    Itinerary Question- Southern Caribbean

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    Depends on what you've done. We've done the comprehensive tours of all the islands so we know what they're all about. We've done the snorkel and sail tours, and the food tours. So for us it's St. Kitts hands down. However, there *are* some nice resorts you can go to for the day in St. Kitts.

    Grenada has the spices, so I like that. Different in that way from the other islands.

    I'd never skip St. Thomas. There is a non-tourist, local jewelry store that has done work for me and I must always make a stop. I also really like the buzz about the city, and there are great beaches a short cab away, as well as St. John. However, many don't like it. I just happen to.

     

    We're on the Eclipse Nov. 16 cruise and are looking to spend at least one of our port days on board. We generally don't do it but this time we are.

     

    This would be our first time to all of the ports. Thanks for the info!

    Itinerary Question- Southern Caribbean

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    We will be on Summit for the Southern Caribbean cruise on Nov 7 going to:

     

    Tortola (most likely will go to Virgin Gorda Baths)

    St. Georges Grenada

    Castries St. Lucia

    Bassterre St. Kitts

    Char. Amalie St. Thomas (most likely will go to St. John)

     

    While there is one sea day, we are planning on taking another day to stay onboard and relax. I'd like advice from some of you that have been to these ports as to which you were least impressed by. So far, we've identified Grenada as the port we may skip, but if we are making a mistake, I'm sure you all will let us know :)

    Another code queries re suites sorry

    I had a similar situation occur… I had certain codes listed with credits one day, but they would change the next. And after a week, they still weren't correct according the the package I booked. I ended up calling Celebrity. It took three phone calls before it was actually fixed. My advice: call. It's a pain, but it's the quickest way to get it worked out.

    Summit- Celebrity Today Programs or Entertainment Schedule

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    Hello- I will be on the Summit Nov 7-14 on the Southern Caribbean sailing to Tortola, Grenada, St. Lucia, St Kitts, and St. Thomas. I was wondering if anyone has copies of any of the Celebrity Today programs for this itinerary, or if anyone could give me an idea about entrainment schedules in the evening?

     

    I've searched the forum, but I haven't found anything useful.

     

    Thanks so much,

    Eastern Carib- Emerald vs. Regal?

    in Princess Cruises

    Posted

    Looking for some advice from Princess experts :D

     

    I am torn over whether to do a 7 night Eastern Carib cruise on Regal or Emerald. For the specific sailing date I am looking at, the total fare difference (for 2 people) for a PH suite between the Emerald and the Regal is around $1000.00.

     

    Also, Emerald stops at Grand Turk; Regal does not.

     

    I realize these are two very different ships, but is the price difference worth it for Regal? Also, since I've never been to Grand Turk, what are the highlights of this stop? (Are the beaches the star attraction; what about the town itself? After looking online, I do have some idea of what this island offers, but I'd like to hear about the experiences of others. And, yes, I have looked at the thread specific to Grand Turk :))

     

    Thanks, everyone! Look forward to hearing your feedback!

    Has the threat of ebola caused you to reconsider your cruise plans

    We all know that WHO and CDC never ever make mistakes. Temperature taking at airports will not prevent it from coming here. People will lie to get what they want. Duncan wanted to come here, he knew he had been in contact and lied about it. He will not be an isolated case, there will be others. Let's hope that medical facilities will ramp up their readiness for what may come. We all know that people lie on the health questionnaire that we fill out at the cruise terminal, because they don't want to be denied boarding. Sorry, this scares the bejeebees out of me and I don't scare easily. The next two months we will have a much better idea how this will play out. Right now I am planning to go on my cruise out of Houston.

     

     

    This is exactly why there is Ebola hysteria. Coming from a RN: you're more likely to die of influenza or drug resistant TB. Good grief folks...
