ISABELLA

Finally! Some positive reviews about Equinox. We are looking forward to our upcoming cruise on Equinox in 2 weeks.

I don't think I will visit London these days.

We are booked on Sun Princess, sailing next May. With all unrest in Europe, I am wondering if Princess will make changes in itineraries. I am assuming Istanbul will be taken out... Celebrity already made changes.

So tired of price game.

Not excited about E class.

Or venn diagrams😜

To the new cruiser, Celebrity can sell anything, if they call it " special' or "exclusive".

On our last cruise most people did not follow the guidelines. At least we didn't see pj type of clothing. We are old school and always dressed up for an evening. Nicely dressed people enhance cruising experience. At current times, I know a lot of people will not agree with me. I am not in for discussion " don't judge the book by it's cover".

We only bid on one category Sky suites and it is open for modification, just noted as pending. I will check my CC. Thank you.

Question for experienced in move up bids: What does " pending" mean? Maybe?? or just that Celebrity received our bid? Thanks

We are considering a cruise on Beyond, but we don't like IV, so I was looking on booking what they have Porthole veranda. Anyone with experience in sailing one, please share your opinions. I think we will prefer aft cabin. Thank you very much.

$8.99 upgrade on November 30 cruise.

I missed Perry. He is a great entertainer, but not everybody's cup of tea. About new benefit - so much hoo haa about nothing.

We used to cruise 3 -4 times a year on X. After pandemic we had 3 cruises booked, but 2 of them we had to cancel. Last one on X was in March of 2022 and it was fantastic. This year we took one cruise on NCL Haven and it was very nice. Now we only have 1 to go in about 5 weeks on Equinox. Have not booked any on X yet. Next year we have 2 booked with different cruise lines. Will see if November cruise will motivate us to book another cruise on X.

No doubt. Wonder how many of them are interested in cruising.

Every generation has its benefits. Hopefully your children will have ability to cruise when you long gone.

That were the days. Remember them well.

They need to realize that some of the younger demographic don't have the money.

The cutbacks will continue as long as customer will allow. If people continue complaining, but still booking, nothing will improve.

You are correct - there are always be somebody to book a cruise.. And X will charge high prices as long as people will be willing to pay till they start to compare. That is what we did. AQ was $6500 for 9 days Carib cruise and NCL Haven was $5700 for 9 days Carib. We would not sail on NCL in the regular cabin. I consider myself a very loyal fan of X ( Elite Plus) and so far we never had a bad cruise. Sailing in November will be a check mark for us. We have no cruises booked with X. We did tried NCL Haven and loved it, so there are options.

No dress code on NCL. But, we only will sail in Haven.

We had our morning coffee delivered. And was promptly at 7:30. Like I said, our lady butler was excellent. We didn't ask for afternoon snacks, but we enjoyed fresh fruit and cheese every day.

I laughed at her comment that they listen to the customers...... Yes - we want a beach day where it might cost few hundred dollars to have a special chair. Yes- we want to pay for a steak and lobster in MDR. Yes - we want warm, not hot food. Yes - we don't want butler. Yes - we want pay for cookies. Yes - we want even more limited beverage variety. what else do we want? - higher prices, less product Somebody should have explained to her what made Celebrity preferred line in the past.

No, it was there. Just we found it was useful to have it in the room for tea or coffee, where Celebrity do not provide anything like that.

Trully, we didn't use our butler as much as some people do, but a few things we wanted, it was provided every day without reminder. We also liked to have Nespresso machine in our suite.
