Default Hello from Charleston

Just sitting down for a few minutes in the Charleston Library to check
my e-mail on my way back from Ft.Sumter. The Library gives out cards
with 60 minutes of free Wi-Fi access.

Galaxy has been great so far. Embarkation was a lot better than last
year. Food very good so far. Ship isinvery good shape. It has been a
bit chilly. Can't sit by the pool yet. Last year it was about 15
degrees warmer here in Charleston.

Nice to hear from you, Charles. Smart tip on the WiFi
arrangement at the library.

Hope you continue to enjoy your cruise & that you reach some
warmer days soon! Those of us in Texas and nearby are
following your take on the Galaxy very closely as she's
coming down to Galveston for the winter...keep the reports
coming!

Hey Charles,

Good to hear from you.

Not surprised. How's the crowd on this one?

It has been a
bit chilly. Can't sit by the pool yet. Last year it was about 15
degrees warmer here in Charleston.


Get up to the disco and do a little moving for me, Charles.

And I promise we won't use up all the pina colada mix this summer in the
Med.

Is the food very good overall, or are there inconsistent areas?

Hi Charles,
Nice of you to stay in touch! How good of the Charleston Library. As Diana,
I will be interested in what you think of the Galaxy as I hope to be able to
book her when she comes to Texas, too. Gotta' give Celebrity another chance,
you know!
Hope the temps increase and the rest of your cruise continues to be as good
as you have reported thus far..

Oh sure, Tom! ;-) No blue martinis? Are they going to renovate her after
your Med cruise or before?
What is this ceiling thingee you are talking about?

I didn't hear anything about a renovation.

It is hot here in St. Thomas. Sitting on the promenade deck at the
Havensight dock. Picking up several open wi-fi's. Some might not want
to take advantage of one of those. The early weather makes me think
that those Nov thru April cruises out of New York may not be such a hot
idea so to speak. Went to St. John today. Wonderfull. Snorkeled at
Trunk Bay. Yesterday went to Orient Beach for a couple of hours. We
arrived seven hours late due to a medical evacuation. We were there
from 3:00pm to 11:00 pm. Also most shops were closed as it was
Carnival.

Galaxy is a great ship. You should consider it out of Galveston. I am
disapointed it is leaving Baltimore.
