+5.0 yes indeed we most definitely fast tomorrow. 

 

-4.2 for the month of January at least I guess.

Brussels Sprouts? For breakfast? Now that really is ludicrous.

[jam19872016]

Final coffee. 

 

 

Free coffee? He didn't ring my card 🤔

Leftover surprise 😆.

Too noisy in my quiet spot today in ensemble lounge. Crew vacuuming, some kind of banging going on outside, and too many chatty Kathy's.

 

Moved to the hideaway, still not super quiet but feels a little more secluded.

I love sprouts, but ugh. There is a disgusting dish that people make over here with Christmas dinner leftovers, such as sprouts, called bubble and squeak. It reminds me of that.

Is that chair more comfortable than it looks?

I tried that for the first time recently and enjoyed it. Never used to like Brussel sprouts now I eat them all the time 😋

Yes and no. More than it looks, but I still couldn't sit in it. The chair I'm sitting in in the opposite side is much more comfy.

Not Craig, but I won't tell 🤭.

 

Put some champagne goggles on and close one eye I'm seeing you across the aisle though 😆.  You looked pretty disinterested in that picture, but when simply the best came on, her and not Craig hit the dance floor.

Those goggles must be mighty thick.

are there any good spots outside with an ocean view? in the shade. We are in an inside cabin this time, so no balcony seclusion for me.... 😞

How big of a deal breaker are the glass railings? There aren't many spots with unobstructed views.

[jam19872016]

Rehearsals for tonight's show now in grand foyer. Lost my quiet spot.

Promenade Deck 5. Port or Starboard.

none at all. Just want some fresh air and a more or less quiet spot (shouldn't be a problem on Celebrity in general, but we are cruising during Spring Break). It's for reading. 🙂

Lots of shaded seating just above the pool deck.

 

 

 

 

 

It's not going to be extremely secluded as you will be right above whatever is going on at the pool deck below.

 

They also have a few seats back by the sunset bar under shade that's a little more secluded. Overhead music is pretty loud here right now.

Yes! Good choice and quieter than the top decks.

I love that song! Well, I love Queen's music in general.

is loud music blaring at the pool deck all the time? some of the time? during the day on sea days, that is.

 

We've been on some ships before with some deafeningly loud pool adjacent music.... It was a torture.

Will you verify if the Promenade deck is 4 or 5? Brain fart!  

[jam19872016]

Deck 5 Starboard.

OOOPs. Make that deck 5, port and starboard.

It has generally been turned down this sailing. Not today for some reason. I have found Celebrity passengers to be quieter and less rowdy, but the background noise to be almost as loud as Carnival and Royal Caribbean. 

 

I've grown used to it, but I was surprised how loud it was my first time on Celebrity. 

 

The noise is inside too. They have those beautiful areas to sit in both The Hideaway and Library but they are open to the Foyer and they become unusable for sitting amd relaxing any time in the evening as there is either an event or a DJ. 

 

Unusable on sea days as there is an art auction or trivia event most of the day. Basically only good on port days....unless rehearsals are taking place.

 

It's a beautiful ship and I'm having a great time, but quiet it is not.

[jam19872016]

Promenade deck is definitely your best bet for quiet reading spot. There is background music still for some odd reason, but it is turned down low and it is overall much quieter and relaxed out here.

 

When in motion you will also get the sounds of the ocean.

[jam19872016]

Cafe al bacio treats. Included and always so tasty.
