Cruise virgins!

Kia Ora Whanau, (Hello family, in Maori).

We are from New Zealand and are both very excited about joining the Equinox and all the people that are going to be on it.

We have just paid off our mortgage, so we thought we'd celebrate!

A trip to the Caribbean seemed the right thing to do.

Being first time serious cruisers, (we did a 3 day cruise around the Hauraki gulf before), we were wondering if anyone has any tips for us first timers?

We have booked up trips for each island stopover, (I can't wait for the game fishing in St Lucia!)

How about on board?

Any tips etc concerning dress codes, dining, etc?

We have a drinks package so, all good there.

But any other tips would be great.

With much respect, (Mana),

Russ and Sue Barker,

From Auckland NZ.

:cool:

al Bacio is FABULOUS. Loved sitting with my Mocha Latte and the wonderful treats. This ended up being one of my favorite spots on the Equinox. My family always knew where to find me. It was also nice to grab a can of Diet Coke as I headed to my cabin to have later.

I haven't sailed Celebrity, so I can't give specific advice for your ship, but here is my packing list (warm weather, 6-8 day cruise), and some things you might want for your cruise:
