Yep and Espresso is also black!

Well that was a bust - I emailed him twice with our request for a tour and he took about two weeks to reply. By that time I had contacted another tour company, highly recommended on TripAdvisor, gave them our requirements, they confirmed and so we booked with "pay on the day". Too slow to respond.

We have a tour booked with AceVentura Tours for our upcoming cruise. Try them, they were pretty quick to respond and have good ratings on TripAdvisor.

I think Bojana and Alexandra were on Silhouette in Jun and Sep 2021 when we did the round UK and the Spain Canaries cruises. Alex has subsequently been promoted to junior officer and moved to Reflection, where we were lucky to meet her again in Jun 2022. Anyone on Beyond now send Bojana our love and I'm hoping our paths will cross again some day soon.

Wasn't Bojana in the WCB on the Silhouette? I am sure she was working with Alexandra.

I am also interested in tan answer to this as we booked the Carlisle Bay Beach Break with Celebrity for our upcoming Equinox cruise. What is the snorkeling like there, heard mixed reviews. We have our own equipment, but hubby is not so confident, so he will stay close to shore. I on the other hand will go for miles if there is a lot to see! 🐟🐠

Horse? 🐎😉 Did anyone ask if the thinner patties were Beef?🤨

Greasy is good? 😬

Not quite - we actually preferred the larger juicier "IMHO" burgers served on the Apex! Was looking to see if these were now served on all Celebrity ships. You say Tomato, I say Tomato! 😉

We like to treat ourselves to once or twice to a Celebrity burger from the Mast Grill when on a cruise, usually for a late lunch after excursions. Whilst on the Apex this past September, the size of the burgers seemed to have increased. The burgers we received on the Apex were thick Quarter Pounder burgers, which was a nice surprise. Previous cruises on other Celebrity ships (Silhouette, Milennium, Infinity, etc.) the burgers are usually the normal burger thickness and about 2oz. Just wondered if anyone on recent sailings could confirm if the thicker Quarter Pounder burgers are now being served on the other ships, or just on Apex? Wondered if it was a fleet wide change or special for Apex Mast Grill.

Following as we are on Equinox Southern Caribbean cruise over the Christmas & NYE Holidays. This time we are in 1A verandah, we usually book Concierge rooms on the hump, so we'll see if we miss the CC "benefits".

Can't wait to relive this during our Equinox Holiday and NYE cruise this year! We have been on Eclipse and Infinity over the Christmas NYE holidays in the past and had a blast!

I have just purchased a prescription mask for our upcoming Caribbean cruise (my second mask in 10 years). I find this an absolute necessity for me (-5.25 & -5.0). I tried contacts but they are not suited to me, I also had a prescription insert, which was better than nothing, but fogged up very quickly. I find a prescription mask is great, even though I only snorkel occasionally, once or twice a year. I would recommend. TUSA Elite mask and snorkel set for just under $100.00.

"Roll over Beethoven" All I need to say!

Thanks for the info. Have now decided to book a catamaran sail & snorkel tour to Paradise Reef. Anyone have any feedback on Paradise Reef for snorkeling?

Is Galley Bay any good for snorkeling? Or is Deep Bay better? Looking for a snorkel / beach day from the cruise ship at end of Dec. How much would a taxi be and are they easy to get for the return back to ship?

When we did the "dead sea on your own" tour from Apex in Sep, we went to Kalia Beach Resort. I think the "Masada and Dead Sea" tour used the same one. There are steps to access the beach, but there is a golf buggy to take you down. Some additional walking from the drop off point. Beware if you are unsteady on your feet and even if you have good balance, the walk into the sea is very slippery with mud. There are many chairs and umbrellas on the beach to use, for free and we were given a towel and token for a locker to keep our stuff in. Just up from the beach is a little bar for snacks and drinks. It is a long day and gets very hot.

Following as we will be there in Dec 2022.

Hi 19pamela68, are you there on 27 Dec 2022 on the Equinox? We are on that cruise and also looking for an island tour, with Rum distillery. Would you be interested in sharing a tour?

Following as we are interested in using him for a personalized tour in Dec this year. We are on Celebrity Equinox.

We cruised from Civitavecchia in June this year, and also stayed 2 days prior to our Reflection cruise. We used a tele-med test via a video from our hotel which worked well. We received our results in <15 mins. If you prefer a physical appointment at a pharmacy in town there are a number of options available, contact your hotel to enquire.

I was the upper level, deck 4, left side. Or at least that is where we went and were seated. We were select dining.

We used Stamps Tours for a pre-cruise 2 day tour of Santiago, transfer to Valparaiso port with a tour of Vina del Mar. Very good driver with a clean modern car and nothing was too much trouble.
