My October repo on the Summit just got switched to Grand Turk…

We are sailing on the Equinox in Aquaclass in July. Would love to know if there are foot stools on the balcony. When we sailed on her in the same stateroom they were there and we really enjoyed having them. I know there has been much debate over  “safety” regarding foot stools and loungers and wondering what the latest developments were… I know there is a thread about loungers and very mixed messages depending who you ask. If they are not available I was contemplating purchasing inflatable ones but that is very annoying and I one more thing to pack…I know the Equinox is finishing up dry dock…so time will tell..but any feedback on other S ships?

thx

Unless it has been chartered.

I hope not…it is a British aisles cruise on the Eclipse that I am booked on  and I was looking to see how much it would be if I upgraded…

Nothing comes close…to their website today…

trying to price a cruise for next year….and every category is coming up as no longer available…and I don’t really think that is the case…

Now see?  My head went immediately to cocktail making with the create and pour event.  Never would have thought about it involving art.  Sounds interesting, though.  But you didn't really like it?  Did you walk away with a piece of "art"?  

That’s what I originally thought…

I’m not that artistic and my painting was an epic fail but a lot of people really enjoyed it…

I believe the create and pour event was with the resident artist on board …they teach you to make a picture and you are served wine….

we went once…I like the music and mixology better…

Looking forward to following along..have a wonderful trip.

not sailing again until July so it will be great to read about your voyages🚢

We just returned from a cruise aboard the Solstice and our Aqua Class balcony did have two footstools.

Good to hear…I hope they are on the Equinox this summer in Aqua Class!!!

Following along…heading on the Equinox this July..

Bon Voyage

Have a wonderful cruise 🚢 

I didn’t realize they had the webinar already…the deadline to submit questions was today?

This is very disappointing…I just don’t get it!!!!we loved sitting on our veranda with our feet up on the Equinox when we were in Aquaclass…in January on the 
Beyond we were in a sky suite and had to use the tiny table to put our feet on….

Following along…have a fabulous cruise…

Going through withdrawal…got off the Beyond on 1/8 and our next cruise is on the Equinox on 7/2…the weather in New York this week has been so dreary …the Caribbean sounds great about now…. Have not been on the Reflection….will be nice to see your review…I have been eyeing some exciting deals on the Reflection if only I could convince my husband…

I just had my TA book a cruise this morning from a book later I had..I just went to see if I was able to upgrade my drink package but it was not listed in my order history…it is listed on my confirmation…I guess I will give it a day or two before I have my TA call to clarify the situation..

That’s another disappointing change..I did 2 book later deposits in October…when I did them they told me it was refundable…I don’t think I still have the flyer…I hope it is not an issue if I don’t attach it to a booking and want my money back 

For those looking to try the retreat on the Ascent…in the exciting deal e-mail that came today the March 17th sailing a suite guarantee is around $5500…that I think is as good a deal as your going to get…

I was on the Beyond in a sky suite for the 1/2 sailing…those points show in my listings but not in my total…the power up points from last month are doing the same thing…

I guess we missed it by a week…we were in the retreat last week on the Beyond and was told we had to pay extra for Decoy…ugh!!!

I had inquired about two tours with Spain Day tours for our July cruise on the Celebrity Equinox. I was interested in a small group tour to Seville and a tour of Lisbon. I heard back and they asked me for more information. I sent it but then never got any kind of confirmation. I had other cruises before this one so I have not reached back out. Do they usually send a confirmation and if so when. Any insight would be great …

Alert! I am currently on the Beyond (boarded yesterday) and I can confirm that all wines over $17 are charged the price difference plus a 20% gratuity. I checked with the Luminae sommelier and had an extensive conversation with the very sweet Retreat Lounge bartender. She said that 2 cruises ago, they were told that they must charge the price difference. She HAS my favorite white (Mer Soleil). I have the PDP, and if I want MER Soleil, I pay $2.40 per glass.

We were on the Beyond last week…and it was the same…

Drinking cheap wine and eating lays potato chips sounds like what I do on my deck in the summer, not in an expensive suite. 

That is why we skipped that and went straight to dinner…our sommelier was able to find us wines we enjoyed that was included in the premium package…

We just got off the Beyond and we barely spent any time in the lounge before dinner because the wine selection was so poor in terms of what didn’t have an up charge …plus the potato chips now seem like they are lays not homemade like before… it’s a shame because we used to enjoy that each evening…

Just got off the Beyond in the retreat…we had previously sailed several times on the Edge and Apex in sky suites… we all felt it seemed so much bigger and didn’t feel as exclusive…Luminae felt very big  compared to the Edge and Apex  and huge versus the last time we were on the Summit…in addition chair hogs were out in full force…we came out after breakfast to get chairs…and I would say 90% of chairs had property on them with about 10% actually having people…I spoke with others later in the day in the pool and they had the same experience…we still had a great cruise but it was a different feeling…

In sky suite 10146 now and no problem so far…

 Yes, it has.  

 

 I made that comment in response to the comment about no "up charges in the Retreat."  I consider Luminae a part of the Retreat experience which is why I was questioning the response from the Celebrity executive. 
 

 

My sister in law just was told that Decoy is an up charge in the retreat lounge.so much for no up charges here…

we are on the Beyond
