March 8, 2020 Celebrity Edge International Women's Day Sailing and the Cruise where the world shut down

 Honestly, the most memorable part of this cruise will be sitting on the infinite edge balcony getting email after email of cancellations and questions and worries as COVID 19 took over the world. We worried about being able to disembark. We grieved the cancellation of the dream Panama Canal cruise we were supposed to board right after this cruise. It was stressful. It was hard to have to break the news to the crew that their cruises would likely be cancelled. They worried about their families, their income, and what would come next. 

Even with all that, we still had some incredible moments:

Listening the the full leadership team talk about the challenges of being a woman in the maritime industry. 

We spent a lot of time at the nightclub for the Captain's Club happy hours, games,  archery, and live band karaoke. Our bartenders Nova and Brandon. We absolutely loved this band. I even corrected the Cruise Director when she got the band's name wrong at the Captain's Club happy hour.
