[MVPinBoynton]

I was thrilled when I saw your thread. Like others that have already posted, we will be getting on the Summit when you get off. We will be spending three days in Manhattan before getting on the ship and will do all the things you did and a lot more. Keep the posts, pics and great info coming. It is appreciated.

It was $30 rather the normal $40 or so.

 

It was enjoyable.

 

As for another poster about menus. I kind of fumbled that one today. I meant to, but had too much fun doing other things. Tomorrow is another day.

 

As I mentioned we did Qsine and do not have the menus from Blu. But I would have had the quail appetizer and the ahi tuna entree as I remember from the menu.

 

Blessings to all!

 

I am going to enjoy some "us time" and hit the bunk!

Wow - thanks so much! I'm loving this! We'll be on the Summit in January for our first cruise ever. I was so happy to see the pictures of Celebrity Today. Enjoy your cruise!

I'm not wishing for your cruise to be over, but I'm boarding her when you leave :-) Please take good care of her, and I'm looking forward to hearing about the ports, as we have yet to decide what we are doing LOL.

 

Hope you have a great time, and I'm looking very forward to reading this "live from" thread!!!

DAY ONE - A SEA DAY

 

This was a day that I was going to sleep in. Well, I did until 5:45 AM.

 

I absolutely love mornings. So I gabbed camera and MacBook and ventured off to find JAVA. Yesterday I found a coffee station on Deck 10 that I expected would be in use in the morning. To my surprise, it was not.

 

EVEN MORE to my surprise was the fact that the OceanView Cafe was open and I received my very first cup of black coffee!!!

 

We have room service coming for coffee at 7 AM and then off to Blu for breakfast.

 

In the meantime, I am enjoying the sight of lighting in the view out of the cafe. Temps are moderate this morning with no real need for a jacket yet as I thought and wore.

 

In the meantime, waiting to see if there is a nice sunrise, I jot a few notes and put up the cabin photos.

 

They speak for themselves I guess. It is cabin 1138 and the loveseat is near the veranda door as I like. (Speaking of Veranda door....I wish they had closers when out on the veranda, because yesterday it kept sliding open when we were out. I might have to purchase a dowel in Boston!)

 

Anyway enjoy the sample of cabin pictures.

 

Off to find the rising of the sun!

Sorry about the decrease in size. I tried a different size to increase upload speed. I will be going back to the other settings.

 

I did not yet get a picture of closets, but there is AMPLE storage!

Is that a curtain less shower I see- ie doors rather than the dreaded clingy curtain.

I am assuming that this is an Aqua cabin, given the position on the plan.

It is an Aqua Class cabin and YES there is NO clingy curtain!:D

Off to see the sun, I went and this was the best I saw followed by a rather nice rain shower!

Great pictures and live review!! Thanks for sharing your cruise with us!:):)

This is too wild--my husband and I will be in cabin 1138 when we sail oct 5! We had the same problem with the veranda door when we were on the Millenium in cabin 1133 last year. The dowel is a great idea!

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us! We will be on Summit for a B2B starting in Feb to the Southern Caribbean. First time with Celebrity, although diamond on Royal.

 

Love your pictures!! Can't wait to see morel

Thanks for posting the Celebrity Today and all the beautiful photos. I think I spotted our cabin on your exterior shot of the ship. I don't know whether enjoying the cruise vicariously will make the wait longer or shorter, but keep up the good work and have a great trip.

DAY TWO - continued

 

Blu was a fantastic breakfast of an omelette made MY way!

 

 

The weather continues to be dreary and drizzly, which coming from drought stricken southwest Kansas, is simply enjoyable especially on a sea day.

 

 

I am currently sitting in the Celebrity Theatre for a “Beyond the Podium: The Crazy World of NFL Officiating.” It is described this way in the in the Celebrity Today: “Celebrity Life Sports Speaker Bob McElwee provides an inside look at the outlandish, crazy, and sometimes unbelievale situations that have occurred in his 27 year career as a referee in the National Football League.” It is proving to be VERY entertaining!

We had Bob on our last Med cruise on the Silhouette. I went to all three of his presentations. He was very entertaining.

Im in a CC next month and will have said dreaded clingy curtain :( Sad. I will miss that factor from the S Class ships I love, that's for sure!

[ariawoman]

Thank you for posting the dailies....I see that there is still an a cappella group on board which makes me very happy :-) Hope you get to check them out and let us know how they are!

Cabin 1138 I'm officially jealous. We are in 1132 for a Caribbean sailing on Jan 11 but I keep checking on the row of cabins and hoping one opens up.
