Here is the "ART" in the vestibule entrance on Deck 11 near the Sky Lounge. I still like the Chihuly aboard Constellation better!

You’re welcome, Charles. I’m sorry that your cabin steward’s performance seemed to be wanting. David and Marcia

Our waiter, Sumantra, was wonderful. He has been with Celebrity for 20 years. He says he prefers working in the main dining room and has turned down offers to work in the specialty restaurants.

I had the New York Cheese Cake for dessert:

Our final dinner has prime rib on the menu.

There was a stretch of cruises a few years ago when we cruised as a family of 4, where we regularly visited the doctor's office. I used to joke that we would be interested in buying a medical package if that were ever available. I had to self administer a shot of Dupixent for my asthma, but I did not have any alcohol swabs left, so I made a trip down to Deck 1 get some. The waiting rooms were empty which is a great sign and the nurse at the front desk gave me some wipes.

We have received certs for crossing the Atlantic a couple years ago and for a New Year's sailing. Kelly gave his eighth and final Beyond the Podium presentation this morning. It was titled "The Sputnik Years". At the conclusion of his presentation, someone in the audience asked him when his next cruises are. He said that his next cruise was in August--he didn't mention which ship, but he did say it was a Reykjavik to Boston sailing. He lives in Boston (where the highest concentration of professional astronomers work) and he is pleased with the idea of the cruise terminating at his home town. He also said that we was going to be on an Equinox trans-Atlantic this year. So it sounds like you will see him on your Eclipse sailing this August because the Iceland to Boston itinerary sounds pretty unique. I didn't attend it, but one of Kelly's presentations was devoted to auroras which I am sure will draw some interest on your northerly sailing. After having attended 5 of his presentations, I can tell you he is smart and an excellent communicator. Perhaps comparing him to the late Carl Sagan may be a stretch, but Kelly's combination of skills lay in that direction. I was entertained by the number of astronomy themed neckties that he wore.

I thought the Revolution updates to the ship's interior (except for the cabins) look nice. The dining room does look better and I like the casino's color scheme.

One of the designated smoking areas on the port side of Deck 4:

Today's aft view. Like yesterday, its a bit chilly outside but no strong winds.

Celebrity would have to install doors with sliding peepholes at the entrance.

No! Don’t say that! I’m going to ask to have your post removed….

I thought your answer—at least the way I read it—was generally correct as are virtually all of your posts.

Last 20 PUP activity was credited in Aug 2022. It was a survey on shore excursions.

That’s funny and cool.

Yes, we are very lucky to witness this rare atmospheric refraction phenomenon. According to our Behind the Podium speaker, Kelly Beatty, several unusual factors have to be present at the same time in order for it to occur. Having clear skies with an unobstructed view of the horizon is simply not enough.

I’ll definitely need looking at them!

Yes, Tuscan Grille's entrance is in a hideous spot

No sunset photos tonight due to clouds. Good night from onboard Summit

No hassles for sure that way! Until this sailing, I have not run into any problems before like this photo on Solstice (New Years Day 2020): Or on Constellation in Oct 2022: There's something about Summit.....

I took a few photos of the casino--a place will great lighting, splashy colors, and people with a wide range of facial expressions. Celebrity allows photos but not videos to be taken in their casino. However this casino had stricter rules. I was told that I could not take any photos of the casino employees. So, I asked one--in this case it was "Happy" in the photo that I posted yesterday. When I asked, Happy, he turned around to ask the Pit Boss if that was okay. The Pit Boss said that it was if he was ok with it. I dutifully took my photo and decided not to take anymore pictures than these. Tonight I was watching a player at the $10 table playing blackjack pretty crazy. In one hand, he hit a a hard 18 when the dealer's upcard was a 6! I noticed that after 15 minutes, he left the table empty handed...

We may circle back and do it tomorrow.
