I am working on the ship and have had no problem with Zoom and Teams meetings. I was a little worried when you mentioned last week how slow the internet is, but it’s been a pleasant surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mine that way. He never has a drink before cocktails at 7:30. That of course is PM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in SoCal for 31 years, LA county, and sailed the Mexican Riviera cruise many many times. Will be following along to hear your observations about how things are now. We left Diamond Bar for the beaches of Delaware and left friends in Irvine. Safe travels to you both. Marie Welcome. This B2B is our first visit to the Mexican Riviera and really enjoying. I hope your eye surgery went well. Mine was quite extensive but combined with Cataract since they were already at it. I love not having to wear glasses. I'm in the final stages of recovery and tapering off prednisone after 12 weeks. Friday I finally drop to 1 drop a day down from 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 14, 2022 Author #981 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Today we are having a late breakfast in our room. I'm up at 7:00 AM enjoying a couple cups of cappuccino. Wish us luck as we are going on a noon whale watching tour. Celebrity didn't offer any whale watching tours so booked it via Expedia. It's about a week earlier than the beginning of whale season but hoping for some early arrivals. Some passengers saw a Humpback while at sea yesterday so we have hopes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may go ashore tonight but for sure tomorrow to go Whale Watching. I discovered they still have Affogato on Solstice. I miss getting Affogato’s. I asked for them on Summit and Edge and was told they no longer had them. Don’t expect Beyond to have them either in February. 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Retreat Bartender offered to make me one if I wanted one. She was making Chocolate Martini with Ice Cream for a guest. I guess it's a Vodka Milk Shake.

Our room is right under a major cart route to the Galley in Ocean View and you can definitely hear the carts start rolling early. I'll have to put an entry on the Spreadsheet. We had a CC cabin under a cart route and they started daily at 4:30 am. Never slept a wink after that time until they moved us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
