Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. As am I....I logged in on my Dell Laptop and my iPhone.
  2. We've done Bonaire Cruisers (who rent the golf carts) several times. A lot of fun!! On the south route - do stop at Foodie's for lunch. They book out quickly so if that's what you want to do - don't wait.
  3. We did the very last balcony on the 9th deck on the Allure right above the Aqua Theatre. On a whim. We could see the ocean. We could see the rehearsals for the Aqua show from our balcony. We could watch the wall climbers. We listened to the staff at Johnny Rockets do impromptu shows down below. We could people watch. It wasn't too noisy at night. During the day it could be, but we were also out and about. Would I book it again? No. It was a LONG WALK from the elevators. I certainly got my steps in on that cruise. If it were that or an inside.....I probably would book it again....! 🙂
  4. Absolutely make reservations for Eden....several times!! It was that good. Also, the Eden cafe did nice breakfasts and lunches. Loved the restaurant concept. Enjoyed the different themed offerings. Make sure you see the shows in the Club. Get there early as seating is limited.
  5. We have plans to stay three or four nights in Singapore. We are IHG credit card people so we have hotel points and will stay in Clarke Quay. I am excited about the hawker centers. We just figure after such a long flight it would be to our benefit to relax at the Changi airport before we hit the ground. P.S. On your recommendations - I have already downloaded Grab!
  6. Do tell about this Royal Pasta Day Promo.... I could definitely be on board about this!!!! We plan on using at least one of our BOGO's on Jamie's on the Anthem in a few weeks.
  7. We are doing the Millie in 2025 and will book one overnight at the airport as we get off and then head to Singapore proper before our cruise. Everything I've read about it makes me excited to stay overnight!
  8. No real formal nights. Button down and slacks are fine. Airline luggage weight restrictions killed formal nights.
  9. We will also be on the next week's Equinox sailing. I so hope that they resume. Will report back after the cruise.
  10. Aruba you can take the bus or a taxi to Boca Catalina or Arashi Beach. From Catalina go right, from Arashi go left.
  11. We too had one on the Apex and loved it. An actual balcony. The porthole view was not really that obstructed.
  12. Thank you for your straightforward and honest review. We are going on the Equinox with our best college buds in two weeks. Was mostly worried about the quality of the food on board. Happy to hear that the MDR was good. We are not expecting the wow dishes that we have gotten on Celebrity before (thinking back to the Michael Roux days) but glad that it was not awful as it been reported this year. Glad to hear Mast Grill was ok - we had it on the Apex last year and they were awful hockey pucks. Hopefully we can get close to rare or medium rare. Always do at least two or three lunches at Sushi and a couple of lunches in the MDR. We are not big buffet people but I do enjoy the Indian fare offerings. Not happy to hear about the entertainment. Our last four cruises were on E class and we were blown away by the shows and variety. We are coming into the Equinox with much lower expectations based on E class but we have enjoyed S class in the past. We did not get a drink package this time as it was cost prohibitive, especially with one non and one light drinker. We are Elite in our own right on Celebrity (D+ on RCCL) and haven't done a non- drink package cruise since before COVID. We have 7 pm dining just for that reason. How were they with the Elite drinks otherwise?
  13. We upgraded to premium on our last Apex B2B in February. It was great at the martini bar and other bars as far as drinks go. DH likes premium single malt Scotch and I like to experiment. Wines by the glass was AWFUL. Everything that was premium was not available in the MDR and bars except they somehow miraculously sometimes appeared at the speciality restaurants. This time we will forgo and purchase as we go. We are Elite so we can do the Happy Hour and the breakfast and will bring on our two bottles of better wine and buy a few with our discount.
  14. If we ever go back to Curacao and have a full day we would rent from Advance again. Seamless experience - unlike Avis. Unfortunately we get in late this trip and will just walk around downtown.
  15. We are doing a B2B on Millie - Singapore to Tokyo (Yokohama), Tokyo to Tokyo. We would like to do a tour of Tokyo the day in between cruises. Celebrity does not offer anything - just airport transfers. Does anyone know if they do Private Journey Consult Tours for turn around days? Thanks!
