Panama Canal Cruise 2013:
Day 3 - At Sea
Day 3 - At Sea
 |
Sunday, January 20, 2013: We indulged in room service breakfast on our second at-sea day, delivered by our butler, Zenobio. |
 |
In the early afternoon, we attended a wine tasting organized by Cruise Critic members Jim and Marylou, shown here with Nell, the Celebrity staff member who helped reserve and set up the room for us. |
 |
Each attending couple brought a bottle of wine to share, and we started with our bottle, Oliver Winery's Camelot Mead. Jim poured a small serving for each of the 20+ people there. |
 |
A person from each group stood up to introduce themselves and to tell us a little about the wine they brought. Jenny from New Zealand described the white wine that she and her friend, Sue, brought. |
 |
After working our way through the white wines, Tom and Liz's bottle was the first of the reds to be tasted. |
 |
Walter and Beth brought two bottles with them. Other wines included bottles from the 100th annual Calgary Stampede, Pennsylvania, and British Columbia. |
 |
After everything had been tasted and we were thoroughly drunk, we lined up the bottles on the bar for a photo session. We had such a good time that we discussed doing it again later in the cruise. |
 |
Later in our cabin, we wolfed down desserts and sandwiches for tea. |
 |
Sunset over the Caribbean Sea was beautiful. |
