Final thoughts

As long as we have been spending our vacation dollars and using up all our vacation days at sea, we are still pleased to continue to find new information regarding the world of cruising.

--On our last day, my hubby came across a miniature version of the printed daily schedule that fits easily in your pocket (instead of ripping the full size Celebrity Today page in half and folding it up like an accordion)
--We enjoyed the 2 for 1 drinks 10pm-midnight in 5 bars throughout the ship on Tues & Wed (port days).
--I personally was a bit put off by one of the guest enrichment speakers soliciting good reviews at every turn. Not to say he was not entertaining, I just don't necessarily feel the need to be reminded that he is looking for a full time job with the cruise line.
--We had a time change on first night (lost an hour) and 2nd to last night (found the hour we lost)
--My husband is a big fan of the oceans ahead program and enjoys speaking with the ship's navigational and engineering staff
--Late night comedy is repeated throughout the cruise--if you love to laugh...don't miss it
--Brunch in MDR usually on sea day (for us, the day we pulled into San Juan because we docked at 2 pm)

So many things we intended to do, had them all on our list, but missed due to lack of time, a conflicting time schedule, an exhausting day and/or our need for sleep

--Karaoke nights
--Liar's Club game show
--Persian Gardens (steam room)
--watch feature film in Celebrity Central
--Dancing with the Stripes
--70's party
--Edge (production show)
--Eclipse (production show)
--Senior Officer's Cocktail Party
--sushi in the buffet
--free bag of wash/fold laundry (we need to pack less, let them wash it, and repeat an outfit)
--backstage tour
--cooking demonstrations
--wine and cheese concert on the lawn (7:30-8:30 pm evening of San Juan port day)
--Motown pool party

Clearly many great reasons to book a back-to-back!!!!
