We will have to meet up for drinks! We did have friends book as well in the cabin next to ours.

[kris4842]

Cool, can't wait for this cruise, we deft need to meet up for a drink. Hit me up at my email and we can set it up. Have you guys picked shore excursions? Have you been on Celebrity before? kristofa@aol.com

[spkinva]

Hi Guys! Steve and Joe here. We're looking forward to this cruise. This will be our third Celebrity cruise. Let's all meet in the the Molecular Bar for drinks!

[indymarc]

Sounds like we will have a good group on the trip. Does Celebrity do Friends of Dorothy?

[spkinva]

They will post something by the main lobby. On one cruise the meetings were at the Molecular Bar. The other cruise we went on had the meetings at Michael's Club.

[BigJindy]

Hey Jeremy, nice to "meet" you, I need this vacation so bad, looking forward to it

[indymarc]

Aaron and I are trying to decide what we are going to do in the ports, we haven't been to any of them. Any suggestions? Aaron really wants to do sea kayaking, any suggestions on which port would be best for that?

[kris4842]

I would say do it in St. Marteen, of the three islands that is our favorite. We are still deciding what to do. I wanted to do the horseback riding in Puerto Rico but Bob had a dream about a horse killing him which means now we cant do it :(. In St Marteen we always go to Orient Beach so we will probably do that again. We like to stay on the Boat on one of the islands because the boat empties out and it feels like we have the boat to ourselves. We may stay on the boat for St. Thomas unless we see an excursion that looks great.

[kris4842]

Hey SpinVA, I just noticed one of your birthdays is April 7th, Mine is April 5th so I guess we will be celebrating our birthdays together...Birthday Diinks :)))

[spkinva]

Hey Kris! I will be turning the big 5-0 on April 7th. How about you? Maybe we should meet for drinks on April 6th--the day in between our birthdays!?

Cheers!

[kris4842]

Ill be Turning 37 or 25 as I keep telling everything. I think the 6th sounds great!!!

[spkinva]

Molecular Bar. See you there. Do you have the premium drink package?

[kris4842]

Yup we have the premium package, how about you guys? If someone doesn't and you like to drink I highly recommend it. It is such a good deal! We are still trying to figure out what to do on the islands.

[indymarc]

Yup we have the premium package, how about you guys? If someone doesn't and you like to drink I highly recommend it. It is such a good deal! We are still trying to figure out what to do on the islands.

 

We have the classic package, it was part of the sale we booked with. I called and can be upgraded to the premium package once we get on the ship. Is it worth the upgrade? What will we miss out on if we just go with the classic package?

[spkinva]

You'll miss out on the creative drinks made by the liquid chef at the Molecular Bar! They are covered on the premium package. If you just want basic drinks, you'll be fine. If you want something a liitle better you will have to pay the difference. There are other threads that talk about it in depth on cruisecritic. Either way....Cheers!! 6 more weeks!

[kris4842]

Yeah, i think the difference is you can get any drink up to $8 where the prem is up to $12. It really depends on what you prefer. We like to drink Grey goose martini's and cosmos and they are covered under the prem. We also love dinner at wine and there is more of a selection of glasses in the $12 range. Also if you get a drink that is more they just charge you the difference. SO if you ordered a $10 wine they just charge you the extra $2. We are doing another cruise next year where we got the classic package free and are deft upgraded, its just easier not to worry for us. It's almost here!!!

[spkinva]

Either way I think you guys will be fine. Have you figured out what to do in the ports? We'll be at Orient Beach, Megan's Bay, and probably just hit a restaurant in San Juan. Are you guys in Aqua Class?

[kris4842]

We are in Aqua, this is our third celebrity cruise and have only done Aqua and love it. The only thing we have planned so far is Orient beach. We are going to stay on the boat for one port but can't decide if it will be St Thomas or PR

[BigJindy]

I think we have decided to do the premium package for drinks. It looks like its the best deal. Plus the way we drink, we'll need the good stuff ;)

[indymarc]

We are booked in a 2C balcony, not aqua and sounds like we might be missing out :( . I like to mainly explore without an excursion in ports but we will be doing the Kayaking at some point.

[kris4842]

Don't worry about it, celebrity is so amazing you really aren't missing out on a lot. The only reason we do Aqua is because we get double cruise credits and we like to eat in Blu

[spkinva]

Same here Kris. This will be our third celebrity cruise and we've only done Aqua. We can't go back to the main dining room after eating in Blu!! Love it! We're looking forward to the new ship.
