Live from Reflection!

[ladylemondrop]

There were two other ships in port - Costa ship and an Azamara ship - queues for cable car were the longest I can remember which is why we walked down....

[ladylemondrop]

The music by the pool is insanely loud today like a full blown rave [emoji31]

There is such a mix of formal and less formal it really is up to the individual - you can only go in the main dining in tux or suit and tie - but you can dine in the speciality restaurants and be smart casual

We saw Lindsay Hamilton perform this evening she was amazing, she sang Bette Midler, Barbara Streisand, Bond themes and Les Miserables (which made me cry) Best show by far this cruise!

Thanks for all the info! Is the music just as loud at the solarium pool? Is it easy to find seating at the pools?

The solarium pool is very quiet and there is plenty of seating - in fact there is plenty of seating everywhere we have noticed it is not an issue getting a spot to be near the pools.

Someone also remarked that the pool area has plenty of shade available too which is nice.

It was at ocean view buffet with the waffles and pancakes which I just happened to walk past on my way to the museli [emoji6]

[ladylemondrop]

Just general info, they are still offering a glass of bubbly/mimosa on embarkation, and the chocolates are back on the pillows at turndown, they are the same each evening, dark Guanaja Valhrona.

 

Today is a sea day so if you would like any info I am available to run around ship (well plod actually because I am now fat enough to sink this vessel!! [emoji16][emoji16]tomorrow is our last day which is really sad - we all agree we have had the best time ever!

Some photos from today's Celebrity Today

 

Features include a coffee chat with Capt Bouzakis, and win a cruise Bingo (am so up for that!)

 

We have lunch scheduled at The Porch today so will post all the photos from that later on... More food!![emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

[ladylemondrop]

 

Capt Bouzakis - what a charming man! (Swoon)...what can I say? It was like meeting James Bond!

Quick question... is there a retractable clothes line in shower? Anywhere to hang up some wet clothes? thanks for your help!

No sorry we have not seen that, we bought a travel clothes line with us - I also brought an over shower caddy for all the toiletries and it has been really useful!

[ladylemondrop]

We had lunch at The Porch! Finally! [emoji2]

My overall thoughts are that it is the perfect cuisine to serve in that location, the breezy sea-side setting makes it ideal for seafood (much more interesting than paninis in my opinion) the cover charge is reasonable too ($25 +$5 for Seafood Tower) as the food offered was quite substantial, very delicious, and all presented beautifully.

Here are some photos -

 

We chose an assortment of appetisers, I had blackened Mahi Mahi tacos (yummy) the Shrimp cocktail was also amazing...

Mahi Mahi Tacos

Shrimp cocktail

Delicious bread and dipping butter mmmm

Lobster Bisque - just like in Muranos (tasty)

Avocado salad with cesar dressing

Modules mariniere - really good!

Branzino - a lot like sea bass and crispy heaven

 

Drum roll please.........

The Seafood Tower!! (Not exactly a tower but my husband said it was really really good) scallops, prawns, mussels...

 

Desserts were ok -

Plenty of wines by the glass in classic - Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay etc.

(Not that I had wine - me?! Nooooo..)

All in all a wonderfully relaxed enjoyable couple of hours! Highly recommend and congrats to Celebrity for this new idea.

Thanks for the posts Louise! The Porch food looks really great.

 

Noticed on the Drink Menu that they have a "Grass is Greener" cocktail. Any idea what is in this?

 

Thanks again for posting while on vacation, I know it's not an easy think to do.
