Last night we attended the Captain’s Club Cocktail Party which was held in the Sky Lounge for Select members and above. 45 minutes long with the incentive for me out having a free bar! Very nice! We haven’t attended one of these for years and only went because some of our table mates invited us to join them. We had to make a quick dash to the other end of the ship for dinner where Nicole had Happy Birthday sung to her and was presented with a cake too.
When we eventually returned to the cabin at the end of the night we found our steward had been up to mischief again with two towel swans scattered with rose petals on the bed.
Arrival at Basseterre followed the trend on this cruise of being cloudy and you couldn’t see the top of Nevis this morning as it was covered. We were delayed going down to breakfast as we watched one of Eclipse’s sister ships, the Silhouette slide along beside us. It was lovely to see her again as she has given us our two best Celebrity cruises to date. The crew all seemed to be really excited having the two ships berthed right next to each other.
We collected our breakfast from the Oceanview Cafe and ate it up by the Sunset Bar this morning and had a great view of both ships side by side. It was quite a strange feeling having an almost identical ship right next to you.
No beaches today and all we did was get off briefly for a stroll round the port area where I succumbed to another T-shirt. I also seized a great opportunity to photograph the two ships side by side. We were off for about an hour before getting back on and taking advantage of a quiet ship and pool deck. Just a few scattered clouds to contend with until just after 3:30 when it clouded over again. We have really enjoyed a lovely relaxing day onboard with lunch in the Oceanview Cafe.
The plan is for theatre and dinner tonight. The act on in the theatre is a British lady by the name of Jayne Curry, a singer and entertainer. Unusually she was also on last night, our table mates who went to see her last night all said she was very good.
