Thanks Felliw Cruisers

We are in standard Cabin non suite non concierge will we be charged extra for anytime Dining and if we are switched will balance of prepaid tips be refunded or can we adjust pet service actually be adjusted for non anytime dining?

Thanks

Jon P

I have never tried Anytime Dining on Celebrity. First does prepaid tips cost more than suggested tips of 12.95 pp a day. We have 3 people in balcony and saw charge of 345 pp? This must be wrong . also wait listed for second seating and ship not full. We are existing cruises I do not like wait lists any suggestions

Thanks in Advance tried searching first

Hello,

If price drops after final payment do we get obc? Or refund

Thanks

Jon P

Thanks everybody think I will book it through ship easier

Hello,

Has anybody done the Americas cup excursion on St Martin and if so can you provide contact information or link. Must this be booked only through Celebrity?

Thanks Jon P

We were in 6144 on the Summit last year, and it was by far the best CC room we have ever had. 2 reg chairs on the balcony, and also 2 lounge chairs. Really nice. And although the room is only one foot wider, it sure does make a big difference. Did you make the right choice? Absolutely. No question. Also, because of the location, you will likely get suburb stateroom service, and by talking to the butlers always around that area, they will let you select goodies from their suite cart. And they are really good.

Thanks Disney Folks ! Yes 1 foot in width makes a difference! I had Balcony and was less then 6 inches on the Way to Bathroom from Fold out Couch.

Also thanks for telling me about Butlers for Suites. I will definitely be extra nice to Butlers!!

Thanks

Jon P:)

Thanks for all your suggestions how to get from Long Island to port.:)

Hello,

Thanks,

Jon P:)

Scott,

I went on my First x cruise for New Years. Between attitude from Bartenders and barman in Dining Room due to package I was not Impressed. Honestly food was better but service on Royal Blew Celebrity away. Don't get me started on our Host he gave me such attitude that I never went to club. Royal Ships are more fun with better service. I love the Liberty Class. Scott first time on cruise ever that we felt no need to say goodbye to Dining room staff beyond their tip. ON Royal we all take pics last night. Don't rule out Royal you might be suprised. BTW Service in Baccio not as good as Promenade Cafe on Royal. Happy cruising!!:)

Heather,

I really enjoyed your review and am impressed on your rugged excursions. If you go to Labadee which is the island stop for Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity, you guys would probably enjoy the Zip Line, and Jet Skiing. I just went on Celebrity Equinox for New Years Cruise and had great time. Thanks Again Jon P:)

Well I should have taken a cue from the Weather on this cruise, that it was going to be a rough Winter in NY. This cruise the last sea day was not so nice, as opposed to my other cruises when that day was Beautiful. I mention my pool deck story as an aside to the Weather that we have had this Winter in NY. As I said yesterday please post any questions you have for me here and I will answer them for you. "The Ship" The Equinox is a stunning ship and already had had a dry dock. I found the cabins to be in Perfect shape, and the Interior of my cabin and ship was sparkling and new like a Car less then a year old. Not sure of launch date, and Drydock, but Ship is completely modern. I found the Martini Bar to be great not just for the Martinis, but because of the showmanship of the Bartenders pouring about six drinks at once perfectly. The Iced Bar top was a great way to keep your Drink Cold and crisp. Also the Molecular Bar was nicely decorated, and had a bar chef preparing the Drinks. I prefer old school Drinks as opposed to the cutting edge recipes, foams, and unique flavors of the drinks featured there. The Martini Bar made me a Perfect Cosmopolitan, and Sour Apple Martini. Even with the Drink card in these bars the Service level was excellent. I left extra tips in these two bars as I was treated very well, and the drinks tasted good.

"The Decor" I found the Decoration of the Equinox to be more posh then that of the RCI Freedom Class. I did prefer the 3 level dining room on The Freedom of the seas as opposed to the 2 level dining room on Celebrity. I do believe that each cruise line has both pluses and minuses. Will continue again and thanks for reading. lance32 aka Jon:)

Hello Again,

Please excuse if this review is hard to follow its my first written review. Pre Trip: ISP/Long Island to FLL/Florida. Travelled same day due too work. Was a little nervous as I prefer to travel day in advance. ,was relieved that flight was on time. Took Cab with my Besties to Port. Taxi cost less then Go Shuttle , $20 for 3 of us. As you probably know very circular route to go next door to Port, Thanks to Road Designer. Boarded Quickly had Priority Boarding due to my status and friends status on Royal. my friend is Diamond and I Will be Diamond after my next cruise.

THE LOVE BOAT Greeting: We really enjoyed the Welcome aboard Greetings and Champagne. For me Champagne always adds a Sparkle to my Day. Rooms were ready by 1 pm.

Cabin: Was in 7249 Veranda Cabin. I found the cabin to be smaller than Royal especially with the Width of the Cabin. As we had 3 people I slept on Couch which was covered with mattress. In Future on Celebrity will get Junior or Sky Suite. I found that the cabin was perfect for 2 people but too tight for 3 people. I found Decor nice in cabin, and veranda smaller then on Royal. This was my First Cruise on Celebrity, and I have been on Freedom of sea, Liberty of the Seas, and the Serande. I discovered Cruising in 2007 and was on LOS maiden season. For the most part I liked Celebrity, but missed having the Promenade on Freedom Class. More to follow wiped out from Shovelling snow Please post any questions will try to answer. Hope Your not on East Coast, or South while reading this rough winter!. TBC Thanks from Jon:):):)

I found the Service bad and I was not always at a busy bar. I used to be a Bartender

and am very kind to those that work in the Service Industry. One day I met the Owners of a Very well known, and famous restaurant in NYC and he and his wife said that the service was bad too.:):):)

I am going to finish review this weekend. Snow Shoveling is taking all my Time.:)

Hello fellow CC members. I went on a Special 11 night cruise to celebrate the Big 50 on 12/30/13. Actual Birthday was July 14 th

Booking: As it was my big 50 members of my entourage suggested on stepping up to Celebrity this time. I had been on 6 cruises on Royal and loved this Cruiseline. We Booked way in advance to get the 123 Promotion, and we chose the Classic Liquor Package. After we boarded we did upgrade to premium Liquor Package for about 10$ daily. The advantage of this upgrade is that it allows most Drinks at Martini Bar. "WARNING' I will caution you that only aspect of this package which is big negative for me was Bartenders Attitude when they realized that they would not get automatic gratuity added to each drink purchased without package. In the past I found the Treatment by the Bar staff to be outstanding and First Class. I did not like the attitude and Third class service that i received when they saw I had Package. Note One Bartender from Denmark gave us great service forgot his name, he worked Pool Deck and other venues too. BUT!!! i must admit that we all got our moneys worth with package!!! My seapass account was very small, and under 300$$. In the Following days I will be writing extremely detailed Review from Pre trip to Post trip. Please feel free to post any questions about my Cruise on The Celebrity Equinox.:) Jon here btw

Actually its a repositioning cruise to Carribean.:)

I am looking at a cruise on The Celebrity Summit out of Port Liberty 6 days. I went on the Equinox this past December. I would love some input from my Fellow Cruise Critic Experts. Thanks
