rolloman Posted May 5, 2019 #177 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I can assure you the refurb started yesterday and will continue until the ship gets to Cadiz. No time will be wasted just because the ship is in transit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamjam44 Posted May 5, 2019 #178 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yes indeed the refurb started yesterday - the pool deck was cleared of all chairs Friday night and workers were busy working on the pool deck before we debarked on Saturday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSPHD Posted May 5, 2019 #179 Share Posted May 5, 2019 We were on the Equinox last summer and, even as a not-brand-new ship, it was beautiful and far better appointed, in terms of beauty and overall practicality, than the new Edge. We loved our cabin on the Equinox. It had the most storage we have ever had, and everything was extremely well-maintained. This ship does not need extensive refurbishing. Though it is unfortunate that the time for the work may have to be shortened, and that some of planned revolution may be revised, it would be hard to believe that anyone booked on the Equinox will find anything at all disappointing about this outstanding and gorgeous ship. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted May 5, 2019 #180 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The refurb will be going on until the day it docks back in Florida. Any work that doesn't need to be done in the dry dock will be done in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What didn’t you like about the Edge about beauty and practicality on your preview to maiden journey? Much has changed on Edge since then.

This is great news for us! I've never been on a cruise and we booked a sky suite for our honeymoon on the equinox in November 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much has changed on Edge since then. Another example of beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Edge didn't suit the tastes needs of this person, why challenge them. I'm sure you're aware of the long list of features on the Edge that are not viewed as practical on the Edge. The list includes but is not limited to: Poor IV balcony design, lack of any light blocking feature on the bi-fold doors, poor furniture design, lack of shade on the pool deck, no forward facing common areas for non-suite guests, etc. But I'm sure you are aware of these issues that have been reported by many passengers and none of these issues have been addressed. The Edge suits your needs and tastes, that's great, but please don't discount the opinions of many other cruise passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted May 8, 2019 #188 Share Posted May 8, 2019 We liked EDGE and are going back on her, but look forward to the renovated Equinox and Silhouette. Hoping they will be refreshed and not lose too much of their former public spaces and include shade at the Sunset Bar. Much will depend on pricing and reviews for AQ Class versus Concierge Class which now includes nice perks, and ongoing reviews for BLU which have not been stellar recently. We are also interested in the type of dining experiences that will be offered...The Le Petit Chef cartoon dinner is not of interest...nor is sushi. Wish they would do a new Bistro Cafe and something like the Eden Cafe.... plus more Asian other than at the buffet. Looking forward to seeing any photos that are posted during and after the Equinox renovations.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted May 8, 2019 #189 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Looking forward to pictures. Gotta admit, it's kind of bittersweet seeing the Revolutionied Millineum pictures all over Instagram knowing that the Equinox is not going to get the full treatment now. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no bathroom updates it seems. Wonder if that is true across all stateroom types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted May 8, 2019 #192 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Also curious, what about reg balc and Aquaclass staterooms? So same storage closets? That might be a plus! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted May 8, 2019 #194 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I believe that they were never going to do the same extent of refurbishment on S-Class ships that they did on M-Class (Millennium and Summit). Unfortunately we have lost the Equinox example for S-Class to see what was planned in the full dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking forward to to seeing what updates are done. Our cabin is an aft S1 and hoping for some updated colors and features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboro Posted May 8, 2019 #200 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Sound like unless you are in certain class of cabins there is really nothing much changing. Just glad the suites are not being added to the Sky Lounge area. There was previously something about them changing the buffet to a marketplace type of set up...but thought that is what is was now.
