Nassau excursion question (also Orlando)
lola2013 replied to tagpsu's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We did the same last September and really enjoyed the day. We were told we were the first group since the restart and the staff couldnāt have been nicer. -
Conflicting reports on testing protocols
lola2013 replied to zebra's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Unfortunately, yes. I applied two weeks ago and am still waiting for approval. Iām sure it will be worth it. Susan -
Conflicting reports on testing protocols
lola2013 replied to zebra's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We sail on 8/21...eight nights to Bermuda...still have to test and can't do it until I get to Florida (two days prior)...GRRRRR! -
Congrats on NEGATIVE. I will be taking my first proctored test two weeks from today before boarding a cruise on 8/21. I wish I could do it before flying, but requirements are still two days pre cruise (apparently due to Bermuda restrictions). Just added stress for someone who hates to fly and is worried everything will fit into her luggage (loved your post yesterday with the guy trying to fit everything into his bag). Overpack? Hell yes!!! Enjoy your cruises. Susan

We did it on Jewel in 2019. I was really looking forward to it, but was disappointed. The "murder" took place in one of the lounges; but we were then moved into a larger space to solve the murder during dinner. Unfortunately, not many people were interested in the story and it was a loud free-for-all (best I can describe it). No one paid much attention...instead visiting with their neighbors. I never did find out who the murderer was. Best recollection is that dinner was good!

Absolutely!

Summit LIVE Bermuda (7/24-7/31) AQ Class Review
lola2013 replied to GenerationX's topic in Celebrity Cruises
How in the world did I totally miss this fabulous review? Please donāt tell the boss, but I look at Cruise Critic at least a dozen times a day. And since I am sailing to Bermuda in a few weeks, my eyes should have gone directly to your review title immediately!!! Anyway, once again, I loved your review, wardrobe and especially your tiara. Happy belated birthday and already looking forward to your next review. Susan -
Would you pay $21,348 for a 5 night cruise to Bermuda?
lola2013 replied to Seannie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Not even if I won the $800m lottery tonight........ -
We are using the government provided tests. If you have looked at the Rapid Test and Trace website, you'll see a dropdown when asked about which test you are using. The government test is not listed; I typed it in next to "other", indiated that it was the government test and was accepted. FYI, that test box is very small. I plan to pack at least two of them! Perhaps someone else can answer about expired tests; I have read that many have gotten a three-month extension from the date on the box but can't remember where I read that...and don't want to give you bad info. Good luck.

So sorry that happened...but can I say how great it is that your aunt is still sailing at 97??? Good for her!

We did Celebrity Solstice a few years back and it was amazing. We flew to Honolulu for about 4 days pre-cruise...cruised around the islands with 4 stops (Maui was overnight) and then sailed five days across the Pacific to Vancouver. I loved the sea days...we booked SVs and were able to watch the sunset from our balcony every night. We chose the eastbound itinerary so that we could get the long (ten hour flight) out of the way...and then just four hours home at the end of the trip. That said...my mom and dad did NCL long ago and totally enjoyed that also! They likely would not have appreciated all the sea days so this worked for them. Any cruise that involves Hawaii with a winner! Enjoy.

When does your countdown start?
lola2013 replied to DrewCC2225's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I couldn't sleep one night a couple of weeks ago...decided to put my time to good use...naturally my thoughts went to cruise clothes!!! -
When does your countdown start?
lola2013 replied to DrewCC2225's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The excitement starts the minute I make a reservation! I sail in 32 days...lists are made (months ago), clothes are pulled and ready to be ironed...new suitcase purchased... ARE WE THERE YET??????????š -

Positive Experience with RapidTestAndTrace

Thank you again Mike. Iāve scheduled my test for August. Hereās hoping the testing process is as easy as the sign up process! And, of course, a NEGATIVE result š -
Positive Experience with RapidTestAndTrace
lola2013 replied to OCSC Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for this info. We were planning on ordering tests from eMed, but this sounds like a better alternative since we already have the government tests. I see we can schedule tests for 8/19, which is two days before boarding. We will already be in Cape Canaveral; no laptops, but if a phone can be used, we will use a ipad for a larger screen! Thanks again. -
Thanks!

Thanks...I figure Nassau is my best bet. Rather than a resort spa, I typically find someone on a public beach with a table set-up next to the water's edge...that's paradise! Susan
-
Thanks. Yes, spa treatments on the ship are very pricey! Even with OBC, I can't make myself spend double what I pay at home. Our other ports on this cruise are Bermuda and Nassau, which will be my best opportunity to find a massage! Thanks again, Susan
-
I am a huge fan of a beach massage when I cruise. There's just something about getting a massage with the waves lapping and warm ocean breezes! Does anyone who has been to CocoCay recently know if that service is offered? Thanks!

On my February 9 day still no excursions for Aruba or Curacao
lola2013 replied to Virginia100's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Is this 2/9/23 ABC itinerary on Equinox? We booked a Celebrity excursion in Bonaireā¦a Viator excursion in CuraƧao and will get to a beach in Aruba. I thought itās odd also since excursions are available for all ports for December, 2023. -
We sailed on Reflection in January. No more individual bottles of shampoo/conditioner in the showerā¦only larger bottles mounted on the wall.

My first cruise on Celebrity was in concierge because of a last minute upgrade...I didn't see the benefit. I'm also not a foodie so Blu would not be important to me; I am usually happy with the MDR or OVC! I am happy to spend a little more money to get a Sunset Verandah to enjoy the views of the wake. I am also a non-drinker so that perk doesn't benefit me.

Our group did it on Jewel a few years back. The murder took place in a lounge; we were then moved into a space for the dinner and clues to try to solve the mystery (sorry, can't remember the names of the venues). The crowd quickly became disinterested and very loud. I was trying to follow along but couldn't hear anything. Pretty disappointed. At least the dinner was good!
