Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. we will check out the pubs. Thanks for the Bills comment. There's always next year!
  2. My husband and I will be on this cruise as well. No excursions planned for NOLA and i'm looking forward to going to the French Market and getting pralines. Of course getting the best Etoufee in the world too. My team isn't in the Super Bowl (there's always next year!) so I am not crazy about watching either. Thanks Gary for the tip on Maloney's. I wonder if this is the same irish bar I stopped at 20 odd years ago.
  3. You can order from the main dining room on the Constellation when dining in Blu. My understanding is that the kitchens are right next to each other.
  4. I grabbed the $6.99 for our Mardi Gras cruise in Feb 2024 and our B2B on the Beyond in 2025 was $13.99. maybe that is still a good deal but I am holding off on upgrading right now for the 2025 cruises.
  5. I got the same $6.99 and upgraded DH and self for our 12 night in Feb 2024 Mardi Gras cruise. with gratuities, cost us $200. It is worth it for me as I love the smoothies and the premium package wines (10 & 20 year old Port after dinner too)
  6. The AA rep was clear even after I gave him all the details of the flight. He said there would be no problem so why wouldn't I believe the guy that works for the airline. He said nothing about cancelling the original flight. anyway, we thought the FLL flight back when we were in Miami didn't make sense since we were booked one way.
  7. I wanted to and if my husband wasn't in the room, I would have. He was afraid that the original booking would be cancelled. BTW the rep said we could book the miami flight but they would cancel our Fort Lauderdale flight and give us no refund.
  8. We also did the 4 day on the Silhouette and so glad we did a 10 day on the Equinox as a B2B. Very disappointed in booking a 4 day during the holiday period (note to self). This felt more like a Royal Caribbean cruise as the atmosphere IMO didn't feel like a Celebrity cruise. Soooooo many people in the pool that had glass bottles in hand. Celebrity pool attendants were crazy busy and I assume could not keep up with monitoring the bottle issue. Food right at the pool and fruit at the bottom of the pool. The rest of the time was good but pool side not what I had experienced on all of our other cruises
  9. We did back to back - March 27 to April 6 on the Equinox Fort Lauderdale and then transferred to Silhouette in Miami for a 4 day . A friend recommened we use Flights by Celebrity and they did the reservation. Booked one way with Southwest and also return one way with American. Both out of Ft Lauderdale. Didnt' dawn on me that if one way, the American return flight could have conveniently been out of Miami. Instead, out of FLL. A month prior, we found a return flight out of Miami with American for $200 less per ticket. Flights by Celebrity - I called 3X - refused to change the flight. Even though my discussion with an American airlines rep said we could make the change for a change fee of $50. The last rep with Flights by Celebrity said the American airlines rep was wrong. Guess Flights by Celebrity knows more about the american airlines rules than the employees at American. So our return was out of FLL and the flights were not what I would have booked. Long winded post, but NEVER again, will we use Flights by Celebrity. The representatives left a lot to be desired in customer service (I worked for years in customer service so I can recognize when a rep wants to help). Very sad that Flights reps were very unco-operative even when I shared exactly what the american airlines rep shared. They couldn't be bothered to double check.,
  10. Oh, I'm so sorry. He said Silhouette when I spoke earlier in the week.
  11. You mentioned that you will be on the Silhouette on April 10th. One of our favorite entertainers, Robert Neary, will be performing his Neil Diamond review. Make sure you check out his performance. You won't be disappointed. I follow Robert's career and we talk from time to time. Great guy with a lot of talent.
  12. Your post is wonderful! We did 21 days on the Constellation a year and a half ago. the 6 weeks you spent on the Equinox had to be wonderful. We will look for Lillian, Sabar and Bryan for sure and will mention you both to them. World class bar is our favorite! We were on the Equinox in November and Adrian was fabulous. He said he would be on the ship for this upcoming cruise. Several of the crew we met in November will be sailing with us. I'm looking forward to re-connecting back with them.
  13. I agree with everything you are saying. It was recommended by fellow friend cruisers to try Flights but won't use them again. The return flight for us in April is horrible and we found one cheaper with a better route but they won't/can't/don't care to change the flights because they books us on a non-refundable. All 3 X I called AFTER calling the airline (who said we could change) refused to do anything at all. I did wait for the survey and gave a big ZERO when asked if I would recommend "Flights by Celebrity" to anyone. Very disappointed to say the least. Also a family members flight got changed on the return flight to a day that we are out to sea! Crazy
  14. We will be on the 4 day to Key West and Nassau with you! Almost back to back because we will be on the Equinox March 27 - St Kitts, Martinique, Barbados, St Johns, etc. and then transfer from Ft Lauderdale to Miami. 1A balcony mid ship and will be joined by 4 family members who have never cruised. Hope we can say hello when on the Silhouette.
  15. thanks for the post. This is very helpful as we will be on the ship on Monday. We booked the same excursion in Martinique so it is good to know you had a great time. We have an aquaspa cabin midship and hoping Blu is as good as it always has been in the past.
