher seas last night. 
 

We started last night at the new Mixology Event. They invite Elite and higher to a music and Mixology gathering. It’s hosted by the activity director. I would say it was well attended. 

 

The house band was there. 

 

They make 3 drinks and when each ingredient to read out to be mixed one of band player starts to play until the total band is playing. 

 

We started with champagne as we walked in. 

 

Then a Manhattan 

 

A pricy Primms cocktail? 

 

Ended with a Mai Tai

 

While we drank each one the bartender during the song put on a Martini Bar performance. 
 

 

All in all not a bad event.

 

Dinner at Murano. Again the staff did a great job. 
 

 

 

On the way back to the cabin we came across Majority rules. 

 

Inside day today, playing Deal or no Deal. Not going to be like the last time! 🙄

 

Cheers!

No, you will not change your clocks back.  Reflection docks on Sunday morning after the Spring Forward will have been done by the East Coast.

Afternoon update….

Getting ready for dinner. 
Wanted to share that on consecutive cruises this ship does not hold a meeting. The debarkation information is just left at your cabin.

I never received a letter about a meeting and what to do on Sunday was at my cabin this morning. 
I went to guest relations to see if I missed the meeting and that’s where I learned there is no meeting, just that the info is left at your cabin. 
 

For first timers that must be a challenge, especially if you have to change cabins. 
 

on to dinner, but of course Martini Bar first! 
 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Good Morning from the last day at sea! Next stop Ft Lauderdale 

 

Was woken up this morning with a code star in Luminae. We are hoping all will be ok. 🙏🏻

 

Nothing happened during Deal or no Deal yesterday. Playing again today. 🤞

 

Pretty quiet yesterday afternoon. The ship was rocking and we had high winds so played cards in the Sky lounge, lost again! 🥲

 

They held music and general knowledge which we enjoyed. Headed to dinner and you know where we stopped on the way. 😂🍸

 

It was Tuscan Grille, well not good. It wasn’t the food this time it was the pace of the kitchen. The restaurant wasn’t any fuller than normal. We had a 7 PM reservation. From the time we ordered it was a half hour before our appetizers arrived and an hour for the main course. Very very slow. 
 

Ended the night in Ensemble to listen to Chloe and enjoy a 43. 
 

Fitness Center was this morning. While working out watched The Wonder sail along with us. 
 

more to come…..

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Good Morning from Ft Lauderdale! The start of our last leg and entering our 7th week!

 

Today we are also celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary!! Dinner in Murano!

 

Yesterday we played Deal or no Deal again. Over between the two times we played we won $40 of slot play! 🙄 

 

Before we went to Deal or No Deal we got our normal mimosas and sat in the Grand Foyer. We were looking at the red rose. We decided there needs to be a new game, you know how you guess the widget of the sculpture? We thought there should be a game where you guess what Celebrity paid for the rose. 🤔

 

While we were discussing this I was looking closely at the rose. If you look at the left side you will see something there.Look close to the reflection on it. 

 

I went down for a closer look and guess what I found? 
 

 

😂😂😂😂🙄

 

After the game it was up to Sky Lounge for cards ( yes I lost again ) and to listen to the trivia. The activities person did an outstanding job! Getting people up to dance and lots of laughs!

 

 

Down to the cabin to get ready for dinner and of course a stop at the Martini bar.

 

Dinner was at Le Petit Chef.

This was our 5th time over the years but we do enjoy it and the meal was great. Our waiter has been with Celebrity for 20 years and was outstanding. He agreed that he would like to see Qsine come back part time. He misses the interaction. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

more to come…..

 

Cheers!

Happy Anniversary!
Hope you enjoy a wonderful day and a delicious dinner at Murano. Thank you again for keeping us posted on your extended travels! 🚢  🍸

[countess5]

The transition this morning was very efficient and short! I think there were less than 80. Sitting at the Sunset Bar with mimosas! 
 

After dinner it was off to the casino to burn our $40 free play and the $80 OBC we had left over. Wheel of Fortune, Barbie likes. We lasted 45 minutes and then it was time, not by our choice the slot machine said it’s over! 🙄 to head back to Martini Bar for an Expresso Martini. Barbie had a chocolate Martini. 

 

On our walk up to the Sunset Bar today we had a fly over!

 

Not Canadian Geese like we are use to. 
 

people will be boarding so just relaxing in the shade! 
 

Cheers!

A little trivia about those geese. 
 

The correct name is Canada Goose or Canada Geese depending on the amount of them. 

 

https://www.tnonline.com/20210416/a-goose-by-any-other-name/8

 

So you are correct by Not Canadian Geese.  🤗

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
