On board equinox

We made it to Equinox, sailed an hour early, heading to dinner at luminae, our first suite ion Celebrity since 94. Flew fromNewark yesterday, stayed in Embassy Suites in FLL. New Uber driver who didn't read signs just his GPS, small speed bumps but no big deal.

Enjoy your cruise, suite life, Michaels Club and Luminae are great. BTW, we've never had a good driver in Ft Lauderdale, be it Taxi or Uber, who would not even pick us up. Like Embassy Suites but have vowed to find a hotel with a shuttle from the air port.

Have a wonderful cruise.

Appreciate any future updates you can share (when is the Meet & Mingle)?

We are on the 6 OCT sailing and appreciate any info you can share.

Thanks...

Doug

Thanks Don, really appreciate it.

Also, be on the look out for the artichoke soup in Luminae. It is amazing. (If you like artichokes)

Looking forward to your posts. Help me make it through the next 10 days till it is my turn!!

Enjoy you went through a lot to get here.

I'll be looking forward to your experience in Luminae. And my Luminae suggestion is the huevos rancheros -- an interesting interpretation of the dish and the breakfast my husband orders day after day after day.

Easy to get hooked on the Suite life;). Enjoy your cruise!

Enjoy your cruise.

Have a great cruise, Don. Enjoy your suite!

Lunch and dinner in Luminae were fantastic. We both had filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. Burger at lunch was good and wife had skewers with seafood.

Enjoy the Suite Life!! We love all of them and we have sailed in SS, CS, Signature Suite and RS....ENJOY!

Enjoy your cruise and your suite.

The food in Luminae sounds delicious so far

We are in 1666 which is on the 11th deck aft. The veranda is nice wraps around to the side a bit. There is a second entrance as I believe the room next to us is set up to adjooon ours. I am familiar with the set up on adjoining rooms but this is a bit different. Lots of storage and drawer space and quite a spacious room. Bathroom has a tub and is quite nice. We do not have the over the bed storage as in other rooms but do not need it.

By the way I love Michaels Club, may spend time there instead of casino. Oh well off for a quick swim and than CC party.

Weird CC party, held at Passport bar which is open and we had a large group. People walk by and ask what's going on should be in a closed room. The other thing that Celebrity should do is have us put our screen names on the name tags. I've been saying this for years, we don't know each other by our names.

Now for the weirdness, Cruise director said a couple of things and introduced the officers who did not speak. He then turned the mike over to the people running slot pull and cabin crawl. Last woman finished her comments and went to give mike to CD but all the officers and CD were gone.'quite awkward and everybody left. I think setting up the equipment took longer than the meeting.

Our last CC party on EQ was in the sky observation lounge. Definitely strange to have it in an open setting like that. Doesn't sound like the CD made much of an effort.

We are on the ship too. That was the strangest meet and greet that I've ever been too. I left fairly quickly since it was going nowhere. We are hanging out by the pool and so grateful to just be on the cruise.

Maybe Officers and CD had alot to do b/c of revised itin????

Was the social host/ hostess there?

Did they at least have all the registered names?

Celeb Meet and Greet ( fomerly Connections Party) never as good as Royal C but this location seems not very good for a party...

Enjoy the Cruise!

I believe the Event Coordinator that was onboard, his contract ended on Friday. That could explain yours being so strange, perhaps arranged by a newbie or someone who doesn't normally do the CC party. 😟

I am on the next sailing leaving on the 25th. Who is your cruise director? I heard a rumor that Richard Spacey would be returning to the Equinox at the end of the month and I am hoping he will be the CD on our sailing.

Have a wonderful cruise!
