I’m a little late to join, but I love your reviews and I’m following along. I don’t cruise again until January so I love a good review to pass the time!

First time In a hump balcony.   The balcony is def bigger.  
the jury is still out….

[jimbo5544]

Som as we were getting ready to into the Festivale Dining room for the Diamond Luncheon, we noticed some wall memorabilia of the Original Celebration, which was our first cruise back in 1996 out of Tampa.  Lots of memories on the wall hanging reminding us about our very first cruise.  After lunch my bride decided to look back some pics (the wall handing had diagrams of the two original restaurants, the Vista and the Horizon).  She had a pic of our first S&S card and found our table on the card and then the diagram.  Then, she also noticed the date of the sailing on the card, which happens to be today's date 28 years ago.  Pretty weird.

In the first photo, are these controls from the original Celebration's engine room? If so that is SO cool!!

Monday Sea day 2

Last night we hit the band in Pig and Anchor.  They are very good. Did two sets with Motown reference.  The place was hopping. They Re leaving at the end of this cruise.  The following act has a tough act to follow.  From our walk this morning.

Good question.  Not sure, but agree that would be cool.  I will see what I can find out.

Hopping on and following along!

 

On this itinerary in September, so if you could share the dailies at some point, that would be awesome!  My group is trying to coordinate what night everything will be.

 

Hope you all have the best time!!

So looking forward to your review.  We have sailed her twice and loved both times.  We sail her again in September and can not wait.  I hope you have a fantastic time.
