Hello, We will be on the Equinox, want to try a smaller ship as we been on the Apex, Edge and Beyond the past year and half. Does anybody know how we can contact the internet host on the Equinox? Appreciate your help and thank you.

I only spent one day in Blu on the two different ships because of the lack of items and the choices were not to our liking. A lot of pasta dishes are offered.

We were on the Beyond and the Edge the this year and Blu menu we were unable to ask for the MDR items like onion soup or ceasar salad, and the menu was very limited. The items were not appealing to us and unlike the MDR where you can get chicken/steak/salmon every night we were unable to get any of those items. Blu was very noisy in both cruises so we only dined one evening in Blu on each cruise and our service both times were so so, I have no idea why people rave about it as we found the MDR so much better in service, items offered and food tasting better. We are booked on the Equinox and will give it a try, but from what I hear on this class of ship we are allowed to ask for the "everyday items" on the MDR, if this is true it will work out perfectly for us, if not, we be back in the MDR. The spa stuff included in Aqua for us was useless a joke, because the treatments you still have to pay for but the only thing we did like about Aqua was the shower in these class of ships, the best shower in all our other 98 cruises we taken. I would take Aqua for the showers, but unsure if those showers are in the class of ship we are currently booked on.

Love the photos. Question, I have select dining, would I go to upper or lower MDR?

Hello and following along as we board next month. I was not impressed with Blu on the Beyond and the choices were very limited and we were not able to order off the MDR menu as we love ceasar salad, onion soup, etc., therefore we just ate a couple of times at the steakhouse and the remaining evenings at the MDR. I am so glad to hear we are able to order off the MDR menu! I have to try that champagne you enjoy. Following along.

Thank you so much!

I forgot about that.

Thank you so much it just says A3 but its not allowing me to "find on deck" yet.

Hello, We have a few more questions if you don't mind. Does anybody know where muster station A3 is at on the Equinox? We are in aqua class, on the beyond and the edge we loved the aqua class shower heads, does the Equinox have the same shower heads? We are trying to book Murano and Tuscan grill only they are all booked for next months cruise, if we board the ship and go to the restaurant do you feel there be any availability for us to make reservations to dine there? What does the sky lounge have as far as entertainment during the night time?

October 14th.

Hello, We have a few questions if you don't mind helping us with: 1- Our cabin 1535 is the bed by the balcony or bathroom 2- On the app the highly menu's seem to rotate, does anybody have the actual menu's given on the 8 night cruise so we can choose which night to dine at specialty restaurants 3- Does anybody have the entertainment/schedule for this 8 night cruise? 4- What if your favorite hang out spot and bar on this ship, we only been on the E class ships. 5- Which restaurant do you prefer Tuscan or Murano?

Thank you.

Hello, We are deciding which evenings to dine at Tuscan and Murano only the app is only giving us the main dining room menu's for 1-6 nights, they show no menu's for night 7 and 8. We will be on the Equinox next month to the ABC islands. Does anybody know what the last two night menu's are?

We just booked Celebrity Beyond and they are doing the necessary paperwork for us. Thank you everybody.

Its ok, Carnival will not work with us and the Jones Act does not apply to what we want to do. Yes, those dates are correct for 2023 but I am talking about 2024.

Stand by flight due to not taking the private charter flight the company has him on. We really want to go to Bonaire and Curacao, we just got back from Aruba as we go twice a year there but want to see the other islands and there are only three cruises that go there, two in July which we prefer not to go as there are more children on ships in July, then there is this one August cruise which is the last to cruise to the ABC islands. We don't mind paying for the entire cruise and missing 3 nights, we have no choice anyways. We can travel to miami on boarding day which we will not make the cruise as the flights arrive around 3pm and not enough time to get to the ship, we can jump a plane easily to Aruba from Miami and pick up the ship in Aruba. It is a 8 night cruise so picking it up in Aruba we remain to have 5 nights on the ship. We are booked on another Celebrity cruise this October and got off another Celebrity in March, we are avid cruisers so its ok to miss some days on this particular cruise. We don't mind paying and missing days, its our only choice.

Intentionally due to needing to be at corporate mid year re-org conference.

He has to fly american and the first flight out of NY to Miami gets him in at 2:50pm not enough time to get to the ship.

Hello, We want to book our next years August trip only the cruise we want docks in Aruba and sails pt. carnival on August 10th. My husband has a corporate mid year reorganization conference that he must attend on august 5-9 in NY and the company has him flying standby (I probably go with him so ensure we get on the cruise together). Question, if he does not make the flight to Pt. Canaveral is he allowed to catch the ship on the first port of call which happens to be in Aruba on the fourth day of the cruise? Has anybody missed their embarkation and flown to a port to catch their cruise? If so, any suggestions/advice you can give us? This is the only sailing that goes to the ABC islands in August, 2024. Thank you.

Yes, I had a bad waiter after hearing you and others were allowed, we were told a straight no, which made us feel Blu was nothing special. Hopefully on this next cruise on the Equinox we have a good service and they meet our expectations and I will rave about them instead of putting Blu down as we do not care for many of the offerings on the menu there.

I guess I had a bad waiter who lied to me. That is very unfortunate, because of that it left a bad taste in my mouth to go back to Blu.

Hello, On the Edge and Beyond we were in aqua class and were not able to order starters such as caesars salad/onion soup in Blu, I believe because the dining room was in a distance. We will be on the Equinox and wondering if we are allowed to order items from the MDR in Blu on this ship?

I called and with special permission they allow this. I have no problem in paying for an entire cruise, with the premium drink and wi fi package and not cruising all the says. I was thinking of boarding in Aruba on her fourth day and finishing the 8 night cruise.

I have a destination wedding to go and want to cruise the same time as I need to use vacation time.

Hello, We love Aruba and fly there twice a year and do take cruises yearly also. We do not have direct flights from northern Florida to Aruba and need to connect. We are wondering if its allowed that we take a cruise, get off in Aruba port and stay there for a week then go back on another cruise a week later, in other words board it in Aruba then go back home to Florida to avoid flying? Has anybody done this, if so, are they any rules/regulations we need to know about?
