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…

Fancy Dress or Not?

Posted on October 31, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 7.30am and went out onto our balcony, where the weather was warm and sultry and the sun was already quite hot.  Today would be our last full day at sea before reaching our first port of call tomorrow. As today was Hallowe’en, which is celebrated much more in the USA than it…

Cruise, Booze and Fabulous Shoes

Posted on October 30, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 7.30 this morning and were dismayed to see that the decks were wet, and it wasn’t because the deck-hands had been washing them.  ☹ After getting washed and dressed we made our way up to Deck 14 to take the route alongside the pool to the Ocean View café. There was a…

The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow

Posted on October 29, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at eight o’clock this morning and went out onto the balcony to see what the weather was like.  Once again, although dry, it was cooler than we’d expected and cloudy, but the Pacific Ocean was fairly calm as the Celebrity Eclipse glided through the waves, and we enjoyed the hypnotic shhhhh shhhhh of…

Cruising the Pacific

Posted on October 28, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We awoke early this morning; in fact, at 6.00am I went out onto the balcony hoping to watch the sun rise, but we were on the wrong side of the ship!  Nevertheless we lay in bed for a while, looking out at the mesmerising sight of the sea passing by, then got up around 6.30am. …

Round and Round We Go

Posted on May 23, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

For some reason I didn’t sleep well – the night seemed endless.  Maybe our circadian rhythms were still awry after all the time zones we’d passed through, but I kept waking up and either going to the bathroom, or standing at the balcony doors looking out to sea, where I could see the faint white…

Groundhog Day!

Posted on May 19, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today was just a relaxing day at sea, when we could do as much or as little as we wanted.  We got up about 8.30am (a bit later due to the lost hour!!) and I decided not to go to breakfast, just eating the fruit that was provided in our stateroom; Trevor brought me back…
