I've missed being on the water, but I am concerned it may take a year or two for cruising to work out the details of our new normal.

To scratch this itch, my wife and I plan a cruise of the California coast this September. Best case, Celebrity knocks it out of the park, and all my concerns are unfounded. Worst case, the ship provides transportation and a hotel room for some of my favorite destinations.
If I can find a few more people interested in joining us, then Celebrity offers some great group discounts! Just reply below if you are curious!
