Before getting slammed, please note, that I did post this on the Antigua board - with no results. I am looking for people's experiences who have done this excursion. I did read some reviews on trip advisor which mentioned lots of seasickness and also many wonderful experiences. I am recalling an excursion I did years ago from St. Thomas to St. John on a catamaran when I felt very yucky the majority of the trip, I am a bit hesitant on keeping our reservation for this excursion for Antigua. We will be in Antigua mid Jan. and I do plan on taking Bonine the night prior to the excursion and the morning of the excursion. If you have done this excursion, would you please let me know if there were many people seasick. Thank you to all who reply.

Heading to Antigua in Jan. and had read some reviews that many people had gotten seasick on this excursion. We have this booked, and I plan on taking Bonine the night prior and the morning of the excursion, but I am also considering cancelling it. I am wondering if it was just an unusually rough day at sea for these people or if it is always rough. If you have taken this excursion, would you please let me know how your trip was. Thank you.

We just cruised on the Summit repo cruise last month, and no mention to us of any "specials" in the main dining room. Many nights, we just ate in the buffet, as the menu did not appeal to us.

We will be visiting in Jan. and it has been a number of years since visiting this port. I do recall that the pier is quite a walk. Are there pedicabs or trams that are on the pier like some other ports of call that go from the ship to the water taxi (or end of the pier)?

I, too, was just able to upgrade from our included Classic pkg. to Premium on two of our upcoming cruises (Silhouette 1/15/24 and Eclipse 10/11/24) for $6.99 pp per day, plus gratuities. 🙂

Today, I was able to upgrade our included Classic Drink Pkg. on two of our upcoming cruises -- 1/15/24 Silhouette and 10/11/24 Eclipse for $6.99 pp per day, plus gratuities! I had originally upgraded our Eclipse for $10.00 pp per day, plus gratuities and canceled that today and rebooked at the lower rate!!!! 🙂

We do receive actual menus in the dining room.

I am also on the ship with basic wifi and not having any issues with it whatsoever. Not even in my room which is midship deck 3.

I didn't read all the posts, but I just went back and read #44. :(. I had a number of friends on board right now. I hope they aren't too disappointed.

Are you not stopping overnight in Bermuda today?

I see where you can take the bus and get dropped off near Amsterdam Hotel then walk to Passions on the Beach. Can you take a taxi and have it drop you off right near Passions? If so, how much is the taxi?

Does anybody have a list of the cost of taxi fares to the beaches? 1) Mambo 2) Blue Bay 3) Porto Marie 4) Cas Abou?

I hope you are having a wonderful time. Thank you for responding.

I have read the hottubs are out of commission and have been for quite some time. Is this still accurate? We will be embarking on her next Friday.

Sailed on RCL in Sept. 2022 and on Celebrity Oct. 2022. Chops filet blew away the filet in Tuscan Grill. There was no comparison.

We did this a few years ago, so I don't recall if we did north or south. I want to say south. We saw slave huts, salt mines, past numerous areas you could snorkel and we took it all the way to spend some time at Sorobon Beach. This is the route I would suggest.

I have reserved MJS Transportation for our return from Port of Miami to FLL for Oct. 23rd. Our flight is at 12:25 p.m. As it is just my husband and me this time, this was the most cost-effective option. When traveling with a group, we have used Larry's Limos which was excellent. We used them in Oct. 2022.

I take Bonine.

Thank you for posting this. I never even think to check the casino tab for savings. I was able to prepurchase at the $20.99 rate for blackjack tournament for my husband for our upcoming cruises on Summit in 10/2023, Silhouette 1/2024 and Eclipse 10/2024. 🙂

Although we have been on 6 cruises since the ending of covid where we were assigned check-in times on Celebrity, NCL, Holland and RCL, I have YET to see anyone checking your check-in time.

I filled mine out yesterday!

Thanks for the heads up. Although I repriced excursions/specialty dinners during the last sale, I was able to reprice at even a lower rate today on all 4 of my upcoming trips.

When going to Bugaloe, as the taxi driver to take you to DePalm Pier. This is our go-to when visiting Aruba!

I understand your dilemma completely. Just returned from the Pearl this past Friday. I was/am having IT Band hip/leg pain brought on by walking only a few hundred feet. First day we took a shuttle to Horseshoe Bay. Second day would have liked to go to the Snorkel Park, but there was no way I could do the walk there, nor could I do the walk to Calico Jack's. We stayed on board the ship and I enjoyed the pool that day. I don't know if a taxi driver would have taken me and my husband to either, as they are an easy walk for most, as we did not even try to get a taxi.

Yes, we were three couples at the table (traveling together), and I believe each couple handed him additional gratuity. 🙂
