Awh I can't find the X on the Athens picture it's driving me mad.

Security was very long (3hrs) at Miami airport when we arrived on 21 August 2022 and our pre arranged transport (aranged through cruise company) had not waited for us and left us stranded. We took a Yellow Cab taxi to Fort Laurderale Hilton Embassy Suites which cost $80. We were given an estimate before the journey and a printed receipt at the end. This maybe another option for you.

We have been looking at this hotel for a two night pre cruise stay next November. Do you know if they do Miami Airport transfers and how much was the transfer to the cruise port? I am currently organising our 2nd cruise for November 2023 and trying to save some ££ as travelling from Ireland and our first cruise was organised through Celebrity and the cost of transfers and Hotel was very very expensive.

just back from caribbean on Equinox and on classic package - Jameson was on this package, but had to ask for it.

I see from the bar menus on the app that there does not seem to be a great choice of cocktails for $9, most are over this price. Can you ask the bar tender to adjust the cocktail to suit the classic package?

Thank you all for your quick responses. We fly to Miami this Saturday and board the Equinox on Sunday - so excited.

Hi we have the All Included - tips/wifi/drinks - However, I have just been told that we need to tip the cabin steward on the last day of our cruise. Is this always done, I thought they would have been included in the tips in our All Included package. I would like to know if it is and how much do you leave? Thanks everyone

We got the rooms upgraded. We have now 2 deluxe balcony rooms. Woo Hoo

We just got confirmation of our upgrade to Deluxe veranda. Rooms and next to each other, which is even better.

Oh, one of my bids said expired and it won't let me manipulate the other which says pending.

Yea I check each day and also check if there are balcony rooms available - 2 days would give me time to print the ammended tags - hopefully I will need to lol. 🙄

I am due to sail Sunday 21st August and have put in a (low) bid for an upgrade from inside to balcony. I have been checking the availablity and currently the ship has plenty of balcony rooms available. My bid still says 'pending'. My question is: Cruisers, from your experience what is the latest that Celebrity inform you that your bid has been accepted/declined? I am only asking as we are travelling from Friday night and will have no way to print out new luggage tags with a new room number etc.

Really enjoying reading your review - giving us great ideas for our cruise in two weeks time.

Hi we are going on the Equinox August 21st - first ever cruise. Our preffered tipple is Irish whiskey, do they have any on board? They mention Strongbow cider - is this the apple only or do they have the flavoured variety? Reading this report is making us so excited...😁

Thank you, I am just trying to stroke all T's and dot all I's before we go.

Hi we are crusing on the 21st Aug on the Equinox and are booked into the Embassy Suites as a package with Celebrity. A couple of questions: Has anyone stayed here as part of the Celebrity Cruise package? On the hotels website it states free breakfast, however, our Celebrity Hotel Voucher states Hotel room, tax and porterage only - will we be given the opportunity to have some breakfast (and pay extra) or should we leave the hotel and try and find somewhere to have a quick bite and a coffee? This is our first time cruising and first time in Fort Lauderdale.

Thanks, I will take your advice and upgrade him when we board as when I tried to telephone I was kept waiting for over an hour.

HI can I upgrade my son's wifi. We currently have the always included - Classic Drinks, Gratuities and Basic Wifi, but it would be much better if my son had the upgrade premium wifi with the classic drinks etc. Will I be charged the full amount or just the difference between the basic and premium?

thanks

Where and what test did you get? My family and I are going on our 1st cruise in late August - Celebrity Equinox - Caribbean - and I am worried about getting the correct test, I don't want us landing in the US and then been told at the Ships boarding that our test results are not accepted. I have heard of some using the 'at home test' but these are not supervised and reading the Celebrity guidelines they say that all tests must be supervised.

Ship: Equinox Length of Cruise: 8 night Cruise Sail Date: 21 August 2022 Date email offer received: 22 June 2022 Captain’s Club Tier: First time on Celebrity Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: Direct Current Cabin: inside Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Veranda Bid Offer: £80/PP (minimum £80/PP) Notification Date: ? Accepted / Rejected: Pending General Comments- Initially we were going to pass, but also bid on Family (min £165/PP). Bib for 2 Balcony staterooms, have currently 2 inside rooms. Waiting to hear on bids now. There seems to be loads of balcony rooms available so hoping we get 2 of them.

Ok, I will try and contact Celebrity by email to get clarification - strange I can't put a bid in for the two rooms even when I sign in as my Son!!

Hi we have just put in a cheeky bid (lowest £) on a couple or staterooms, hoping 🤞we get a veranda stateroom on our sailing on 21st August. I am linked to another room - my children's (early 20's) room - however, when I go to put a bid in for their room it keeps telling me I have already put a bid in. Do any of you know if the bid will be for the 2 rooms i.e. bid on both staterooms for veranda? I know I could have booked two veranda staterooms when booking the cruise, but trying to save some ££. What are your experiences on bidding for room upgrades on Celebrity? Also, we are travelling on the 21st August, do you think the ship will be fully booked? and do you have any advise fsor us?

Thank you😊

Some great advise - thank you everone. One more short questions - If we pay the difference for a more expensive drink will we be charge extra gratitudes? 🙂
