Our cruise ship, the Celebration,prepares to leave the dock in New Orleans, heading down the Mississippi River toward the Western Carribbean.

Goodbye New Orleans!

There are a lot of activities on board, from just enjoying the sun out on the deck to dancing the night away. Exploring the ship is also an experience. The food is excellent, with several choices for any discerning diner. From casino gambling and Vegas-style musical revues to singing waiters, it is possible to find something interesting happening at all hours.

The cabin stewards made us welcome by creating exotic animals out of towels, as well as leaving little useful gifts on our beds, such as playing cards and sun screen. Don't go to bed without enjoying the chocolate mint left on the pillow!

My favorite towel animal, Ellie the Elephant.

First Stop:

Montego Bay, Jamaica.

    At each port of call travelers can disembark and sightsee. The best way to do this in unfamiliar places is to take a guided tour. The Cruise Director will have informational sessions during the days at sea to acquaint you with tour availability, as well as things to do and things not to do during your stay. In Jamaica there were several tours that looked exciting, but time only allowed one choice. The following pictures are from our tour of Montego Bay. During the course of the tour we were able to bargain with local craft vendors as well as visit a main shopping area, and relax at Margaritaville. We then soaked up the sun at a beautiful, sparkling clean, blue water beach.

Margaritaville is a bar / restaurant, mostly frequented by tourists. The most interesting feature of Margaritaville is a large slide that goes from the roof of the building down into the Carribbean Sea. The day that we were there, the slide was closed because the seas were rough.
