Just got off Empress last week. There was a White Party, and a 70's, 80's, and 90's night (one theme per night).

Thanks so much for your info!!

sorry I don't have answer for you but I was just searching to see if there were any theme nights on the 4 night cruises on empress like a white night etc? Did you experience anything like that? thanks! Wish I could answer your question!

I agree I have booked cruises with carnival and royal this will be my first celebrity cruise and I have never had so much miscommunication. Every time I call I get a different answer. I hate that I can never call the same person back either. I will say thats one thing carnival has done right, you get to speak to the same person all the time and that makes a big difference in communication.

I have seen people talking about some unique jewelry that has the pink bermuda sand, I hope to find that on our upcoming trip!

A sometimes handy site for cruise weather:

thanks I will look into this!

I would recommend a light jacket. We just got off of the Summit on sunday and it was in the high 40's and raining. until Saturday morning it was in the 70's outside (we passed thru a cold front on our passage from Bermuda to Bayonne).

Thanks for the info! How were your first 2 days at sea? Were you able to get outside and felt warm enough for bathing suits?

what has your experience been leaving from cape liberty this time of year? We leave on 5/8 to bermuda, wondering if the weather is generally cooler? wondering if I need to pack warmer clothes?

Thanks for the responses so far! Good to know about the cigars and I will check out the latest reviews!

I am having a hard time wading through all the post about summit and I am hoping some recent cruisers can answer a few questions for me!

1. Does anyone have a picture or know a link to the menus? specifically the childrens menu options?

2. What is the current nightly entertainment? Who,when, what etc

3. Cigars- Is there a cigar lounge on this ship or can they be smoked on balconies?

4. Any info on the family verandahs would be great! We just upgraded tonight and info you have from staying in one would be appreciated!

Thanks for your help!

Got in touch through their Facebook, was given a direct contact email, emailed and had a quick response today!! We are all set for our visit!

Anyone booked with CoCo reef recently? We have tried to email them several time and we have called with no luck! Any information would be helpful! Wondering if they have gone out of business or something?

It would take about 35 minutes. It would cost about $35 for a taxi for 1 to 4 passengers. If you take a taxi you need a plan for your return. Don't count on taxis being there to take back. So arrange the taxi to come back for you. Or take the bus back. Another option if you have mobility is to walk along the beach and beach trails back from Warwick to Horseshoe to get a taxi at Horseshoe. It is a very scenic walk.

Thank you!!

Any idea on how long it would take or the cost of a taxi to warwick long bay? Johnsons cove looks like an awesome place to swim!

I am interested in going there but won't be that time frame! How are you all planning on getting there?

How many wall outlets are there in a suite typically? We are sailing on the conquest in a suite, and we have an infant so we want to be able to plug things in for ourselves as well as her. Is there a policy on extension cords? I seem to remember something about them being confiscated? Thanks

You would need to take a taxi to Blue Bay (about 10 - 15 minutes away by car), there are no beaches within walking distance of the ship.

 

There will be lots of taxis at the pier when you get there to take you to the beach, no need to pre-arrange a beach visit.

Thanks! So do you book Blue Bay through the resort?

This might sound dumb but how do you book private excursions? Like if we wanted to go to Blue Bay? Is that close enough to the port to walk? Do you book the day pass through a company or through the resort? It would be 5 of us including an infant so we want something close and easy to get back to the ship if we need to! We are used to doing excursions through the ship so Im just not sure how to go about booking my own! Thanks!

Hey guys so we are in a tight squeeze and needing to change our current plans and might be changing from RCL to Carnival. I don't have time to sit and look through all the posts so I need help understanding what carnival offers for infants. Do they offer any thing geared towards infants like the royal tots program RCL offers? Toy Lending? Infant pool area that allows diapers like RCL? Can I order diapers or baby food through their services? Thanks for any help and quick responses! Trying to change with in the next couple of hours!

subscribing! This is the biggest ship we will have cruised on, our first time in a JS and our first time with our daughter who will turn 7 months on the cruise! Cant wait for May to get here! Anyone else sailed with infants on this ship?

we are coming from the richmond area. I called and checked out the hilton you suggested yesterday and for 229 we can do the park stay cruise deal that includes the shuttle and leaving our car for 10 nights. Basically we would be paying 30 bucks for the room when you look at what it costs to park at the port. my DD won't need a bed so a standard room should work just fine as we will just be using her pack and play or she will sleep in the bed with us that one night.

we did look at the hotel in cranbury but my MIL is worried about parking at the port (safety of vehicles, traffic, construction?). I would like to be able to leave as soon as we get back so i think we will talk with her more about that option. thanks so much for your input as we are not at all familiar with the area!

Thanks Carol!! Checking into these hotels now!

We are looking for a decent hotel that offers Park and Cruise for May 20th. We have 4 adults and 1 child. Budget is flexible, preferably with restaurant on site or something very close by. Has anyone stayed at the country inn and suites Newark airport? Also, do most park and cruise hotels charge you for transfer to the port?

Thanks for any help!!

Thanks so much for all the replies we will be checking these courses out!!

Has anyone played at Bermuda? Recommend any golf courses? Are there any that are in a resort where we could get a day pass to use facilities while the guys golf?
