trying to find the menus also, the app gives some menus for specialty resturants but none for the main dining rooms, used to be easy to check.

this week the RCI Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity EDGE both stopped in San Juan so looking like if it's listed then you will be going there. We are on the APEX next week, March 12 and our first stop should be SJ.  

 

Happy cruising

Bev

the email I got from Celebrity yesterday indicates  testing untill March 31, plus masks in theater and casino.  Our cruise is on the APEX Mar 12.  We ordered our tests from Optum so will be prepared. The tests took a week to get to us so be aware order in plenty of time

Woodwinds gave us the best snorkle adventure we ever had, they provide wet suits, all needed equipment. They take extra time to make sure everyone is having a great time plus staying safe plus checking to see that the equipment is fitted for you.  My BIL does not swim but wanted to give it a try= safety vest, noodle and he just loved it.  They bring camera guy along and we got some fantastic pics. Snacks, light lunch and drinks were provided.  

space launch now is a good app. lists the date, time, type of launch. Also video available through the app.

thanks a million for a wonderful review. After having to cancel 3 cruises due to covid we have been less than excited for our APEX March cruise. You review has turned us around and we are super excited to be able to cruise again and enjoy ourselves.

Happy Sailing.

I have never been enticed to take a greek cruise but I sure am now!  Thank you for sharing such beautiful locations.  We will sail APEX in March and thinking ahead to what to book while on board..:)

 

thanks for the beautiful pictures of the ship and also food at Blu.  We don't sail till March so I will enjoy your cruise through your report.

Happy Sailing

We go to the Port alot while visiting Cocoa Beach. Fish Lips at the port has good food and drinks and plenty of choices that make our whole family happy

Like others I sure appreciate the Blu menus!  Are the special drinks in Blu included with the prem. drink package they look delish. 🙂 

Enjoy your cruise, we sail in March on The Apex and you have convinced me we need to drive down a day early and not have the stress of a 4 hr drive from Central FL..

We are in aqua. Love the layout especially the bathroom. And lots of storage. Really nothing major to complain about and this is my about 45th celebrity.  Just glad to be back at sea.

Are they not serving breakfast in Blu?  Breakfast here is a big draw for us, have no desire to deal with the buffet area in the morning.  Hope everything gets better for you

the Pic of you and Cpt Kate is awesome!!  

Sometimes in a repo cruise it takes longer to clear the ship, so spend some extra time on the beach and go to the port around 1-2 then your cabin is ready.

We have done 2 Hawaii cruises on Celebrity Solstice, flew to Honolulu and stayed 3 days before the cruise. Visited Maui overnighted so we were able to do several tours there, then Kona, nighttime sail to see active lava (so cool) and Hilo. then on to Vancouver. We loved these cruises with plenty of relaxing time after all the touring.

Ovation of the Seas will be doing some Hawaii cruises starting in 2019 and we plan to do a back to back in 2020 Australia-Hawaii, Hawaii-Vacouver.

Prices are very good for the 2019 runs.

Cliff, the Woodwind tour was the best snorkeling tour we have ever taken. My BIL does not swim and was very worried about the whole thing. They set him up with a wrap around vest and a noodle and stayed with him during all of the snorkeling. My husband needs perscription lens and they even had some that worked great for him.

We saw thousands of fish, turtles and wonderful corals.

The price also included drinks, snacks and lunch.

All so helpful, even my BIL said if we go to Bonaire again he wants to snorkle. :)

Give it a week or so, I think some tour operators are so busy doing tours they don't check their emails very often. I Will say Woodwind is well worth what ever you have to do for a tour, we did it in April and there were a couple ladies that sat on the boat the whole time. You will probably still pay the cost of the tour since your taking a spot

Silhouette is a beautiful ship with an amazing crew. Food is better on Celebrity. We did a 2 week cruise on this ship then sailed on her sister ships and every time was fantastic!

We go back and forth between X and RCI mostly depends on the ports and of course the price! I would pay extra to go on the Silhouette!

I was reading the Royal Caribbean web site, but not close enough.

 

The 2019 TP doesn't even stop in New Zealand. Its the 2020 TP from Sydney that stops in Picton and Wellington. So my comment may or may not apply to your TP journey. Sorry if I gave you the wrong information.

We are on the 2020 TP. At any rate your pictures are beautiful. We sure wish we could find a cruise prior to the TP that would take us into the Fjordland but so far no joy :(.

Really enjoying your review, pictures are wonderful! We will be on the Ovation for the TP so seeing port and ship pictures sure makes us look forward even more.

Thank you for taking the time to post it all

We found plenty of taxis right at the port. around $25 and they were happy with $$ or a CC

Electric Tea kettles are available in JS and above. If you’re in a lesser cabin, ask your room steward for one.

this only if your sailing in Europe.

You can get tea, hot water and ice in the Windjammer

We are waiting for this one too :) hoping to get the same cabin for both sailings

Does anyone have any idea when Hawaii will be out for 2020, hoping to book it for a B2B with the

2020 TP?

We have used the Mobile Passport for our last 3 cruises out of Port Everglades- Love it! Makes customs so much simpler and fast. Pair it with the Luggage Valet and you will have the best disembarkation ever!

Wow!! We are going on a Transpacific cruise and I think it will take us all of the 18 days plus B2B 11 days to see all of this ship! Thanks for all the work to share with us!
