Equinox June 23 2018 Suite

Thanks for great review, we also loved celebrity suite restaurant and club. But missed the suite seating area by pool which we had on rccl. Also our cruise was on summit and there sky suite is about 50 sq ft smaller. Cruising in old days was different I cruised both home lines and Hal in 1970’s

We sailed Equinox about a month ago, and we noticed the same issues on sea days with finding chairs near the pool. The chair hogs were out in full effect.

Thanks for the tip about binoculars above the safe in closet. But I would rather bring my own than fear contracting some eye disease, same with not participating in the silent disco and the head phones. We do not feel we are missing out. We take the attitude "sour grapes". Attitude is everything in life.

Another important aspect to choosing a potential cruise is checking the Center for Disease Control website for Vessel Sanitation Program. All vessels that hit a US port are subject. The Equinox as of 2/5/18 scored a remarkable 99.

We always head straight for the nearest bar for 30 mins or so after Lifeboat drill, by which time the crowds have gone.

Do you have a link?

Problem is so have many others and the bars are jammed with people waiting for the BTs to show up because they are still involved with the drill.

If in a suite and the drill is in MC doesn’t help either because the place is packed.

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

WOW, great insight on if the boat drill is in or near the Michaels Club, we would still be out of luck, because the concierge would not yet be on duty in MC and they might keep it locked, as well. We will find out next year, unless our experience on board the MSC this December proves a better experience with our luggage arriving at our suite when we do. Then there is no rush because we can then unpack before boat drill.

Michael's Club is one of the venues for the drill along with Murano, Qsine, Blu and Tuscan. I think we have mostly been in Tuscan. Trick is to get a seat near the door of where your muster station is so that you are out quickly.

Thank you again. You have the best advice on the Cruise Critic Boards.

Sorry....as I posted above, your luggage won’t necessarily be any faster than any other cruise line....

Thanks for the report.
