Celebrity Edge

Naming Ceremony
Celebrity Cruise Lines revolutionary new ship is designed to leave the future behind. It is the most anticipated ship of the year. I was invited to sail on the exciting naming ceremony with all the celebrations and exciting parties and activities!
Boarding the ship at their brand new terminal at Port Everglades, Florida.
The Magic Carpet in the side of the ship moves up and down.
The Iconic Suite is the most sumptuous Suite on the Edge and is over 1800 square feet, two bedrooms and an expansive private terrace with hot tub and lounges.
Eden is a multi-story venue that is enclosed by glass at the back of the ship with breathtaking views. There is a cafe and a restaurant plus a bar and many areas to lounge. Eden blends all the elements of nature that give it a unique feeling. During the even there are theatrical performances that move through the venue and are interactive. It’s definitely an experience.
We all met up in the Martini Bar for cocktails, then dinner, then Eden at night!
The Retreat is the exclusive sanctuary for every suite guest. There’s a sundeck with a lounge area, pool, hot tub, pool butlers, the Lounge with good and drink plus live entertainment.
Luminae is a deliciously exclusive dining experience for Suite Guests with modern, eclectic cuisine and extraordinary service.
The Sunset Bar at the back of the ship is a great place for expansive views and great drinks.
The Main areas of the ship are beautiful and elegant.
The restaurants are so beautiful and delicious! There are main dining rooms and specialty dining.
The naming ceremony was impressive with Malala Yousafzai as the Godmother.
We had a lot of fun at night too, cocktails before dinner, dinner, Eden, The Club, lots to do!
Thank you Celebrity Cruises for hosting me on the gorgeous new Edge.
Cancun 2018 part 3
August 2018
Today was a beautiful day, perfect to finally relax and enjoy everything that the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach has to offer!
View from my terrace
Just love this view, every time I was in my Master Suite I come out here to admire the beauty.
Tequila, salsa & chips on the beach.
Great lunch with friends.
Relaxing in the pool and sea!
My favorite picture, a setting I dream about when I am having a hard day at work. Infinity pool, beach, ocean view and umbrella drink….
Cancun 2018 part 2
August 2018
We visited Fiesta Americana Condesa and Live Aqua today, both Le Coleccion Resorts. Live Aqua was so serene and spa like. Definitely love this adults only resort!
Fiesta Americana Condesa is a family friendly resort not far from Live Aqua.
Le Basilic is a AAA Five Diamond Restaurant at the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach. It was an amazing culinary experience!
Nice to come back to the room and have something sweet.
Cancun 2018 part 1
August 2018
Haven’t visited the hotel zone of Cancun in a few years so it was great to be back. The beaches here have always been my favorite!
I stayed The Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, right on the point. We stayed in the Grand Club level and had an amazing Master Suite with a huge terrace overlooking the pool and turquoise water.
Breakfast in the lounge with the best view!
Beach party was so pretty, I loved the set up and it was a gorgeous night.
Shoe Butler holds your shoes before you walk into the sand. Then rinses your feet in warm water after you leave the sand! Love this!!
Sandals Negril
September 2018
Love Negril! Back again to stay at Sandals Negril on Seven Mile Beach. Totally different vibe than South Coast but both are amazing.
The resort is longer than deeper as it follows along the beach so that you are never more than a minute or two from the water.
We had a great afternoon free to enjoy the resort and the beach. Our Butler was amazing and really took care of us all day.
We had a Sandals beach party that evening so we had some appetizers and champagne before the party.
The last morning was so beautiful, just didn’t want to leave.
Goodbye Negril, I will be back.
Rick’s Cafe, Negril
September 2018
Always a fun place to visit. Rick’s Cafe is the place to watch cliff divers on the westernmost coast of Jamaica. It is also the place to watch the sunset with reggae music and a Red Stripe.
Too bad it was overcast and we missed the sunset but we still had a blast!
Beaches Negril
September 2018
Beaches is a family resort in Negril, on the West Coast of Jamaica. Much smaller than its sister Resort in Turks & Caicos and Ocho Rios.
Back to Jamaica, Sandals South Coast
September 2018
I have a love for Jamaica and the more I go the more I want to go back. The people are what makes it for me, there is something about them that is endearing. Their gorgeous island, beautiful beaches, Blue Mountain coffee, Jerk everything, Reggae Music and soothing accents might be part of the reason.
Headed to Sandals South Coast, a long, curvy and bumpy road. Had to grab a meat pie and a Red Stripe for the ride.
South Coast is beautiful and remote, there’s not much else there so people stay at the resort and enjoy all the amenities.
The next morning was beautiful and we had a great breakfast with mimosas! After that was work, we had our training session and property/room inspections.
The Overwater Bungalows are so pretty and are positioned in a heart shape in the water. They all have butlers and private decks.
Afternoon free, a big thunderstorm and great lunch. Then time for cocktails at Latitudes Overwater Bar. Dinner was fun too with an amazing French dinner!
