Rare Pennstatedj Posted August 19, 2021 #504 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks for the great review. This is one of the best I have ever seen on CC. We love the Equinox and it has always been one the most friendly ships that X has. Thanks again. Especially enjoyed the cabana review. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted August 19, 2021 #506 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) So I noticed on our app for Eq on Oct 29, the menus for the MDR have changed. Day 6 used to be the night for warm water lobster tail, but has changed to red snapper, roast turkey, and Cordon Bleu. I checked out the app for tomorrow night on this Aug 15 cruise...same thing. I didn't check all the days, but on ours I did--nary a lobster tail to be found. Does anyone know if Eq has changed this for a reason? @aring75, would you mind seeing if this is true tomorrow and, if you go there, what happened? We will need to change to Murano, apparently, for DW's lobster fix! (Yes, everyone, I know they are different lobsters but we hadn't wanted to pay $100 for the difference!) Thank you!

My husband loves to get his salt fix by eating chips of any variety. Celebrity does not have chips anywhere we have found in our cruising history! So now he brings a few small bags with him to get him through 😂 I've seen them before in the Buffet at the sandwich station. Sometimes in a big bowl with tongs other times in bags. They also sell them in the gift shop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the traditional lobster night in the MDR is the second Evening Chic night but when I looked in the app, I can confirm what you found for our Aug 27th cruise as well. We are booked on the second night in Murano but the menu shows a "warm water" lobster tail, which are just terrible compared to cold water ones, and IMHO not worth wasting our $ on in Murano.

We'll probably go with the chateaubriand in Murano - depending, of course, on Mark and Angela's experience tonight. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our back up is the 5 spice crusted venison, both of these entrees are not easily found where we live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv4cruises Posted August 19, 2021 #515 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hi all, I am enjoying reading this thread in anticipation of our 8/27 Equinox Cruise. I have been on this ship many times and it is one of my favorites. I posted this question on other threads and have only had one affirmation. Has Celebrity accepted the CVS Rapid Antigen test at the pier? Many are posting that they are getting them. Celebrity verbally stated they are accepting them, but the fact that Celebrity’s letter specifies “antigen tests” and not rapid antigen tests worries me. We are flying in from California so don’t have much wiggle room. Have you or any cruisers cleared boarding with the rapid antigen test? Thank you!

Inevitably I'm asked by a fellow passenger(s) where did I get them. 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A look at the nearly empty Ensemble Lounge. We have been here after dinner and could hardly find a seat. Feels so quiet! Definitely like the look of "The Last Voyage." Assuming the same will be available on Reflection in November. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aring75 Posted August 19, 2021 Author #521 Share Posted August 19, 2021 WiFi is out on the ship right now. And my cellular service is not great. Will be back a little later for today’s shore excursion review. Just letting you know I’m still here. 😊 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
