[patchit]

Did you stop in San Juan? If so where did you dock? Downtown old SAN Juan or at the airport dock

She's doing Western Caribbean--no stop in San Juan.

I'm also interested in what you did in Cozumel and Grand Cayman when you have time. Thanks! Lisa

Thanks for posting the dailies in a readable manner. This will be our first X cruise and it's nice to get something of a heads-up about on-board activities.

We just got off Equinox when you got aboard - Saturday 1/27 - your pictures make me want to go back.

 

World Class Bar had best cocktails, although at Premium pkg prices, try the Strawberry Fields, not as sweet as it looks. Enjoy

 

 

 

I have had that one - it was great - Sailors Crush is currently our #1 drink

Hey CLJ(sorry I haven’t seen your name posted anywhere)!

I know it’s a big ask but any chance you could snap a picture of the slush menu/prices next time you are there? Loving your review so far! :)

 

 

 

Here you go - drinking a Berry Basil Daiquiri right now. Also have tried the mint cookie and sweet tart - all the drinks from there have been good so far.

Hello Thank you for the review, my family and I will be on March 24th, I do have a question. On the daily sheets you posted I did not see a Slot Tournament, was there one.

 

 

Not sure - I don’t gamble

Oh wow ! Thanks so much for taking the time on your holiday to snap that :)

 

We have the classic drinks package but those look so good I’ll have to pay the difference!

So far the daily cocktail specials all seem to be within the CBP limit - maybe one of these will make an appearance.

Thank you for taking the time to post this detailed review. I'm eating it up. We'll be sailing on Celebrity for the first time this June. Can't wait to experience the Equinox for ourselves.

 

I thought I'd read elsewhere that the Hot Glass show was going away but the pics of the signs you posted give the impression that maybe this is just a renovation. What are you hearing on board?

Thanks for sharing.

I also tied the pork belly. The outside was crispy - it was good - but a bit odd.

Main course was my lamb and mom’s veal - both tender and cooked well - but mom actually preferred her filet tonight.

The best part of any meal is coming up - dessert!

Compliments of the chef - macaroons are my favorite - poor mom didn’t have a chance - I snatched on to it right away.

Tomorrow is our last full day - it will be sad when I can no longer give Ram/Igor my card and they give me a drink.

Have you seen what the future cruise offer is? Trying to see if I should wait to book our next cruise now or on the ship??

Sun!!! Finally warm and not windy - just in time for our last day. Got an email from American about weather in Chicago about a potential winter storm - reality is looming.

I have not heard anything for the most part - one person heard it was a new company coming in with stuff to sell so the area would bring in income.

 

Here is what the area looked like this morning.

Gastro Bar menus - at least mixed drinks and beer.

I know Stella is $10 and this guy was $10 - so over the classic. I know I personally have gotten my money out of the premium drink package.

Lunch food from the aqua spa cafe - I didn’t see the chicken/salmon on the menu or set out or anything cooking.

Mom is at the pool - Beyond the Podium round 2 - with where the screen is may want to get here early to get in the middle.

 

This morning I did the navigation one with the staff captain - he is moving to the Edge next as her Staff Captain. Mom shopped - there was some sale and it was mass chaos - I should have gotten a picture!

We've never seen a picture of the Gastropub beer menu - many thanks! I showed this to my DH and now he's even more excited to leave in a week! Question - the premium beverage package says it includes "craft and artisan beers" and doesn't indicate any maximum price - does that mean all of those beers are included?? Some of them are very expensive!

[clj7181]

My family is enjoying this one - I am NOT a beach person. It’s fine for sunrise/sunset but not my thing but scheduled one for mom.

 

For our Cozumel day we did Nachicocom (more to come) and I went in about knee deep to see how warm/cold the water was for about 3-4 minutes - in that time I got stung by a Jelly Fish. They had no vinegar or anything for a sting (odd since they had a kitchen) - the lady asked if I wanted to go to the hospital - I was like - no - just an annoying sting.

 

Here is this morning about 50 hours later and it still hurts.

Can you feel the love from my sister...

They told me $13 max and the difference over that.
