It’s been a very quick 48 hours in Tokyo. We started the trip with a 3am wakeup alarm on Friday to catch a 6:30 flight to Chicago. We were in Chicago about 3 hours before boarding a 13 hour flight to Tokyo’s Narita airport. We’re traveling on a mileage award…
After 3 nights in Bermuda, we’re once again underway for 2 sea days before we reach New York City. Yesterday morning was very quiet in Hamilton in observance of Good Friday. However, we were able to find an open restaurant/pub that offered 1 hour of free internet usage. Thanks again…
After two sea days, we’ve arrived in Bermuda. Our first day leaving the Caribbean was very calm and warm. The second day, traveling nearly due north, we encountered cooler temperatures and rough seas. After about 36 hours of walk-hampering and for some, stomach-churning discomfort, it was a great to reach…
Except for the name, “Fat Virgin” (thanks to Christopher Columbus), Virgin Gorda is a beautiful, enchanting island in the British Virgin Islands. This morning we’re anchored in a picturesque bay near Spanish Town, BVI. We’re scheduled for the “Island Tour” excursion – our second ship tour. After meeting our tour…
After an early morning departure from St. Thomas we’re safely anchored in St. John’s Cruz Bay by around 8:30am this morning. We take advantage of US cellular coverage for some morning phone calls and emails. Neither St. Thomas nor St. John’s has great cellular coverage, but even at 2G speeds,…
After a late evening departure from San Juan, we’ve made our way to one of the most popular cruise destinations in the Caribbean, St. Thomas. But, it’s a very quiet day today, we’re the only ship in port. We’re moored at Havensight, the cruise focused duty-free shopping area outside of Charlotte…

Beyond the exciting changes around the Lawn Club, the Celebrity Silhouette offers more changes below deck. The most exciting for those of us that enjoy brewed beverages (not coffee) is in Michaels Club. With muted lighting, warm dark leather furniture and beautiful wood paneling, Michaels was conceived and designed as…
We’re very fortunate to be sailing in an AquaClass stateroom for this inaugural event (thanks Sharon!). AquaClass was originally introduced on the Solstice and now with the revitalization program of the Millennium class ships, they will receive these popular stateroom choices. AquaClass is a wonderful refinement of the best things onboard a Celebrity…
It’s a chilly, windy afternoon as we arrive at Cape Liberty cruise port in New Jersey. Lower Manhattan is just across the Hudson River with Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty about half-way in between. The new One World Trade Center is clearly visible where the former twin towers…
