We've done both. We always take the taxi now. The boat....well, you have to wait for it to fill up. And fill up means squishing people in really tightly....all the while sitting in the hot sun. Our boat broke down on the way there. One recently sunk. Plus you are dropped off a ways from Atlantis. You have to then walk there, uphill. (Downhill on the way back...LOL)

Does Apex suffer from the noise issue that plagues Beyond?

The Haven has some larger suites that accommodate families, so if you're "unlucky" you might get a sailing with a lot of children. We were. The kids were always in the pool. They considered it theirs and any adults who ventured in got splashed a lot. It seemed on purpose. The Haven restaurant was great, even though the menu doesn't change. DH still talks about having lobster every day. They do have a strange water policy, though We were on Joy. We'd still consider booking another Haven cruise. We've also been on MSC's Yacht Club and liked that too. Royal Caribbean's Crown Loft Suite on Symphony is next. I'll let you know how it compares.

I emailed my son who lives in New Jersey, but he's traveling so he was away from the quake, but my daughter-in-law was home and felt it. She said it felt like a train going through the house. They live in Asbury. (Not Asbury Park). When I lived in Long Valley, NJ, we had some minor earthquakes in the early '70s. The sound was more like a crash, not a rumbling.

No lotion?

Is there a casino in Bimini. Is it open during the day?

I don't usually print them. If I didn't this time I probably wouldn't have noticed a voucher for a free specialty dinner for two. So at least look through them.

Yes, on the 30th day. Just as you all said.❤️

Perhaps..... Although we've booked with them several times and never got specialty dining from them. We do have very generous OBC on this booking, but I'm not complaining if they want to give me more. Since this cruise has Labadee cancelled with no replacement port, I thought maybe it was from Royal.

Received my cruise documents today☺️ Within the docs was a coupon for a Specialty Dinner for 2. Is this new? It was a welcome surprise for me. It says the reservations have to be made onboard, voucher can't be used for reservations made online prior to the cruise.

It's been a few years since we've been on Celebrity. But otherwise I agree with you.

Oh, I knew that. I just mis-read TeeRick's post thinking that mixed drinks were also available from 11 to 11PM.

? Mixed drinks, too? Like what?

thank you all.😄

Me, too.

My cruise is April 28 and my cruise docs (and luggage tags) are not available. When should I expect them?

Mine is 33 days and still no cruise docs or luggage tags. Is this normal?

Do you think this could be subject to change. I see that our Symphony cruise on April 28 has Labadee substituted with another sea day. Leaving us an itinerary of just Jamaica and Nassau.😣

I watched one during rough seas and the money did not move at all. If you look at them carefully, you can see there's a lip at the end, so the coins and $ have to go uphill.

Do I have to pay then, or can I wait to use my OBC?

We are on Symphony. Can we wait till we're on board to make specialty dining reservations so we can use our OBC? Don't know if Symphony's specialties tend to get booked early. We are in a suite, if that matters.

We like being near the elevators.

Unfortunately, DH thinks his Highlander is a Rolls Royce and doesn't want an attendant driving it. So we always park in the garage.

I'm thinking of booking Connie, leaving from Tampa. What would you suggest we do to avoid this ? (the chaos)

It is pretty crazy at night, but not at all during the day. We were on a cruise that came in on Sunday night and stayed till Wednesday. Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and Mardi Gras is over and it's pretty normal then. Many of the parades are also family friendly.
