I’m looking for a couple of rooms for Feb ‘24. On the booking sites, Hyatt Place shows Sold Out. Would this be because they do a high volume of their business through Value Trips?

Well, you are if you paid for the A2 and received your A1 cabin at the lower price.

I’ve been wondering the same.

This is distressing.

I’m always amazed at some of the low minimum bid offers I’ve seen. I quote yours because I just checked out the MoveUp offers on my upcoming cruise. Note that I’m already booked in a Sunset Sky Suite and that my itinerary is only 6 vs your 7 days. Ship: Equinox Length of Cruise: 6 days Cruise Sail Date: Oct 8, 2023 Date email offer received: I checked via the Celebrity website Captain’s Club Tier: Elite Booked through: TA Current Cabin: SS (corner aft Sky Suite) Bid? Yes/No: NO, Canceled Bid (too high!) Bidding Offer Details: AquaClass SS: From $450 pp Celebrity Suite: From $700 pp Royal Suite: From $1700 pp Penthouse Suite: From $6000 pp

It could happen with me, too! We could not be any more different!

October 8! I’m traveling with my sister on her first and most likely last cruise. We are celebrating our birthdays, which are one day apart - her 60th, so I thought maybe I’d place a lowball bid. I may cancel my bid as we are currently in a corner aft SS. Only size medium pajamas? Im too busty for that nonsense.

Well, that’s disappointing. I just placed a bid for a RS on the Equinox.

If the offer is coming from Blue Chip Club and you’re likely to be spending a lot of time playing, vaping is definitely an issue.

Thanks for spreading the word on this. I normally walk past the Gelateria without even glancing at it. It does draw my attention when they’re cooking waffle cones. 🤤

Are the poles metal? I’m wondering if a couple of magnets with hooks could be used to anchor a string of fairy lights wrapped around the pole. That would turn it into more of an architectural feature rather than a hindrance. Maybe I’ll pack some and find out.

I can’t wait to read more!

I had posed this question on a social media forum in addition to here at Cruise Critic. Would you be ok with me posting your photo there?

I just checked, and it’s $17 in the US and $20 in the UK.

Is the current Premium price point up to $15 or is it up to $17? I see this on the Luminae menu for Equinox.

Thank you so much for this! I hope it’s well-attended and they continue this lunch option. 🏆

My cruise is still too far off to see events in the daily planner. If anyone sees it listed I’d still appreciate any menu and cost details.

I’ve just been browsing the current Equinox sailing on the Celebrity app and I see a Taste of Equinox lunch held in Tuscan Grille. It’s supposed to feature dishes from TH, Murano, and Sushi on 5. Has anyone done this? I’m wondering what the menu is like, and the cost associated with it.

Per Celebrity:

I was under the impression that when there were signs posted there was no demarcation of vaping vs no vaping. And now that signage has been removed and there’s only word of mouth and a notice in the daily bulletin I don’t remember there being a particular area designated vaping allowed. I could be wrong. After some searching, I found this photo by @Georgia_Peaches that’s posted in a topic that’s been closed. I hope you don’t mind me reposting!

I am having my TA call to inquire about this possibility tomorrow. I wonder if they’ll just say no. I’ve done it in the past, but can’t remember how I went about it. We downgraded from Aqua Class to a corner FV on the Infinity once (at an additional cost, but we had an overnight in San Francisco and decided to go for it). And once we were able to just call and ask to switch from our corner aft Sky Suite to something more mid-ship for mobility reasons and we were moved to a Celebrity Suite because a price drop had brought the CS to the same price we’d paid for our S1.

I was on Millennium in April and the maitre’d in Luminae (Fernando?) said no to Blu menu but the MDR menu was open to us. It was kind of off-putting because though I was in a Sky Suite, my son and his spouse were in an Aqua Sky Suite. I suppose we could have asked about getting a reservation in Blu.

Hello, I was just looking at Hurtigruten cruises and was wondering how your cruise went. I’d love some general feedback.

Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean is repurposing a former jazz club on Wonder of the Seas to a non-smoking non-vaping casino space. Celebrity is definitely going in the wrong direction.
