Loving all the photos and your commentary. Sounds like you have to be in fairly good physical shape to go there to partake of all the activities. Keep enjoying, I am learning a lot! Thank you!

Following along! Sounds like a fantastic trip so far!

Congrats on the upgrade! Enjoy your cruise!

Enjoy your cruise!

I believe it will depend on if it’s closed loop or not and originating and ending port.

I’m enjoying your pictures and commentary! Keep on enjoying your cruise!

Enjoyed reading your live blog! Safe travels home!

Took the survey. I was glad to see you could write in some comments.

What will they think of next?

Enjoy your last night abroad! Safe travels home and that’s for taking us along on the cruise!

We were on Equinox end of September to October 8th. We were in the RS and our butler was outstanding! The best we ever had! But we have been in RS before with no visible butler so I understand how the other guest is frustrated. Enjoy your cruise!

Following along! Enjoy your cruise!

I usually get the credit within a day or so.

We sailed with her when she was Captain on Equinox. We also met Bug Naked and I held him! I think I was more excited about meeting Bug than I was Captain Kate! She was very nice. I have not met a captain I have not liked!

Never been to Japan and I find your pictures and commentary captivating! Thank you! Enjoy your cruise, I am leaning a lot!

So excited for your upcoming cruise! Dubai is on my bucket list! sorry about your brother and praying he gets the help he needs and gets better soon.

Glad you had excellent wifi. We were on Deck 11 midship in a RS. Do not recall seeing any wifi extender in room. My husband would have seen it and said something.

Correct! Although on our cruise March, 2022 we did not receive any of the special chocolates on chic night in RS.

Aft is the best!

We do it all the time and never notice a difference in service.

We were on Equinox B2B 9/24 to 10/8. Ian was good. Most times he seemed in a hurry. I don’t think we presented any concerns to him. Gazelle helped us with dining reservations when they were not made by shoreside. She seemed more visible than Ian and was always smiling and helping someone. We did get the special chocolates on chic night, maybe because we were in a RS.

We had premium a few weeks ago on Equinox and it was just ok. Could not use it on the balcony and I could not watch a live webinar.

We are usually in Retreat and gratuities have always been included. We tip extra at end of cruise if we receive great service. Usually stateroom attendant, butler, waiter and assistant waiter. Sometimes the sommelier if they are very good. Once in a while someone else who has gone above and beyond normal job duties. I always give them a handwritten thank you note with cash. I never give anything at the start of cruise as I consider that a bribe. Now that gratuities are not included in AI we will still tip those who have been exceptional but I don’t think it will be as much. We will see.

Just got off Equinox on Sunday. There might have been a few minor changes on Luminae menu to lower cost food but nothing noticeable. What we ate was very good. Also we were on a B2B, a 6 night and then a 8 night. The first 6 nights of the 8 night the food was same as first cruise. And the same lunch was repeated at least 3 times.

We opt in every cruise and never notice any difference to the care of the room.
