Anyone else booked on this sailing?  

Anyone else sailing on this one?  I'll have one of the single studio cabins - first time in a non-balcony cabin.  Hope to meet some friends!

Greetings, all! 

My husband and I will be sailing on Equinox 10/20/2020. Will anyone else be sailing with us? 

I'll be boarding when you disembark on 10/26/2020.

Anyone else going on this sailing?

Paul - have not been following, until now, just read every post. Fantastic job!

My partner, Rick, and I sailed an 11-nighter on Equinox back in November, 2016, had a fantastic time and fell in love with it.

I'll be sailing on Equinox on November 5. Unfortunately, my partner of nearly 16 years lost his battle with cancer and passed in May of last year so I will be cruising solo. But, I won't be alone, sailing with dear friends Amy and Mark (MrsB05) ... and, who knows, maybe I'll meet someone onboard! LOL

We fell in love with the Martini bar, and the Sunset Martini, had several each night. There were two servers that were fantastic, Boris and John, more than once they both brought us drinks at the same time since they knew what we liked. I have to wonder if they might still be onboard, it would be great to see them again.

Anyway, thanks for your fantastic blog ... I can hardly wait until November!

Anyone else going on this sailing? I'll be cruising solo since my partner passed away last year. Would be great to meet someone onboard! :)

Wow, I was excited to see a thread for my upcoming cruise! Then i realized it's the thread I started. LOL I guess no other family on this sailing - which is very hard to believe being such a large ship. :)

Anyone else going on the Oasis Halloween cruise??

Terry I have also commented on the social media site we cant speak of on CC :D

 

It is an hour bus ride to the start of the tour, then an hour and a half bus ride back at the end. Actual time on the ferry is just over 5 hours.

I can access this site from work (during lunch, of course), but I cannot access that "social media site which must not be named" from work - I'll check that this evening.

Many thanks for the info!

Terry

In Panama the CO26 ship tour of the Cannel is excellent, 8 hours.

Hoping someone might be able to provide a little more info on this excursion. We currently have it booked for our Equinox cruise in November, but my partner has some lung issues and is concerned.

How much time is actually spent on the ferryboat?

Are there places on the ferryboat that are air conditioned where he might duck in for some relief from the heat & humidity every so often?

Is the area where lunch is served air conditioned?

Many thanks for any info!

Terry

I hate to hear about the cancellations, such a shame. I was really hoping to book it for us for April, 2015. Oh, well.

The villa is still listed for sale as far as I can see and it can be yours for $5,800,000.:D

Oh, man, let me grab my checkbook! :rolleyes: LOL

We're booked on the Jewel of the Seas B2B in December and had booked this tour as soon as we booked the cruise, as we tried to do it on our Celebrity cruise last December, but unfortunately it was sold out. However, I received an email this week saying that the tour had been cancelled. Needless to say we were very disappointed as we've heard such amazing feedback about it. Anyone happen to know why they're no longer offering this excursion?? Also, will they be offering something else, similar to this tour perhaps?

We saw it still listed for our cruise but when we went to book it said the excursion could not be found. We called RCL and they couldn't find it listed. Add that to what you've found and it looks pretty grim.

When my manager and her husband went there in April they said the owners told her the villa was for sale, so I guess it may have sold and the new owners aren't willing to have people there now. Just a guess, but sounds reasonable if the excursion isn't available anymore.

Terry

Awesome!! What did she say was so great?

Nothing in particular, and yet everything! She said the food was fantastic, the villa is beautiful, the two pools are amazing, the views are breathtaking, and on and on. She just wouldn't stop raving about it! LOL

Wondering if anyone has any information about this shore excursion offered by celebrity or royal caribbean? Thanks!

A client of mine (who also happens to be my boss at my day job!) just returned yesterday from an RCCL cruise that stopped in St. Maarten, she and her hubby did this excursion and she has just RAVED all morning about how WONDERFUL it was. A little pricey, but she said it is well worth it for the day.

I'm sold on it, just hope they are still offering it the next time I'm in St. Maarten in 2015!

Terry

We are booked! Anyone else going on this one?

Terry & Rick

Just got back from Freedom of the Seas! A little rough sailing the last couple days due to that pesty storm Sandy, but we still had a great time!

Terry

We'll be on the Carnival Liberty 4/14/12 for 7 days of bliss. This will be my girlfriend and I very 1st cruise and we are so excited! We are actually overly excited because we already have everything packed lol.

 

We are from Fort Lauderdale, FL. Any FOD's onboard with us?

Hi, Pinklover! We'll be sailing on April 14 as well (did you realize that's the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic?) - but we'll be on Carnival Dream.

Terry

Anyone else going on Carnival Dream, 4/14/2012? Two couples from Jacksonville will be on board!

Terry

Hey guys its duval009 from jax its been a while been busy working.merry christmas to you both . Going cruising out of jax oct 27th/12 5 dayer with a group of friends come along for the ride.

Would love to, but we will be on RCCL's Freedom of the Seas then, a 7 dayer that leaves Oct 21, 2012, and returns Oct 28, 2012. Sorry!

Terry

Proper behavior...

Now *there* is a dying art. ;)

Amen!

Hello, all! I have not had a chance to read all of this thread yet, but I will! We have done several "regular" cruises (see list in signature) and we have always been a couple on them. Not once have we had an issue. Okay, there was one couple that didn't come back to our dining room table the next night ... their loss! LOL Mind you, we do not go around "sucking face" (remember that from "On Golden Pond? LOL) in public, but we do not hide the fact that we are a couple. We have met some fantastic people and now have very dear friends from all over the world and we all try to cruise together each October. Oddly enough, they are all straight couples, and we are the only gay couple ... but that's never bothered us, or them.

We did book with a gay group on a regular cruise once ... that will never happen again. A few bad apples spoiled it for the lot - I won't even go into some of the behavior we witnessed in public areas, but I kept saying to myself "Okay, guys, a little decorum ... and GET A ROOM" (or at least go to your cabin for that!) LOL If it were an all gay cruise, that might be different ... but, I'm still thinking there's a time and place for everything, and a glass elevator in the middle of the day is not the time or place for sex acts, know what I mean?! LOL

Looking forward to our cruise next month on RCCL's Serenade of the Seas! Have a great day!

Terry
