Day 4 – October 3, 2024

 Today is the day to begin our Celebrity cruise ship adventur.

We slept in a little and then went to breakfast and of course it was wonderful

Everything is fresh and such a wonderful variety would surprise people from the US who come here for the first time.  Nothing is pre-packaged

After breakfast we quickly packed and had a bellman take our bags down to our waiting car who took us to the cruise terminal.

Check-in was very quick as we were one of the first to arrive.

At 11:10am they allowed us to board and we found our stateroom and left our carry-on luggage and went up to the Ocenview Café for lunch.

After lunch we came back to the room to unpack our carry-ons.  Then we completed the safety drill and walked around.

Back to the stateroom, we rested until our only big bag came and they completed unpacking for the cruise.  We cam on this trip with a carry-on each and one big bag and no question, that was a mistake and we will not try that again on this long of a trip.

Then it was time to cleanup and go out for the evening.

Before dinner we went to the 7:00pm show and the entrainment was a comedian who was very funny.

There are several classes of cabins on the ship.  The top category are the Suites, next is Aqua Class, then Concierge Class and finally regular cabins.  We are in Aqua Class as that is the class that the casino gave us.  For Aqua, they have their own dining room called Blu.  After the show, we went to Blu for dinner and sat next to a delightful couple from Vancouver.

Then it was onto the casino.  Before we had left, we had found out that the Casino Host was an individual named Angle.  If you remember our previous cruise, Angle was the host on that MSC ship who surprised us.  We have known Angle many years ago on a Celebrity and he had left Celebrity, worked on his own and then joined MSC.  Tonight we found out that the host was indeed Angle but this time a female – That was disappointing.

Tomorrow is a sea day so we plan to sleep in and hopefully the weather will be warm enough that we an be up on the deck in the sun.
