Hi Carol and Norris - I love birds too. Most of my winter photography is birds. One of our stops in our 2025 Cruise is Cartagena. We start planning well in advance and have been watching lots of YouTubes. We have been to Cartagena before. The sail in is so beautiful. I loved your photos Norris. The amazing sky was very cooperative as well. We did an Old City tour with Dora. It was a great tour. It’s not a place we’d be comfortable walking around on our own. The sellers were relentless. Mostly they took a No gracias 🙏 and moved on but a small group of rappers followed one couple in our group for close to 1/2 hour. I guess they made eye contact. To get to the point, I was considering the bird sanctuary. Now I just have to show Ken all the beautiful pictures. I really want to go there and I did notice it is being offered as a Celebrity Shore Excursion. Thanks Carol. Maris

Another great report, Norris. Takes me back to our first cruise ever. I think it was 2017. The winds were so high we missed our first stop. It was one of those cruise line islands, and we’ve still never been to one. I don’t feel we’ve missed anything. We cruise to discover new places. Our first stop was Falmouth and we did make it in. We enjoyed a food tasting walking tour. Ii’m sorry to hear that Carol has also come down with Covid. I hope Paxlovid does the trick for her as well. Take care. Maris

Looking at ABC island cruise on Reflection next year...
Marvy Mare replied to Not a username2's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Hi. We did the ABC Cruise on the Reflection in 2020. If you expand my signature you can find my photo review 11 Night Ultimate Caribbean Cruise Photo Review - Celebrity Reflection. We enjoyed it so much we are doing ABC plus Panama on the Beyond in 2025. -
I’m sure the Paxlovid will do the trick for you. Worked for us. I’m looking forward to the Panama Canal portion of your cruise. We sail part way through it on our 2025 Beyond ABC Panama Cruise. Someone added a note to my roll call about a bad experience with a Panama Celebrity shore excursion. I’m hoping your experience will be better.

Bimmer 09 sails APEX to Iceland June 2023
Marvy Mare replied to Bimmer09's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We saw Uptown on a former Celebrity Cruise. A friend on our cruise, named Janet Jackson and her husband met some members of the group later in Ocean View Cafe. The group members were so taken with her name that they texted friends to tell them that they were sailing with Janet Jackson. Maris -

We weren’t planning to try any specialty restaurants on our future Beyond cruise, but it looks like Eden is worth the extra cost. Love those food pictures. I’m inspired to start practicing. Maris -

Hi Norris I thought you review would be starting soon. My brother alerted me this morning. Looking forward to following along. I’m interested in your impressions of the Edge class ships. We have booked a future vacation on the Beyond but weren’t able to get a Sunset view cabin. Maris -

OK - I can't resist. One of the reasons we enjoy being home. And our town of Peterborough, ON was the first city in Canada to get the temperature above 30 C this year. That happened yesterday. Spring in Ontario. There is the possibility of snow Monday evening. Sunrise this morning over the field behind our house. Now I'm really done. I'm going to get out and enjoy another beautiful day in the Kawarthas. Thanks again to those who followed this report! Maris

I know. I don't know if we even really flew over Toronto. We did circle over Mississauga a few times if my memory serves me. I'm sure Toronto is beautiful from the air but Mississauga, not so much. We lived there at one time. The first mayor of Mississauga, before Hazel was a neighbour and a friend of my parents. Maris
