A couple of weeks ago, we stopped at Burdines Waterfront ChikiTiki Bar for lunch, en route to Key West. It is a little challenging to find, and you need to really pay attention to where you are turning, or you will miss it. Once you’ve made it off the Overseas […]

This is the final installment of the Celebrity Reflection Thanksgiving cruise review. It was a fantastic cruise, overall, starting with our suite. I reserved a category S1 Sky Suite, and chose the aft corner of the ship, much like we had on the Solstice in Alaska.
Our Celebrity Reflection Thanksgiving cruise had a total of eleven dining venues. Well, ten plus Cafe Al Bacio, where there are complimentary pastries and the Gelateria, for delicious gelato for a charge. As for the others, four are available at no additional fee, but with a caveat. Blu is the […]
Celebrity Reflection is a gorgeous ship, and our week aboard was fantastic. You may have already read about dining in Luminae, and I will focus on the specialty restaurants in the next post, so today’s focus is all about the ship: the bars, lounges, lawn club and other public places.

You know how I love to give you stuff, just because you swing by and read my blog? Well, it’s that time of year again! The 2016 Key West Food and Wine Festival promises all sorts of fun, with dinners, brunches, bourbon, seminars and exclusive events. The 2016 Key West […]
The weekend wedding got me thinking, about how much I love a good wedding and how when we got married it never occurred to any of our friends to have a destination wedding. Detroit in January certainly does not count. Although we traveled for many a ceremony, they were all […]
