Ascent Sea Day

Yesterday was our second sea day. While Angie worked, I spent the morning at the Sunset Bar on Deck 15 Aft. Beautiful weather! She joined me after a little while. Lunch was at Luminae where we both had Cobb Salads and Asian Stir Fry. Both so good!! At 2PM we had a premium wine tasting. We got to taste some excellent wines and see how the flavors changed with cheeses. 

 The most unusual was the Amarone which is a style and grape I had never had. It has a very smokey aroma - almost like burnt tires. Not a great start. But surprisingly once it opened up more it was terrific with the Parmesan Romano. The saltiness really balanced the flavor. Definitely not a sessionable wine to drink on its own. But amazing with a salty cheese.  

At 4:30 we had a Captain's Club event to meet the senior officers. And before dinner we headed to Craft Social where they had make your own old fashions. The menu has your options and you filled out a card with your choices. Also ordered some Sriracha wings and sliders. Both very good snacks.  

We went back to the cabin to get ready for the evening show and dinner. Last night it was "Bridges". As good as "Residency" was on the second night, this was on the opposite side of the spectrum. It was just a series of songs with a few subpar costume changes. And they never really utilized the set pieces. It was definitely a "Bridge Too Far" for me. 

Dinner was at Luminae. It was the same menu we had on the Reflection last week. I again ordered the poached lobster and scallops. Both very good. After a long day, we were both pretty tired so instead of pushing ourselves to catch the show in Eden, we headed to the cabin. 

Today is our last sea day. We had breakfast at the Spa Cafe. Our last Detox smoothie!! Until we sail Celebrity again in December. We're now at the Retreat Pool Deck enjoying a nice breeze. Smooth seas as we head back to Port Everglades tomorrow. Then we'll board the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas.
