I can’t put my finger on it but the last part of the last day it just felt like a weight was lifted off the staff. My impression was that loads had been given time off until after getting back on after Amsterdam and prior to that it was under too much stress to cope fully; certainly, there were lots of faces we hadn’t seen before then (well, we’d hardly seen any before then to be fair). It really was a chalk and cheese situation.

If it had all been bad then Celebrity wouldn’t get a look-in for future consideration. But that last night was awesome. So irritating.

Full reviews from this and many, many photos and videos will probably be quite some time coming. Still haven’t completed Diamond Princess cruise write-up. Then there’s the Iceland weekender. Then there’s the Star Princess trip. Good grief, I might not get around to Celebrity until after our next cruise and that won’t be until September.
