I kept my phone on airplane mode and manually went into settings to change the time zone to Bermuda on the night that it changed.  Once I did that, my Apple Watch automatically changed and once I did a sync of my FitBit, it also changed.  On the way back to NY, I manually changed it back.

Not likely, according to posted policy, all travelers are cancelled.

Two sisters in our cruise group were sharing a cabin but didn’t live in the same state.  One tested positive and had to cancel.  The other one sailed with us.  We got home last night.

I am now wondering where those with service animals are supposed to take their dogs to relieve themselves? A cruise ship seems like a horrible place for a pup.

A friend of mine has a hearing dog and has raised service dogs for the disabled for many years.  She also likes to cruise.  The ships she has been on have special potty areas for service dogs.  She also brings a small baby pool for her balcony in case they can’t get to the designated area.  Her dogs are extremely well trained.  There is a major difference between a well trained service dog and someone’s emotional support animal.

That's probably because you are in a suite. 

I was in Concierge #1120 a few weeks ago and had the lounge chair on the balcony.  It was large angled balcony, so that may have made a difference.

I was on the 6/29 sailing in cabin 1120 on deck 10.  Wi-Fi was horrible and worse during the second half of the trip.  There were many times that we couldn’t use it at all in the cabin.  I was traveling with a 16 year old who was vlogging her trip and to her, it felt like the world was coming to an end.  She left the room often in search of better reception.  We were right around the corner from the library.

I was on the same cruise and agree with your assessment of the ship and the cruise.  I love that the air doesn’t smell of stale smoke.  Celebrity has been our favorite cruise line for over 25 years and, although we sail other lines for our family reunion cruises, my husband and I sail on Celebrity whenever we can.  Thank you for posting your review.  Equinox is a great ship.

Just off of the Equinox, saw something I never have on any other ship or cruise line. One evening in the buffet the chefs were cleaning and filleting fish on the buffet line in front of everyone.  They looked like very fresh fish. Handed the fillets to the Cook, he grilled and also deep fried. I had grilled and my husband had the deep fried. Both had excellent texture and taste. The size of the fish were about 16 inches to a large 24 inches or so. 

Also on Equinox a week ago, they had it on the lunch buffet on sea days.  They had sea bream and grouper.  It was cooked fresh and very good.

Just got off of Harmony yesterday.  They did sing Until We Meet Again, along with Leaving on A Jet Plane.  Lots of fun!

We were a large family group on Oasis and wanted some group photos on formal night. They just told us to be first in line at the stairs. We were able to get a few group photos of the entire family, just the cousins, etc., and each family just ordered pictures on their own.

I second making later reservations for the shows. I just got off of Oasis on Saturday and I would suggest getting to the venue at least a half hour in advance, if you want decent seats. Some lines were very long. The entertainment is the best that I have seen on a ship.

You can't see or do it all so don't even try. Read the Compass every day to make sure that you know what is happening. It's very easy to miss things.

Pepsicruiser - those were my two favorite cruises, as well, in the same order, only we sailed from Hawaii to Vancouver. They were on Jewel and Radiance.

9078 and 9092 are my favorite cabins on Radiance class ships. The location and the balconies are great. Sorry but I've never been in 9576.

I just got off of Summit on Sunday, and yes, there was a carafe of water in the room. This was the first time that I drank only bottled water and did notice the difference in the lack of swelling in my hands and feet. It may only be a coincidence but I was a lot more comfortable than I usually am during a cruise.

You'll love the second book, A Thousand Splendid Suns. It takes place from a woman's perspective and is wonderful.

Oops - I replied to the wrong thread. I thought I was back in the original one, not one of the links. Oh well.

Again - Azure Seas was my second (of many) cruises and I still remember her well. Back then, every cruise was new and very exciting. We had a great time even though it was a short one.

The Kite Runner is a great book. Nothing is too intense for me on a cruise, especially for those sea days. I curl up with a book for hours and only stop to eat and drink.

It's called A Trip to the Beach by Melinda and Robert Blanchard. Enjoy.

I thought The Lovely Bones was a great book. It was not sad like I thought it was going to be. It was written from a totally different perspective. I think you will enjoy it.
