Another great site

 Cruise Outlook

Weather reports.  Too soon to see any kind of report for our cruise, but …

Considering that our cruises in the Valor and Freedom of the Seas had us looking like drowned rats …

Great site

Cruise mappers

All subject to change, of course.

One step at a time

 Airfare booked.

Starting to think it’s real

 We’re less than a year away now, counting down to the cruise.  I’m reading Cruise Critic to see how Celebrity functions and what the COVID protocols are.

The Constellation is a smaller ship, holding about 2,000 passengers.  We will have a balcony cabin on deck 7; a balcony is a must for an 11 day cruise.

We still need to book our flights and excursions.  

But I’m starting to feel a bit excited.
