Cruise Ship Crime Mysteries Book Event on the Island of Malta

I’ve been cruising as a ship’s doctor for over ten years. Now, I’m director of a medical specialty group in Canada and author the Cruise Ship Crime Mysteries series but still take time to go on cruises! Each time I go, I think that things could possibly not get better, and yet each cruise surprises me. The Celebrity Silhouette, the 2nd newest Solstice Class ship, though clearly a Solstice ship, seems somehow to be a cut above its predecessors. I personally love that the Corning Glass Show has been replaced with the Lawn Grill – the fee is minimal and though we personally did not eat there as, simply put, with so many ports of call, there was very little time to do all that Silhouette has to offer – we met many guests on board who were raving about their experience and returned several times to the Lawn Grill, enjoying the fun, camaraderie, party atmosphere, and excellent food.

We’re presently on the island of Malta. I met up with many of the guests on board and held a book event in Valetta. I’m happy to report that the book reading went very well, and an enthusiastic group from England announced that their book group intends on reading The Cruise Ship Mysteries this winter.

Next we are off to adventures in Catania, Sicily. I‘m planning on taking the tour on Mt. Etna. The tour will stop at lava fields and we’ll be hiking over the rims of past eruptions. Hopefully Mt. Etna won’t be shrouded in clouds but will be sunny and clear. Very exciting.

Celebrity Silhouette Wins Our Hearts

Out cruising on the Celebrity Silhouette and we’re having an amazing experience. This is a great ship for those who appreciate the variety of activities, entertainment, and cuisine a large ship can deliver. It’s also a great ship for those who like a more elegant, sophisticated atmosphere.

Celebrity Silhouette is a large, modern cruise liner with a gross tonnage of 122,000 and capacity for just under 3,000 passengers and 1,500 crewmembers. Despite it being a very large ship, carrying a lot of people, it doesn’t feel crowded or busy at all. The public areas on board are spacious, modern and have plenty of room for all guests to enjoy the facilities offered.

We began our 2-week Mediterranean adventure in Venice on October 31st and have made our way to other ports of call such as Slovenia, Ravenna, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and we’re now in Corfu heading toward Malta, Sicily, Naples and then on to Rome.

This is a very port intensive cruise! My book signings are going very well with lots of interest in the Cruise Ship Crime Mysteries series. And I’m working on final edits for number 5 as we speak!

Today is bright and sunny with 22C/75F temperature.
