My wife is consoling me by saying if I would have clicked purchase last night I might very well see the same sold out message. Maybe. BUT MAYBE NOT! Lol.

Ah well sob. I saw this last night and thought too good to true and procrastinated. Ready to do it tonight and it's sold out. Damn it.

Hire a car service or take an Uber. Although I guess it depends on how many people you are to begin with. I've been avoiding shuttle services because we are travelling in a group of three or four so why pay $30 each when we can get car service or Uber for much less. And not have to wait on other people or multiple stops. Way more convenient.

Curious if there's anywhere still tracking current cases because I can't find any. I am onboard and contracted covid on the Dec 22 holiday cruise.

Really? X did Coco Cay stops? Coco Cay Rocks. It is a great experience. Been there on Royal once.

"bumped into you at the silent disco" LOL!

Hi, we cruised out of and returned to San Juan I think in 2018 on Royal and I could see your issues with the lines and such for luggage and customs... An amazing tip I picked up on cruise critic in the Royal forum, was to simply pay for a porter once you get down to the luggage area. They have separate lines that the porters use for customs and you won't wait more than ten minutes to hit customs and your out. I don't remember how much the porter cost, not much, but I damn sure know it was worth every penny to get out quickly and not have to suffer what looked like hours long lines. Meanwhile I'm going back to the Celebrity form. Cheers!

In that case book the Icon on Royal next year. The itinerary is why we booked the Celebrity cruise. 11 days and has six ports. Five of which we've never been to. Ultimate Southern Caribbean. Our ass's on a beach in Antigua for Christmas and at sea for New Years Eve. Party on!

Are you landing and going straight to a cruise? Stupid question on second thought lol. I can't do that. In fact this time we're spending two days in FT. Lauderdale before our cruise. I'm relaxing...

Enjoyed your review. Thank You Pink Tulip! We have only cruised on Royal three times and are going on Celebrity Equinox in December. From what I have seen and read it is an older class mid size ship that is loved for the attention you get from the staff. Looking at the cruise lines you have cruised on, it would seem to me Celebrity is your preferred line. We've been on Oasis, Jewel and Symphony on Royal. Truth be told we probably had the most fun on our first cruise which was Oasis but Jewel was a fun trip and Symphony exceeded that. I get that we won't get water slides, zip lines, flo riders and rock walls that we never used anyway but they were always good entertainment. Speaking of which, that is one concern I have switching to Celebrity. Comedy and broadway shows, and the aqua shows are all GREAT fun on Royal. I have reservations about what we're about to experience on Celebrity Equinox. That said. we have no kids and while I can't say we were ever bothered by kids on Royal, I'm damn sure I won't miss them either lol! Thanks again for your review. Makes me wonder if I would do Edge next or stay on Equinox. Ultimately, teh basic bar package is included. I'll be alright 🙂

I have always done the dollar deal. Tips included yea, but leave the guy an extra buck each drink so he gets it. Love your servers. Tip well for good service. The gratuities included thing I think is a bit of a scam. So cash to your bartender is always desirable. If you don't have it, you don't have it and just write a $1 tip on the receipt. They will always appreciate it. And remember you as well. Do it!

Because? Getting older? Need less excitement onboard? Entertainment? We have done three RC cruises and are about to do our first Celebrity on Equinox in December. I am concerned that the shows wont match anything on RC and I mean from Comedy, Ice, Broadway and Aqua shows. We're 56 and 68 and no kids but we have loved our experiences on Royal.

Sorry for the delayed response. C'mon man. Montreal smoked meat and poutine is fine cuisine! Even here in Buffalo. I would die if I could get it on a cruise. People rave about the roast beef sandwiches on Royal and while they're not beef on weck, they are pretty decent. But man if I could get a Montreal smoked meat sammy and poutine on a ship I think that would be reason enough to book again. All good brother. Born in Ontario, spent many nights in Quebec and living in Buffalo for the last 25 + years. Please keep wearing your Josh Allen shirt for games. He's freaking amazing! When you find one let me know please. I will book it! Poutine for me is the simple version. Fries, beef gravy and curds. That's it. No frills. No proteins no nothing extra. Simple is simply the best to me.

Everybody here. On Equinox over Christmas. Just where exactly can I get this fine cuisine? especially with poutine!

I like Jamica. It's great for a band to be from Jamica I think!

Does Celebrity Equinox have buckets of beer available by room service? TIA.
