Haven't snorkeled in Nassau but Freeport snorkeling was great!

Absolutely loved your Reflection review so will be following this one closely as well. Enjoy the cruise (although I have no doubt that you will).

And they are yummy!

Agree that it's confusing! I went through the cruise planner link, and tried booking my excursion. There's a small horizontal line near the OBC amount with a slider dot on it. Slide it across to get to the amount of OBC that you want to use. Once I did this, the request for credit card information disappeared as OBC covered the excursion cost.

Doing it over the phone is a much better idea. I just tried to book my unlimited internet for our upcoming 14-day cruise but the website would only allow me to book for 2-3 days!!

On our last 14 day cruise, remaining excursions went on sale at around day 10. Of course, I had purchased our Everglades tour and airport drop off the day before.

I have had no problem getting a nice Pinot Grigio in the MDR on the Classic package but my favourite, which is also included​, is the Prosecco.

There is a country listed at the bottom of the screen that seemed to have a drop down but i couldn't get it to change. Driving me nuts at work because we have a US IP address. I can't get Canadian even when I'm logged in.

Maybe they don't want Canadian business anymore. My drop down menu states "United States" and nothing more. Not much of a drop down menu, is it? It's hard to believe that they came up with an even worse website. How is that even possible??

Does anyone know if it is possible on the new website to change the country? I used to be able to search prices in Canadian dollars but don't seem able to do that anymore. Am I missing something or is this now no longer an option?

Thanks,

Anne

You are far better off asking this on your roll call.

They kept the .16¢ that we didn't manage to spend last cruise.

We haven't snorkelled on the other three islands but have done it twice in Barbados. Both were good but our favourite was Calabaza. A full day on a beautiful catamaran with wonderful snorkeling with turtles and over wrecks. Amazing hosts and food and the best rum punch I have ever tasted!

MDR menus are displayed outside the dining room each day. Lobster tails are served on the last chic night of the cruise.

Yup, far more casual for breakfast and lunch.

Grandmannie7, What is a Spyder and from whom did you rent it?

I have to second the already recommended tours of Cosol's in St. Lucia and Bumpiing tours in Dominica. Both were unforgettable!

A Spyder is a motorcycle with 2 wheels on the front. Not sure if the company is still in business as they were changing hands and didn't have our reservation recorded. Since they had one available, we were able to rent it and toured the island on our own. DH was in his glory!

I also have to agree about Cosol tours on St Lucia. Absolutely amazing day!

I have two:

 

1) Calabaza in Barbados - a full day on a private catamaran on a picture perfect day that included swimming with turtles, snorkeling at a shipwreck, a fabulous homemade lunch, and unlimited rum punch.

 

2) America's Cup Regatta Race in St. Maarten - another picture perfect day on the water. So fun to become a crew member for the day and race against another boat.

 

I also loved kayaking in the bio bay on a moonless night in San Juan.

Calabaza was definitely one of our favourites. Also, we rented a Spyder on St. Martin which was DH's favourite. In Ocho Rios, the Blue Hole and river tubing was fun. In Grand Cayman, swimming with the sting rays is a must. So many memorable days that it truly is difficult to choose. Have fun trying as many as you can!

Thanks for the update. Glad that things worked out in the end.

The closest thing is Reflection in early January 2019.

Rogers in Canada has a "Roam Like Home" plan which allows you to access the data, talk and text included in your plan for $10/day.

Thanks. My plan is affiliated with Rogers so I might be able to access this.

Hi we are with Telus :-) So for our 12 day Caribbean cruise in will cost me $91 on top of my existing plan way cheaper than doing internet on the ship !!

That's great! Thanks. I'll have to check my carrier to see if they have something similar. Way cheaper for sure! Happy cruising.

Internet prices are so expensive while cruising. I will just wait to get into ports, use free wifi or transfer my plan. In Canada we can bring our own plan that includes unlimited talk time, texting and data to all non-US Caribbean islands for only $10 a day or to any US Islands for $7 a day. For us this is by far the best alternative

May I ask what carrier this is with?

Sent from my HUAWEI KII-L05 using Tapatalk

As previously stated, they are offered occasionally. I don't think that Celebrity does them as well as some of the other cruise lines we have tried, but I do enjoy them.

Sent from my HUAWEI KII-L05 using Tapatalk

Good for you! That's a great deal. What date?

Sent from my HUAWEI KII-L05 using Tapatalk

I find that roll calls for 7 day sailings much less active than for longer sailings. I assume that this is because most passengers are still working or have family obligations that keep them busier than those with the flexibility to take longer cruises. Not sure if this is the case in your situation.

Sent from my HUAWEI KII-L05 using Tapatalk

Do you KNOW it's a charter or is that mere speculation.

OP said that they were told by a Celebrity agent that it was chartered in the first post.
