I share your withdrawal! After @Jim_Iain and @JamieLogical finished their wonderful reports, I kept hoping for a couple more live reviews to get me through the final stretch until I step onboard on Saturday. Glad I can help fill the void for others!

This is the kids club schedule from a 4-night on Millennium this past March. If you download the celebrity app and select a current or upcoming sailing, you can also see the daily schedule and there’s an option to filter it to see only activities and all the family activities offered in other parts of the ship (photo safaris, camp outs on the lawn, family movies, etc.) are listed. My daughter is a little older (9) but she LOVED the kids club and would get disappointed when I came to pick her up to spend some time with me (it actually hurt my pride a little bit lol). We made friends with a family sailing with a 5 year old boy and they had great things to say about it as well. I also did a full review of our cruise with pictures of the kids club and details on the kid experience onboard. Sharing a link in case you’re interested!

Welcome Back to Celebrity! Yes definitely come say hi! One of my favorite parts of solo cruising is meeting so many new people. Although my husband also says that even when we sail together, by day 5 I know everyone on the ship. 😂

Looking forward to sailing with you! I hope to meet you onboard. I fly down Friday morning on a red eye from St. Louis. Fingers crossed for smooth travels for us all!

Thank you Jim! Oh and thank you for your fabulous report on your spring Silhouette journey. I’m so sorry that your trip had a rough ending . You should definitely try a solo sailing sometime! That is if Iain will stand for being left behind!

Hello My Dear CC Friends! Guess what I’m doing in 3 days? Flying to Florida to sail away again on the Equinox! Anybody in the mood for another GenX live review? When last we spoke (at the end of Gen Z and I’s wonderful mother-daughter Millennium cruise in March), I was due to stay on land until hubby and I sail together again in late July. But then came a series of both fortunate and unfortunate spring events including… 1) An extremely stressful several weeks at work which ended with me FINALLY closing a deal that I’d been losing sleep/meals over for over a year; 2) An Omicron outbreak rearing it’s ugly head at Gen Z’s school and then making its way to my home (fortunately thanks to vaccines Gen Z and I had only mild cold symptoms and hubby, who had fresh booster immunity, never tested positive) taking us all back to the days of lockdown; 3) A nice surprise on our tax refund thanks to our brilliant accountant; and 4 ) A very reasonable reduced solo supplement fare for a last minute 8 night Caribbean cruise booking! By the time I got wind of said fare deal, the ship was completely sold out for aqua and suites (been a while since I’ve seen that, oh well, half full ships were fun while it lasted) so I’ll be sailing in a concierge class stateroom this time. Concierge rooms weren’t priced too much higher than basic verandas so I decided it was worth spending a little more to have an included sit down lunch at embarkation, the free bottle of bubbly to drink while I pack on the last day, and 16 extra Captains Club points. I was on Equinox just last November visiting the ABC islands, but this cruise has an entirely different itinerary. Our ports this time will be Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Tortola and Nassau. Stay tuned for a separate post shortly about my plans while onboard and ashore. I booked during a sale where upgraded internet, premium beverage package and OBC was included in fare so I will be indulging in lots of specialty dining and a few excursions. As always please feel free to jump in and ask any questions and let me know if there’s anything in particular onboard that folks would like info on. I’ll of course be thorough when it comes to sharing reports on and pics of food, drink and nightlife. Looking forward to taking everyone along on another cruise!

For my 8 night Caribbean cruise next month, I’m only booking Celebrity excursions, or going off the ship at all, during the second half of the cruise. Both of the Celebrity excursions are outdoor excursions but will require a short bus ride which I plan to wear a KN95 on whether required or not. I figure it would take at least another day/day and a half after the fact for someone who was deemed healthy enough to be on my excursion to end up needing testing, testing positive and to be identified as a close contact of that passenger and quarantined. By then it’ll be night 6 or 7, and I’m pretty much starting to pack my bags anyway.
