Hocus

Hello,

I am not an experienced cruiser, so I need some advice and in the past this forum was very helpful, so I hope this time also :D.

We've sailed once with NCL Epic (2014) and once with Celebrity Equinox (2016).

I live in Belgium and there is an interesting sale going on now, do you think that I need to book now or does Royal Carribean increased their prices before the promotion ? I am looking for a sailing next year december in the Caribbean.

So what is your advice ?

Hello, we have booked a private tour in december with Sanjay Kini, found his name on this forum. You can contact him at barbadosfun@gmail.com

One of the things we've planned with him to do is going to see the monkeys.

A lot of the restaurants are only open for dinner.

 

But both Sunset Café and Calmos Café are on the waterfront open for lunch and serve lobster and other seafood. Service is laid back to say the least. Don't be in a hurry.

 

You might also want to experience the various lolos on the way into Grand Case. These are small local p[laces with great grilled items, usually what ever is fresh. Everyone has their favorites but any are worth the try. Seating is picnic tables and view can be limited at spots. If you're really hungry try Sky's the Limit.

Thank you for the ideas, it is for dinner that I am searching a restaurant.

I am searching a restaurant in Grand Case which serves lobster and other seafood.

Any recommandations ?

Yes, you can. You can even logout the phone when you login the tablet and vice versa if you left the other device logged in.

Thank you Charles !

I've read that the unlimited internet is for 1 device, can I use it on my cell phone and after on my tablet when I deconnect on my cell phone ?

Thx for your review, we'll be sailing for the first time on the Equinox in december

Thank you for this great review, and nice to see photos of the food. I'll start reading your others reviews nog because we will visit those ports with the Equinox in december.

Thank you for your review !

Hello, it is our first cruise with celebrity (before 1 cruise with NCL). This is an interesting thread because I also have lots of questions about the dress code.

Is it ok when my husband wears a shirt without coat/blazer with pants or jeans in the specialty restaurants and on "normal" evenings in the MDR ?

Is a shirt with long sleeves required or can he also wears shirts with short sleeves ?

Hello Benny,

Looks delicious, we've never been to St Martin.

Do you know the name of the restaurant ?

Thanks

Highly recommend going to Grand Case for lunch. Nothing like fresh grilled lobster with your feet in the sand. St Martin is a small island so make sure to go to the Marigot Market before Grand Case. St Martin is our favorite island with wonderful food, beaches and people. Sunset Beach by the airport is another must see.

Second cruise for us and first with Celebrity. We have another itinerary (10 night Ultimate Caribbean) on board of the Equinox and so far didn't find great reviews/photos of the ship or I didn't find them.

So Thx and I am following !

We've booked a custom jet ski tour (max 5/6 jetski's) with Ebanks Watersport.

We've chosen the stingray city and snorkel tour. The stop at Stingray City was amazing, we could hold a stingray and had enough time to look around and take photos. The stop for snorkeling was just ok, there wasn't much to see. But overall a great excursion, especially for our husbands who liked riding the jetskis.

First cruise with celebrity. We chose for select dining. Will we be seated with others cruises at our table ?

Did you book air travel with NCL as well?

No we've just booked the cruise at our travel agent and the air travel we did ourselves directly at the airline.

Even if you booked with a travel agent, and can't see the $$ transactions, you still should be able to do online check-in and print your own e-docs. Have you tried to do online check-in?

Online check-in is completed a few months ago. But no e-docs :(

Yes unfortunately not possible to print them at ncl.

Thank you all for the responds !

You better have a talk with you travel agent if you can't print your Edocs yet or haven't received your documents directly from them (the travel agent).

Because I've seen that others got there edocs yet, I've called our TA and they keeps telling me that NCL gives them 14 days before. I called NCL and they give no info because it is booked with a TA. Next time I book directly but it is first cruise so thought that TA was better ...

Did you book directly with NCL? I have two cruises booked. One was booked directly with NCL and I can see what I paid for the cruise. The other was booked with a cruise website and I can only see what I've paid for the excursion that was booked directly with NCL. Both cruises are PIF.

No we've booked at a travel agent. I was just wondering because our cruise is 11/16/2014 and we did not receive our tickets.

I don't like the holds on a credit card so it looks interesting for me to buy on-board credit. I've read that some of you bought on board credit. Are this the on-board credit certificates you can book in "my ncl - gifts and more" because it looks to me that this is a gift you buy for someone other than yourselve? Maybe a stupid question but it is the first cruise for us so it's all new.

I also tried this, the only things I can see when I look at payment are the things we've paid for dinner. I can't see if the cruise is already paid in full.

First cruise for us to Jamaica, Cozumel & Cayman so can someone tell me if we need to take our passport when we go ashore or can we leave it in the safe ?

Thank you very much for your review ! Lots of information for first time cruisers like us. We will be on the Epic in november.

Thx for the video !

Hello,

When you take the UDP, can you go several times to the same restaurant or do you need to take each evening another restaurant ?

I know that there is no swimming pool or jacuzzi in the Posh Beach Club but is there something to cool off ? I've seen a review before that there would be a cascading waterfall but I am not sure because no one else mentioned it after.
