Our first port after eight days at sea was the colorful capital Santa Cruz De Tenerife. Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands which is part of Spain. The weather was 64 degrees and overcast but it was pleasant for our walk around town. Our morning coffee was delivered at 8 and we took ourContinue reading “Our Time in Santa Cruz De Tenerife”

There are so many things to do on board a ship that sometimes I wonder how I’m going to get any relaxation. There are shows, trivia, casino, bingo, eating, dancing, listening to music, and getting acquainted with many people. We try to do a few of the things but sometimes we want to pause andContinue reading “More At Sea”

Cruising the Transatlantic is not for those who fear the open ocean or may suffer from seasickness. There are many medicines to take to counter motion sickness. From Dramamine to magnetic bracelets and patches, Bruce and I are very lucky not to need anything. We will have eight sea days before we reach our firstContinue reading “Life On Board a Transatlantic Voyage”

Well, it’s travel time again. Bruce isn’t fully recovered from shoulder surgery but he’s doing pretty well. He can’t reach up yet and still has a bit of pain. Our ride to Port Everglades was smooth but getting to our ship took over an hour. It’s tough on the driver but we tried to stayContinue reading “Heading Across the Atlantic”

This time we are on the Celebrity Summit. First time ever! The Summit is an older ship and only holds approximately 2200 passengers. It was refurbished in 2019 and is a beautiful smaller ship. Our cabin is small but has a bit of storage and a nice balcony. We set up our WiFi and thenContinue reading “Here We Go Again”

This afternoon we went to a Joanie Mitchell and Leonard Cohen Tribute Show. It was great fun and highlighted their best music. Leonard Cohen was a Canadian poet turned songwriter who was a big part of the folk scene in the 1960s. His most famous song, now used as a Christian ballad is Hallelujah, whichContinue reading “A Day of Entertainment”

Today we had no plans. We spent time here last year so we toured the fort and old San Juan. We woke a little later and had our coffee and tea in the room. We had a nice view. At least very colorful. They were offering $20 tours by car to Old San Juan butContinue reading “Our Stop in Puerto Rico”

We’ve had two beautiful sea days watching the ocean from our balcony and spending time in the thermal suites at the spa. So very relaxed we decided to get off the ship in Tortola. Shopping, shopping everywhere. And because I’m not into that we were able to pass by the stores. Lovely buildings in CaribbeanContinue reading “A Roller Coaster Ride on Tortola”

This is our third cruise this month, but instead of four days, it’s seven. We are on our favorite ship, the Celebrity Beyond. We have a lovely infinity balcony again. Although I like the outside balconies this gives our cabin so much more room. On this cruise, I am going to eat less and workContinue reading “Back on the High Seas For A Birthday Cruise”
