Just back from Equinox in March our 5th time on it. Love Celebrity food and service was amazing and great entertainment. All lines have there plus and minus.
Got Volendam booked Oct 2025 45 day NYC to Europe.
I find both HAL and Celebrity a cut above NCL and Carnival but get what you pay for.
Was cheap to upgrade beverage package on Celebrity.

We are on a B2B on the Magic in Nov. Last night of first cruise would they know if i got booze on board for second leg and not have to buy a second beverage package?
Bob
We are on that cruise also. Booked flights and hotel months ago. Got a best western in nola for $400 a night staying two nights and staying three nights in Seattle.
Win it back in casino on ship or at ceasers in Nola LOL
bob
WE booked in 2022 and doing the 19 nite b2b!
So got the gratuities ,
Worst for gratuities is NCL now $20 pp a day.
I realize crew work hard .
We havent but I hear lots of passengers removing the gratuities now.
Bob
Oh i didnt realize was two prices. We are on Equinox next week and got wifi drinks and gratuities a 10 nite huge balcony room under $4000 seemed like a good deal.

All cruiselines not as formal as years ago. The women seem to want to dress up more than the men.
See lots of black pants and golf shirts now vs the tux days and the suit and blazer.Most MDR no shorts at night
Bob
I think they want you to sign in hopes you add an additional tip. From my understanding if you do the server doesnt get it all HALL takes 10% from it.
Even if you are comp a specialty meal they still give you a slip to sign.

Just upgraded our March Equinox black friday $6.99 pp well worth it . I love my Bailys coffees and double crown royals and gingerale at the lawn club. My wife enjoys the better teas at Cafe Bianco and better wines.
