Sorry to hear things have been disappointing.

Hello everyone, Can recent / current Cruisers onboard Equinox tell us what they have noticed ( if anything ) with regard to the work completed on the recent dry dock visit of the ship 🚢 ? Thanks

I believe Equinox has recently had a dry dock visit. I am not sure what improvements/ maintenance was completed. I am partial to that ship , she has a wonderful crew. The other aspect is the promenade outdoor deck which is covered , this gives us folks who wish to stroll / walk outside and take in some ocean air as well priceless views is another feature of the S class ships that I truly appreciate. The edge class has a walking / jogging track on the top decks , I just don’t feel it is as enjoyable. Have a great cruise whichever you decide. 👍

My first cruise was 28 years ago. 4 night Bahamas cruise on RCCL Sovereign of the Seas. I did not know what to expect, if I would like it or not. Here I am now with 25 + cruises under my belt, guess I liked it.

Go with the smaller private companies. Better experience.

Hello Ms. Hodges Bethge, In spite of my complaints Celebrity is usually my first choice when shopping for a cruise. I will admit a huge part of the cruise for my wife and I is the food. It has been our experience since the Covid recovery that the baked goods on Celebrity look Wonderful but have little or no taste. Will you and the upper management at Celebrity make the decision to go back to the quality ingredients so your bakers can go back to serving the best baked goods at sea that once was a Celebrity tradition ? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Think about it , casino mentality, no clocks , no windows , fewer places to enjoy being outdoors while at sea. Focus on herding passengers to venues to spend more $$$$. I get it , cruise lines need to make a profit, but contrary to famous movie quote , greed is not good.

Hope you and your friend have a great cruise 🚢.

The convenience factor of not having to sign and get a receipt has been wiped out by the high prices currently being charged for the drink package for me.

There comes a price point when people just stop buying. These specialty restaurants have reached that point.

Forgive me for living in the past. I have a bad habit of doing that. In the years prior to these drink packages , you could not walk 30 feet on any cruise ship without a beverage server asking you if you would like something to drink. Now that many folks have chosen to pay for the drink package + gratuity in advance ( at prices that are far from discounted ) you have to line up , wait and hope you can be served in a reasonable amount of time.They already have your money ( and plenty of it ) so the reality is they are in no hurry for you to get your drink. I would like to see folks stop buying these drink packages and go ala carte. Maybe then the whole situation would be more enjoyable for the passengers , after all , they are paying for their cruise vacation and deserve maximum enjoyment for their cruise.

So glad you enjoyed your cruise despite AA losing your luggage.

This whole drink package thing is becoming more of a scam every day.

You have many cruise lines that cater to a younger crowd. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL , Virgin, etc.

Maybe they are trying to get established for a piece of that market.

The ultra deluxe is a very large cabin, designed for families. actually has 2 bedrooms and a living room. ,

Have a Great Birthday Cruise 🚢 Try to enjoy all the things on the ship you don’t usually have or do at home. Food , drinks , music etc….. Celebrate the whole cruise….. All The Best 🍻🍨🍀🤩🎂🎈🎉

I have a Hilton Amex. Unfortunately I don’t see this offer for my card. ☹️

Cheers mate. 🍻 Thanks

Received an email from X this am advertising savings on drink packages , wifi , ect...... Signed into my account to see the prices for my upcoming cruise and nothing but a constant X appearing and disappearing .

Call me a dinosaur but I enjoy walking on the outer promenade deck. The e class ships do not have this .

I am no computer wizard , but I usually can find my way. This spreadsheet is impossible for me to navigate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

For the record, I have purchased travel insurance through Steve’s insurance agency, he and his staff were most helpful with any and all questions, as well as assistance with a detail or two that needed to be corrected. Thankfully we did not need to file any claims , but we felt very confident that Steve and his staff would be there to assist with that should the need arise.

To your point , I totally agree, extortion.
