Sitting in the Cove for White Night. So many different lively white outfits on the ladies.

That was last night’s octopus appetizer in Waterside, one of my all-time favorite dishes, anyplace. I ate one taste and loved it so much, I had to take a photo. Now we’ve just left Umi Uma after an outstanding meal.

Yep. And went to heaven.

What did you mean by ada?

Bob Ray was wonderful yesterday! Roger McGuinn was wonderful this a.m.! Rachel York was wonderful last night! Food and service yummy and great.

Ibis, and Memlin, so glad to have you posting from our wonderful Crystal Serenity! Very busy day today with Bob Ray a huge highlight, and Roger McGuinn in the front row. Tomorrow it’ll be his turn at the podiu,! Rachel York, phenomenal show tonight. Tomorrow the Crystal in Motion show will be at 6 pm, so hopefully I’ll get to meet Ibis and Memlin and some others at the Palm Court at 5:15. Today at bridge a woman who is a lurker here on CC said she thought she’d meet me at bridge! Fun! Then we got a bottom and a top from them, for an avg. round. Good night, folks!

Photo was at the port. Gorgeous flowers, many of them! Now in first lecture, the Caribbean in WWII, with Dr. Michael Connie. Two more great ones today. 🥂

I expect it to be charged when we are on board. I think this allows the use of onboard credits, which evidently they don’t have the web site ready to do yet.

And it is hopefully not just veggies! At home, one of my favorite dinners is roast beef hash.

Of course! Don’t you do that at home?

I received it and have never booked higher than the basic veranda. Often we book ocean view. It was fun to get it! Perhaps mail to Canada is on a different delivery track. If you don’t get one, perhaps you’ll pick one up on Jan. 5th. Bon voyage.

I’m usually up there for trivia, and I vaguely remember them opening at 4 pm. But I was last onboard in March.

I love it! Except it isn’t funny. I go on Dec. 22nd, but my friend goes on Dec. 10th. That’s probably after you are going?

You’re the first person I’ve ever heard of who made a successful purchase at Temu! Bummer about dinner. Keep trying!

I think they may have mastered the challenge if morning fog. They hustle a bit and anrrive around perhaps midnight or 2 am, before the fog rolls in.

This is what we like, good serious research! Thx, Roy.

I love it, Keith! The last two sentences gave me great big smiles!

Or you’d cruise in the highest category on every cruise.

I think I’ve said it before, but I’d love to hear you and Mr B swapping stories. I think I’ll ask him to choose over or under for how soon she gets back to you. Is 48 hours a good figure to use? Btw, how long ago did they stop wearing socks?

Wow.

I was ready to ask, doesn’t this ship have two sides?!

Bon voyage! Thx for bringing us along!

We’ve almost always had wonderful luck in the main dining rooms of Celebrity, with three out of five specialties a big disappointment, so I hope you’ll be matching my experience. Last two cruises not as good as first 19, but hopefully things will be turning back around again now.
