Day 2

First off, we love sea days and would prefer them over being in port. That being said, it was our first day at sea and we are more than happy to be following a schedule and/or doing absolutely nothing. A quiet relaxing day was something that would have to wait until later in the week. The CC gathering was at 10am, which conflicted with the Elite backstage tour, which seems to happen quite often. Because we had plans to travel as a group in St. Marten, I wanted to touch base with everyone to confirm our arrangements. Then we were off to the galley tour, which we'd never done previously on a Celebrity ship. The Elite wine tasting was scheduled next, and we managed to find time to be in all three places before noon. Up next, lunch in Aqua Spa Cafe then we went in search of a quiet spot for a nap. I finally experienced what everyone has been talking about and fell asleep in the relaxation room, then spent a little while in the Persian Gardens. We love the Aqua Class perks and intended to enjoy all the little extras that are included...from Blu to the complimentary bottles replaced in our cabin each morning and evening. My husband began looking forward to the different flavored teas delivered to the cabin with the fresh fruit bowl.






I saw very few early mornings on this cruise...too many late nights I guess :) this is the view from our balcony



Quite a few "self portraits"
on the balcony this cruise..my "photographer" was still in bed :)

Later in the afternoon, I participated in one of the Beyond the Podium Enrichment Talk Series, which happened to be an interactive seminar on improv comedy. We both look forward to and like to attend the various offerings, my husband chose the talk on Secrets of Navigation.



Galley tour...so many meals...so little time!

Our first visit to the Elite cocktail lounge in the Sky Observation Lounge where we met a few more nice couples who share our love of cruising. Another quick nap, then we were headed to an enjoyable dinner with the Captain. More great conversation with yet another interesting group of couples, then we were off to the late show in the theater. I had seen the same show when I was on board in November, and still enjoyed it the second time around. Last stop of the day, the late night comedy show with Al Ducharme. We both laughed so hard that tears were running down our cheeks...it was the perfect ending to our day at sea.

Up next, a quiet morning at sea, then a full afternoon in San Juan.
