Since I book all included I would expect included internet to actually work instead of taking forever to access emails.

Have to pay the Captain Kate Tax for the privilege of sailing with her.

Booked Hyatt Place for our November cruise and it was $129 per night.Embassy Suites wanted $230.

Not really concerned about who has the better breakfast since I get up at 8am and on the ship at noon.Pretty sure I won't starve.

We always do a 10 night sailing that leaves a couple of days before Thanksgiving and normally see 6 kids or less on the ship.

The wifi on Celebrity is pretty lousy even when upgraded.Suggestion would be leave the devices off and enjoy the cruise.

We have done the hot glass many times.We always carry them back home in our carry ons.One word of caution when going through TSA is they cannot identify that it is glass with the scanning equipment and will pull your bags for additional inspection by hand.Allow extra time for this.

Every time we have gone to Sushi on 5 the servers have given us 30%  off.The Indian night they do once per cruise is great and I think it was around $30 per person

My favorite thing to do on Equinox is get up and go to Al Bacio for a coffee before meeting my wife for breakfast.

Do you have website or link info?

email is dora@cartagenatour.com.

I did a city tour with Dora in November 2021.It was great .Went through old town and street vendors left us alone.4 hour tour was $75-80 and well worth it.Was met at the cruise ship.

Fort Lauderdale offers Bags to Go which is $10 and allows you to store your luggage at the airport.Can always take a cab to the airport, store the luggage, and then a cab ride to the beach for the day.

I have been on both the Summit and Equinox.Prefer the layout on the equinox.Wife enjoys making stuff at the Hot Glass area.

Checked my cruise in November with this new promotion and cost would be $1400 more.

We always ask the room steward for distilled water and extension cords when we first board and have never had a problem receiving them.

My wife and I both just a cpap.Our cabin steward always brings us extension cords and a gallon of distilled water when we asked.

I upgrade when I get on board.There are no deals but the bartender gets credit for the upgrade.

Just got back from sailing on the Silhouette with the included  basic surf internet.Connection was bad and took forever to access emails.Emails with graphics would not open.Facebook messenger took forever to send and receive.

John Watlings aged rum

Graycliff was an easy walk from the pier.Great place to see cigars being made and purchase directly.

Robert K. Tanenbaum is another author with a series of books similar to Sandford's Prey series.

I only read books when on vacation.Luckily 4 authors that I read put out a book a year so I end up bringing a couple of books with me per cruise.Still prefer holding an actually book.

For those on my previous Live that are into Mystery and Detective Novels -

 

I downloaded the complete 58 book series of  Georges Simenon and have listened to the 1st 4.   The first one took me awhile to get into it but once I got hooked have enjoyed them.

 

I also downloaded The Prey series by  John Sandford and alternated with Simenon.    I think I get more involved in Sandford's novels but both are a good read (or listen).

Love the John Sandford Prey series.Another great series is Lincoln And Child,s series about FBI agent Pendergast.

You can rent a golf cart for the day for $100 and drive yourself.

It would be safer to book a handicap accessible room.

We sail the equinox because my wife likes the hot glass demonstrations and always signs up to make a couple of items
