  1. Did you end up doing this excursion? Thoughts?
  2. We loved it. The Catamaran crew was absolutely fabulous. They told us that they usually take 40-50 people. Our boat only had 25, which made it a lot less crowded. Plenty of snacks and drinks on board. I was kinda disappointed that you only got to snorkel 1:00-1:20 minutes, but to be honest, that was plenty long enough. Be sure to swim up to the beach and enjoy soft sand.
  3. I would try again the next time your on board, because this statement "free day is ONLY for on-board internet purchases", is wrong. As a Diamond or Diamond+ member you get the free day(s) whether or not you purchase internet, just like Pinnacle gets a free week. OR you get the Price Equivalent OFF any onboard internet purchase. Which means, if you purchase internet pre-cruise at a lower rate, they are not going to give you free days because you would owe them money. Lets say internet pre-cruise is $16.99/day (that's the lowest I've ever seen) for a 7 day cruise. 7 x $16.99 = $119 Lets say internet onboard is $25.99/day for a 7 day cruise. 7 x $25.99 = $182 (minus $25.99 for 2 free days = $130). If you bought pre-cruise, you paid a lower rate. I could be wrong here, but this is my understanding. Like most C&A benefits, pre-cruise discounts are usually better than the onboard discount minus the C&A benefit.
  4. You should have no problem doing what @YellowBrickRoad does. The free day for "Status" has nothing to do with the price you paid for VOOM, discounted or not.
  5. Our January 7-day cruise had the same as yours on Day 2 and Day 6. We did not do the White, because we didnt see it pre-cruise, but I really liked the change. Everyone was dressed nice.
  6. I get it as well, but I wasn't talking about them using someone else's access, it would be her access. If she is using her phone and wants to use her computer, she can log out of her phone and log on with her computer. I rarely get internet when I'm at sea, because, part of a cruise for me is a total disconnect. However, if I do get it, I buy one device and switch between phone and PC when needed. It seems like a hassle, but takes 30 seconds to switch.
  7. St. Thomas is nice, but I would recommend doing an excursion that takes you over to St. Johns. You will not be disappointed. We did the Champagne Catamaran and Snorkel to Honeymoon Beach, and it was awesome.
  8. I think others may have mentioned it, but neither island (and most caribbean islands) do not have snakes. When these islands were settle by the English, Dutch, etc. they brought along the Mongoose, thus, no snakes. St. Kitts we did the volcano hike and I will tell you, if you are not in GREAT shape, do not do it. 70% of those doing the excursion never make it past the base of the mountain. I didn't care too much for the St. Kitts port area. As for St. Lucia, we didn't get off the boat this time, but heard the snorkeling excursions and history tours are great.
  9. We just did St. Thomas in January and had this excursion booked. After hearing about "possible" traffic delays, we decided that we didn't want to have a short day in St. Johns, so, we did the Catamaran Snorkel over to Honeymoon beach. It ended up being the best excursion of the cruise.
  10. I meant to comment on this and forgot, but it sounds like you found out. We did this excursion a few years back and really liked the encounter with the turtles and stingrays. I would recommend this to people of all ages. I was worried about my 6 year old, specially when we got in the water and realized it was over his head. He got in and swam underwater to touch the stingrays!
  11. If everyone in the cabin has internet, why worry about the 2nd device? What I mean is, lets say you want to use your phone and computer. You can switch between those devices by logging out on one and log in on the other, no need to get internet for both.
  12. Thanks Mike. That's kind of what I thought happens (or should happen).
  13. So, back to my question. If I book something on the cruise, do I need to tell them my status so I get the discounted price, or do they check the status in order to get me the price?
