Vacation often requires tuning in a balance between doing everything, and relaxing, which may mean doing nothing. Today we continued striking what has been to me, a good balance, but it meant the day went in an unexpected way – but turned out great. Our time on shore in Tortola, the evening’s show, and dinner all came together nicely.
We got an early start in St Thomas for an excursion with a view, then enjoyed perfect weather back on Celebrity Equinox, seeing talented performers in the theater, and we feel like we’re starting to get into our stride on this ship...
Some cruisers prefer sea days, while others prefer being in port. Today felt like we had the best of both worlds as we enjoyed relaxing on the ship for the first half of the day until we arrived in San Juan at about 3:30pm. Docking in Old San Juan provides easy access to forts, historic sites, and a battery of great shops and restaurants. Since we’ve visited a couple times in the past year though, we ended up deviating from that routine a bit...
Sea days are, to us, meant for relaxation, and that’s exactly what we did with our first full day on Celebrity Equinox. While relaxing though, we managed to check out glass blowing at the lawn club, lay down and enjoy the serenity of the Solarium, try out a specialty restaurant, and more...
As I write this, I look back 24 hours ago to putting up hurricane shutters in the pouring rain, and expecting that sea water and wind my render everything at home nothing but a big cleanup of a past chapter. Now, my worries are lessened, I’m enjoying a nice cruise, and watching people laugh and smile in a silent disco at sea...
Recently, Celebrity Cruises began offering several packages you can buy online before your cruise, which combine a variety of things you might be looking for anyway. The idea here is that purchasing them bundled may save some cruisers cash. Additionally, we'll talk about their Premier Pass, and what that offers...
Last week we watched live as Celebrity Equinox sailed out of Port Everglades with her new livery, but there is much more to see than just a new hull color. Equinox is the first Solstice class ship to complete Celebrity Revolution, the line's $500 million fleet revitalization project. She's got new venues, decor, entertainment, technology, and much more - which we'll be sharing in person soon!
Frequent visitors to the site and listeners to the CruiseHabit Podcast probably noticed that had a lot to say about Celebrity Edge when we sailed on her for a three night preview voyage in early December of 2018. This Sunday, January 13, 2019 we're back on board, and this time we're spending a full seven nights taking in everything that this unique ship has to offer. Briefly, we'll review our plans for our second Celebrity Edge cruise...
Celebrity Edge offers a space all the way aft (at the back) that has tall windows, wrapping around over 180 degrees, where you can dine, get a hand-crafted cocktail, read a book, sit outside, or experience the amazing performers in a rather unconventional display of talents. The name of this space? Eden. Together, the aforementioned elements create not a venue, or a show, but an experience. This experience is so unique that we...
