This cruise will start straight after our 2 week road trip across the States, we fly back to Fort Lauderdale to catch the brand new Celebrity Edge for a week. Looking forward to this ultra modern ship.
So after an overnight flight from Las Vegas we arrived in Fort Lauderdale at about 6:30am local time on the 5th, we had booked a hotel room from the day before so we could be sure of a bed as soon as we arrived, so we lugged all the cases to the room set an alarm for 12pm midday and went to bed. Our friends Colm & Tamsyn will be joining us today and will be getting a transfer up from Miami and arriving at around midday. So just before…
Read MoreAll excited this morning as we packed our cases one more time and grabbed some breakfast before we were being picked up at 11:45am to go on our 7 night cruise on the Celebrity Edge. The coach picked us up with a load of other passengers going to other ships and we were the second drop off. we pulled up opposite the ship and we walked into the check in building, We were totally blown away with the new process you come in through security and then get in a…
Read MoreWe had a great nights sleep on this ship, the room was really quiet and the bed was so comfortable the only shame for me was I still have a cold and was a little restless last night but OMG we are loving this ship. So this morning no real plans but we are in Key West Florida, now Colm & Tamsyn have never been before but will be coming here when they get off the ship for a few days and didn’t want to see too much so we…
Read MoreAt sea today so not a huge amount to report, but after breakfast in the room and a session in the gym by 3 of us ( I know you know who that was) we all met up on deck for some lazing in the sun. The weather was perfect today nice and sunny not too hot and a few broken clouds. We spent most of the day sun bathing me and Colm spent a few hours in the Magic Carpet bar and then we all went back to the…
Read MoreWe arrived early to Costa Maya in Mexico this morning whilst we slept, today we have arranged a tour with the ship to go to a beach with drinks included and transfers, well as we have got so used to our new swanky ship we were quite surprised when we got off the ship this morning to board our party bus to go to a beach along with 1,000’s of other people from other ships and destinations. Now not wanting to sound stuck up but bloody hell the sun loungers…
Read MoreSorry no video today. This morning we met fairly early in order to sort out our day but strangely enough didn’t leave the ship until gone 10am, we are in Cozumel Mexico and we are going to a resort for the day, this is where we have booked access to a resort on the beach that included all drinks and food available for up to 5 hours. We have done this before with great success but we had not been to this resort before, but anything had to be better…
Read MoreThis morning we are in the Cayman Islands namely Grand Cayman. We have an excursion later on today to Stingray City which is a sand bank somewhere out of the bay. We have a tour organised with the ship and it doesn’t start until 2:30pm but as we are moored off the coast it requires tenders to get ashore so we will be leaving at about 1:30. Now today I will not be venturing out, I crashed last night and really don’t think splashing around getting cold and wet is…
Read MoreSorry No Video today. A bit of a “Disaster Darling” day today, if you read yesterdays blog you will know that the 3 dirty stop-outs didn’t get back to the rooms until 2:30 am this morning absolutely smashed, so naturally people didn’t appear until gone lunch time. So at about midday the phones started to come alive and then it took another 45 minutes before we were out of bed getting ready to venture up on deck for another lay down, this time in the sun. Tamsyn and Colm had…
