Therefore, don't be surprised if deadlines are extended and/or temporary waivers issued. Also, when things like this happen, European non-EU ports make it known they're open for business without the EU requirements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked in 2025: May to Iceland and October transatlantic. Frankly if Silhouette is anything to go by it makes little difference in ordinary cabins. Walls lighter, carpets, curtains and beds replaced. No changes to the electrics - still no USB points or power by the beds. Fitted furniture unchanged. No change in the bathroom we had the same cabin before and after. Before we were told shower doors would be replaced to fix broken runners after we were told couldn’t be replaced as there were no spare parts. Broken drawer also not changed. Cellar Masters changed to Craft Local - much brighter and basically now a sports bar. Most of the money seems to have been spent on the Suites and Suite Facilities plus the extra cabins.

It was still Michael’s Club on the Connie when I sailed in a suite. It was so much nicer and ‘ship like’ than the grey and white retreat lounge on the refurbished ships or the Edge class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good mattress and chairs that are comfy. We'll be in AQuaclass so I'm sure BLU will have its signature look! I was just checking my cruise history and haven't sailed Eclipse since 2010. Yikes. I'm pretty sure they have updated the beds (speculation) but all the non-revolutionized ships they have the original wood paneling and original more comfortable furniture and none of the Kelly Kitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South America over 1100 Fjords in Norway of which 2 (two) are listed as World Heritage ones. Frankly X has never had much of a Fjord's programme if you really want to see the Fjords look at Hurtigruten's Classic 12 night Roundtrip voyage from Bergen and you will see the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NMTraveller Posted July 27 #36 Share Posted July 27 The revolutionized ships are very gray. I prefer more colorful decor myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity Summit — March 23, 2019 — Completed! Celebrity Silhouette — February 14, 2020 — Completed! Celebrity Equinox — June 1, 2019 — Completed! But had an accident in shipyard and did not get the full Revolution ----they didn't get the Retreat Sun Deck On the ships that did not get the Revolution the rooms have not been updated and most still have the old dark wooded Michael's Club. I think I read they upgraded Infinity Michael's Club to Retreat on last dry dock. Am I misremembering - I thought Equinox got a Sun Deck, but it doesn't have a bar/restaurant or a pool or whirlpool? I don't usually use the Sun Deck much so I'm not sure if my memory is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got off EC on Sunday, Found UNREVOLUTIONIZED ship to be in excellent condition inside and out. S1 room spotless clean and comfortable including bed. Confirmed she will be "revolutionized" to some degree after Apr transatlantic Will be sad to see another "old world" Michel's Club gone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Lion Posted July 30 #41 Share Posted July 30 What does “partial revolutionize” mean for Equinox? Apart from the Retreat features that were not completed, what else was or wasn’t done for the average passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on her to Iceland almost straight after and again on the October TA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
