For my little Meatball that was a great moment: out of his traveling box on a ship deck! So much excitement all in one day!

The Celebrity Edge with its 3,373 passengers has left the dock at Costa Maya.

 

Of the ship's features, her most notable is an orange protruding platform, called the "Magic Carpet," suspended along the starboard side of the ship.

 

The “Magic Carpet” is designed to facilitate safer and more accessible tender process and to host dining and lounge space while the ship is at sea - oh yeh, extra cost, right.

 

From the look of the ugly smoke from its stacks I wonder if the Edge was juiced up with the new regulation bunker fuel required as of 01 January 2020?

 

Whatever, I am going to leave the Regent Seven Seas Explorer docked in Costa Maya until mid April - we leave Friday 28 February for South America - going to check if water in the sink drain rotates in the correct direction (Coriolis effect).

 

See you all in April.

Isn't it a beautiful place to go for a walk?

And that was the end of the the first day on Taxiarchis

So, we were stuck on the ms Noordam for 5 long sea days with little to break the monotony of seeing nothing but open ocean. So a couple of onboard photos.

Our Neptune Suite was comfortable.

staring into the endless misty ocean, past midnight, my heart nearly stopped beating,* when i saw a shadow appearing from the deepest darkness of the waves.

Cheese is on a ship at night, looking at a star for guidance. What a gentle, hopeful creature.

I'll get back around to

reediting this one as I'm not

pleased with it. Just don't have

time right...

Once settled up, let's have a walk on the deck and see what's the view before leaving the port.

Werehouses, cranes and heavy machinery on one side...

We were all settled up 2 whole hours before sailing. (I always got that thing of worrying to be late so, I usually show up veeeery early at port, train station, bus terninals...)

Cats on the moon, black-dressed girls and stars made of pencil FC #2 (I assume...) were the decoration of our table

Nice to know there are enough of those liferafts when traveling on the sea
