A Day at Sea


Last day of the cruise. I have been totally impressed with the crew of Celebrity’s Galaxy. You are handed a sani hand wash towel every time you return to the ship and every time you enter the dining room and a 2nd person waits for you to use it before you can put it in their trash. When we had a rain shower one day (still 80 degrees) the pool butlers squeegeed the water away and it soon was dry again. Every staff members greets you, everytime they pass you. The service is amazing.
The ship weights 777,7 13 tons, is 866’ long, 105’ wide and has a draught of only 25’, It was fascinating to watch it dock and go sideways in and out of the ports. It was built in Germany in 1996. The ships stores were formidable. 21,600 lbs of beef, 3,250 lobster, 600 gallons of the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted, 8,650 dozen eggs and 10,100 bottles of beer. There were 954 staterooms, 24 public areas, 14 decks, and 3 swimming pools. The entertainment was continuous; the company great and we are really enjoying ourselves. Trust me, when someone makes my bed, cooks, serves all the food, and does the dishes, what's not to like. This never happens. It's perfect.
I am thankful we’ve had the opportunity to see this part of the world. The history, culture, climate, vibrant colors and warm people have been fascinating. They just make you smile continuously.
