Wow! Sounds great! Yes. Long flights... not so great. We chose an 18 stopover in Singapore to see some sights, take a nap and freshen up before the next leg to Rome. Have a wonderful time on your river cruise & then in the Baltics! 🙂

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply Gracie115! Your answer about the Dining Package reinforces what I have seen previously, so thanks for that. Concierge Class doesn't come any dining options, sadly. I had forgotten about the "Evening Chic" format so that will help with packing choices...Tuxedos are heavy! The last time we were on the Equinox was 2017 so we're excited to hear that she is having a spruce-up before we board. I'll post a review when we get home. Thanks again Gracie115!

Hi luv2camp04. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your feedback! 🙂 I'd forgotten that they had moved to "Evening Chic" from "Formal." Glad I won't have to lug my penguin suit...that weighs a ton! I will take your advice & call Celebrity about the upgrade. I had hope to avoid calling them, as my last experience was terrible. I spent half a day on hold and being bounced around from department to department...Aus/NZ to the US...and then got disconnected right when I was about to get an answer to my question about Celebrity Air. YES. We're on 4th June, too for the second half of our cruise. I'll check out the "Roll Call" section...wasn't sure what that was, so thanks for the heads up!

Kia ora kiwichick62! Thanks very much for your reply. We got a great deal for our back-to-back cruise through Vacations2go but never saw any Sales on beverage packages, etc. 5% discount was what was available on the Celebrity website, which seems a little tight...even though it was promoted as a "Sale." As far as the Specialty Dining, the last time we were on the Equinox, we had a number included in our cruise fare...not anymore, apparently... AND now, it's more expensive. I'll see what they say when I call them. We're from Roto'Vegas and looking forward to escaping the early Winter!

Thanks very much for taking the time to give me your feedback WrittenOnYourHeart.

My Wife & I are finally returning to big ships after 5 years and we're really looking forward to it. Things have changed with Celebrity since we last sailed on the Equinox in the Caribbean and I was hoping for some guidance, if possible, please? Is it best to purchase the upgrade from Classic to Premium Beverage Package on the website OR call? The website only offered 5% discount and I had read that by calling, you may get a better deal with a Captains Club discount, instead. Are Specialty Dining Packages better to purchase once on board? I recall crew selling them at a reduced rate the last time we sailed. Will there be Formal Nights? We're on board for 19 nights so it would be great to know how many to pack for. Do they still do Theme Nights? "White Night" "80s Night" etc? Mandatory Pre-boarding Testing and Screening : What documentation will they require? Proof of vaccination? RAT-test? Thanks very much for your time and I look forward to any advice you are willing to share.
