Europe – Day 5

Well today was just opposite from yesterday as when we woke up, the weather was perfect.  70+ and sunny.

 We walked around a few of the blocks surrounding the hotel and then met Jeff and Vera in the lobby for our 11:00am ride to the port.  Boarding was very easy and we were on the back deck eating lunch by 12:30pm.

 This is the same shop that we took the kids and grandkids on a few years ago, but it has been totally renovated and an entire floor was built as the 11^th floor deck with new cabins and those are the cabins we are in.  The cabins are bigger and the balconies are larger also that other cabins on this class of ship.  This is the Celebrity Constellation.

 After lunch, we left the ship and took a tram to the Grand Bazaar.  The Grand Bazaar defies description. It is simply huge with blocks and blocks or shops, all under one roof.

Then we took the tram back to the ship and our luggage was there so we unpacked before and after the mandatory life boat drill.

Then it was nap time before going to dinner in the restaurant BLU.  Jeff and Vera surprised Ed with a birthday cake including Corvette candles.

 After a good dinner we went to the Casino.  We know the Asst Mgr and a number of the dealers.  This is the first time with the Casino Manager and our Host.  They both seem nice.

 Barb did not play the slots and Ed lost tonight.  Let’s hope tomorrow will be better.  It is also a day at sea and a formal night.

Night from our first day of the cruise.
