That is a great deal, since it is quite difficult to see the blossoms from land due to the crowds and parking problems.

We also received this. I was on the computer and opened it right then. I responded right away. It also mentioned fireworks. We are looking forward to it.

 

Thank you Celebrity.

Huh??? My office is just right around the tidal basin and I don't even venture to see the Cherry Blossoms b/c my street is full of Cherry trees. I do go to MDLive casino and play poker there a lot and that's exciting.

It was a beautiful evening, although a little chilly. Celebrity staff (now located in the DC metro area-- one of the 10 cities that have been targeted for marketing campaigns and Captain's Club activities, according to Celebrity staff on board) had been planning this event for the last year, and came well prepared with Celebrity Excursion blankets to use for those that ventured on to the top deck or outside on the deck below that.

 

The National Elite was the boat being used-- had a full deck enclosed, the mid deck was half enclosed, and the top deck was open. She sailed full. They had assembled one of the big "Lawn" chairs like the Solstice class lawns have as well as "grass" and bocci balls on the top deck. The wind while sailing and the chill of the evening kept this area from being used, except for the fireworks display by the Cherry Blossom Festival, but it was ready for guests with seating and blankets. A hearty few of us stayed out on the half-deck that was more open to the elements (no real walls like the other half of that deck, but enclosed by plastic wind breaking walls) since all the interior sitting space on the lower deck was claimed and never released by those cruisers. Our deck had a bar and passed hot hors d'oeuvres.

 

It was a great night-- Celebrity can't be held responsible for the cherry blossoms not being out, although by the time we would have reached that area on the river it was already well beyond sunset and you wouldn't have been able to see them anyway. Open bar, great people, and swag bags at the end. They cobranded this event with Emirates, so there was some mention of the Dubai sailings in the remarks that were made. Since those remarks were made on the lower deck, and piped over the speaker system on the rest of the boat, I didn't catch all that was said.

 

I'm sure others may post as to what went wrong (like trying to find the parking garage we were given access to for free), but this was a great first event for CC members I feel.
