I was hopeful but honestly I've never found the buffet here to be very good. Dining room is usually much better though. I'll have to do better next time at eating quicker to see if it started out at the proper temperature. It just opened before I got there so one would think it would still be fresh

I saw them by the elevators. Indeed a strange place for it. I will keep my eyes peeled for a set outdoors as well as pickleball.

Heading to the gym to get some exercise in.

Buffet lunch was average at best unfortunately. I'm not a buffet fan in general but for included options it's that or hamburgers and hot dogs. The veal cutlet was dried out other than that the food was passable but cold. Some is on me because I stopped for photos and got all three plates instead of each course individually. No way it should have gone cold that fast though. The salad was great for a salad. Very nice selection of toppings and I appreciated the seperate line instead of one long lineup like on Carnival. Dessert was again just average with a lovely orange cream kind of dessert (the one in the glass) but some that were dried out and flavorless. Will stick mostly to the bread pudding and ice cream for the most part going forward, those have always been really good.

Got mustard Asked about the welcome aboard sparkling wing at martini bar bartender had no idea what I was talking about. He asked another bartender and it's a no go. No welcome aboard bubbly for me today.

Some sections are. Some are open with a gentle reminder to not wear high heels on the grass. They rotate sections so each can have some rest without the herds stampeding over them.

Still patchy but a more healthy shade of green.

It is real. Just for the novelty factor pretty cool use of the deck space since they don't need to devote real estate to the kids attractions. It looks a little patchy here, some of the other areas are holding up a little better.

I added meat and cheese. Went too heavy on the pour on the salad dressing. Definitely added too many calories there I will go lighter next time.

Guess I will try to get mustard again and check on the sparkling wine situation at the martini bar.

My first celebrity ship was Reflection. I'm excited to be back on her it's a really nice ship.

I love the lawn on this class of ships. Very cool and unique.

Thank you! Very nice selection. I don't particularly enjoy salads but adding a salad a day helped me I believe not gain as much last month as I did on my transatlantic.

Dessert time. I saw they also had bread pudding but I've already loaded down my plate. Maybe later.

Very nice salad bar and a meat and cheese station to add to my salad.

Lunch has been acquired.

I see a princess ship down the way 🧐

Ice cream. Included and VERY tasty. I believe it's made onboard. That could be wrong but either way it's much better than standard included cruise ship ice cream.

Yep standard inside 😁. Very nice rooms on Celebrity.

And we're caught up. I'm sitting outside for cell service. Using my free minutes before I pay for wifi so ot connected yet and had no signal inside. Odyssey is next door. Crew is very engaging and friendly so far which I've always found to be the case on Celebrity* *with one exception that I'll talk about later Heading back to check on food my belly is ready to end the diet!

Lunch not quite open yet.

Tried to muster, they won't start until 1130 so will get my mustard later. Celebrity let's use drop your bags...very nice touch. My inside hole for the week.

Very steep incline instead of the usual winding gangway. Onboard at 1057.

South Florida....80 degrees every day still. It's insane. I've lived in Florida my while life but used to live in Northern Florida and can't get over the climate difference from one end of the sunshine state to the other. No flying these days for me. When I do Europe I take the long way...by boat 🤣
