Apparently what I've heard is that they did some work on the azapods, and bow thrusters in terms of mechanical stuff. They painted the hull under the water line, cabin doors have been retrofitted to be unlocked with tapping the key card rather than the old insert style, carpeting and some furniture has been replaced in common areas, a large television screen has been mounted in the lawn club across from the lawn club grill, and the cabanas have had some minor modifications. I board on Monday so if I hear anything else i'll post.

Can you also post who the Cruise Director is? Apparently the current CD is going on vacation after this cruise.

Thanks!

Hi there, does anyone know if you can buy a bottle of baileys at the bar or..... for use in your cabin, son in law likes baileys in morning coffee and may not have a drinks package !!!

Quick answer is no. You might be able to order a bottle to the room but the cost is usually rather high!

There is no piano bar on Celebrity ships. Live music in the atrium in the evenings (6-8ish).

As cruisestitch said a show each evening at 7 & 9 in the theatre. Many nights there is some activity/show at 10:30. There is generally live music in the Sky Lounge in the evening and followed by a DJ for those that want to "dance the night away".

 

When we were on the Reflection in November there wasn't movie screen at the pool so no movies under the stars, unless they have added a screen.

Apparently the screen was added during the dry dock! Will check it out next month!!

The OBC looks very tempting. Hope something like this is offered when we are on in February!;)

Just printed an Architectural Walking tour map. Might be of interest to you. Search walking tour Curacoa will get you where you want.

DH will be in his "Tux" suit and I will be in a gown for at least one night on our 11 night cruise. Second "chic" night DH will have same suit with a different shirt and tie and I will be in a dressy dress!💃🏻💃🏻

Continental breakfast. No hot foods. Nice spread of meats, cheeses, salmon, fruits, breads, pastries.

Thank you very much, bagels and salmon is right up my alley!

This is our first cruise since attaining Elite status, what is the breakfast like?

We were on the Equinox in 2010 and there had been an outbreak of Noro on the cruise before us. They delayed boarding until about 2pm in order to do a deep clean. While on board, the outbreak continued despite all of the efforts of the crew. We did not get sick as we do not touch the railings and use the stairs versus the elevator. Suggestion for in the buffet area is to use your napkin to pick up the tongs and then once you are done loading your plate, toss the napkin in the laundry and get a clean one. Sure hope this is all cleared up for all of the subsequent cruisers.

I agree. We had 7305 once and the bed was by the bathroom.

Thanks for this information as we have this room in February and I prefer the open area being close to the balcony!

snow bunny

We overnight here and have never been!! Any suggestions as to where we can go to take in the nightlife/ dancing??

DH and I will be in more formal wear than most! I love to get all dressed up and this will no different on our next cruise. We tend to dress a little lessformal on regular nights but will dress to the nines on "chic" night!

Is there lunch available if you don't want the "boxed" lunch?

NCL almost always has the beverage package included with your booking, not sure too many people ever actually ever pay for it. We just got off Princess and their beverage package is now up to $70.00 a day and has a 15 drink limit.

Yes but you have to pay the gratuity and water is NOT included!!

We have stayed at 17th Hyatt which can usually be had at a discount price if you use a specific website. Enjoyed it on at least 3 precruise nights! Spent one precruise night at a Holiday Inn on points but no place to Eat! Will be staying at the Residence Inn for our next cruise, one night on points and one not. Plus a Holiday Inn back in 2009! Preference would be the Hyatt as the price is right, breakfast is included and the taxi price to the port is quite reasonable.

We too are looking for somewhere to dance but are a wee bit past our 30's....by about 20 years. Young at heart and love to dance!!

My DH and I flew into San Juan on departure day back in 2015 and choose to us what Celebrity transfer. Worked well, just note that they will take your luggage in a separate vehicle so keep what you want! Took a while to change into shorts!

snow bunny

We are overnighting in Aruba in February and are looking for somewhere to Latin dance. Any options nearby are appreciated!

snow bunny

Thank you very much! Sorry I never replied but I did find them in my junk email!!

snow bunny

Can I please get them emailed to mdedunn@hotmail.com

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I will add my name to that list!

I see from the dailies that you did Cozumel first and then Costa Maya. When did you find out about this switch?

snow bunny

I'm also seeing two rates, one rate for OBC and another for everything else, neither of which are as good as your rates. Also, there's some odd ones like the rate for the 3 meal dining package.

 

More alarmingly, this change done something to my December cruise, I had booked with Canada at Par & completed payment. Now as of today, the fare prices have gone up, and the site now claims that I have not completed payment due to the differing fares.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

I'll be calling NCL later to sort this out.

Please come back to let me know if they sorted it out. I might have to call in to see if they can switch the rate back! I really want the spa pass but not at this new rate! If I buy OBC and they are not available on the ship, will NCL give me back my OBC??

snow bunny

14 days from now DH and I will be on the seas sailing on the Getway!

We took packaged snacks for our son's Gf as she has a severe tree nut allergy, this kept her from having to read all ingredients for having a snack while in port. Helpful if English is not the predominant language!
