Another time I had scissors they took. I'm down to nail clippers. I always have a small knife and a pair of scissors in the first aid kit in our checked bag. Never had a problem with those. I did have one of these confiscated by TSA once, so it goes in the checked bag now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we have enough time pre dinner since we have early seating but we'll make it work. Edited July 22 by BonTexasNY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling a lot of those are going to be cut off. There is a sticker that says not to lay it flat. Does not say anywhere not to recline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted July 22 #126207 Share Posted July 22 I know there are a few Celebrity cruisers here, so I'll try this question here first before venturing to the Celebrity boards. We're looking at taking our first Celebrity cruise out of Port Canaveral (easy drive) sometime this winter. The only ship out of Port Canaveral at that time is Equinox. We want to try the Retreat. I'm considering booking a suite guarantee...which I'm guessing will almost certainly end up putting us in an entry level Sky Suite. That saves us about $200 vs. booking a specific Sky Suite. Are there any "bad" Sky Suite locations such that's it's worth spending an extra $200 to get a specific cabin location? Seems like all regular Sky Suites are on deck 12. Anything else worth considering before booking something on Equinox? We already have our Captain's Club numbers which translates from our Royal D+ to Elite Plus. Ken...look for an email when you get back from your Utopia cruise. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted July 22 #126209 Share Posted July 22 3 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: My logic would be...these are brand new chairs so the bands must have been in place for shipping to keep the chairs in an upright position. They must have forgotten to remove the "shipping bands" when putting the chair on the balcony. I will therefore help them out by cutting the band off for them. 😁 I am going with that thought.

If the difference bw a Gty and non is $200, I would go with a known numbered cabin. Edited July 22 by Arzeena 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest gain for suite is Luminae which is the suite restaurant, lounge called the retreat is normally a relaxing place for drinks , plus you have access to concierge which does same stuff as rccl concierge. Outdoor retreat is nothing special unless you are on a E class . Luminae is far superior compared to CK. Edited July 22 by George C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Equinox 10 years ago and enjoyed the ship, especially the food, very much. I've looked at the deck plans now. All the Sky Suites (S1) are under the Oceanview Caffe, but since it closes at 9PM, I don't foresee problems. I, for one, prefer to pay a bit more and choose my location, preferably as close as possible to elevators and stairs. If you decide to choose, I'd go with 2124 (starboard, the closest to elevators and stairs). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted July 22 #126214 Share Posted July 22 I wouldn’t want a Sky Suite on Deck 12 as they are all under the Oceanview Cafe…but perhaps noise doesn’t bother you. I personally would pay extra to be able to select my cabin but that’s subjective. The Equinox did not receive the full Retreat amenities during her dry dock conversion as due to the accent at the Freeport dock she had to go to Cadiz for the work and that took extra time away from the schedule. So Equinox’s Retreat Deck has no pool or hot tub and in fact no access except stairs so it’s not handicap accessible. The Retreat Lounge on Equinox is the repurposed Michael’s Club on Deck 5. Nice room but no ocean views. Luminae and a larger cabin are the main benefits. I’m sure Ken can advise you on the best area to book. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oceanview may close the main dinner stations at 9 but salad, pizza and pasta are available until much later. Main issue is the noise from the cleaning crews (moving chairs etc on non carpeted areas) and the noise from the carts setting up and taking down. Extremely early in the morning and late at night. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only cruise on S class was a free upgrade to a corner aft sky suite under cafe and we had no negative issues, that got us to book suites from then on.

helen haywood Posted July 22 #126218 Share Posted July 22 Noise is very subjective. I’m an extremely light sleeper…and I spend a lot of time in my cabin or balcony. Others like yourself might not have an issue at all! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
