The view from my "office"

[DejaBrew]

This morning’s office -:





Fuji-san!!! Always a great sight (even from a distance).



@sudoer - I notice that Beck has emigrated and traded up from a stand to a legitimate shop front

Far more hungover salarymen needing caffeine in Japan - I'm sure the move has been good for business.

フラットホワイトふたつください!

Not tempted? . (Actually I was on Ovation of the Seas when she was brand new from the builder, but I can’t imagine going on a ship that size these days.)

Not at all. A cruise - heck yeah. This ship? Heck no.

We were on the beachfront renting when Covid struck. We used to watch the cruise ships come in and out. Then nothing for a couple of years. A couple of moves later and we are renting again even closer to outer harbour. There are so many cruise ships this year. Diamond Princess a regular but also Viking, and many others.

I’ll wave to you from Celebrity Edge in very early December. I have no plans to disembark, using the ship as a resort holiday. Quite a change from Silversea and Azamara, but I wanted to try Celebrity after so many years.

Pretty early, innit? Oh........ wait. This happened at home.

I like Celebrity ships. It’s been a while for me but planning an Asia cruise next year.

I just watched a CC webinar today for another 50 “PowerUp points”*. Since COVID, I’ve earned 100+ status credits with Captains Club and now almost at “Elite” status!

*PowerUp points convert 10:1 to status points.

Very nice. We were booked on Edge in July 2020. And we know where that went. Celebrity rebooked us for July 2021. Rinse and repeat. Sigh. In 2026 we are booked on Celebrity Apex, a sister ship, in an aft cabin for the Solar Eclipse. Next year for Japan we are booked on Celebrity Millenium. We find Celebrity more of a fun ship and a little more adult than RCL. We like Celebrity.

The lounge looks extremely comfy.

So did I. It was a tad boring but they mentioned the cruise we are on as one of the back to backs.

When I say “watched”, I just opened it on the PC and went and did more important stuff!

I tried playing a game during it but it just stopped so could only use the browser to while away the 58 minutes.

It's actually quite funny that you both said that. It is amaaaaaaaaaazingly comfy. We had some guests over from Ireland last week, and they both said NOOOOOOOOOO Don't get rid of it! We love it! Haha. But, it's been 10+ years now.

Going to replace with this: Muse Range | Sofology
2.5 seater, electric. Can fit 3 people side by side. Mrs FB even joked that it means we'll be on the same seat and might even see/cuddle each other in the future. We'll see

Breakfast, shower, iron some clothes… . Just make sure it’s in full screen so it doesn’t go into screensaver mode!

I had it running (on mute) while doing some book work. Then I realised how useless the points would be anyway. I made Elite 8-10 years ago when we cruised Celebrity and Azamara regularly. With the upcoming cruise I will move up to Elite +, so no need for further pointers. I will never make Zenith!
