New Years Eve
December 31, 2007 on 10:24 pm | In Celebrity Cruise, Cruises, travel | No CommentsWe would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year and a prosperous new year in 2008. We just returned from Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas. It is a very warm sunny day and we have decided to rest by the pool for the next several hours before celebrating this evening. Spent last night with some of the group again listening to the music and comedy of Perry Grant piano player extraordinaire! Smooth sailing from Puerto Rico got my hair cut in the beauty shop this am before departing the ship. Tonight is of course a formal night with a gala celebration outside on the pool deck. Something different than we normally do. so Happy New Year to all!!!!!
Gala Evening
December 30, 2007 on 10:16 pm | In Celebrity Cruise, Cruises, travel | No CommentsLast evening was the first of 3 formal nights on this cruise. The ship always seem so much more festive when everyone is dressed in their finest. Following a wonderful dinner we attended the Toast with the Captain one of the traditions of sailing the high seas. We then were treated to a wonderful show by the singers and dancers highlighting many Broadway shows. Their performances are really very good and entertaining. Joe and I then stopped in the Michael’s Club for a nightcap and were delightfully entertained by Perry Grant with songs for the past and a name that tune trivia contest. Great Fun and a pleasant way to spend the evening. We have had a lazy morning and are shortly to arrive in San Juan. We don’t intend to do much but take a tour of the Bacardi factory and perhaps sample a bit of rum. The seas are a bit choppy and it is very windy on deck but the sun is finally shinning and it is great just to lay back and relax as we sail along.
On the seas
December 29, 2007 on 11:46 pm | In Celebrity Cruise, Cruises, travel | No CommentsHello out there – as promised I am writing to let you know how the cruise is going. We sailed yesterday from Ft Lauderdale at 430PM and had a smooth night. I always finding sleeping on a cruise ship to be very peaceful with the gentle rocking of the ship. We are now heading for San Juan and will arrive tomorrow afternoon. Joe and I plan on visiting the Bacardi Factory to taste some of the local spirits as well as a walk around the old town. The welcome show last night was quite good with a large group of singers and dancers. A few stops in the casino have not netted me any gains but I will keep trying. The weather is beautiful hot in the low 80’s but with a brisk wind on deck. The ship the Constellation a Celebrity Cruise Ship is lovely decorated in warm colors with beautiful decor. Joe attended a talk presented on the upcoming national election and the negative an positive ads that we will be subjected to over the next 9 months. Look for more information tomorrow after our stop in San Juan.
