Hello, I looked at the MDR menu and Blu for our upcoming cruise on the Equinox, 8 night cruise on October 14 and have a few questions if anybody can assist us: 1- The 7th evening is lobster night in the MDR, but on the app it states no lobster in Blu, are we allowed to ask for items on the MDR and get lobster during lobster night and or is lobster served on the menu in Blu just not shown on the app? 2- Does anybody know the MDR menu and Blu menu for the 8th night, it does not show any items for these evening dinners? We figuring out which evenings to go to Tuscan and Murano. 3- Is it true that the Sky observation lounge opens in late? Is the bar open from 12 noon to 3pm?

Hello we are used to the newer ships, Edge, Apex and the Beyond and have a few questions regarding the Equinox if you can help it be most appreciated! 1- We are in aqua class and others told me that we are able to order off the MDR menu but just want to clarify this is true as on the other ships we were not able to order anything on the MDR. 2- We are on the 8 night ABC cruise, our app to this day does not give us the menu for night 7 and 8, question, what night would they offer the lobster? 3- The appt shows no night offering the lobster, is the lobster night not available in Blu? 4- Our app does not show the MDR and Blu menus for night 7 and 8 does anybody have a copy of them as we trying to decide which evenings to dine in Tuscan Grill and Murano? 5- Is Murano and Tuscan worth going to?

Thank you and keep enjoying your cruise, some questions: We have to take a few work calls and zoom conference twice on our October 14th cruise and have premium do you feel we be able to get access to these features and on YouTube and our cameras at home? Others have written that the ship feels overcrowded do you feel this also? In the MDR are we able to get a table for 2 ok? How was Murano, hope you enjoyed it! What is your favorite bar and place to sit in the daytime and at night? Do they have a live band in the evenings and where will I find it if they do? What ports are you going to?

Dining in Blu, are you allowed to order items from the MDR such as onion soup, ceasar salad and the sirloin?

Agree totally, Blu items on menu extremely lacking and disappointing. I also feel the MDR is more diversified and much better.

Hello, we are elite also and in aqua for October 14th. How long was your cruise? On our app it does not show lobster on the Blu menu any evenings, are there items on the menu that are not shown on the app? I don't eat chicken (only can eat organic chicken), lamb and most seafood, would it be possible on these nights that I can ask for the steak that is on the MDR menu? I am glad to hear your service was outstanding as our experience on the Edge and Beyond in Blu was just on par. Were you able to order the ceasar salad or onion soup in Blu that are on the MDR menu's? Did you have to ask and did you get your sparkling wine? As far as the canapés, I really don't want or eat them as I am eating too much as it is on a cruise lol. My husband needs to be available for work via internet/calls, we have premium I do hope we won't have problems with the internet. What exactly did you have problems with? (cameras, texting, calls, emails, etc.)

Hello, I have a question, correct me if I am wrong, but blue chip casino/comp cruises are determined by the last cruise taken, therefore my question, if I take a 4/5 night cruise they will base my next offer on this cruise which means less days will give me less points in the casino, wouldn't that be stupid for me to take and is it best to just take a week long cruise to ensure I get maximum points to continue the blue chip deals? Or do they have a different type of calculation for blue chip offers when taking shorter cruises?

How was the internet?

Thank you, my other half has to dial in for some work conferences which are very important, glad you had no issues.

How is the internet? We upgraded to premium, my other half has to be available for work and go through emails and emailing how is it? When we were on the Beyond and the Edge it was not good and we had the premium package.

Hello, We will be on the Equinox, want to try a smaller ship as we been on the Apex, Edge and Beyond the past year and half. Does anybody know how we can contact the internet host on the Equinox? Appreciate your help and thank you.

I only spent one day in Blu on the two different ships because of the lack of items and the choices were not to our liking. A lot of pasta dishes are offered.

We were on the Beyond and the Edge the this year and Blu menu we were unable to ask for the MDR items like onion soup or ceasar salad, and the menu was very limited. The items were not appealing to us and unlike the MDR where you can get chicken/steak/salmon every night we were unable to get any of those items. Blu was very noisy in both cruises so we only dined one evening in Blu on each cruise and our service both times were so so, I have no idea why people rave about it as we found the MDR so much better in service, items offered and food tasting better. We are booked on the Equinox and will give it a try, but from what I hear on this class of ship we are allowed to ask for the "everyday items" on the MDR, if this is true it will work out perfectly for us, if not, we be back in the MDR. The spa stuff included in Aqua for us was useless a joke, because the treatments you still have to pay for but the only thing we did like about Aqua was the shower in these class of ships, the best shower in all our other 98 cruises we taken. I would take Aqua for the showers, but unsure if those showers are in the class of ship we are currently booked on.

Love the photos. Question, I have select dining, would I go to upper or lower MDR?

Hello and following along as we board next month. I was not impressed with Blu on the Beyond and the choices were very limited and we were not able to order off the MDR menu as we love ceasar salad, onion soup, etc., therefore we just ate a couple of times at the steakhouse and the remaining evenings at the MDR. I am so glad to hear we are able to order off the MDR menu! I have to try that champagne you enjoy. Following along.

Thank you so much!

I forgot about that.

Thank you so much it just says A3 but its not allowing me to "find on deck" yet.

Hello, We have a few more questions if you don't mind. Does anybody know where muster station A3 is at on the Equinox? We are in aqua class, on the beyond and the edge we loved the aqua class shower heads, does the Equinox have the same shower heads? We are trying to book Murano and Tuscan grill only they are all booked for next months cruise, if we board the ship and go to the restaurant do you feel there be any availability for us to make reservations to dine there? What does the sky lounge have as far as entertainment during the night time?

October 14th.

Hello, We have a few questions if you don't mind helping us with: 1- Our cabin 1535 is the bed by the balcony or bathroom 2- On the app the highly menu's seem to rotate, does anybody have the actual menu's given on the 8 night cruise so we can choose which night to dine at specialty restaurants 3- Does anybody have the entertainment/schedule for this 8 night cruise? 4- What if your favorite hang out spot and bar on this ship, we only been on the E class ships. 5- Which restaurant do you prefer Tuscan or Murano?

Thank you.

Hello, We are deciding which evenings to dine at Tuscan and Murano only the app is only giving us the main dining room menu's for 1-6 nights, they show no menu's for night 7 and 8. We will be on the Equinox next month to the ABC islands. Does anybody know what the last two night menu's are?

We just booked Celebrity Beyond and they are doing the necessary paperwork for us. Thank you everybody.

Its ok, Carnival will not work with us and the Jones Act does not apply to what we want to do. Yes, those dates are correct for 2023 but I am talking about 2024.
