After the rain day yesterday, we awoke to no rain – YEA!!
We had met a driver yesterday and he pickup us up at 10:00am
and took us the short distance to the cruise terminal for us to board the
Celebrity Reflection The last time we were on this ship was in January of
2020. There are bitter sweet memories of
that trip in 2020 as on this ship Ed won a large tournament and had one of the
highest winnings of any trip. At the end
of the cruise, we travelled to Tampa and boarded the Carnival Horizon and on
that trip, Barb got sick and was hospitalized in Aruba.
But everything turned out all right, Barb is healthy and we
are looking forward to a great trip this year.
We are meeting friends from New York, the Wurst and the
Schlachters and we met them both on previous cruises and have sailed we think
every New Years for quite some time.
Great times ahead with wonderful friends.
Check-in was fast and we dropped off our carry-on bags in
our room and went to the back the ship to meet our friends and it was sooo good
to see them once again.
We spent several hours just siting and talking and the
weather was great – 70 and little wind.
Then it was time walk around and then go back to our room
and unpack our carry-ons.
Finally, our bags came and we unpacked and got ready to go
to dinner.
Dinner was excellent and we also celebrated the other Barb’s
birthday.
After dinner we went to the show and it was a singer and she
was pretty good.
Then of course it was time to go to the casino. It is always fun the first day to see if
there were anyone that we knew from before and there was. The Casino Manager, Sol was there, the Host
None and one of the Pit Bosses, Arthur were all staff that we had cruised with
before so that was very nice.
Unfortunately, our luck did not hold as both Ed and Barb
lost a little.
We are setting the clocks forward one hour so it is time to
go to bed.
Night for now
