Time to re-LAX

Posted on November 11, 2019June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 6.45am to find that the Celebrity Eclipse was docked in Los Angeles, right back where she started from.  Felt really depressed that this was the last day of our fabulous, long-awaited holiday. The weather was dry but dull, and certainly cooler than it had been when we’d arrived. We walked along Deck 14…

Wine Tasting in Ensenada

Posted on November 10, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY Got up at eight o’clock this morning and went out onto the balcony; the weather was a bit warmer this morning and we hoped it would be hot and sunny on our arrival into Ensenada, Mexico.  We had last visited Ensenada in March 2000 on the Holiday, and we looked forward to seeing…

To the Victors, the Spoils

Posted on November 9, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up this morning at our usual eight o’clock, marvelling that it was a fortnight ago that we’d left home.  How the time had winged by. Today was our last sea day before reaching terra firma, and once again we got into our routine and did all the ‘usual’ things. After breakfast, therefore, it was…

Ships that Pass in the Night

Posted on November 8, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Ahhhh… woke up and stretched luxuriantly in our crisp cotton sheets this morning, and lay for a while watching the sea passing by outside our balcony doors.  Then I got up and went outside; once again the sea-breeze was brisk and it wasn’t as warm as we would have liked. Today we had nothing planned…

The Captain of your Ship

Posted on November 7, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Another long, lazy sea day today, with another packed programme of events in which to participate, should we be so inclined.  The weather was much improved today; the sun was out and it was not quite as windy as it was yesterday. As usual, after breakfast, we went along to the Sky Lounge to take…

It’s Only A Game

Posted on November 6, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

As with life at home, life on board a ship on sea days assumes its daily routines, favourite hangouts and regular mealtimes.  We therefore got up around 8.00am as usual and went out onto the balcony to see what the weather was doing today.  Disappointingly, the skies were cloudy and there was a brisk wind…

Perfect Pacific

Posted on November 5, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around 8.00am and went out on the balcony where the weather was already pleasantly warm and sunny, with only a slight sea-breeze.  We then got dressed and went up to the Ocean View for our breakfast.  I had an American breakfast of crispy bacon, corned beef hash, pancakes and French toast, liberally covered…

Hello from Honolulu

Posted on November 4, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning we woke up as the ship was making her way into Honolulu.  This time we would be in port, rather than at anchor.  Got up around 7.15am as we were booked to go on a half-day excursion this morning.  Once again, the weather was hot and sunny. We enjoyed our breakfast as usual…

Looking around Lahaina

Posted on November 3, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Once again we were up early this morning, around 7.30am, and we went out onto the balcony to a bright and sunny morning, the air tropical and sultry.  We didn’t have any excursions booked today, preferring instead to explore on our own. We went up to the Ocean View Café and enjoyed a hearty breakfast…

Landscapes and Leis

Posted on November 2, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We got up at 7.00am to find the Celebrity Eclipse at anchor, with the first of the liberty boats ferrying its first lot of passengers ashore.  Today we were booked to go on a half-day excursion, and we had to assemble in the Eclipse Theatre to await the call for our group, which was group…
