LIVE 47 Days 3 Ships Caribbean Escape January 30th - March 20th!
countess5 replied to countess5's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Dinner last night was the Taj Dinner. It was outside the dinning package, $45 PP plus 18%. As I said in the beginning, food is subjective. My thought on the event is we did it, it was an experience but would not try it again. Food was good but there were 6 couples. No event just Indian food served. I like experiences. it was another Captains Cocktail party last night. Barbie with Peter the Cruise Director Barbie with the Captain.( he was jealous that she got her pic with Peter first) Another nice event with a great staff! Sitting in the Sky Lounge Just set sail. more on today later, my Tito’s is watering down! 🍸😂 Cheers! -

Ok I have to share what happened yesterday. I mentioned we were going to play Deal or no Deal. Sooooooo! First you buy your cards, Then you show up and…..you are selected to play the game! 🙄 yes that’s me on the right. For those who knows the game, I selected suitcase 8 because that is my DW birthday. We start out and do fairly well. Then the offers started. I get down to 5 suitcases. A penny, 50 cents, $50 along with $100 and hold on $1,000. I am offered $223 to buy my suitcase. If I continue and pick the $1,000 suitcase then my offer really drops. I take the $223 offer, How can I pick the $1,000 suitcase out of 20 cases? 🤔 ok you are getting a head of me. We continue but I am out. The offers would have gone up because I select the low numbers. ok the end……I had the $1,000 case! 😫 All I can say was that it was fun and the money went to DW Home Goods fund ( for those that know that store) 😂 Cheers -

No question is out of bounds. we always eat in specialty restaurants. We are not “MDR” people. Yes we have a lot of OBC but it not we would still buy the full dining package. That is just something we do but OBC makes it easier. Equinox has limited restaurants so Tuscan becomes our main dining area. Cheers! -

Hello from the middle of the Caribbean. Sitting in Al Bacio for a double Expresso, Ruth will be our server. Not a lot to catch up on from yesterday, I do have a couple of observations. We went up to the 14th deck to grab a lounger and have some fresh air. I brought our music and we found a quite spot for two, at least I thought so. We are laying there listening to our musics and all of a sudden two people sit one lounger away from me and then another couple comes and is one lounger away from DW. Why do I make a fuss of this? Take all ok at the loungers! The first couple had left when I took this picture. Are these people lonely? In addition the guy next to me snored! 🙄 Dinner was Tuscan and again the service was fantastic! The kids that have been serving us have been so much fun. Dinner was during sail away. Not a great sun set. The Epic was docked behind us as we said goodbye to Aruba and onto a sea day today. Today is card playing , a talk on the Queen from our British Cruise Director Peter and then Deal or No Deal! Last time we played, last year, walked away with $250! 😀🤑 Lemon Tart and Expresso time. Jim if you are following along this one’s for you, not my favorite topping! Cheers! -

Not sure how the sunset picture got into the last post, anyway decided so far today to stay onboard. Quite and just enjoying the sights. and then some around the deck shots You know the spots. I have to end with this…… a couple is walking past us on our loungers. The wife is in front with the husband following. The wife turns around and ask, I’m I going in the right direction? The husband responded, where are you going? The wife, I don’t know. The husband, then your going in the right direction! 😂😂 Cheers! -

Morning from Aruba! we actually are docked downtown! Last year we had the furthest dock away and had to walk to town. 😀 We left Curaçao at 10 PM last night for the short hop over to Aruba. looks like we may hit town today. My nephew was here prior to Christmas and said the local beer called Chill was good. Like to get a pic with one and send it to him. More to come Cheers! -

Addition if you are on Equinox before June, you need to see Ernesto! He is the real deal and service outstanding. A family man with a 6 year old and wife expecting in June. we love talking with the service staff and learning about their backgrounds. Ernesto is from the Philippines. When he learned I grew up there for two years in my early life we hit it off. Very proud of his country. Very financially responsible. 7 months out of the year away from his family. Meet Ernesto! PS please tip your servers! Cheers!- 454 replies

Took a walk to guest relations this morning for some more Ernesto and DWI! 😂 took some shots of the interior, as if you have never seen it before….. passport bar Self explanatory 😂 Has anyone ever gotten a pic of Al Bacio without people? 🤔 This area treated me like a bad date last week Where you lose more money, hall of the $10 Pop Up! Who doesn’t like some Gelato! Ensemble Lounge where I used it for the first time last cruise Sushi on 5 World Class Bar, one and done for me. This area I never understood, does it transition you as you go to dinner? 🤔🙄 For those that do, I offer you this. Cheers! -

😂😂😂😂😂 Glad all worked out ok. Cheers! -
I’m going to get hammered with this comment, but I have read many comments on lobster. Is the only place on earth lobster is served is on a cruise ship? 😂 So much focus on a lobster meal on a ship. 🤔 Just saying. Cheers

All right it’s 90 minutes to game time so we have a bit of time to talk Hurricane Cards! Before our winter cruise last year I spent two years prior trying to find playing cards that would work in the wind. Finally after searching I found Hurricane Cards! With a name like that could they work. I read many reviews and was sold on trying them, $25 later and buying them online they arrived. We put them to the test last winter and can I say they are outstanding! We play a lot of cards. We would sit at the Sun Set Bar ( of course ) with wind blowing around us, no flying away. If we had one Person walk up we had 20 asking “ how do your cards not blow away?” I could have sold 20 sets if I had them. People would go and get their other half to show them. They Work! Our friends from England who joined us last year play a lot of cards too. We used them while playing with them and they loved them. They didn’t at the time ship to England. They asked why we didn’t think of them and bring a deck for them. Long story short we had bought them a deck and as a gift at the end of the cruise gave them to them. They always send us pics of them using them and how well they hold up. They are in Thailand right now and using enjoying them. So if you are a card player, buy some Hurricane cards! The website is in the pic. Cheers! -

I’ll be sure to say hi from you both. Weren’t you scheduled to be on our Cosol tour and had doubled book? buying Jan a morning picker upper was nothing, these kids work so hard and just something that little can make the day. I told him if he is in the hall when I go and get coffee I’ld buy him one each morning. Not a big deal with the beverage package. 😂 Cheeers! -

Great review Galaxy2004! it was a great cruise and agree the old girl needs a new dress but still clean and enjoyable! We actually have Jan this week. Our other attendant moved to deck 8 we are on deck 9. I brought him cappuccino this morning when I went to Al Bacio. He was very happy and said it gave him a lift! 😀 hope you follow my love thread and continue cruising with us. Cheers! -
