LIVE 47 Days 3 Ships Caribbean Escape January 30th - March 20th!

[countess5]

Alright, I’ll stop after this, but…..sitting on the Magic Carpet for the last 2 hours. 3 bartenders at the bar no one walking around asking about service. If a bottle or glass blows over they are there to pick it up but not, can I get you anything. It’s all come to me if you need something. 
thought it was just the Sunset Bar but no it’s at Magic Carpet too! 
 

Oh Well, life is still good! 
 

Cheers!

3:45 why not an Expresso Martini! 
 

 

Cheers!

Thank you SO much for this live report! I'm sailing on my first Celebrity cruise at the end of May on Equinox, and you have made me even more excited than I already was.

You will have a great time with a great staff. Make sure to see Ernesto and DWI at the Sunset Bar!

Can I take a moment….,

Sitting at Al Bacio and watching people, it’s great to see people enjoying life! Couples together for many years, people on walkers, scooters, wheel chairs, spouses pushing spouses, children pushing and walking with parents or grandparents. Family’s having a great time.

The world is in such a changing mode but something all of us cruisers have in common, we love to cruise! 
 

life is good……

 

Cheers!

It’s Eden tonight!

Will report back on the night but looking forward to dinner… 8:30! 🙄 We use to eat late in our younger days but all good.

 

Cheers!

Morning from St Maarten! 
 

 

What an outstanding night! We started in the Martini bar. 

 

While we were leaving to head over to Eden guess who we ran into. 

Kate is amazing! People all around her like a rock star. Taking pics and really taking interest in your conversation. 

 

Then off the Eden, what a great meal. Barbie put it over Le Voyage! 

 

 

I said no food porn but for those that are missing it. 🙄

 

 

Great Salmon! 
 

We actually sat at the same table we sat at last year on Apex celebrating our 45th anniversary. The staff caught into that and brought us a piece of cake. 😀

 

We ended up back at the Martini Bar for after dinner drinks. 
 

onto St Maarten for the day! 
 

but first the gym. 😩
 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

If you have been to St Maarten, toured and shopped, it’s a great pool day! 

 

 

Busy port day! 

 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Just saying! 2:30 Caribbean time! 

 

 

Cheers!

Loving your review and so happy to hear that Le Voyage is included in the dining package. Have others had issues having it included? I'm getting the 3-night dining package and definitely want to try Le Voyage.

I love this. Cafe AlBacio is our favorite spot, and we could be counted as several of those groups!  40th anniversary is in August and, depending on the day, I may be found “assisting” my wife in her wheelchair! 
 

Great place to people watch, with some good window seats as well.

The waiter came to our table and said you have the dining package so no charge. 😀

Sail away in St Maarten tonight, was supposed to have a solo guitarist at Sunset Bar but that didn’t happen.

P&O was next to us and sail away was a great event! People loving life!

 

 

Great addition!

Morning from St Thomas

Weather is sun and clouds. Looked like it rained earlier this morning. 
We have Oasis of the seas docked next to us. 
Not our favorite port. Love the Island but docking at Crown Bay not great. 
 

Dinner was at Fine Cut last night. The meal was very good once we got it. The kitchen was very slow last night. From appetizer to main course was a 45 minute wait. 
 

Can’t blame to wait staff they did a great job. 
 

After dinner we had our after dinner drinks at the Martini Bar. Not a lot of entertainment at the bar last night. Tonight is a magician, which I am looking forward to. 
 

Easy day today, going up on deck for some cards. We pull out of St Thomas at 3:30 PM. We will be here longer in a couple of weeks. 
 

Cheers! 

[countess5]

Took some pics on the way to cards at Sunset Bar.

Magic Carpet.

 

Quick question for you...

Do they allow smoking on the Magic Carpet?

We are looking at booking a Magic Carpet Sky Suite next year and that is our only concern.

You cruise(s) look wonderful so far.

Have a great time!!!

No smoking on the Magic Carpet! There are designated areas for smoking around the shop which I will address later, but you are good to go!

Perfect.  

We already identified the smoking areas and have decided we are good to book a Magic Carpet Sky Suite.

Enjoy!!!

Morning as we approach Puerto Plata DM

 

 

 

Yesterday was another day of cards and this sight. 

 

Woke up this morning to a rainbow!
