Sorry to hear about your experience with Blue Waters. But thanks for telling us so we will not go to their resort. I have not had this sort of treatment before. 

Thanks!  From the pictures on their site it looks like a great beach close to pier. We’ve been to Playa Porto Marie that we loved except for the taxi price ($50 each way). 

You can order a water with another beverage. My dh has ordered double on the rocks wo any problem.

Hahahaha....ME TOO!!!!    I paid $425 for the same thing!    Love it!   Yes, you are soooo right.  Just renting 1 or 2 times and you can buy your own to keep and use for other things other than cruising, and  it has always fit through every cabin door with no problem!

Where did you find this great price?

Looking at this excursion for January 2019. With limited mobility I’m thinking the Mystic looks more doable. Worried about the ladder on the Creole. It will be 3 months post bilateral knee replacement. My biggest hurdle is standing from a low sitting position. Any suggestions from others that have mobility issues?

I’m searching and have yet to find an excursion on sale. Very frustrating. 😤

Pearl is the entry level.

We believe next cruise it will be each evening chic night, $55. It really has been very popular.....strongly suggest you book on boarding.

Thanks! Hope we can use the dining package. Will the menu be the same each night this is offered? Will the old Quisine menu be offered on the other nights?

We are on the Reflection next week and excited to try a new concept. Will Qsine offer This and what nights! Thanks for all the reviews. As a new member of the age 60 group, I am ready to giggle like my grandkids!

We went on a tour with Dora a few years back. It was great! But I would check how much walking there be.

Look on this website

http://www.windy.com

It will tell you everything you need to know wind speed, wave height etc

Thanks for the website. Very windy with gusts to 25 mph where we live in Minnesota. Forecast is 5” of snow. Our lake is still very frozen, depth around 30” of ice. Looking forward to warm weather!

Wondering if the water has been calm or rough for snorkeling in the Caribbean? We are heading to Grand Cayman, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao in 10 days. The last few years have been very rough and choppy. Sometimes we go on an excursion and are not able to snorkel. Also the water will be stirred up and the clarity is not good. TIA

The April 8 dailing out of San Juan is cancelled! Call from TA and email from Celebrity. We are booked on a back to back with the second date of April 15 that is now changed to April 18-April 22. We will not fly to San Juan for a four day cruise! I called Captains Club as TA had no info on the April 15 date. CC informed me of the change and I stated we wanted to cancel and get a refund for both dates. Our airline is for April 6 and I'm not staying in San Juan for 12 days waiting for a four day cruise! That is crazy!

Two weeks before we were to leave for San Juan we received a call and email from our TA. The cruise on April 8 is cancelled because Celebrity needs to work on the ship. For the first time we booked a back to back. The April 15 sailing date our TA had no info about. I called the Captain's Club and found out the April 15 cruise is only for four days April 18-22. Great! I'm not flying all the way to San Juan for a four day cruise! We were excited for our 16 day vacation. Two days in San Juan followed by a 14 day cruise. If the ship is having problems then get it fixed. I don't want to have engine problems at sea. Now what to do with only two weeks notice?

Thanks for all the positive reviews. Between Trip Advisor and Cruise Critic we are encouraged to sign up for this adventure in St. Marten.

I am thinking of walking to the beach on our day before the cruise. From the Holiday Inn Express where we will be staying, Google maps says it is 1.9 miles. The walk would take us on the A1A road. Is that a pedestrian-friendly road? Thanks!

 

:)

We have walked from the HI Express at 17th to the FLL beaches and strip area. It is a hike, but doable. Total Wine store is very close!

We also received the same message requesting boarding between noon and 3:30. Why does Celebrity need to call twice, text twice and also send two emails to the same person? Also what time is the best to board? Would you wait an hour until 1pm and let all the mad rush get on first? We are elite but maybe that line will be long. Eclipse is at POM and we have not sailed from there.

Suggestions for two day post cruise on Miami Beach? We are thinking of the Z Ocean Hotel, crowne plaza. Great reviews on Trip advisor, rooms are large and look fairly new. Front Porch cafe is also highly recommended. Other ideas??? Dates are March 15-17.

Good to hear the Front Porch is a hit. How about the Z Ocean Hotel? Anyone stayed here?

We are looking to stay here and wondering if anyone has any experiences with this Hotel. Hear the Front Porch Café is wonderful!

Thanks Blue Heron for the Hotel suggestions. Have you stayed at these hotels? Reviews on TA are mixed. Seeing if there are more suggestions for hotels. Thanks!

I checked the sticky for Miami priceline/hotwire hotels. Not much info and nothing for Feb or March. There seem to be a lot of hotels w availability March 15-17. Most prices for Miami/South Beach are $400+. We do like a nice place but like value for our $$$! Any other suggestions, $300-400/night?

Thanks for the suggestions! Anyone with recent hotwire or Priceline hotels in Miami Beach or South Beach area?
