Stand by flight due to not taking the private charter flight the company has him on. We really want to go to Bonaire and Curacao, we just got back from Aruba as we go twice a year there but want to see the other islands and there are only three cruises that go there, two in July which we prefer not to go as there are more children on ships in July, then there is this one August cruise which is the last to cruise to the ABC islands. We don't mind paying for the entire cruise and missing 3 nights, we have no choice anyways. We can travel to miami on boarding day which we will not make the cruise as the flights arrive around 3pm and not enough time to get to the ship, we can jump a plane easily to Aruba from Miami and pick up the ship in Aruba. It is a 8 night cruise so picking it up in Aruba we remain to have 5 nights on the ship. We are booked on another Celebrity cruise this October and got off another Celebrity in March, we are avid cruisers so its ok to miss some days on this particular cruise. We don't mind paying and missing days, its our only choice.

Intentionally due to needing to be at corporate mid year re-org conference.

He has to fly american and the first flight out of NY to Miami gets him in at 2:50pm not enough time to get to the ship.

Hello, We want to book our next years August trip only the cruise we want docks in Aruba and sails pt. carnival on August 10th. My husband has a corporate mid year reorganization conference that he must attend on august 5-9 in NY and the company has him flying standby (I probably go with him so ensure we get on the cruise together). Question, if he does not make the flight to Pt. Canaveral is he allowed to catch the ship on the first port of call which happens to be in Aruba on the fourth day of the cruise? Has anybody missed their embarkation and flown to a port to catch their cruise? If so, any suggestions/advice you can give us? This is the only sailing that goes to the ABC islands in August, 2024. Thank you.

Yes, I had a bad waiter after hearing you and others were allowed, we were told a straight no, which made us feel Blu was nothing special. Hopefully on this next cruise on the Equinox we have a good service and they meet our expectations and I will rave about them instead of putting Blu down as we do not care for many of the offerings on the menu there.

I guess I had a bad waiter who lied to me. That is very unfortunate, because of that it left a bad taste in my mouth to go back to Blu.

Hello, On the Edge and Beyond we were in aqua class and were not able to order starters such as caesars salad/onion soup in Blu, I believe because the dining room was in a distance. We will be on the Equinox and wondering if we are allowed to order items from the MDR in Blu on this ship?

I called and with special permission they allow this. I have no problem in paying for an entire cruise, with the premium drink and wi fi package and not cruising all the says. I was thinking of boarding in Aruba on her fourth day and finishing the 8 night cruise.

I have a destination wedding to go and want to cruise the same time as I need to use vacation time.

Hello, We love Aruba and fly there twice a year and do take cruises yearly also. We do not have direct flights from northern Florida to Aruba and need to connect. We are wondering if its allowed that we take a cruise, get off in Aruba port and stay there for a week then go back on another cruise a week later, in other words board it in Aruba then go back home to Florida to avoid flying? Has anybody done this, if so, are they any rules/regulations we need to know about?

Where is the wi fi help desk on the Equinox?

We always get the premium internet package, as my other half has to check work emails daily and I like to keep an eye on my pets at home via the cameras. On the Edge and Apex the internet worked fine but we were unable to make calls, but able to text, look at cameras etc. I read on other boards here of people saying the internet on the Equinox is very bad. Question, we again will have the premium package, how is the internet as far as getting emails, texting and especially downloading YouTube videos and checking cameras on the house? Truly appreciate the help

How are the mattresses/beds on the Equinox? I have herniated discs in my lower back and plates and screws in my cervical spine.

I found all the wines on the premium package to be not good as well.

Is check in 60 or 90 days from the sailing date?

OOO that is what she must know, she has some health issues right now the reason why I say she needs to stay home and make her doctors appointments. Thank you for that info!

That could be, she still doesn't tell me whether she is going or not, but I hoping not lol.

Hello, We are boarding the Beyond sunday, my sister/brother in law still haven't reserved a room but they said blue ship is holding a room for them in case they want to go. I cannot believe they holding a room for them when you think they want to make money. She goes on the Beyond twice a month but I have doubts that a room be held for them just days before, and the fact she may not go, any thoughts?

Thank you for the review we leave on sunday. Question, the first night at Blu they have veal and duck and a ravioli, my other half and adult daughter do not eat duck or veal and we stay away from pasta. Do they offer a steak there like the MDR does and or can you order a main entree from the MDR. I have posts on this and they are 50/50 yes and no so like to hear what your thoughts are on this thank you.

What stateroom did you have ugh.

Hello, I did ask about the temperature but only two people answered and I didn't ask what type of cabin they had and I forgot to ask whether the system shuts off with no movement in the cabin, thank you for answering this question. Instead of getting another seapass, would a credit card or any other type of card that size do the trick? Or does it have to be the sea pass card?

Question, I have asthma and it is worse at night when in lying down position. How cool can the room get, and does the room get that cool or do you feel the room is actually warmer than what the thermostat reads? Should I bring a fan? Lastly, when I leave the room, does the ac either shut off (with no movement in the room) and or does it go up to a higher temperature when nobody is in the room?

I can't the only availability in all four MDR is 9pm and 9:30pm way too late to start dinner.

I know the suites have them, been in suites on the Apex and the Epic (just the Aqua Suite and Sky Suites) we don't care for the tub/shower combo thats a deal breaker for us and the suites are a lot smaller than the ones we had on Royal Caribbean, so the AC is perfect for this time around. Just need somebody to confirm if they have the make up mirror in the AC. My eyes are not what they used to be lol.

Its reserved, I was able to get a decent time today!
