Book ahead of time for Avila. They were booked full when we were there this week.

Check in started at 10:30 for the Silhouett on 1/24. Doors to board opened around 1045-1100.

Got an update last night on our Equinox sailing. For Bonaire this morning, shore excursions are still required, but for Curacao tomorrow and Aruba the day after, ship sponsored excursions are no longer required.
That is Great News! We are currently on the Silhouette and visit the ABC islands over the next 10 days. Hoping we are allowed to visit these islands on our own. Four port days including two days in Aruba.
-
Even the Silhouette 1/24/22 cruise has no excursions listed. There was a full list that disappeared. ???
-
This is very confusing. After many years of cruising we have found excursions and beaches we prefer to use. I understand All of the problems with COVID, but if we just want to go to a beach …..
Emailed Bonaire cruisers to cancel and they wrote back that they have been renting to cruisers.
-
Thanks! I never scrolled through the full document. Some have been making reservations with local operators. We booked with Bonaire Cruisers, golf carts that you drive around the island. Looks like I need to cancel that excursion.

Many mixed messages on excursions in the Caribbean. Are you required to book Celebrity excursions? Silhouette 1/24/2022, stopping in Nassau, Cartagena, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. We have been to these ports many times and are mainly looking for warm weather and sunny beaches.
-
If you are Elite level you will receive a 10% discount. But only if you upgrade your beverage pkg before boarding.

I cancelled my cruise directly with Celebrity on Friday. No email received stating a cancellation. The cruise is still showing on my account. Anyone else have this happen? Did you receive an email showing cancellation. My cruise date is close, 3/15/2020.
-
We are booked for March 15 and will be cancelling. I’m in a higher risk pool due to my health and doctor said to stay home!
-
As we have an evening flight, We were wondering how late we could stay on the ship. Thanks for posting this info. What restaurants are available? Are the pools open? Did you feel it was worth the cost? Would you choose this option again. Thanks!
-
We have had three cruises cancelled by Celebrity directly. Each time we were given up to $200 pp towards an airline rebooking fee. Even if your ticket is “non refundable”, you can rebook at a later time minus the $200 fee ( Delta airlines rules).
-
Is the $25 per person? Or for two? Thanks

Oh, and my cost to upgrade was 9pp pd. Not sure if that is a sale price or not.
Is this the price if you have the premium package? How much if you have the classic?

I am booked on a March 2020 Southern Caribbean Cruise on the Silhouette and a March 2021 Southern Caribbean Cruise on the Equinox. Both cruises stop in Kingstown, St Vincent. This is a new port for me. I was wondering if this is a new port for all cruise ships. Can anyone comment?
I booked a shore excursion from St Vincent called "The Bequia Retreat", which is a six and one-half hour catamaran sail over to and sailing around the island of Bequia. It is an hour (8 miles) from where we port in St Vincent to get to Bequia. I can't find any information about ship's excursions for St Vincent. Help? Where can I look for excursion reviews, or is this such a new port for cruise lines, that none exist?
I am taking these cruises as for years I have been taking the 14 night Southern Caribbean cruises, which were discontinued for 2020 and beyond. These 12 night Southern Caribbean cruises are the longest I can find for the Caribbean. No more 14 dayers.
Same here - we also have been on the 14 night cruises. This is also a new port for us in St. Vincent so I was also looking for ideas. Did you book this excursion directly?
-
Customs at the port took an hour. We need Global Entry! Left the ship at 8 am and in taxi by 9am. Five customs agents. Do not use first line as they also add in handicap pass with same custom agent making the line much slower.
We also used luggage valet. Worked out great. Airport a breeze as we have sky priority with Delta. Three hours until our flight.

Reflection on 1/4/2019 prices did not change.
Holiday cruises do not offer dining packages. We found this out by calling Captains Club.

Not currently onboard, bummer. Along with what you have mentioned when we book future cruises on embarkation day we have also received a bottle of wine and a few other small gifts for each cruise we book. Some nice gifts we keep others we giveaway. We always know the ship, sail date (s), itinerary(s), cabin, dining preference and all the associated perks being offered on line for that cruise.
Interesting. We always book onboard for the obc. Also one or two perks, depending on class of cabin. But never have we received a bottle of wine or other gifts. Do you receive these extra gifts only by booking on the first day? Never booked on day one as there is always so much going on.

We leave on the Reflection for a 14 day cruise in a little over a month. Thanks for posting the dessert and dinner menus. Looking forward to lots of great meals!

Just upgraded our 1/4/19 booking with a 30% discount, $7/day +18% = $8.26/day for 14 days = $115.64 pp. If you like the Martini Bar or a glass of wine just two drinks/day will break even.
1/31/20 booking is not included. For a 14 day cruise at 30% off I figure it's not going to get any better so might as well pay for the upgrade out of my OBC. Not sure how they decide what bookings are included. Atwell just checked and stated sailings up to May 11, 2020. I'll check again in a few days.

Great topic. Living in the cold and snowy Tundra of Minnesota, a 14 day Caribbean Cruise is a respite from winter. We like the ABC islands and prefer a 14 day cruise. Interesting to see what you chose.

Mama day, you would not want to do the Creole trip. You are picked up at the dock and have to step down into the boat and at Bird Island, you must climb down and up the boat ladder—in the water.
Thanks PRH. My mobility is improving. Exercises twice daily helps but still difficult sitting in low places and then standing back up. It’s hard to explain. I can walk longer distances and go up and down stairs with a handrail.

We had an OBC from AmEx on our September cruise on the Reflection. Don't remember how much it was but we didn't use it and got it back within days of our return.
Where can I find info on the AmEx cruise credit?

I also noticed the price increase. Our sailing is Jan 2019 so I’ve been waiting for a sale. Second guessing myself and wish I would have booked it earlier.
Equinox Review mostly some pictures

We also were on Equinox January 12-21. Ready to go again. Thanks for the lovely pictures as we did not take many.
