Your post from 20 minutes ago is #8…last post was May 7 by PTC Dawg.  Sounds like I have also missed several posts.

Happy Birthday and Bon Voyage. 
Equinox is a beautiful ship 🚢 

I’ve got to say this has been an entertaining way to pass the afternoon…and fyi, no one here is on my “hit” list…this is the fun group!

DW could sleep through anything, but even she couldn't sleep through this. I've always been sensitive to things that go bump in the night.

 

We still have a partial family cruise booked on Silhouette next April so we're not dumping Celebrity totally.  But we mainly do the Caribbean and have started to have repeat itineraries.  Time to go farther afield, maybe.

Slightly off topic…we are B2B on Silhouette next April 4 and April 8.  Are either of those your family cruise?  Just wondering…..

Thanks for asking for this info.  I blocked someone months ago, but couldn’t remember how to do it.

For me, it’s the constant status mention, how many cruises they have taken and what a great job their butler does folding their undies. I certainly don’t begrudge them special attention…just don’t need to hear it in EVERY SINGLE POST.

Rant over. 😵‍💫

The warm chocolate chip cookie ala mode in the lawn club grill. 

Absolutely!!!

A few years ago, we were able to check in in Honolulu, leave our bags including carry on bags in our cabins and head out to explore.  That was shortly before Covid…not sure if the same rules apply now.

Thank you for bringing Silhouette back home( for the last time🙈).

I have a while to wait before we get on (30/09/23).

I’m curious why you say “for the last time.”

As long as I am in a pre-cruise hotel that has coin operated laundromat, I always try to get on the ship with clean clothes.  Doesn’t take much time the morning that I board and is my more economical!

hope weather and seas are calmer

 

we decided years ago that when  we cross the Atlantic, it will be on QM2  an ocean liner. Built for the high seas. (very interesting history)

 

Caught the  tail end up to Canada on her and she sailed truly smooth..

 

 

 

Good thing you didn’t choose this past weekend to sail on QM2…reports are both that cruise and the following cruise were canceled due to engine problems.  Many passengers were on their way to the port when they were advised of the cancellation.

Really a bad situation.

You didn’t quite finish it…. Should be ‘Y’all come back now, y’hear?’  EM

Famous line from “The Beverly Hillbillies” theme song.

Sunset Verandah is the way to go.  I had one on deck 7 on Reflection last year.  Amazing views!

Our favorite is Lawn Club Grill.  We have pre-booked for our first night next April.

Lucky mom to have such great daughters!  I have sailed Reflection a couple of times; most recently, my friends and I had connecting sunset verandahs.  We didn't use the connecting door in the cabin, but did ask the steward to open up the partition on the balconies...easy access and one giant balcony!

Enjoy; you will love Reflection!

We were in two Sunset Suites/corner S1’s on Apex for TA/b2b; our chairs/loungers were removed once on the Fall TA due to very rough seas.  They were returned the next morning.  The captain is very safety conscious on Apex.

Thanks!

Cautionary note. We are in an SV on this TA and the lounge chairs have been removed from the balconies even the corner AQ suite next to us. Reason given is "safety". Not sure if this is specific to Apex or not. Ability to negotiate an exception is questionable.

I have an SV booked on two upcoming Apex sailings…not TAs.  I am anxious to hear if the loungers will be replaced at the end of your crossing.  Thanks.

Bon Voyage part 2.  I’ll be watching the webcam 👋.

We’re you re-routed to Cancun rather than the scheduled stop in Cozumel?

Are you referring to Porthole verandas?  I don't see a regular veranda on the deck plans. 

Good question…I presumed hcat was referring to SVs! 

I’ve sailed on Edge both pre and post Covid.  While pre was 100% and post was about 35-40% capacity, both trips were excellent.  I didn’t let the extra passengers crowd me.

I think they mean "valuable" as they get lots of revenue from those "Valued" guests.

“Potato” / “Pototoe”…even those of us not in the retreat should be considered valued/valuable.  I agree it could have been worded better.  

Safe travels 🛫

I just received the same email.  I skimmed each section and am hoping someone here can explain in simple sentences!

Thanks Susan -   This will also be our first time on Apex.    We have have sailed Edge before but always fun to explore a new ship.     If you have any questions let me know and I will strive to find an answer.

Thanks Jim.  I have also sailed on Edge…twice in a SV.  I love, love, love Edge and expect the same with Apex.  It will also be my first solo cruise in a long time, but I expect the familiarity of the ship to be a comfort!  My roll call is very limited so I’ll need to make my own good time 😊.

Safe travels to you and Iain.
