Thanks so much for the post!  I will be there in a less than 2 weeks and my kids are doing a big excursion but hubby and I just want to walk around.  I knew they had a lazy river and though it might be just ok, glad you liked it.  The map was very helpful!

Now they charge $15 a day up front for the upgrade.

Minimum bid is $200pp.

Yes do it!  You will not be dissappointed!

I have not received a power point email since August 2022.  I tried emailing them and resigning up (but it says I am already registered).  Any advise?

On the Edge class ships you can order from the main dining room menus as well in BLU.  Its a healthy spa like menu in blu but they will offer vegetables and potatoes, etc instead of the salad.  My hubby the carnivore was quite happy!

I think the Aqua class (not aqua suite) have regular verandas and not infinite verandas.  Is this true?  Does anyone have a picture?  Thanks!

We took this company March of 2020 and loved it (actually the last tour before the shutdown).  The food was good too.  A bit pricey and we took a taxi to the tour.  https://stmaartencruiseexcursions.com/excursions/st-maarten-catamaran-tour/

I am going to Cozumel on a cruise soon and wondering how they work Nachi Cocum food lately.  I went to Mr Sanchos once with teens but it will only be 2 adults.  Do you have to eat at the tables for lunch?  Can you get chips and salsa on the beach?  If anyone has been there lately how has the service been?  Do they play music?  Thanks in advance!

I was at Nachi on the on 19th and was cool enough to enjoy

How was the food?  Can you eat on the beach or do you have to sit on the tables?  Can you get chips and salsa on the beach?

Not sure what you are asking. Standard cruise ship stores. Lots of perfume and other high end fashion goods and jewelry.

Dollar stores? Nope, not even close.

It has several high end designer stores, jewelry, pocket book, and apple products etc.  I don't end up shopping that much on Celebrity because it is out of my price range.  Maybe some one will remember the stores.

Yes we just did it a couple weeks ago and LOVED it. The Captain is a really nice guy named Ian and he has a little dog Ginger that my kids just loved. The Catamaran is immaculate and super roomy and comfortable. We had drinks all day, had options for beach and snorkeling stops.We saw turtles and lots of fish too. The captain barbecued yummy chicken and there were great sides, pastas and salad.  We will definitely do this again next time we visit St Maarten. We even sailing into the bay where you have the planes landing close to the beach, which was kind of cool. Maho beach?

Thanks so much for letting me know!  We leave in less than 3 weeks and can't wait!

They do lock the hall at the staircase and elevator so you can not bring your bags to your room.  Even after they announce the staterooms are ready (in October 2019)  we had to wait an extra 20 minutes because our deck was not ready.  Try to bring less to carry around if possible.  

If you are going after they refurbish the ship next year it may be different.

Celebrity Cruising Ducks is a facebook page too!  I found an hid some on the Panama Canal crossing!.  I think it is fun, but some have something to say about what other people do.  It does not seem to interfere with anyone, so have fun!  Even the staff sometimes gets into it.

We are looking at doing this one  https://stmaartencruiseexcursions.com/excursions/st-maarten-catamaran-tour/ has anyone done this ? Looks amazing, snorkeling, sailing, barbecue and beaches:)  

Did you go on this tour crossfitmama?  I am looking at this for March.

Martini bar or the Rendevouz lounge will serve classic cocktails.

One other note, check out Eden Cafe. I, and many other passengers, didn't discover it until late in the cruise.  Lighter breakfast and lunch, healthier options and great outdoor seating that was never crowded (some indoor seating near the cafe too, or find a seat in Eden). Also, a coffee bar if you'd like an espresso.  I would have eaten here everyday if I'd known.

 

Enjoy your cruise! The food on Edge was my favorite change.

Do you pay for breakfast and lunch in the Eden Cafe?

I also did a 15 night Panama Canal cruise and loved it.  First of all the crew were all fabulous!  The Captain is very friendly too.The ship was kept clean, the food was very good and they had a variety of entertainment each night.  The decor is a little old school but that did not bother me.  I paid a lot for that cruise and really enjoyed myself and would not hesitate to take a free cruise on that ship!

That's kind of you 🙂 And you are welcomed. It is headed your way. Make sure to read the informational post about the tour that I put somewhere above in this thread! 🤔

Received!  Thank you!

If you are still sharing I would love too!  Thanks so much for helping out me and all these others!

My pass says call on the side.  I am 50 days out.  Should I resubmit the phote?

I am on the Celebrity Infinity for the Panama Canal Cruise October of this year.  I had a C2 guarantee room and a couple of months ago I noticed the stateroom was assigned to 6135 which is an extra large balcony C1.  It seems like a good room.  We did bid for a suite (minimum bid) but there are currently only 5 suites available so doubt that would happen anyway.

 Since we have such a large balcony I do not want to change to Aqua which we may have a better chance at getting.  We are sailing with a group and will have classes during sea days and would not enjoy the Aqua amenities then.

They do sell usb pumps for those bags that fit in your hand.  I don't know how strong they are though.

It does have an extended balcony. Here is a review of the SR:

 

Celebrity Infinity, September 2-9, 2018

CABIN #: 6135

DECK #: 6

CLASS: C1 Concierge Class

AREA: Port side aft, second stateroom aft of the Aft Elevators.

BED NEAR: Bathroom, Facing Forward

QUIET?: Yes

BALCONY VIEW: Port Side, unobstructed

BALCONY SIZE: Larger than usual because of Royal Suites on either side. Only the first 1/3 of the balcony is covered. You can see balconies on the decks above easily, and they can see you.

WIND A PROBLEM?: Nope

SOOT A PROBLEM?: Nope

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: The stateroom is adjoining with Royal Suite 6137. As a result there is no loveseat, just two smallish chairs. Noise from the adjoining cabin was not an issue. The balcony had two chairs, no footstool, no lounger, one small round table. We did see a lounger in a picture from the previous cruise, so you might have to ask the steward.

 

Den

I guess I can ask for a lounger or foot stools.  Not sure I like there is no loveseat.  

I booked the October 2019 Panama Canal cruise, 15 nights in a C2 or better guarantee cabin.  I was recently selected 6135 which seems to have a huge balcony.  Has anyone stayed in this type of stateroom?  Should I ask to change?  I have not been on this ship before.

Omg, I never considered that!  Yes, I will do so.  Thank you for the information!

No problem.  I don't go crazy and Lysol everything.  Good hand washing, especially prior to eating or touching your face will do wonders.  Also keep yourself healthy: hydrate and boost your immune system prior to going.  I like Airborne, but extra Vitamin C will do also.
