  1. There was one photo op in the MDR last week on Equinox in addition to the staged photos in the hallway on Chic night. No embarkation photo or port photos.
  2. Equinox appeared to be 100%…or pretty close to it…on our 2/9 sailing.
  3. Is this how I’ll recognize you when we sail on Silhouette next April? 😉
  4. I had a SV (my first) on Solstice doing that itinerary pre-Covid. The sunsets were beautiful as we sailed east. The temps got a bit cooler the closer we got to Canada. I was still able to enjoy the balcony…pack a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt in case it’s too cool for you. Enjoy!
  5. I’ve run into Captain Kate eating with several of her staff in OVC. I would be surprised if LLP mingled with passengers (aka common folk).
  6. Looking forward to your Apex review. I've done two cruises on Edge, but will sail Apex for the first time in December (no suite for me, but always look forward to my SV). It will be my first solo cruise in a long time. I sailed on Equinox with a group last week...they found it humorous that I was able to start up a conversation with anyone...fellow passengers, crew, random statues (I do love Mr. Potato Head outside the shops). I figure if I want to make friends, that's the way to go! Bon Voyage Susan
  7. I sailed on Equinox 2/9-18. I had no complaints...primarily because I am a chicken breast or meat and potatoes kind of girl (served after my shrimp cocktail). Our group did eat two nights in Tuscan Grill which was outstanding. I believe the portions were smaller but that wasn't a problem for us. My only disappointment was that the OVC discontinued the Asian stir fry every night. I tracked down one of the chefs who told me it was wasteful. When I asked how that was possible since the food is made to order, he merely smirked and told me in a very condescending manner that I could ask for it in the MDR. What am I missing? They usually offer a couple of proteins, veggies, which are precut, and either rice or noodles. There shouldn't be any need to cut up a lot since they would have the ability to cut up more as needed. Maybe I'll have more luck on Apex in December!
  8. Happy to hear that you enjoyed Edge. You will love the SV. Amazing views of the wake!
  9. I just got off Equinox this morning…waiting at the airport to return to reality 😱. I’m anxious to hear your impressions. Bon Voyage
  10. Any Celebrity ship is my favorite! I am sailing on Equinox this week; she was my first Celebrity ship and got me hooked. ⚓️
  11. Your photos are beautiful. We board Equinox next week for the ABCs and Puerta Plata. I’m anxious to get back to my first Celebrity ship. Thanks 😎
  12. Just found your review…and loving it! Look forward to meeting you when we board next week. Susan 😎
  13. I love him so much and miss him terribly when I cruise! Mine is Sinbad…how about yours?
  14. Off topic…love the blue and gold macaw in your signature! I wonder if he is related to mine!!! 😉
  15. You can also put your valuables in the safe when you go to your cabin!
  16. I have sailed in a SV on both deck 8 and 10 on Edge. Excellent cabins with a true balcony and excellent view of the wake. I have a deck 9 SV booked on Apex. I’m okay with the long walk as it allows me extra desert! 😋
  17. Check out their website. They offered several tours that included the caves. It was a wonderful day.
  18. We did neither. Booked through Viator.
  19. You can take the water taxi from the port area over to Hamilton and back again. We bought our tickets earlier in the day to save time. There are food vendors lining the Main Street (I was in Heaven eating a warm funnel cake) in addition to the permanent restaurants. Also crafts and dancing. It’s a fun time! Happy birthday 🎁. What a great way to celebrate.
  20. We booked a private excursion for our middle, full day…from approximately 9am for 6 hours…through Viator…we were picked up at the ship and stopped at the Crystal Caves (gorgeous), off to Hamilton to wander for awhile and lastly to Horseshoe Beach (also gorgeous). If you are there on Wednesday, there is a street festival in Hamilton which was fun.
  21. So far, I’m loving it!!! I have sailed twice on Edge and am looking forward to Apex. I have to wait until December but I’m sure it will be worth it! Susan 😎
  22. Check out a review titled Silhouette Side by Side. Written by GenX. She spent 4 nights on Silhouette followed by (not sure how many) nights on MSC. I believe she is still on MSC. I love her reviews; however, she was in a Royal Suite on Silhouette and now in MSC’s Yacht Club. I can’t relate to high end amenities (I am a SV cruiser) so didn’t finish the review. I’m sure you can get the comparison you want.
