Hope you made it home safe.

Thank you for taking of your time to

do this wonderful report and beautiful photos.

Can't wait till the next one.

 

Well, after 7 months of planning for our birthday 

cruise, which we were supposed to take a plane,

Tomorrow Thursday then the cruise on Friday.

I came down with COVID yesterday.  

My doctor told me today to quarantine.

So there goes our cruise.   So mad right now.

Incredible.

 

 

Oh noooooooooooooooo …. I am so sorry to hear that.  I hope you feel better soon!  Recover quickly!!!  Yikes!

Thanks! 😊

The job I'm working on right now has to be done and delivered by the 9th, so I'm putting in the extra hours so I can be right there with you at the check-in line at the pier! 😂

Wohooo!  The more the merrier!!!! 😂

We'll make sure they have enough food for your hollow leg and tapeworm since we'll be on the 1/3/23 sailing.  By the way Benny, 1/8/22 was when we were both on the Apex last year. 

That’s right!  Too bad we both can’t make it back on the APEX together!!  This year I only have one Celebrity cruise booked so far in May on the Apex!

DH and I will be celebrating our 40th anniversary on the 8th on Celebration. Thx for review. Cya on board!

Happy anniversary… perhaps you will be on stage for the Love and Marriage show?

I haven't been able to follow along with this one because I'm snowed under with work.

I'll catch up with it later on for sure.

In the meantime, safe travels home Benny and Happy New Year when it comes. 😊

Work is definitely more important!  Happy New Year !  Don’t miss the next one starting 1/8 😆

Thank you for the review I really enjoyed it.  I know you probably stated this in an earlier post but when is your next cruise?

I am back on the Celebration 1/8/22 so about 12 days?  😆

@BennyBrun....wow that cruise went by FAST!

 

Safe travels home, stay warm, you missed the artic blast while at sea!

Thank you so much!  Hopefully you are recovering well and will be back to warm weather soon!  See on the Celebration on the 8th

Day  9

Off the Celebration I go … self assist… off by 7:45AM … at the airport by 8 AM.  I moved my flight to the earlier flight so I can get home earlier.  I did pick up a dancing Carnival Hat that was on sale for $8.74!

Day 8

The other Playlist singers … if NCL performers ever come to work for Carnival they would quit on the first day… this would be too much work for them… I have never seen a harder working group of entertainers than the ones on Carnival.

Day 8

Next up Playlist Singers (ones from the theater) there are two sets of playlist singers.  The other one puts on shows at Center Stage.  Always entertainment for you somewhere.

Day 8

We are one

Day 8

We are One 

Day 8

Next up We are One a song / dance from different countries 

Day 8

Next Up 

the teens did a very nice presentation on the stage !

Day 8

If you like shows this was non stops from 7-8:45 pm

Different shows 

First up Lee had the crew members do a flag parade …

Day 8

I spent most of my day at the thermal suite.  I overheard there was a fight that broke out by the theater during the late night comedy hour and they had to stop the show for, no details but it made it to the VIFP on FB.

Day 8

Sea Day 

I did very little today … my biggest a accomplishment was making it to brunch.

Food looks so amazing,

 I'm assuming this is a specialty restaurant and

you have to pay extra.

On Excel Class ship Chibang is complimentary but the duck is an upcharge

Would you explain the duck for two a little more for me?  Do you just get the duck meat or do they make different dishes with it?  If you were at a table with 4 people could you share with the table and then order other items to fill in the meal for everyone?

So there’s a two minimum so I paid $40.00.

 You can ask them to stir fry or cut the duck up.  The duck was so good and crispy I had them cut it up to eat it as it.  I can’t say if you have 4 people if all 4 need to participate or not because I did not ask.  You can certainly order other items from the menu.

Do you feel like it is super packed?  

I feel it is very crowded and packed.  Lines at most places during peak time but there are places to hide as well.  You really have to manage.  I am perfectly okay with this because this is what cruising is about!  No complaints here!

Of course.  You had to fill the big toe of your hollow leg.

Can't believe you had surf n turf plus a duck for two for Christmas dinner.

It’s Christmas 🎄… it only happens once a year 😂
