3 October Honolulu Blue Hawaii

3 October Honolulu Blue Hawaii

We got out in the sun before it turned too hot. We mingled with new partners through the various trivia and had a lot of fun on the last day of the cruise. There is a Starbucks a few minutes walk away and we made our way there twice, checking out the signal strength in preparation for a Skyp session tomorrow.

We had a very productive time, getting the blog up, doing emails and facebook, checking the credit cards and paying off one of them. Bad news from 28 Degrees, until now the perfect travelling credit card – they will be slapping a 3% fee on all cash advances. We will check whether that applies if you maintain a debit balance, which we do to avoid their high interest rates. We struggled somewhat to download music using the reward cards Celebrity have been handing out for music quizzes but eventually succeeded. Which made it hard to understand why we then gave the rest away?

 Blue water.  Pearl Harbour in distance.

 Honolulu, Waikiki & Diamond head in distance

 Pooooool!

 

My daughter Courtney has apparently made the first cut for the WA quest for Miss Universe. Well, she would wouldn’t she?

We finally received details of the process for changing cabins tomorrow. They have been very generous and offered alternatives. They have also issued us fresh cruise cards which, importantly, confirm the new room number for the balcony stateroom they told us about yesterday. Woo Hoo for Celebrity.

We made it back for another dinner on the back terrace, watching planes arriving and leaving, including the pairs of little fighter jets that reared up into the sky and swept away out to sea. The early show was a something of a reminder of the entertainment highlights of the cruise so far and we finished with a creditable second in the final music quiz.

We will be enjoying this (extra large) balcony for the next 19 days.  Woohooo.
