Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2015 When I asked my wife which was her favorite cruise , she didn't hesitate . The April , 2009 Transatlantic crossing on the Celebrity Constellation . It was a great cruise with beautiful weather , a calm sea , and a lovely aft facing cabin . Our first and only cruise on Celebrity , it included a nice mixture of port days and relaxing days at sea , on a fairly empty ship , and all at a great price . Our dream vacation . So in an effort to recapture that great cruise , we booked the April 21 cruise from Miami to London , that had a similar itinerary on the Celebrity Eclipse . So come with us now as we relive this trip using photos , videos and the printed word . Now I don't pretend to be a professional photographer , but I do enjoy taking photos . And like Rod Stewart , I believe that " every picture tells a story " , and so I'll be using lots of photos - to tell the story . So are you ready ? OK , lets go ! On April 21 st , we were the only cruise ship at the Port of Miami . We were the first cruise after the Eclipse's dry dock in the Bahamas . Here we are waiting our turn to board . Our turn ! Having fun with 41 . Sunset Veranda # 7364 Aft balcony The port of Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Is Bliss Posted May 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I love your photos. That feeling of anticipation at boarding is just as much a part of the cruise and so much fun :) Edited May 25, 2015 by Cruising Is Bliss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Welcome aboard everyone ! For those readers unfamiliar with our reviews I suppose that we should issue a warning . Warning : There will be graphic displays of food in this review . So after dropping our bags , I was so hungry that I could eat the bark off of a tree . But we settled for a place that we had wanted to try - The bistro on 5 . We like to try different food venues and we thought that this one would be nice and quite . And for only $ 10 each , our wishes were granted . Chicken Caesar And a Shredded Spicy Steak crepe for me And a Mushroom burger for her Edited May 25, 2015 by scubacruiserx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 25, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Looking great already, I am pleased you liked the BO5 as I have heard lots of bad reviews on the food quality as well as the price going from $7-$10. I suspected they may have been over the top but you never can tell if you hear nothing positive. Keep it coming, cheers Mic.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 26, 2015 Author #20 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well it gonna be a long cruise - with lots of photos and videos , so perhaps an introduction may help . We're Pat and Joe from sunny South Florida where we love Scuba and cruising , hence the name Scubacruiser times 2 . Here's a shot of us from the London Kensington Gardens . You may also notice that we like food and photography . Maybe we should we should be called Hungryshutterbugx2 in the future . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
