New Years – 2019 Day 5

Since we were up very late last night and the clocks were set ahead 1 hour, we slept in today.

It was of course warm; however, it was also very windy but we did find a protected spot on the deck above the pool and stayed out until 12:30pm when we joined everyone in a restaurant which was new to Celebrity on the back of the ship.  It was a fine meal and we sat around until 2.

Then we went to the casino and played in the slot tournament where Barb qualified for the finals and Ed didn’t.  Barb came in 4^th and they only paid 2 places.

We then walked around to see parts of the ship that we hadn’t visited, graphed some snacks from and went back up to the room and sat on our balcony.  We really, really like this ship.

Everything about the ship is a new concept and very over the top.  The top suite costs $25,000 a person!!  It is behind a locked entrance so we can see it.  The pictures make it look amazing.

Our cabin is really an improvement from the previous ships we have been on.  It is bigger, the bath is bigger and the new balcony all make it a beautiful cabin.

At 4:30pm we went to the casino to play a session with Barb and Tim where Ed won nicely and Barb didn’t play.

Tonight is New Years Eve and Chic night so or course we dressed up.  In the past it would have been a tuxedo for Ed, but most men no longer wear them on a cruise ship.

The show in the theater was a production number by the cast and it was very good.

Dinner was in a specialty restaurant (extra cost) called Eden and it was wonderful.

We went to the casino where Ed lost a little and Barb broke even because she didn’t play – but she was a great cheerleader.

Then it was time for the New Year’s celebration and it was fun.

They had 7 different areas with parties and we were at the main one and it was just nuts with hundreds of our new friends dancing, singing and just having a great time.

2018 was a good year and 2019 will be even better.

Night from the last entry in 2018, well actually the first entry in 2019!!

It's Time to go out

The clock struck midnight!!
