LIVE Norwaylady escape the winter on Equinox B2B 23.03-11.04.24

Saddened to hear about your parents dear dog Alf. He had a wonderful home and a new life with his new parents. Glad he got to live out his life where he was welcomed loved and appreciated. We had Brandon and James with us on the transatlantic last April on the Beyond so saw several of their shows. We enjoyed them. -
Any idea what kind of 4x4 open vehicle is used in Castries St Lucia for Celebrity’s excursion from the port to a waterfall, fishing villages and beach excursions?

Easter is really late next year so hoping all the Spring break kids are back in school. -
We stayed at this same Marriott when we were here last time. We schlepped our bags in the reverse from the ship up to the Marriott!! Very nice to have the M Club for breakfast and a light dinner. Very nice lounge. It will be fun to follow along with you as we are doing a B2B2B Oct-Nov this year. We are cruising down from Honolulu and doing a similar flight to you on Hawaiian Air on our return to the west coast. Have a wonderful trip Mary.

Have a wonderful time. I imagine since it’s spring break time there are many families. The pool 🏊♀️ could get quite loud. . I just looked at our Caribbean cruise April of 2025 and realized we are cruising over Easter! What were we thinking!! Excited to see all your tropical 🌴 photos coming up. -

I can only imagine how tired the two of you are and just want to arrive in FL and head to bed! If there is anything we definitely understand well it’s all about airplane doors! The door that fell off the Alaska flight happened here in Portland. When we flew to FL for our cruise all the aircraft of that model were taken out of service and our flight was canceled with two days notice! That left many of us scrambling to get FL. I hope you get there tonight so you get a day to rest. -

Fun to log on to CC while sitting here on a rainy day in NW USA drinking my coffee and see that you are traveling again. Warm Caribbean weather after all that snow will be a great welcome I’m sure and give you renewed energy to tackle a home remodel. Have a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing with all of us. -
A strange/ dumb question on corkage fees?
mauimary replied to ilovefriday's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I believe it was $25. We went to guest relations and they removed it. Another reason to check your account every day. Much easier to get it removed on the ship. -
That’s great that you use it. We are usually in SV verandas ourselves. Just saying for the Edge class that does not have that many standard balconies it can work. We made it work because we didn’t have any choice. Definitely have to have the right mindset and understand it is not a traditional balcony. During the day we were out and about and didn’t spend much time in our stateroom. We like to read so we would find a quiet place somewhere else.

mauimary replied to ilovefriday's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We got charged a corkage fee and we did not even bring wine into the dining room! Obviously someone else’s charge so the real party may not even have been charged!!! -
We did a transatlantic April of 2023 in an IV on the Beyond. Actually it worked out well. We liked it far better than we ever thought it would. Like others have said it makes the room bigger and gives extra seating. Our weather was pretty decent and during the day we were not in our room very much. If the weather is lousy you probably would not be on a veranda either. You can always step outside up on 14 or even on deck 5 outside of Eden.

We saw several tuxes on our Beyond Cruise in Feb. There were also many people who dressed up with many guys wearing suit jackets. Woman wore fancy dresses too. They called it “dress your best”. For some obviously that was better than others! Those that wore the clothes they wore into port were in the minority.
