Blu



Ozelem, from Turkey was our asst waiter. She is as perky as she looks. She is a little disappointed that she will soon be transferred to the new ship in Celebrity's line. She has made friends on the Solstice. The new ship will sail the Carribean. The downside, as I think about it, will be that the customers will probably be younger party animals.



Here is Brian. He is from Goa, India-of Portugese descent. He was a lovely somilier.



Here is Billy with our new friend, Sonja. Sonja was our dinner companion almost every night. Her English allowed us to have great conversations. She has a good sense of humor. She celebrates her 80th birthday 25 Nov 2011. I'm hoping she keeps in touch and we might be able to visit each other.




Here is our famous Billy Graham. Jesse was our first waiter, but Billy got transfered to us the second night. I'm thinking it had something to do with a drama queen who hobbled out of the dining room on one crutch. Her loss. Billy was great. Not so easy to come back from a kick in the teeth, but he works hard and we adore him.

Houses Near the Port




This person has a Celebrity X beach towell-clearly a fan. 

The other advantages of living next to the port is the beach just a short walk away.

Celebrity and Carnival


Carnival Canadians.


Apparently Port Everglades is wide enough for two big ships to pass.

More Carnival Canadians.
