Following along. We are on the Equinox at the end of October. The "new" website discourages me from browsing to find a new cruise to book. Tell them to bring the itinerary maps back to the first page along with the prices for the cabin categories. I used to love browsing but now it's too much effort.

Hello, Jean!

I always smile when i see your screen name pop up on a thread i am following. As you know, we are joining you once again on the Equinox in October. Toni and i are looking forward to seeing you again!

Positive -

I was amazed by this today. Check-In

  • You can now select your cruise instead of having to input the Ship, Date and Reservation Number
  • They have finally fixed some of my previous gripes
    • When you select a passenger it copies the information from either your reservation or Profile
    • It was able to pull up all information, passport numbers, emergency contact numbers etc
    • You don't need to fill in the repetitive same information for your partner.

Hopefully the changes to the CheckIn process is a sign of good things to come.

 

That was not my experience when checking in for my upcoming Summit cruise. Had to re-enter passport info, etc. Interestingly, the site remembered my previous address, but not my current one, even though my profile is up to date. So I had to change that as well.

The day is beautiful. Hopefully we can get away from the website discussion; I hope. We hit the pool bar then sunset bar with Milton. We grabbed lunch at the FREE mast bar haha. We signed up for the cigars and rum event tonight. Milton helped with that. I've got to say he is awesome.

For the Survey:

 

Please fix the cruise search function so we can see all cabins available. Why do I have to go to other internet sites to see all cabins in the date range(s) and cabin category I am looking at booking? Drives me nuts!!

Thank you so much for another wonderful review! I love your instagram, even the non cruise photos although I feel slightly stalkerish - I'm a foodie too so I live vicariously through them. I always make sure to leave room at Murano for the cheese trolley even if it is just the tiniest bits.

Enjoying the play by play. DH and I are on Equinox for the first time in November. This thread is whetting my appetite. Just an additional tidbit on eating Asparagus...while perfectly proper to eat stalks with fingers, it is only proper if the stalks are firm and un-sauced.

Have to ask. Did you go see "Ellysium" on the first night and what is your honest opinion? We saw it last year. That's all I'm going to say at this point. :)

 

 

 

We did not see Elysium last night but we've seen it several times before. We planned to go and just started talking to people and lost track of time. However, I love the show. It's definitely my favorite as far as Celebrity production shows go and absolutely beautiful from stage design to costumes.

Today at 4pm we went to the cigar and rum event at Sunset Bar. The price was $35 pp which included three different rums and refills plus a cigar. The rum was very good, especially the young white rum which paired so well with the cigar. We sat at a circular table with 7 people and had wonderful conversation. One gentleman worked as a trucker hauling very hazardous materials in northern Canada and he had incredible stories. What a treat. Milton of course took care of us and made sure we didn't need or want for anything.

 

In total it appeared that 15/16 people signed up for the rum and cigar tasting.

We are back in our room now. Tonight is evening chic. We have 8:30 reservations in Tuscan and of course will start our night at the Martini bar.

 

Tomorrow is the Q & A at 11am with Lisa so I am looking forward to that. The show tonight is December 63 which is a throwback Frankie Valli type show. Though the times are 8:15 and 10:15. If we are out of dinner early I think we will see the shoe. Otherwise we will maybe hit the casino.

 

Something new I saw, which I'll photograph tomorrow, is Whisky House. It looks to be a whisky bar / room?? by the lawn that has a large selection of whisky. Not sure if this is just for purchase or an actual bar but I will check it out and report.

 

The weather today is fantastic. The winds are a bit strong but I think we're sailing into them so you don't feel any movement in the ship. Very calm sailing.

Thank you so much for the pictures and info about the cigar and rum event..,looks totally cool....

 

Never saw that advertised before. Hope it's on Infinity...our next cruise, I will ask Sunset bar waiters..,DH will enjoy that...looks more civilized and fun than sitting with the cigarette smokers or in a row along the grass area...

 

Really appreciate it!

We saw December 63 on the Silhouette this past December, if you like Frankie Vallie, you'll love them. In fact, when we got home, we found out they would be performing locally in January. We paid $16 per ticket and had perfect seats. They did 2 1/2 hours, with an intermission, and really had the place rockin. If they come back again, we'll be there!
