Well, I've never been in Havana Cabana and booked it on the Mardi Gras. Based on larger, more popular Havana areas, I'm wondering about the privacy of the patio area. That's my main concern with this stateroom. Any issues?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the solo lounge has the cappuccino machine like the Breakaway? Thanks.

Good evening. I've searched but haven't been able to find the answer.

1) Since the Revolution, do you need a light card for the Equinox staterooms?

2) Who is the current Cruise Director? (I know it may be different when we sail.)

Thanks.

Would you mind posting the cover charges for the restaurants that had them (rather than a la carte)?

Thanks.

Sorry for the double post - don't know why it did that.

Thank you all. While it was easier to do it when the feature appeared under the forum, it's nice to know there's an option.

There used to be a "Search this Forum" (say, for a specific cruise line) function, but I can't find it anymore. The search at the top brings back results from the entire website, not just a particular forum.

Am I missing something, or is the function gone?

 I thought legal notification in the US was by letter.

Legal notification of what? Maybe a lawsuit or intent to sue (and that will vary from state to state), or threat to turn off your utilities or other necessities of life.

But there is no legal requirement to notify you that you may be about to breach a contract and suffer the consequences. Nor that you have breached a contract.

What you wanted is a reminder, not a "legal notification."

(And by the way, if you don't pay your credit card bill,  "I didn't get a bill" is not a legally-recognized excuse. You are expected to know when you usually get the bill and to follow up on your own if you don't.)

I'm going to be cruising for 2 weeks for the first time, so I'm bringing this. Don't know if I'll use it or not, but I'll have it.

Dreidel is Yiddish not Hebrew.

In Hebrew, it's "sevivon".

All Greek to me 😉

 

And when I grew up Chanukah was Hanukkah. 1970's Midwest

And of course in both languages, there's only one way to spell the words, but since they both use a different alphabet, and have sounds that don't exist in English or the Latin alphabet, it's hard to write them. 

I download a virtual menorah onto my phone.

"Mexican Caribbean" usually refers Cozumel/Cancun/Costa Maya and such, which cruises labeled "Western Caribbean" visit.

I know that Celebrity and RCCL are working on the ability to do your Checkin using a smart phone app.   I know they have rolled It out on Constellation  and I know that Equinox and Reflection are also in the App at this time.   I've never used it but hopefully some that have given it a try will fill you in.    

 

They have also rolled out RF cards with these ships.    I suspect that you will be able to use your APP for drinks and stuff until you get your seapass in your room. 

Do you know the name of the app? Going on Equinox soon. Thanks.

For the cruise lines I am most familiar with, the deposit for a SOLO is equal to the double occupancy deposit.

I've been able to pay only an individual deposit when traveling solo in a double stateroom. Of course, in some cases that may not work, and then there would be no refund of the deposit.

I really appreciate your suggestion but having to shop in a manic rush really takes the joy out of it.  I'd like to take my time and sniff all the different fragrances and shop at a leisurely pace.......

Another thought - since Bath & Body Works is a chain, ask the manager while you're shopping if you can purchase the candles there, and pay for them, and then pick them up in the Miami store? I know you can do such things at other chains, like Bed Bath & Beyond. Then after the cruise, you just hop out, collect the already-chosen and paid for candles (so no rush), and go to the airport. 

Couldn't hurt to ask!

I would simply let security know you have them (maybe have them bagged up so they're easy to inspect). The port agent will likely take them (you'll never even get them on the ship), give you a claim check, and keep them until disembarkation. After you disembark and go through Customs, there will be a place for you to reclaim the candles. The security teams at the port do this sort of thing all the time for surge protectors, irons, knives, and all sorts of other items that are perfectly legal but cannot be taken onboard.

You should have no issue.

If you get an earlier disembarkation number, you can go to Guest Services and request the latest disembarkation time. As noted, it won't be "late", but it will be later.

If it happens before final payment, the cruise line recalculates the fare to account for the single supplement. If a refundable deposit fare was chosen initially, the deposit for the second person should be refunded.

I hope she doesn't arrive at the pool too early on the last sea day...

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE THIS!!!! 

I often travel alone. I use something like this, locked through the handles of my beach bag. https://www.amazon.com/SAFEGO-Portable-Travel-Lockbox-Combination/dp/B017RQUIC4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1540171589&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=safego%2Bportable%2Bsafe&th=1

We did only the 7 day cruise as well. It was absolutely worth it. If you can, I suggest a one-way rather than RT Seattle. They go further north in Alaska. I also suggest one that goes through Glacier Bay National Park; it's spectacular. Currently, I believe that only Princess, Holland America and Norwegian have licenses to sail there.

We're booked on Silhoutte on 12/1/2019 (12 day cruise). Any idea when she goes out of service to enable a completion date of 1/24/2020?

What part of "non-refundable" did you not understand? What part of "ports are not guaranteed" did you not understand? In what world does a contract (which is what these are) not apply to you under the guise of "customer service"?

Sea grass question - are you still able to swim? As long as there's swimmable ocean, I'm a happy camper.

So if I don't have a tour booked (we just want to go to the Truman Little White House and Hemingway House), we have to take the trolley to Mallory Square and backtrack from there? Sorry to be dense; just need to know what to expect.

Thanks.
