Equinox dry dock

[Cruiscs]

Seems like Equinox will have a three week «break» between april 23 to may 16 2024. Will she be in dry dock?

[remarcm]

Yes, we just got off last week and Staff Captain said dry dock would start in April.

I only remember mention of painting of the hull and bottom and some technical stuff that will be fixed. Sorry.

[Jim_Iain]

I've listed what is normally done on my thread under the same subject.    I also have some pictures (limited) that have shown up.

Any updates? Have heard she will get a big refit

I believe X announced last year that there would be no more "revolutionizing" of S or M class ships, only the regularly scheduled maintinance  These usually include soft goods upgrades and some furniture upgrades as well as mechanical.

Some just can't accept that no more ships will be revolutionized, I have heard this from more than on senior officer while on a Celebrity cruise. That includes finishing the partial 2019 revolutionizing of the Equinox.

Some people have said its going to be major updates while others just rutine maintenance

Here is a recent CC article with upcoming refurbishment information on Celebrity ships. If you read you will see that the Equinox is NOT listed through 2026. This article was updated in October this year. Any ships not on this list that have drydocks scheduled will be only for routine maintenance.

Has anyone heard anymore about what will be done during the 3 week dry dock for Equinox?  I know that the now "Ultimate Verandas" at the front of the ship will be renovated into "Horizon Suites"  but are any other staterooms/suites also being renovated?

Which info were you interested in ? 
The drydock is general knowledge, and the change in cabins is listed on Celebrity website

Because those 4 rooms are being "sold" as Horizon Suites on the X website and everywhere else after May 15, 2024.

Sounds like it definitely is going in for a facelift and some improvements. 23 days is a lot of time.

[FamilyAtSea.travel]

Do we have any ideas about what may be done in this dry dock? 

 

While 23 days is a decent amount of time, I doubt it's enough time to do anything significant.

 

We'll be on the Equinox for the June 4 Mediterranean sailing so hoping for a nice surprise!
