Just came off the Equinox on a 7 night ETA Bike Cruise! Freakin awesome!!!! We even had a full out wedding done on our cruise by the owner. There guys think of everything! Now we want to do one of their 12 night bike cruises since Celebrity isn't offering 14 nighters anymore starting next year. Bummer [emoji53]

All of their dates for 2019 are sold out so we're looking at 2020 for a 12 night Repeaters Cruise!! All Repeaters should make it fantastic!! Who's in?

We may even have Steve officiate our wedding if we decide to wait till then! Can't wait to ride Bonaire, Curacao & Aruba!! The photos look awesome!!.

Came off the Eclipse last week and we had a blast on this 14 nighter!!! Met a group from Vegas that were great folks! Even part of history in Bonaire with ETA $ Celebrity. Capt Leo and some other officers were there. By mistake I dumped my pics so if anyone can share with me for Bonaire let me know. Thanks.

Already booked for the Dec Holiday Bike Cruise plus that other that we won at a rally! Damn 2 more bike cruises in 2 years. Yeah!!!!!!

If you have questions feel free.

Hey blazeninthesun..... What date were you on? You sound like Steve or one of the Rd Capts. You are dead on and speak exactly how it is. ETA runs a great operation and when we've seen the rapport they have with the Capts & other officers, they are really respected. We're going back April this year! Can't wait!

So to reply to this 'telephone line' game, I am friends with most of the members of World Turning - the #1 tribute band of Fleetwood Mac. As some of you seem to think you're critics of music (besides cruises), some of the guest musicians were band members of Fleetwood Mac. As with the many other tribute band cruises that are quite successful, this is another one - plain and simple. So there's no ones bubble to burst, no ones thoughts to change, just some great Fleetwood Mac music with awesome musicians. You do know that those Elvis cruises...... Well Elvis is dead in case you thought those tribute music cruises were a bursted bubble. Have a great evening! [emoji41][emoji57][emoji108]

As of 5pm this date. A Federal Supreme Court Judge has approved that anyone in transit, on a holiday cruise that departed from a US Port, valid green cards, and travel visas already in place can still travel to and through the US.

you are so right.

sorry I meant elite plus

So Celebrity said that starting Jan 2017, you will receive equal status. So in Pinnacle with Royal... Does that mean I will now be Zenith instead of Elite Preferred?

Bottom line, the ship's fall under federal not state law therefore until the federal govt agrees and it goes into law that it is not a crime..... Don't bring it with you. You can be busted and locked up and it's not worth.

I have also had the experience to go on the motorcycle cruises- more than 4 times and... I LOVE IT!!! My wife and I have met some of the most wonderful people on these cruises and are still very good friends with them to this day. I will say one thing about this company ETA that puts this on. They've been doing this for over 14 years already and run a fantastic program! Everything is taken care of for us. From the cruise reservations to the rides. I have never seen such a well run company like this. Ya know, someone mentioned before about the logistics for this. It's amazing how this guy Steve who owns the company works with the island people. They love him and his staff!! So many people on the ship that don;t ride were coming up to us and thanking us for making their cruise exciting! Heck all we did was ride our bikes off and on the ship and they loved that!

Don;t ever think or worry if you're booked on the sae cruise as the bike cruise is. It's never more than 29 bikes and about 60 people. Everyone from doctors, lawyers police, firemen, blue collar, white collar and from all walks of life ride bikes. We are good people. Best part of this is that the company that does this will not allow dirt bikes or crotch rockets on these tours so there is never a concern with roudy folks. Try it if you ride... there is nothing better! :)

not bursting my bubble..... I knew from the start that it was a tribute band. Better yet..... it clearly says so in it's title so..... I would guess 'most' would know that.

actually no. I was just mentioning it to see if others were interested as we are. We've done many music tribute cruises and always found most of them to be great. I can't believe why some would post negative remarks when they haven even heard this group or anything. Geez folks.... if you don't care for a band that dedicates their music to one particular group, that's ok but to knock it makes no sense.

Actually that comment has no sense what's so at all. There are loads of tribute bands out there for various reasons and to be able to listen to top musicians and artists that make a great career out of it says alot. Apparently you failed to read the musicians background. Some are the musicians of Fleetwood Mac and others have played with them on other sessions. I still say it would be awesome.

Yes but I also know that Billy Burnett was a member of Fleetwood mac for years and is on a sleuth of the albums. The musicians are incredible! I listen to them on You Tube and they blew my mind! Also heard that the company that is putting this on has done music cruises for over 20 yrs on ships and they are known to also bring into 'The' Artists for some of these bands. The music alone will be off the charts so if you love FM or Stevie Nicks, this will be awesome.

So we heard that Celebrity will be having the Fleetwood Mac Cruise in January 2018. When we called them, they didn't know anything about it so we googled it. YEP!!! It's there!!! There is a company that is putting this on the Equinox! Checked into it and we are PSYCHED!!!! They explained that this is a private group that will be on the Equinox and that it is open to all as long as you book the cruise through them. WE'RE IN!! So if anyone else is looking for this, go search it and it will pop up. We spoke with Tami and she took great care in getting us all set. They are also the ones that do Celebrity's Motorcycle Cruises. Really nice people to deal with. If you're going, please let us know. :)

I know that some of us are booked on Equinox for Jan 2018 because the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band will be performing along with some members from Fleetwood Mac! This is gonna be great! When we called Celebrity, they didn't know anything about this BUT when we google searched Fleetwood Mac Cruise, there is a company that is actually putting this on. You have to book through them to be part of any of this great music so that's what we did. I know we can't come out and say this company but if you google search Fleetwood Mac Cruise, they come right up. We are psyched!!! Come join us! Hope this helps! Here's to smooth sailing!! :)

I am psyched!!!! Just booked for the DEC 9 bike cruise on the Equinox!!! What a great Xmas Gift!!! Anyone else going on this one let me know. Thanks!:)

Just came across this cruise yesterday! I looked into this cruise and it's being put on by a company that has been in this biz a very long time with lots of success. Seems that this tribute cruise is to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks with the #1 touring tribute band of FM. The lead singer is dead on for Stevie and sounds just like her!! I also see that former band members of FM will be there and some of the songwriters/artists of Stevie Nicks, too! Looks like a fantastic Fleetwood Mac cruise filled with their incredible music. They also have performances by BILLY BURNETTE & BILLY FALCON. I know Burnette was a former band member of FM and has a sleuth of recordings with other top artists. His family were the original folk for capturing the sounds now called Rockabilly Music. Bill Falcon and written and performed with Stevie Nicks and is one of the top songwriters of today. He has written many hits for Bon Jovi and continues to write for him. The band members of World Turning are top musicians and singers themselves. This is going to be great!!

What I like about this cruise is that it's not filled with 10+++ bands. The charters are great when you want a large selection of music but I prefer going for the artist that means the most to me. When its a large charter, there is no possible way to get in all of the music and most of the top artists come in and out during the cruise.

Anyway.... the date is JAN 20-27, 2018 aboard the Celebrity Equinox. I know its aways off, but we all know how quick these sell out and I read that this is limited space with only 250 cabins. Just google Fleetwood Mac Tribute Cruise for all the info. That's what I did. Anyone else looking to go? Please let us know.:):cool:

I just spoke with friends in BDA who are also confirming this new token system to get from Navel Yard to Hamilton and other points of interest. Yes... it seems that they are trying to force people to take taxi's as the taxi admin is complaining that they;re losing $$ because of the public transportation. Rubbish!! Taking a taxi in BDA is one of the most expensive fares on ANY island and that is the ripoff. You are still better off taking public and having rolls of quarters the using a taxi there. Taxi's are charging way more then even last year and this will not change. BDA needs to wake up and get this under control before BDA shoots themselves in the foot over these rates and systems. Come on Bermuda...... don't push the tourist $$ away!!

Can't wait! We're doing the Equinox Jan9 and then Eclipse Jan24. We have other couples doing the 10 nighter with us but going by ourselves for the 14 nighter. I know we'll meet other bikers but checking to see if anyone here is joining us? This will be our 5th run on the ETA Motorcycle Cruises but did them all on Royal. Now that they moved to Celebrity, we cant wait to try their ships. We hear they are a step up and the service is fantastic! Well if you'll be there, let us know. Thank you and hve a great New Years Eve.

Anybody else going on the motorcycle cruise aboard the Equinox? This is our 4th trip with the ETA Motorcycle Cruise Groups but first time on Equinox. There are 6 of us couples going. Staying at the Hilton Gardens the night before. ETA took care of it all for us and we are so looking forward to going again. Anyone know about the rides in Barbados? Thanks and happy new year.

As I understand and agree (to a point) that ships are becoming the destination, I find that the ships that continue with the traditions of cruising is what the public really wants and enjoys. You can only do so much water sliding or sexy legs contests but still be able to get off the ship and explore, shop, beach, excursions are what PAX want to do. Why would you find it pleasing to get to a port like St Thomas and only get mid afternoon of daylight to enjoy it. Shopping? The majority still close at 6pm. So the ship is the destination while at sea to keep the herd entertained, but we still want our islands for everything that the islands offer us.

I'm high pinnacle on Royal, shy 100 points from Zenith on Celebrity, top tear on MSC and I still would prefer having the tie to enjoy myself on the island stops. Officers on board the ships will tell you that when their ships are doing overnights or late evening departures, less then 100 people are off their ship after 7pm. Only ones off are the crew - which makes sense. My dear friends at MSC from Rick Sasso and other top executives, they Seaside was built for a top speed of 21 knots. That makes no sense?? Even if that's the 'reason' the drop Nassau which is marked as the worse stop and allow ample time to go somewhere that is worth the stop. The Divina makes and continues to do a better itinerary and that's ashame for their new build. Seaside looks magnificent!! Maybe they'll figure it out.

yep... I'll be there as well! Been there before and its a blast!!!!!
