I believe that some things have been covered in the “cruise news” I read on Apple news. I seem to remember the charge for the second lobster being featured in a new story. And I think there have been other things there as well.

Currently on EQ and it isn’t on the kids menu but I will ask tonight at dinner if it is still available

That was never the case. AFAIK. I am afraid you were misled, but it all came out OK, I take it. Aqua class is limited to two passengers per state room. But there have been many single parents who brought one child with him over the years.

Luggage Valet is not offered on Celebrity except in Seattle

No I think it’s a very different principle. It had to be paid by every passenger no matter the nationality, for one thing.

While Cruise Critic is a wonderful site, postings here can’t fix things like this. The only way to get it fixed is to give immediate feedback while you are on the ship, to a supervisor, who can work with the crew members who may not be doing their jobs effectively. It may require reassigning a crew member, or giving them additional training. Coming home and writing about it isn’t going to make any difference to the crew’s behavior on the ship. We all love to vent, but it won’t effect any change to write about it here.

Yes, It had to be paid by Each Passenger on their credit card. Not refundable. So if the ship didn’t make it to that port for some reason, tough. There was lots of discussion about it back in October when the repositioning cruise from Boston to Florida stopped there. It wasn’t even a multi day stop, and a lot of passengers didn’t see the point of going to Shore for so few hours, especially when the ferry wasn’t even running.

M and S class ships only, AFAIK

I’m guessing that he didn’t fully understand the issue. Changing up who sleeps in which room is easy. But reassigning one guest into Aqua from an inside room, and the other from the inside room to Aqua isn’t going to work.

A prime example is Bermuda. A lot of people became very angry at Bermuda’s imposition of a $40 fee for every passenger visiting there, whether you got off the ship or not. I know several who had vowed never to visit Bermuda in the future. Is it enough to make a difference, that is will the numbers show? I doubt it. There are several transatlantic each year. Some visit Bermuda, some don’t. I’ll be choosing the one that doesn’t. But it’s a drop in the bucket and I don’t think it’ll make a wicked of difference to anyone but me that I am making that choice. There are plenty of Caribbean cruises that don’t visit Grand Cayman. Will there be enough people mad at Grand Cayman to show in any sort of statistical fashion? I don’t think so

No you cannot switch the names once you are on board. You can switch which cabin you sleep in, that is you can get a key which will access a cabin other than the one you were assigned to, but it won’t be anything other than a door key. Your idea to get the parents together in Aqua and the kids not, just won’t work. Sorry.

Charters can set their own prices

Strange, I am on the equinox now and I have had no problem the entire trip. As a matter fact I was just commenting to someone how good the Internet had been. As always, YMMV

I can just imagine the hue and cry from people who really wanted to go to Grand Cayman if they would get an announcement like this “a few days ago, Grand Cayman changed their liquor laws so we cannot serve liquor on the ship while there except from one bar. Therefore our call on Grand Cayman tomorrow will be canceled” 😵‍💫

Here are instructions from equinox January 2023

I have said many times and will continue to say, the app is unreliable.

The app is unreliable. Never depend on it.

Yes no and maybe. Unfortunately it is not a simple question. What is the itinerary?

None on Equinox January 2023. The rep was clueless😵‍💫

I would agree. I think the poster was confused.

I do “go green” on every cruise and I have never had that happen.

OBC not FCC

Procedures vary a bit from port to port but here is a recent info sheet for Fort Lauderdale

I think you are too late for this promotion. We received it on November 10 and here are the terms and conditions.I think you are too late for this promotion. We received it on November 10 and here are the terms and conditions.
