Live Equinox August 13th Sailing

Thank you so much for the great pics! Looks like you had a great time. The lineup for tenders in GC looks pretty long...how bad was the wait to get off or did it move pretty quickly? We have a privately booked excursion and we're just wondering how far ahead we need to get in line. Also, were there any laundry specials during your sailing?

Thanks and safe flight home!

Ok, I think were next. We have tag #19 and was supposed to be at 820. They are about 30 to 40 mins behind.

Thank you for including us on your cruise! Your pics really make us anxious to board the Equinox on October 27rh for our next cruise. When you gathered with Elite and Elite + for the breakfast before disembarkation in the Tuscan Grille, do they still serve pastries, juice and coffee?

We were in 6240 last week on the Equinox. The bed is by the balcony. We found the location to be perfect. I didn't have any issues with noise from the hallway.

We were on the Aug, 13th sailing also and in cabin 6216 - right on the hump by the internet cafe and elevators. Food was very good and the entertainment was great. Throughly enjoyed the cruise, but it was just too hot for me - will never again go to the Caribbean during summer.

Thanks for the Menu Pictures!

What a nice looking couple. And you don't look a day over 49!

Where would you recommend eating lunch after boarding the first day? We hate going to the buffet. Did you book Tropicante on your own? How long was the taxi ride there? It looks awesome. And most importantly, how did you get that great price? Through a travel agent or own your own through Celebrity?

I will have to admit the the Oceanview on embarkation day was a mad house, we couldn't find a table inside so we had to eat outside and it was hot as you know what in Miami.

We did book Tropicante on our own, you just email Steve and he will email you back http://www.sandalsandskis.com/tropicante.html , the taxi ride there is at most 10 mins and thats going really slow, about 5 or 10 miles an hour.

I assume you mean for the price on the cruise, I'm not sure, it was definitely a group rate but there were a lot of online agencies offering it. I was totally surprised to find that for a summer cruise. Celebrity was also offering their $50 deposit at the time, when I called the t/a they told me that the group qualified for the reduced deposit, which again surprised me because usually groups don't. And it even came with a $50 OBC and free gratuities

Was that price for 2 or 1?

We got an unobstructed balcony on the hump, which is near the elevators and what we need for DH for $1,938 bottom line - for the 2 of us + $175 OBC. We only booked 4 weeks out, so I was thrilled that I was able to get such a good cabin so close to sailing - someone must have changed cabins and this one became available. Guarantees were several hundred $'s less, but we need to be close to elevators, so they're usually not an option for us

What a fantastic review and pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed reading along. We are doing the same ship/itinerary in March 2018, and your review has been a big help. One question - what did you do in GC? Thanks in advance.

My wife photobombed your picture. I think you all were sitting right next to us.

It feels like it's 20 degrees cooler than in Miami and Key West.

That was for the 2 of us. I thought it was a fantastic deal especially since it was a summer sailing. Plus we booked it in November, so it wasn't like it was a last minute thing.

We did absolutely nothing in GC. We walked around a shopped a bit. This was i think the 6th time we were in GC, 4 of the times we did Nativeway's Rays, reef and rum point outing. Ya we think thats an awesome tour.

This is great, and great pics. We're doing the same itinerary in Dec, can't wait!

You'll have a great time, be sure to venture to Mahajual, don't stay in the port area.

Thanks for the review. We've been deciding on our upcoming day in GC and so glad to hear you've enjoyed the Nativeway tour enough to do so 4 times. That's good enough to make my decision easier!
