CEUTA is part of Spain, but attached to Morocco in Africa

Cute little port and a gorgeous day! I walked from end to end. Tons of people out enjoying the day! Lots of statues. School kids were out in groups doing a scavenger hunt - so was easy to find all the local monuments - just followed the the sounds of them snapping their to do list down. Also found a shop to get some of my Halloween custom props!

On April 30th, Angie and Gian , a shipboard sweet couple that meet during the dry dock delays in Belfast , seven months ago, got married with just 28 close family and friends, at sunset in the Observatory Lounge. They then did another " Tying the knot ceremony" for the entire ship on May 1st on the pool deck, officiated by Captain Val . After each service was a special dinner one in the Thistle Dining room and the other at the Outdoor deck of Palms Restaurant. The above video done by VVR Marketing shows the highlights. I ended up being the Wedding Resident Coordinator for the couple and I have a ton of the behind the scene photos of how it all came about. It was a lot of work, but I got to interact with so many great people and really enjoyed the challenge, logistics and organization of the whole thing! It brought so many residents together, in a common bond, it was really something special to have played such a major role.
