As you can tell, I'm technically challenged.

Hi, hope you still got pics of your cousins room 6403.

thank you

Larry

Hi Larry, although I did not get pictures of the room, I did go see it, and I can tell  you, if booking an inside, I would definitely book these rooms midship on deck 6.  His room actually looked larger than my V3 balcony room which was on the hump off the mid ship elevators.  More storage space too than what I had.  He took pictures, but has yet to send them to me.

Decisions decisions.  We did have an excursion booked to Roxxy Beach Club through Celebrity, but it was canceled.  So now, we will just take the water taxi to Great Bay Beach.  When getting off the water taxi, I read for both, Miguels and Big Bastards, to walk to the right.  Does anybody know which place requires the least amount of walking?  Or, in the alternative, can we take a taxi from the cruise ship pier DIRECTLY to either of these places?

We're cruising on 1/15, and today, I received an email that Celebrity canceled this excursion.  Disappointed, as the youtube videos of Roxxy Beach Club looked very nice!

Does anybody have any idea when these sailings are going to be released and what ship they will be coming to Boston?

We are in the exact same situation that you are.   We also are not beach people and not interested in that may Caribbean islands, we were very interested in the Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Key West and even Bimini.  A few changes would have been OK, but this is a completely different cruise. 

 

I talked to our travel agent today, she encouraged us to wait until at least January, and see if they make some other changes.  We got the same benefits you did, when we booked almost a year ago.  It is hard to give this all up, but the Itinerary does not sound very interesting.  We also live about 45 minutes from the port and have enjoyed many cruises out of Boston on a number of cruise lines. 

 

I have looked at every other cruise out of Boston in October and it is just Canada which we did last year, and the year before.  We were really looking for something different.  We will wait till the new year at least.  Let's hope they rethink some of this. 

Celebrity has their repo cruise which goes from Boston to FLL with stops in Bermuda and the ABC  islands in October on the Eclipse.  It is a 10 nighter.

We cruised on the Gem this past Aug. and were in a club balcony right near mid ship elevator on starboard side  and did not have any noise issues whatsoever.

We will be stopping in Tobago 25 Nov on X Silhouette.
We are doing a ship excursion to Club Pigeon Point Beach.
I will report back (to include mine and others experiences)

 

How was your day at Pigeon Point Beach?

It looks like the Silhouette - Oct 10th-20th.  It is not yet available to book.  Just keep checking daily.  This is the cruise we are looking to book. It will be going to Fort Lauderdale, not Miami, I believe.

This is available to book now.  It is not stopping in Bermuda though.  Just going to the ABC islands.

We have done all of Bermuda trips in September and October 

Always great weather, and still warm waters for swimming 😊

Not many kiddos 

We've been to Bermuda in May, June, August, September, and October (mostly on NCL).  September is our favorite month to visit Bermuda.

I did post this on the St. Maarten board, but nobody responded.  If you have done this excursion through Celebrity, would you tell me about your experience there please.  Thank you.

Previously, I had booked this excursion to Pigeon Point Beach for our Silhouette cruise for this upcoming January, but have since canceled it and decided it would be a nice day to hang on the ship while many others are off in port.  I'm glad you did have a nice time though.

We will be on the Silhouette in Jan., and will be stopping in St. Maarten.  I just noticed this excursion listed and it is discounted 30 percent.  As we still had OBC left, I booked this for us.   I looked at some you tube videos and it looks quite nice and I did read some reviews on trip advisor, but they were not from people booking the excursion through cruise lines.  However, I know that on Great Bay Beach, there are people selling stuff that can be annoying at times.  I did not read anything about that for this beach club.  If you have done this excursion through Celebrity or another cruise line, would you please tell me your experience.  Thank you.

Thanks for posting!  I have been checking every few days for this!

You're welcome!!!

I purchased the upgrade a little while ago for $13.99 pp per day and check pricing damn near daily.  Today, it dropped to $6.99 pp per day.  Check your pricing for 2025 cruises today!  Obviously, I canceled and rebooked it.

Been to Bermuda well over a dozen times.  Usually don't book excursions for Bermuda through the cruiseline; however, with that being said, we are considering booking this one, as we have lots of OBC to utilize.  If  you have done this excursion, which beach does it take you to?

You should also look at Adventures Antigua. Eli's Eco Tour is  a great tour with snorkeling, lunch, and a stop at Hell;s Gate.

We've done Eli's Eco Tour many years ago.  We do have quite a bit of on board credit to use up, so we have  numerous shore excursions booked through Celebrity.

Are you taking this on the Silhouette? I think I'm on the same excursion 

I am.  We are on the 1/15/24 Silhouette cruise.

Thank you to everyone who responded.   I'm going to keep our excursion booked!

This Oct., I used MJS Transportation for me and my husband from Port of Miami to FLL Airport.  I think it was about $50 for the two of us.  Our flight was at 12:25 p.m. and we got off the ship about 9:15 a.m.  Got to the airport in plenty of time.

My #1 go-to hotel before a cruise is the Sonesta on FLL Beach.  Love the location.  I have also stayed at the Riverside in Los Olas which was nice too.
