Can't decide on the two. A little background.

 

Will be first time to St. Thomas. Coming in on Celebrity. Looking to rent a couple chairs, umbrella and get some drinks. Will be in port from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Quick lunch at the beach. Don't want some place totally remote. Would like it to be at least a somewhat active beach, music, etc.

 

What am I looking at for cab fee to both beaches? Time to both beaches?

 

Much appreciated for any help. I am researched on the forum here but just looking for a llittle more info.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you are a Captain's Club member, the A1 cabin costs the same as an A2. We'll book an A1 if it's on the slant of the hump with the extra large balcony. On our recent Equinox cruise, the pool deck noise wasn't that noticeable most of the time. We've also booked an A1 hump cabin for our upcoming Reflection cruise. Reflection has an extra deck so we will have a cabin above us instead of the pool, so it's definitely worth it on that ship.

 

Ahhh... Guess I was just considering Silhouette. Looking at the layout though I was thinking besides being midship and possibly being on the slant I couldn't see the point of paying more while being under the pool.

 

Thanks for the input.

The things that make you go.... hmmmmmmmm... Let me see... Pay more $$$ for a cabin under the pool... Same deck... Granted midship but still..I thought there has to be something I am missing here. If not are some people really that gullible?

OK... Sailing first time with Celebrity in March. Booked an A2 cabin (1527). Was curious why would anyone book an A1 at a higher price with the location under the pool? It seems like the A2 cabins have a much better location.

 

So for Aqua class cruisers why would you choose an A1 cabin over A2? Just curious if I was missing something.

Demetros Kafetzis will be boarding next Sunday and will be on Silhouette for 3 months. Peppas is the current Captain.

 

Hope I can share Harley stories with him. Sounds like a good guy.

Interesting... Silhouette March 26th... Will be watching this with interest.

One more on my behalf if I could. If I have an aqua class cabin should I worry about specialty dining or will Blu be enough?

 

And with Blu I see it being healthy cuisine... will I get enough food or are the portions small?

Thanks all. TA has sent the form and all looks good. Now bring on March... and drinks.

Curious because neither are showing up online for our March 26th cruise. It was booked through a TA if that matters. Just want to make sure that those perks do happen. I think it was the drink package and $150/person OBC. I see passengers names, dining time but no drink package or OBC listed. First cruise with Celebrity so not familiar with how they handle OBC and drink packages as far as managing reservation online.

 

Thanks in advance for any information.

Check out Fort Lauderdale Inn and Cruise Port. Soon to be 4 Points

By Sheraton

Shuttle from airport and to port

Rate is around 140.00

 

Took your advice and booked this hotel. They do not offer free transportation to the port but from airport to hotel. I think they said $6/person to cruise port. My rate was $195 + tax. About the cheapest I could find.

We will be in St. Thomas on the Celebrity Silhouette. How can I find out how many ships will be in port that day?

Reading with great interest as we will be sailing March 26th on this ship.

 

We have air and cabin (aqua class) but still need hotel. We get in late the night before so just need a place to crash. Staying one day after the cruise also.

 

Will be watching the replies in your review. Thanks for taking the time to submit the review.

Thanks all for taking the time to respond. Do cruise directors change often? I was hoping to find out who the comedian might be on the sailing but I am guessing they change often.

 

Many thanks all.

Sailing on Silhouette March 26th. Does anyone know how long Top Chef will be on that ship?

 

Also, any way to find out who the CD might be at that time? Any idea who the comedian might be at that time?

 

Thanks in advance for any help. Excited for my first Celebrity sailing.

Just wonder with the GoBetter promotion if I would be better to go with the $150 OBC or with the prepaid tips. Obviously one would be the drink package. Was wondering about the second.

 

Thsnks in advance.

needing the same here. Will be watching. Also, not sure on airfare. If I fly into Miami what are my options? I will be searching and see what I can find.

Emails can easily be deleted, blocked, sent to spam folder or even a seperate folder.

hmmmm... Will be watching the responses. Looking at the same itinerary for an April cruise.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on whether port or starboard for a balcony? We are also contemplating Aqua class.

On a 4 night Bahama cruise on the Victory this Sunday. Just curious which night would be formal night.

 

Thanks in advance.

care to share any thoughts on 1050 (looks to be a very nice cabin) or 8395? Will be on the ship this Sunday.

In the same situation as you with my wife not drinking at all. I would definitely get the package if it didn't require us both to get the package but no way I can drink enough for two, nor would the other cruiser like to see me try. Guess we just buy by the drink.

You can send them to me and I will gladly take them on the ship next Sunday and let you know if they work :) hey.... never hurts to try... Good luck to you.

Question concerning carry on luggage if I could.

I know I can bring on one 12pack of pop as can my wife. Also, one bottle of wine/champagne. Can I put two 12 packs of pop and 2 bottles of wine or do they have to be separated? Also, if I have a carry-on of clothes/etc can I also bring this as a second carry-on? And do all carry-ons have to be tagged or just checked luggage tagged?

Thanks in advance for any help.

sticky notes.

Now just remove the "everyone in the cabin over 21 must purchase" policy and this will be the PERFECT drink package!

 

I agree totally. My wife doesn't drink. For me to get the package she would also have to even though she doesn't drink. Crazy. No way I can justify buying 2 with only 1 drinking.
