We love the breadsticks on Celebrity !  Actually, the last evening I asked our bus boy for some to take to snack on for our trip home at the end of the cruise, and he came back with a big stack wrapped in foil ! Yum

We were very fortunate to have delightful tablemates.  Always upbeat and interesting conversation at our table in the evenings.

Since today was our Anniversary, we got an Anniversary cake with the waiters singing Happy Anniversary to us.

Woohoo ! the Baked Alaska Parade

Later the same night.... The Grande Buffet!

Stephen and I doing Karaoke in Rendez Vous Square

On our balcony .. we have our own backlit "X" for Celebrity

Lets tour the ship a bit ! Here's the Martini Bar

Here's where we did the Karaoke - Rendez Vous Square

I didn't go to the buffet for meals much, but I sure did like a plate of pasta with one of their many featured cheese selections.  The pasta dishes were made with ingredients at your request at the pasta bar .. I like it sautéed in garlic with tomato sauce. 

We had many visits to the Aquaspa - Fiona did my hair on a couple of occasions, as well as a facial.  Stephen and I both enjoyed the thallasotherapy pool each day.

What's a Celebrity Cruise without a house Caribbean Band? Even in Europe we sailed away to the sounds of the Caribbean in Italy!  Here is another one of their fine bands "Oaysis" up by the pool each afternoon.

Marta ! This is the lady that was in charge of maintaining our room, she was like a pixie, most times in and out without us knowing and we'd return to a neat, orderly suite upon our return.  Marta has an assistant who came by as well.

Whoa ! you wouldn't want to stare at this carpet too long after a few martinis!

Checking out the menu outside the Manhattan

Waiting for a delectable dish!

Lets see.. Iced coffee, juices and a chilled soup to start my lunch.   We had a few great chilled soups on this trip, Pear and Honey, Pear and Cinnamon and Melon with Maple. 

Before returning to the Penthouse Deck, I'm off to ... Vista Deck!

Cabin Tour ! Start with the bathroom .. a jetted tub

it even has a phone "yes 2 cappuccino please?"

A shower with a tap at waste level to use on your sandy feet from spending a day at the beach.

Blow dryer and mirror with shelving for your accessories, two sinks as well.

Lots of closet and drawer space as well as a vanity inside the walk-in closet.  Other drawer space available in the bedroom as well.

Stephen gives me a funny look as he watches me taking photos all over the suite.

The living room in the Royal Suite has a large TV, VCR, CD and Cassette player - we came equipped with some of our favourite CD's to listen to during the cruise.

Our Butler Andi would bring us Cappuccinos whenever we would like - which was often, as well as afternoon Tea and evening h'ors derves.

The dining room table provided a nice spot for cappuccino and tea when we weren't out on the balcony.

I'd peek in the hall about 4pm and Andi would be coming with his cart of goodies for afternoon tea.

Each day we would watch the chart to see where we were, this one is located near Guest Relations.

One final visit to the Spa for a facial! Fiona did a great job.

Stephen with a thought balloon ! Actually it was a piece of the "Art" in our suite

One of the best feature on Celebrity ships, in my opinion is the forward observation lounge at the top of the ship, which is a disco at night.  On Mercury, its "Navigator's Club"

Dance Dance Dance ! even equipped with a mirror ball!

Big turnout for Bingo on the last day of the cruise in the Celebrity Theatre

Once again, Celebrity exceeded our expectations!
