A little trivia about those geese. 
 

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

So you are correct by Not Canadian Geese.  🤗

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

 

 

I tend to like these better, warmer surroundings. 😎

 

Cheers!

Happy Anniversary!!

People will ask me what am I going to do special on our anniversary.   I say nothing as I treat my wife special every day.  That is why we have been together 59 years.  I treasure every day being with her and everything we do is special.    But some days more be more special than others such as having a White Castle hamburger 🤪

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Good Morning from Nassau! This is getting repetitive, we were just here! 😂

 

 

Across from our cabin

 

Morning Rush Hour!

 

 

O looked this one up. It’s owned by a New York Attorney. It’s for sale for $62 million. 🤑

 

It was our last sail away from Ft Lauderdale for this year. 

 

Spent yesterday afternoon at the Sunset Bar. We were late leaving. 
look next to the tip bell and see who showed up. 

 

We started the evening at, well you know 🍸🍸. We got comments from the time we left our cabin to being at the Bar because we were a bit dressed up for our anniversary. 

 

Murano food and service was great. The vibe in the room not so good. I guess it’s first night sale on the cost so it was filled and loud. That’s all I’ll say about it. 
However our server was spot on and did a great job. Murano delivered a nice little cake to wish us the best.

 

Back to the cabin to change, keep the wardrobe comments down, to go to the show. A comedian last night and well attended. 
 

All on board at 3:30. Guess I’ll lose at cards again today! 🙄😂

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Thank you to all for the Anniversary Wishes!

 

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Finally got up to Sunset Bar and look who is docked behind us! Our last Ride……Beyond! 
 

Hi Captain Kate! 
 

 

Cheers! 

[mauimary]

Current situation! 
 

Been watching waves break all day and got some putting in. 
 

 

 

some additional pics of our views.

 

 

Beyond just left and Captain Kate tried to get a horn contest going but nobody wanted to play. 🙄

 

 

Tonight………Tuscan! 🤞

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Good Morning from a sea day! 
 

Yesterday was a busy departure from Nassau! I showed you Beyond but there were 4 other ships heading out. 

 

 

I thought this cloud formation with the sun was nice.

 

We headed to the Martini Bar ( surprised) before dinner at Tuscan. Sunset from the Martini Bar

 

On the way I noticed the entrance of Opus the MDR. If you are not in concierge class you waited here. 

 

If concierge you didn’t wait you entered here.

 

ok Tuscan……..drum role……….It was a good experience. Service and food good! 😀 The food was timely and the sauce on my meat balls was good. 👍 👏👏 Thank you Tuscan! 
 

on the way back we walked through the entrance to Ensemble, the bell is broken! 😂 no ding as we walk through. 
 

 

We picked up our A.D’s at the Martini Bar and headed to the cabin, exciting right? 
 

more to come…..

 

Cheers! 

 

 

[countess5]

I’m going to start this afternoon update with….

 

I Won at Cards!!! 🎉👏😂

 

Today was the Captains appreciation reception. It was well attended but they held it at 11:45 AM . We picked up a new Captain in Nassau, Captain Matt. 

 

The event was nice, drinks no food service. Close to lunch and the Oceanview cafe run! 

Rich our Cruise Director 

The house band, thanks for getting up early! They are good! Bristol Fashion. 
 

Of course there was a mimosa or two

 

The Senior officers reception is at 7:45 PM and it was that time last week. Weird time? We are having dinner. 

 

We learned at the event today that we are sailing at full capacity and Celebrity based on bookings are set to have its biggest year ever. Buy your stock! 
 

The top cruisers had 6,800+ points! 😳 Wow! We are just short of 1,000. I can’t imagine that number. Jim you know what it takes to get there. 

We spent the afternoon at the Sunset Bar. Thanks Oliver a fantastic server.

Then went up to the Sky lounge for some trivia, not a seat to be found! 🙄

So sitting next to the Martini Bar and people watching. 👀

 

Tonight’s show is Bob Brizendine, magic and comedy. Dinner Lawn Club Grill. 

Clocks were turned back an hour last night. Moving them forward after Cozumel.

 

Cheers! 

 

[Texed]

We have known Captain Matt a long time before he was a Captain.  An outstanding guy.  😊

Good Morning from Ocho Rios! 
 

 

Yesterday afternoon we went out to watch the sun set. People gathered on deck 5 balcony with cameras. 

 

As I walked out on the balcony the sun was setting over Cuba.

 

A gentleman turned to me and said we should stop for a mojito. He was from Cuba and as his picture was being taken with Cuba behind him he said “ I’ve been waiting 6 weeks to have this picture taken”. 
He reminded me of a friends father who came to the U S when Castro took control. He became very successful by owning many radio stations. 
36 years ago he invited Barbie and me on a cruise with the family. It was our first cruise ever and that’s where we caught the cruising bug. We passed Cuba on that cruise and he too looked at the island in a desire to be able to go back. His sister still lived there. 
 

Later it was up to The Lawn Club Grill. 

 

Great night with again great service! 

 

Then off to the show which turned out to be very good. The Magic and comedy was really good. 

 

 

This lady walked in late and he asked what drink she had. A Mojito she replied, He took it and drank the whole thing. 

 

Cheers!

[countess5]

An afternoon update…..it starts with, 

 

 

Yes a rainy day, but our first since we left. We had nothing planned anyway.

A few pics of what we have…

 

 

 

A returning excursion! 😩

 

So we went to Oceanview and had what you would have when in Jamaica….jerk chicken meat pie.

 

before lunch we did really what you do while in Jamaica, we went to the movies to watch Cool Runnings! The story of the Jamaican Bobsled Team! 😂😂 It was put out by Disney and I have to say I really enjoyed it. 
 

Oh, we learned during Rich’s morning show that this dock is known as the James Bond dock because this warehouse was used in a James Bond movie. He ran across the top of it. 

 

4:00 trivia coming up in the Sky Lounge where we have been playing cards.

 

Cheers!

I truly understand the Cuban gentleman’s nostalgia to see his country so near and yet so far away. 62 years ago at the age of 12 my parents made the ultimate sacrifice to put me alone in a plane to Miami to save me from communism .  We started cruising in 1972 and have cruised past the Cuban coast multiple times it always fills me with sadness and nostalgia to see what my beautiful and once prosperous country has become even though all my family was able to leave in the early 60s. Thanks for posting. By the way we saw you last week sitting outside of Murano as we were going in you both looked wonderful. Thanks for,sharing your posts with us.

We have tried to get someone to explain to us how the sounds are triggered and what determines which sounds occur in this area but no one on the crew we have spoken with have been able to tell us.  We even tried walking back and forth a couple of times to see if there was a pattern to it.  Never figured it out.
