We have a sailing on Summit coming up next month.  We have some credit to use, and I had planned to purchase the wine by-the-bottle package (3 or 5 bottles at a set price) that I had seen on previous cruises on the Equinox.  They are not listed as an option on my cruise planner.  Have they eliminated them or are they just not available on the Summit?

General comments:

Cruise showed very full but I noticed a Penthouse and Royal suite open up very recently.  Received email indicating that I had been upgraded.  

We love the Deck 12 Aft Corner Sky Suites!  We are not sun worshipers, so we like that the deck above overhangs our balcony keeping it in the shade most of the time.  Deck 12 is also more private as the lower decks are viewable from above.  

We canceled our previous excursion and booked the Chef's Market based on all of the good reviews.  We will let you know how it turns out, but not till Jan. 2023.  

Thanks!

My wife and I are "foodies" and are curious if anyone has experience with the Chef's Market Experience excursions?  The specific one we are looking at is in St. Lucia.  We are wondering if anyone has experience with any of these excursions and whether they thought it was worth the cost.   

Thanks!

I should have clarified better.  I made a reservation for one of my kids and it does not show up on their planner, just on mine.  

We have a cruise coming up in December and are lucky enough to have our kids joining us in separate cabins.  We have linked our reservations in the Cruise Planner so that we can book specialty Dinning, some drinks and spa treatments for them.  When I booked a spa treatment, it shows up in my Cruise Planner, but not in theirs.  I would like the reservation to show up in their planner, so they know to block out that time.  
I know there have been a bunch of complaints about the website, I am just wondering if someone else has handled this situation.  

Do I need to call Celebrity about this?

Thanks!

General Comments Bid just over minimum amount for both CS and RS.  RS was almost immediately listed as expired.  CS accepted.  It is a good one on the back side of the hump, #1615.

Has anyone taken their own travel mug to Cafe al Bacio and had them put a take out coffee order in it?  I thought I might save the paper cup from a land fill and my travel mug is easier to handle (not as hot).  

Thanks for all the responses!  
I offered to pay for Ocean View Cabins on the Equinox for the kids and gave them the option to get Veranda cabins if they wanted to pay for the difference in cost, but they opted to go with the Ocean View.   They are both adult kids, one with his wife.  
I know we will be dinning separately, but we will probably do specialty dinning several times and will pay for them to do so. We will probably also get the Alcove for a day so we can all enjoy that together. 
Good to know about getting extra card keys to our cabin.  That will help.  

To celebrate an anniversary, we have booked an upper suite for the two of us and have also paid for several non-suite cabins for our kids.  We have a bunch of on board credit with our suite.  Can we book excursions or specialty dinning for the kids using our credit since they have none?
We also want them to be able to use the living room of our suite when ever they want to.  Can we allow their key cards or phone apps to access to our cabin? 

Thanks!  

Wine-O is correct on the Cigar smoking area.  When the ship is underway, the wind will claim most of your cigar unless you can shield it well.  The best way to enjoy it is to either get back early (or stay on board) during port calls.  I found it fairly empty during those times.

The website seems to have the Post Revolution deck plans up for Equinox.
