ABC Equinox Itins

[laumicmah]

Never cruised Celebrity before but we are interested in the 10 day ABC cruise on Equinox. But are wanting Sept 2021. When will they release those itins? And will they def do that 10 day itin (ABC plus Key West and Grand Cayman) in Sept? Looking to switch out our NCL Hawaii for this cruise instead. See the 9 day ABC without Key West is more prevalent and we could do that one. So will there be either option definitely in Sept 2021?

No one knows what the new itineraries will be.  They will be released in November and December, so you will just have to wait until then to find out what is being offered.

Nov/Dec isn't that far off so I can wait for then. Thanks!

When we were booking for 2021 on board the Equinox 7/27, the told us Summer Caribbean 2021 will be opening up at the end of November.

They ran the ABC 10 night itinerary last year and have it scheduled to sail this year and in 2020 so there's a good possibility they will also do it in 2021 but we'll only know for sure when they release the new itinerary schedule for Caribbean 2021 in November or December.  Only a few months off.  This is actually a Caribbean itinerary we really enjoy.  Key West, Aruba, and Curacao are some of our favorite ports.

We have done that itinerary twice and LOVED it, but be aware that it’s hurricane season and our cruise was affected both years due to a hurricane. Very nerve wracking!

We also love the ABC itineraries - have done them several times.  No guarantee they will continue.  Several years ago they used to do a lovely 14 night itinerary that went there, but they discontinued those for some reason.  Hopefully the 10/11 night itineraries will continue as they are very popular.

Thanks everyone. Hoping they offer this cruise for Sept 2021.

Actually went ahead and booked the 3/2021 Reflection ABC cruise. Looks like a good one!

We were on the 11 night Reflection ABC cruise this past April. It sailed to Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Aruba (1-1/2 days), Curacao and Bonaire. Had a wonderful time on this itinerary.

Same itin as I booked. What cabin did you have? We got one of the obstructed balconies on deck 6 and wonder how they are.

You may have 2 ABC options.  Although she is an older ship, but still a favorite among many CC-ers, Constellation is doing 11 night ABC itineraries out of Tampa (alternates with 10 night E Carib sailings).  You may want to look at that as well when the 2021/22 sailings are released late this year.  She undergoes a Revolution makeover during her drydock in May 2020 so I would think she would be quite attractive afterward.

We are booked on the Reflection with the same itinerary for April next year. Not done the ABC islands before.

We really enjoyed the 14 night itinerary but we have evolved into 10/11 night B2B cruises as a replacement.  I guess I showed Celebrity who's the boss.

Very nice. We were just on Reflection for the first time in Jan. She's a great ship.
