Day 3 and we left the hotel at 10:00am and took an Uber to the cruise port.
We had a first boarding schedule for 11:00am so we arrived at the terminal a little ahead of schedule and virtually walked right on.
Celebrity uses a facial recognition so it makes boarding very simple.
Rather than standing in line and picking up your room keys then, you just walk on after going through security and your keys are at your door!
We dropped off our carry-ons and went to the tables at the back of the ship to meet our friends.
We spent the next couple of hours just catching up – what fun we will have.
Then we went back to the room to get our swimming suits on and spent the next couple of hours on the deck in some wonderful sun – 76 degrees.
The show was next and it was a comedian named Corey Khaney and she was very funny. We had met her at the hotel this morning as we were both checking out.
Then it was onto dinner which was very good.
Of course, the casino was next on our agenda and when we got to the casino at 10:30pm it was jammed.
When we walked around, we could tell that there were more high-rollers playing $200 and up then we have ever seen in a ship’s casino.
We wanted a table for the 7 of us but there were not any available. Finally, at about 11:00pm 4 of us were able get on a table.
It was a great night for Ed who won very nicely and Barb lost a little.
We finally left the casino at 1:15am.
Tomorrow we are at sea so it should be a nice relaxing day. Night from our first day on our New Year's cruise.
