Looking forward to following along as I'll be on Equinox for the April 1st sailing.

I booked a GTY veranda cabin on Equinox about 90 days out from the cruise. At the time of booking, no specific cabins were available for us to book. Within a week we were assigned a Deluxe Veranda within a few days of booking. We were pretty happy with the assignment given that the cabin has a slightly larger veranda.

Pretty sure the stairs are unique to the M-Class ships

I'm curious why you would avoid Beyond. I'm currently looking at cruises for Spring 2025 and was seriously considering itineraries on Beyond.

I'm curious how accurate the dining availability is on the website for specialty dining locations. We're sailing on the Equinox on April 1 and Murano is showing as only having availability at 8pm or 8:30pm on select nights. Does this availability seem accurate? I booked an 8pm time slot, but would very much like to dine earlier. What is the likelihood I'll be able to move this earlier once we get onboard?

FWIW... Once I logged in and saw that we had the Classic Beverage package and Basic Internet package, I was presented with options to upgrade both packages on the website. I was able to upgrade to the Premium Drink package for $9.99/day.

Thank you so much! Sounds like I need to send my TA an email.

I recently booked the April 1st, 10nt Southern Caribbean sailing on the Celebrity Equinox. This will be our second cruise, our first was an Alaskan cruise on HAL which we really enjoyed. I had a few questions I was hoping someone on here might be able to help with. When we booked with our TA, they indicated we'd receive the Classic Drink and Basic Internet packages (and it was included on our final invoice from the TA); however, I don't see this reflected on my account on the Celebrity website. Will it not be reflected on my online account or is it something that happens closer to our sail date? I'm interested in upgrading to the Premium Drink package, but when I login to my account on the website its not showing me this option. Is this something I have to purchase on the ship? We're planing to use this vacation to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday. Is there something special that I could do ahead of time to help celebrate? I thought about ordering a bottle of champagne for sail away or perhaps booking dinner at one of the specialty restaurants, but I'd love to hear other suggestions. We booked this cruise rather last minute and the only remaining dining time slot was the late seating (8:30pm). We were hoping to get this changed once on board. What is the likelihood that we will be able to get this changed? TIA for your help!
