Thank you for sharing. Reminded us our cruise this past November...

 

What kind of video "montage" do you use? it's very dynamic.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for watching. I use a software program called ProShow Producer 6.0

GOOOOOD Video;)

Thanks for watching...

Loved it!! Especially the "good mornings"!! Thanks so much for posting. We'll be on the Equinox next week.

Have a great cruise!

Loved the review; now I REALLY can't wait for my cruise in 40 days (not that I'm counting).

 

Have a great time on the Mardi Gras cruise !!!

Thanks for watching and have a great cruise. I know we will LOVE Mardi Gras!

Bill we will be on the Equinox in 1 month & I only have 1 question. HOW DID YOU MANAGE to get such a pretty lady & leave her alone while you took the video??

Just kidding I can see why you took pics of her, I have been married 60 years & my wife still looks like centerfold.

Thanks for watching and have a great cruise. As for Rosie, I have said for years that I am a very lucky guy! Congrats to you on 60 years!

Bill, that was awesome. Getting us in the mood for our Mardi Gras cruise!!! We will want suggestions on what to drink in the world class bar. :)

Thanks for watching. The World Class Bar...easy answer...after a week of tireless testing Rosie and I agreed our favorite drink was...EL DON JULIO!:) BUT...we will test again next time!:D

BILL

Thanks for sharing your video. Enjoyed very much! [emoji41]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching...

Another excellent video Bill!:)

Thanks for watching...

Thanks for sharing the great video.

Thanks for watching...

thanks Bill, I truly enjoyed the video

Thanks for watching...

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Jan. 9 for me!

Thanks for watching...I was originally booked on the Jan 9 cruise, but plans changed...Have a great cruise:)

BILL

I love Celebrity and if the pricing structure was more competitive like it was 2 year ago, they would get all my cruise business. However, I also love Princess and Royal, so which ever line has the best ship, itinerary, and price will get my cruise dollars.

BILL

Great job Bill. Thankx for sharing it.

Thanks, and I loved your life review!

Wonderful video!! Loved it! We embark aboard the Equinox in one week. Can't wait! [emoji16][emoji16]

It will be worth the wait. Make sure to stop by the World Class Bar....and thanks for watching!

BILL

I am now an Elitist. :D Although I did need to call the Captain's Club this morning to make it happen.

 

Yesterday they gave me only 50 club points for the 10 day cruise in Concierge even though sailing solo entitled me to the double points. A 12 minute phone call got it fixed today despite being told it could take a week or more to correct.

 

I then immediately requested the upgrade option on our Azamara veranda to club Suite in August. Now my fingers are crossed there will be one available.

 

But regardless, now my DW will be considered Elite or Discoverer on our next two cruises.

BRAVO!!!

Bill

Excellent.Thank you for taking us along on your Cruise.

Thank you for watching.

Very nice video Bill:) We fly out of Milwaukee on Sunday and our on the Equinox on Monday:) We are excited and we have reservations for a couple of the specialty dining packages as well. You missed a couple of snow storms so you were in a great place. This will be a great time to go and get away from the cold as we are going down a day early and spending a couple of days after. We may try to make a video as you did and when we get back I will try to figure it out to post:) Once again thanks for that video and it was great!!!

Trust me, we did not MISS a thing about the 2 snowstorms while we were gone! :D:D I know you will have a great time on Equinox...great ship with a great crew! Have a blast!

BILL

From December 7-19, 2016 DW, Rosie, and I took a cruise vacation. I made a short (15 min) video of the whole trip. Hope you enjoy watching, almost as much, as we enjoyed taking the trip.:):):)

BILL

The Harley Davidson bikers and their bikes as they arrived back to the ship in St. Kitts.

The Bikers getting ready for their ride on Sint Maarten.

BILL

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or anything else you celebrate during this season.

And last, HAPPY CRUISING!:):):)

BILL

Hmmm Southwest will allow us to go on the next flight if this one is missed, however it's at 5pm and we wouldn't arrive home until midnight versus getting home at 2 pm

Two choices, go early and stress, or get a day room at a hotel and enjoy an extra day of activation. :):)

BILL

Steve

Do you think it would have been possible to make an 8:45am flight

Southwest, no checked bags? From Fort Lauderdale self disembark?

The Equinox docked at 7:00 and debarkation did not start until about 7:25. I would not try to make an 8:45 flight. However, there are other ships that dock at 6:00AM and those would be doable, but I would not do it...too much stress for me! My earliest flight is 10:00AM....:):)

BILL

Hope to meet you at the World Class Bar on another cruise:):):). We had a blast meeting you and spending time chatting!

I had to make my own dinner this evening.:mad:

BILL

My DW, Rosie, and I are on this cruise with Steve. When we boarded we purchased the ultimate dining package and Steve has asked me to create a post about that. ( I should note that the ultimate dining package is going away with Cruises starting January 2017. In 2017 you be able to buy as many nights of specialty dining as you wish and you will receive a better price per night, based on the number of nights that you purchase.)

On this cruise the ultimate dining package gave Rosie and I the privilege of dining in specialty restaurants each night. Contrary to popular belief you do not have to dine in all of the restaurants, you can pick and choose which ones you prefer. In fact, if you wish to dine in only one restaurant every night, you may do so.

Food is very subjective, that being said, Rosie and I booked two nights in the Tuscan Grille and eight nights in Murano. After our first night in the Tuscan Grille, being greatly disappointed, we switched our second night in Tuscan, to the Murano.

The best way to describe the food in Murano is a French flavored restaurant done in an American style, if there can be any such thing. Anyhow, we had many dishes from the menu, they also made us some of the old favorites that are no longer on the menu, and in one word every meal was fantastic. Some of the most popular dishes in Murano are the lobster prepared tableside and Crepe Boullon Rouge, as a dessert, also prepared tableside. The Dover sole is fantastic, as is the venison.

Yesterday afternoon Rosie and I had lunch in silk harvest. We both felt the food was very good and well prepared. However, based on having a choice of dining in Murano, or silk harvestfor dinner, I would choose Murano.

BILL

Steve--Thank you for a great review. We are sailing on the Mardi Gras cruise, too. We also booked a May 5 cruise when they had the big promotion this summer. We have not saile X in 6 years and never on this class of ship. :eek::D

Just a bit over two months and our Mardi Gras cruise will be in full swing.

BILL

On another note, the satellite & internet have been atrocious today. The news channels were out for awhile this morning. So was the internet. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to navigate the internet and great difficulty trying to upload pictures.

Same problem here...I feel your pain.

Bill

Hey Bill,

 

Jeff and I usually go there every night, but generally around 6-7 or 9-10 (before and/or after dinner in Blu). We were the couple with the aqua class cabin from the cabin crawl. Maybe we'll bump into you there or elsewhere at some point over these last few days aboard.

How did I not know that. Now I can place you! :):)

Steve, it was great running into you last night at the world lass bar. Had a great chat, it was fun, hope to see you a couple more times before the cruise ends.

BILL

Jelena and Darko are currently the bartenders at World Class Bar.

I have been trying to run into you at the world class bar, maybe I've met you and just don't know it. We are usually there are each evening from five until six. And then again around 8 o'clock.

BILL

Thank you. Will be on Equinox this Friday. Can't wait. Snow on its way.

We will too, see you soon!

BILL

"Sail Beyond Borders"

I wonder how they pull this off?:eek::):):)

BILL

will be on Serenade of the Seas

The VOOM, or lack there of, on the Serenade was the worst internet I have ever had on any ship...ever! Nuff said!:mad::mad:

I did get a partial refund.

BILL

Just booked a 9 night package, for an 11 night cruise in February, on Equinox. The price per nights is sooooooooo much lower than the Ultimate dine pack used to be....A very good deal for those that like/love specialty restaurants. :):)

BILL

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

JoB...

 

What a fun video and just the right length.........

 

Glad ur seas were calm, in March when we cruised on the same itinerary we had to stay overnight in San Francisco due to rough seas. Advantage got to leave in the day light and the crew loved it because many were able to go out late and enjoy some of the clubs. How lucky you were to see the new lights on the Oakland Bay bridge they just added those right before our sailing in March.

 

Perfect to do Alcatraz at night, eerie isn't it?.....I did it several years ago with my sons and we kept on scaring each other, suggested to my DH to do the night tour on our recent cruise he said once was enough when he and I did it, in the day light probably 30 years ago. We live in So. CA.

 

Tidbit, which I caught...missing SD statue....I am assuming you have been to SD B4.

again, thanks for posting it was GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEat!!!!

I think my Goooooooooooood Morrrrrnnnning Is rubbing off on you. LOL

Thanks for watching and the very kind words.

Yes, I have been to SD many times, but I am not sure what you mean by the missing statue??:confused:

BILL

Is it worth the extra money to get an AFT Balcony vs a side Balcony. We will be traveling on Princess Ruby. Thanks for any insights!

Depends on what you are looking for? The balconys on the Carbie deck (side) are HUGE and if you have one of them I would keep it. :):)

BILL

That was a great documentary film of your cruise. Only a pro can do such video. Thanks for sharing Bill.

Thanks for watching and the very kind words!

Will be on there in a few weeks...anything you wish you had done?...video gave us great overview!!!

Thanks for watching and the very kind words. I wish I stayed on the ship for a second, third, or perhaps a fourth week....:D

Wow...What a video. Thanks for providing this great video. You did a professional job.

Tom😎

Thanks for watching and the very kind words. Making a video does take a bit of work, but the program I use (ProShow Producer) is really what makes it all come together.
