Transatlantic - 6 days at sea

The six days at sea during the transatlantic is giving us time to explore the ship after the port intensive itineraries we have had.

Some things of interest have been:

Gambling: We used our free gambling coupons and then put a little more in to thank Celebrity for having a non-smoking casino. We also participated in the free pre-loaded slot machines time when they turn the machines on with some credit pre-loaded and everyone can play until all the credit it is gone. It was lots of fun! Of course we put our winnings back into the machine but it was all for entertainment anyways.

I attended one of the talks which wasn't too good but then saw one on TV that was a little better. As a result I'll be attending one today to check it out.

We get free video on demand movies in our rooms. Some of them have been very good. It is a nice feature.

I went to the free spa sampler and got a 5 min. hot stone massage sample. Not worth paying for but fun. I don't think I will be using the spa on this cruise. The spa staff is a bit snippy. However I have used the weight machines in the gym a few times and they are really nice.

We've been sampling the different dining venues. Including the spa cafe where everything is super healthy and pretty tasteless. However, they do have some fruit infusions which are quite good.

We also sampled the gluten free crepes which were excellent (pic. 1). I didn't know they could make gluten free crepes otherwise I would have tried this option earlier. We stumbled across it while wandering the ship last night and a helpful server checked to see if they could make them gluten free and they could. We also discovered that they had one desert at the coffee bar that was gluten free and no cost to us. Of course we tried that right away.
