I took a cruise to Bermuda on the Meridian in 1991, and it was a great experience.

💔this kills my heart…I was a Sommelier onboard the Meridian in 1996, probably the only female Sommelier back then, and I loved that ship so much!

I took that cruise twice. Those were the best. One time we hit a hurricane and half the passengers took flights home as soon as we arrived in Bermuda

Enjoyed this when it was Galileo, it was very vintage (in a good way). Rough seas, ropes in the saloons. Exiled down on Elba deck, I had worries about fire.

What an awesome look back! Sadly, we never had a chance of sailing aboard this beloved ship, but we've thoroughly enjoyed our 46 cruises aboard Celebrity to Bermuda since May, 1999. We love Bermuda AND Celebrity and, as Long Islanders, we don't have to fly--- this is a vacation we hope to resume in May providing the "no sail" order is lifted and Celebrity Summit is part of the trickle of ships resuming service.

THANK YOU for uploading this video! We sailed on the Meridian back in 1992 from N.Y. to Bermuda. It was our 2nd cruise and we are currently booked on our 13th for 2021. Even then, an older ship (built in the '60s), It was the one and ONLY time that I experienced a crew member at the gangway that took your bags and escorted you to your cabin. Great, GREAT memories aboard the Meridian! So sad of her demise sinking off the coast of Malaysia as the SunVista. I subscribed to your channel.

You welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! I got to sail her as Galileo right before her conversion to the Meridian. I do remember the escort on boarding Celebrity used to have. I sailed the Horizon back in 90 and 91 and remember that service! The good old days lol!

my first cruise back in 1993 out of Philadelphia to Bermuda. Looking back, this ship was so primitive compared to the ships today.
