Rare whitshel Posted August 20, 2017 Author #201 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thank you so much for the great pics! Looks like you had a great time. The lineup for tenders in GC looks pretty long...how bad was the wait to get off or did it move pretty quickly? We have a privately booked excursion and we're just wondering how far ahead we need to get in line. Also, were there any laundry specials during your sailing? Thanks and safe flight home! Cathy They were still calling numbers at noon, they started at 1030. So I would get in line for tenders Tix early. We decided to get off about 1130, since we are elite we met in the ensemble lounge and walked right down. Felt kinda wired walking past those lines of people but I guess I paid my dues.

Rare whitshel Posted August 20, 2017 Author #202 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Ok, I think were next. We have tag #19 and was supposed to be at 820. They are about 30 to 40 mins behind. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challahmom Posted August 20, 2017 #203 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thank you for including us on your cruise! Your pics really make us anxious to board the Equinox on October 27rh for our next cruise. When you gathered with Elite and Elite + for the breakfast before disembarkation in the Tuscan Grille, do they still serve pastries, juice and coffee?

mek Posted August 21, 2017 #205 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We were in 6240 last week on the Equinox. The bed is by the balcony. We found the location to be perfect. I didn't have any issues with noise from the hallway. We were on the Aug, 13th sailing also and in cabin 6216 - right on the hump by the internet cafe and elevators. Food was very good and the entertainment was great. Throughly enjoyed the cruise, but it was just too hot for me - will never again go to the Caribbean during summer.

RichardE954 Posted August 22, 2017 #207 Share Posted August 22, 2017 What a nice looking couple. And you don't look a day over 49! Where would you recommend eating lunch after boarding the first day? We hate going to the buffet. Did you book Tropicante on your own? How long was the taxi ride there? It looks awesome. And most importantly, how did you get that great price? Through a travel agent or own your own through Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most importantly, how did you get that great price? Through a travel agent or own your own through Celebrity? I will have to admit the the Oceanview on embarkation day was a mad house, we couldn't find a table inside so we had to eat outside and it was hot as you know what in Miami. We did book Tropicante on our own, you just email Steve and he will email you back http://www.sandalsandskis.com/tropicante.html , the taxi ride there is at most 10 mins and thats going really slow, about 5 or 10 miles an hour. I assume you mean for the price on the cruise, I'm not sure, it was definitely a group rate but there were a lot of online agencies offering it. I was totally surprised to find that for a summer cruise. Celebrity was also offering their $50 deposit at the time, when I called the t/a they told me that the group qualified for the reduced deposit, which again surprised me because usually groups don't. And it even came with a $50 OBC and free gratuities Price Total1,060.00Total NCCF (port charges)350.00Taxes/Fees256.40Total (USD)1,666.40Amount Paid50.00Balance Due1,616.40 Customer NotesThis reservation include $50.00 on board credit plus free gratuities compliment of xxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mek Posted August 23, 2017 #210 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We got an unobstructed balcony on the hump, which is near the elevators and what we need for DH for $1,938 bottom line - for the 2 of us + $175 OBC. We only booked 4 weeks out, so I was thrilled that I was able to get such a good cabin so close to sailing - someone must have changed cabins and this one became available. Guarantees were several hundred $'s less, but we need to be close to elevators, so they're usually not an option for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooker Posted August 24, 2017 #211 Share Posted August 24, 2017 What a fantastic review and pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed reading along. We are doing the same ship/itinerary in March 2018, and your review has been a big help. One question - what did you do in GC? Thanks in advance.

amunhbuu Posted August 24, 2017 #212 Share Posted August 24, 2017 My wife photobombed your picture. I think you all were sitting right next to us. It feels like it's 20 degrees cooler than in Miami and Key West. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted August 27, 2017 Author #213 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Was that price for 2 or 1? That was for the 2 of us. I thought it was a fantastic deal especially since it was a summer sailing. Plus we booked it in November, so it wasn't like it was a last minute thing.

We walked around a shopped a bit. This was i think the 6th time we were in GC, 4 of the times we did Nativeway's Rays, reef and rum point outing. Ya we think thats an awesome tour.

You'll have a great time, be sure to venture to Mahajual, don't stay in the port area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetimeforme Posted August 31, 2017 #217 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks for the review. We've been deciding on our upcoming day in GC and so glad to hear you've enjoyed the Nativeway tour enough to do so 4 times. That's good enough to make my decision easier!
