Most of the excursions for our 3/4/23 cruise didn't show up until about a month prior to the cruise date, not just for Half Moon Cay but for many of the ports. I'm sure they will show up eventually.

Has anyone been to Half Moon Cay and reserved a cabana with a butler since the start up after the pandemic? All the reviews I can find are pre-pandemic and I'm wondering if the services have changed. Any recent experiences? Thanks for the input!

We are going on our 1st Celebrity cruise in an RS cabin on the Equinox at the end of September. I've been in contact with the shoreside concierge a few times already and Phillip has been a wonder. I sent him a note mentioning that the price of shore excursions had dropped considerably since we booked them and asked if we should cancel and rebook or if he could work some magic. I must have caught him at just the right time because about 10 minutes later I got a reply saying he had added an OBC for the difference in pricing. I'm a trust but verify kind of person and yes, there was the OBC on our account. Other cruise lines we've been on have forms you can complete for staff and crew who go above and beyond. Does Celebrity do the same and do you know if there is a way to do the same for shoreside staff?

He did send the menu for La Petite Chef but did not indicate which nights it would be available. Both options look very good! EQ La Petite Chef.pdf

We are in our first RS next month and I've heard from the onshore concierge already. He sent menus for the speciality restaurants and said he can make reservations for whatever date and time we would like. He also sent lists of beers, wines and bottles of liquor you can choose from for the room. Suite guests can also eat at Blu, the Aqua Class restaurant, but that has to be coordinated with the maitre d' at Luminae once onboard. You can also tell them what you would like stocked in the mini fridge from a list of what's available. He also said he can reserve date and time for the Peloton bike in the gym, and you don't need clip on shoes to ride the ship bikes. I am beyond excited for this cruise!

Has anyone had experience with the photo package options post Covid shut down? We are cruising in September on the Equinox and would like to pre-book a photo package. I'm seeing mixed reviews about options for getting the pictures taken, timeliness of delivery of the digital download and whether or not there are prints included. We are specifically interested in the $50 Unlimited Digital Photo Package with Prints. Any input from more recent cruises would be appreciated.
