we watched 2 episodes of succession on HBO plus a basketball game.  All streamed.  So yes, it's been good.  Phone calls to kids who are dog sitting have been good.  

Its pretty crowded on all areas around the pool.  Including higher decks 

I will ask about the Pelaton.  I jog or elliptical as well as lift.  There was leg compressors there but I think they do it as a service.  I have them at home to help with sore muscles from hiking.  

Thanks so much!! Appreciate the info. Enjoy your cruise!

Our cabin is all the way near the very end of the hall.  We are right near the gym which is on deck 12.  Currently Im here as I don't ever sleep well from years of a 7p-7a RN.  So here I am at 530am.  Yes, gym was unlocked!  Im good with that as I hate having to wait to use machines to lift.  Gym is typical cruise ship fare.  There is water in here plus cups!

As an aside, I have the basic wifi.  Working well this am.  

 

Edited:  There are Peloton bikes

We will be on Mar 18 for the same itinerary! Looking forward to your updates..

few questions:

- do you need to reserve the Peloton bikes ahead of time? 
- how is the premium wifi now that you’ve been on a few days? Ok during sea days? I may need to work here and so hoping since Equinox has Starlink, it’s decent 

- we also have a pool at home so zero desire to go in the pool on the ship so I usually lay on a lounger above the pool deck - how was the availability for those on a sea day? 
 

thank you!!

We took Octopus snorkel tour in Dec 2022. They do a decent job - we had a private boat for four of us and they took us to 3 snorkel spots (one by Arashi beach, another where there is a sunken ship and then again towards the beach). They provided drinks and all equipment. Staff was nice. I think if you want a private snorkel tour at a decent price, they are a good choice.  

We took a cab from the port to Holiday Inn and their stand was a short walk on the Beach from there. They are right by Pelican Nest so we had lunch there after our tour.

I am currently on the Equinox and i have one person one device plan on their Starlink.   I open account in my name.   Once i log in i create a shortcut on the homescreen of my ipad.   I then signed my wife in on her ipad using my sign in username and password.  Screen asked me if i wanted to switch to this device. I said yes and voilà she was signed in i then added the shortcut to her ipad homescreen   After that whoever used it last just stayed signed in until the other opened their ipad and opened the shortcut at which time it asked if wanted to switch to that device.   We never have to sign out as when one person uses it the  other person is automatically signed out.   I do this process for our two ipads and two iphones , however only one device can be signed in at a time.    If i purchased one person and two or more devices all of the devices up to the max i purchased for could be signed in at sane time all using my user name and password

 

Disclaimer: I am not that technically savvy to know how to do that on my own so on first day of cruise I took our two ipads to the internet support person and she supplied me with that information and actually did the setups for me and ensured it worked as she said it would.  
 

it works for us because we dont both need to be on the internet continuously at the same time.  
 

hope tis info is helpful

Yes! So helpful - thank you! How is the wifi? I was on a different cruise line last week and had the upgraded plan and it felt like dial-up 😞 so frustrating! hopefully since Celebrity has Starlink, it is better!.

You can use it on different devices...say your Iphone then you can log out and use it on your labtop by signing back it and going through the whole set up again (but not both devices at the same time). I suppose you can do this with your wife but to me its a pain signing in and out each time with the set up. I am saying you would have to remove it completly from the one device then reload it on  the other.

Thank you for the information as I had this exact question.

To clarify - if I purchase the 2 device plan, then I could use it on my iphone and then would need to log-off if my son would want to use wifi on his phone? Is it done through the Celebrity app and he needs an account of some sorts? The wifi cost is crazy so would like to do the 2 device plan if possible rather than each purchase 1 device of the premium. Hopefully the wifi is good on the Equinox!

I'm trying to book a tour with Bumpiing Tours but I have not gotten a response.  It's been almost a week since I filled out the form on the contact page.

Anyone have any ideas of another way to contact them.

i would try him on the e-mail address - he is usually very responsive.

Thanks for posting!  These tours look great.  Can I ask how far in advance you booked?  Just starting to research for February 2021, and don't want to book so far out they forget about us, but don't leave it too late.

Hi! We booked about 3 weeks in advance - which was very late considering it was a holiday cruise - but luckily he had room for us. I would recommend maybe 3-4 months in advance you should be fine! 

It is 5 to 6 hrs - he makes sure to get you back to your cruise ship on time. Have fun! 

We recently returned from our 11-day holiday cruise and it made a stop at Dominica. I had never been to this island before so this forum was helpful in giving me some ideas and vendors to reach out to. 

We ended up selecting Bumpiing Tours with Levi and I cannot say enough good things about it! The communication from the start was very good - he let us know what tours were available for the day we will be there and I had some back and forth with him on gear needed and he was always responsive. 

We selected the Roseau Valley Treasures tour which included Champagne Reef Snorkel, Titou Gorge, Trafalger Falls, Botanical Gardens (drive through) and Morne Bruce. It was the perfect itinerary to see all the highlights of the island. You can tell Levi loves his country and is passionate about showing everyone what a beautiful country it is. We had our 8 year old with us and he was attentive to make sure he felt safe getting in and out of the water, hiking, etc. We had a group of about 10 which was perfect. Titou Gorge was truly the highlight - so beautiful and tranquil - highly recommend that including that in your stop. 

I can honestly say it was the best tour we went on throughout the cruise so don't hesitate to book with Levi (levibaron@bumpiingtours.com). Cost was VERY reasonable as well - $55 for adults and $45 for kids and we tipped as well. Beer and water included. 

I added this offer to my AmEx - thank you!

Ques: Does this offer apply if I go on the HAL website and purchase beverage package, internet, shore excursions, dining, etc and use my AmEx to do so? or is it only for purchasing OBC? 

TIA!

Prior to leaving for our cruise, I was scouring through the various threads to find the best beach to spend the day on at St Thomas. Everyone on here was so helpful!

I ultimate ended up choosing Lindquist Beach and was there on Mar 28 (we were on Celebrity Silhouette) and it was a beautiful day so I wanted to share my review.

Lindquist or Smith Bay is right near Sapphire Beach. It is about a 20-25 min cab ride from Crown Bay Port and it costs $11/pp each way (we got the cab driver's card and called him to pick us up when we were ready). There is also a $5 fee pp at the entrance of the beach as it is a state park. There is a very nice restroom/shower area and lifeguards. The only downside is there is no place to buy food, however, there is a vendor there selling water, alcohol, sodas and he also rents out the chairs - they were $5 each. No umbrellas but some trees for shade.

It is a GORGEOUS beach! I have included some pictures. There were some waves, but nothing huge and it actually ended up being fun for my 6 yr old to play in. There is also some seagrape like vegetation floating on top, but again, nothing bothersome. There were two cruise tours that went through the beach while we were there but there is enough room for everyone to spread out and once they leave, the beach is pretty much all yours.

For food - I prepared ahead of time and brought pre-packaged snacks from home and they lasted us through the day.

All-in-all a great beach to consider if you are looking for something a bit quieter than Sapphire, Emerald or Magens.

Enjoy!

Celebrity newbie here.. so apologies for the silly question..

Are the non-alcoholic packages on sale too? If so, do you just add it to your cart on the Cruise Planner and Check out? I tried doing that and it just shows the full price... TIA

PS - perhaps this is not applicable to all sailings? I am on the Silhouette on Mar 25
